Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

And just as Trump and Zelensky talk…

..Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that any European troops on the ground in Ukraine would be a "legitimate target".

They don't want peace, they want a free ride to Kyiv

I think the script has been written already.. 1) Trump tells Zelenskiy what the Russian "peace terms" are 2) Zelenskiy says they're not reasonable 3) Trump blames Zelenskiy for not wanting peace and prolonging the war. 4) Russia murders more civilians

Putin rings Trump before he talks to Zelensky again.

Reports on Sky Now that Putin and (or so Russia says) Trump oppose Ukraines idea to have a referendum on whether to cede territory.

Ukrainian military officials say their forces are holding their positions in Myrnohrad, a satellite town of the hotly-contested Pokrovsk, despite Russia claiming its troops have made a breakthrough and are in control of the settlement.Read more ⤵️https://tvpworld.com/90770551/ukraine...

putin constantly harps on about zelensky not being properly elected etc. so what he is afraid of letting the ukranian people voting on putin's peace plan

the irish people got to vote on the UK treaty back in 1922 albeit with the threat of total war hanging over us .. why not let ukraine's citizens decide

The concept of national sovereignty is under attack. Putin wants to go back to imperial concepts like protectorates and client states. A country that doesn't decide its own foreign policy or even its own language policy is not truly sovereign.

I think rightfully with America out of the middle East Americans will be more open to this idea. There's bi-partisan support for it you just need a president who'll go for it.

Czechia is weird.

Their new PM seems firmly in the Hungary/Slovakia camp when it comes to Russia and yet they do this ?

Giving up fortifications that ISW says would take Russia years to take in battle is utter capitulation and I would urge Zelensky to reject it if it means Russian troops or paramilitaries getting them. It would be the worst sellout since the Vichy Regime. And if Zelensky accepts it, I don't blame him but Trump. Russia cannot be trusted not to harm the civilians in the rest of Donbass, after what we have seen them do in the last 4 years.

Evidence suggesting otherwise. Denys Davydov on his latest video is claiming Ukraine got their forces out without losses. So Russia took it without a fight. But in reality they've been dropping FABS on it all year.

Obviously this isn't good but if Ukraine can't afford another war of attrition it's the right call. Can't keep falling back forever though.

On the Trump meeting I get the feeling Zelenski is just going with the flow while counting down the days of Trump's presidency. If a ceasefire on current lines is agreed I'm sure he'll take it because better to have a pause during the term of a hostile president. I feel like this is why Putin won't agree to it now though. He'll try take the Donbass before he even considers it.

1 word - business

You have s new cruise missile that youre prettyproud of . you want to export it as much as possible,- your overseas customers want to know how it functions in real life conditions , see the video clips ,- see the actual damage ,,- so you chuck a few Ukraines way - hopefully the germans will buy a gross or 2 for Ukraine -

The Brits do as well. They've come up with some cracking inventions so far in this war.

The frankensam is all I can recall. It's not something that you would be marketing to sell though.

Well there is a mc Donald's there unless it could be a target b4 he gets there.

However that last presser was more putin talking than I have heard b4, disturbing.

Did I do ok comrade, we are very close to US openly supporting Russia the felon is 100% imo
