      Yes Ukraine is free to ignore them. The western coalition funding Ukraine’s war effort is also free to stop doing so. I’m not saying this to express that I wish Ukraine to be pressured to settle, but instead to highlight that Ukraine is not a self-reliant actor in this conflict.

      Wasn’t Ukraine willing to have peace talks last year until our good pal Boris Johnson came in and wrecked it all?

        I believe the peace talks fell apart once they discovered evidence of all the rape and murder committed by the russians.

      Agreed. Hexbear and lemmygrad idiots are pretending to be all for peace and yet support the war mongers in russia.

      These instances are a magnet for dishonesty and propaganda. Plus they have a 4chan attitude towards discussions, i.e. they keep shifting goalposts if you press them and throw absurd statements at you while doing so. There is nothing redeeming of those places.

      They didn’t even read the article either clearly lol

      One Baltic official, requesting anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, told The Hill that Baltic states are concerned that pushing Ukraine into negotiations will have dangerous ripple effects throughout the region.

      This is the “fears of peace talks”

          There’s a lot of silly and disingeneous people on this app, I have to take their written word at face value. You seem to think ad hominem attacks are worth detracting from the article published in The Hill, a news source that would normally fit your ideology. So even when your own trusted media is reporting that Ukraine’s a geopolitical and moral mess, instead you’re claiming it’s a group of people spreading propaganda. I think you don’t care about Ukranians you just want to be right.

    I don’t believe this for one second. I haven’t heard anything from the Ukraine administration that would suggest in any way that they are interested in peace talks. In fact, their recent choice of putting a Crimean Tatar as the Minister of Defence suggests that they are serious about taking Crimea back from Russia. I hear nothing but absolute resolve by both the Weat and Ukraine to keep fighting until a Ukraine victory.

    Russia has done horrible things to the Ukrainian people for a good century now. I hope the Ukraine doesn’t get pressured into giving its land and people over to Putin. Any deal needs to give Ukraine all its territory back, and for Russia to keep its military off their border.

        I’m pretty left leaning, and I’m against any fascist state trying to turn its neighbors into vassal states for its interest. And yes, that means being against a lot of what the US does as well.

            If it’s a proxy war, that means that Russia attacked Ukraine to get back at the US, not the other way around. This means it’s on Russia to stop the war, by giving back an innocent country’s land that they stole.

              Try studying history and us involvement in the region. Instead gas lighting people like they don’t know why Russia invaded part of the country. What has the US and NATO done prior to 2014 to create stability and peace in the region. Jack shit, the opposite, and there were plenty of opportunities. Ukraine isn’t going to get its land back period.

        What has Ukraine Czechoslovakia allowed to have happen [sic] to it’s [sic] ethnic Russian German population comprising a decent portion of the east of Ukraine [sic] West of Czechoslovakia done during it’s [sic] time?

        The settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem, which has now been achieved is, in my view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Europe may find peace.

        • Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister, September 30th, 1938.

        More context:

        The Munich Agreement[a] was an agreement concluded at Munich on 30 September 1938, by Nazi Germany, the United Kingdom, the French Republic, and Fascist Italy. The agreement provided for the German annexation of part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland, where more than three million people, mainly ethnic Germans, lived.

    Wow, that is some bad title. I would say concerns are justified if Russia can just keep annexing chunks from other countries. It started with Georgia and Ukraine and we can see the same events happening in Moldova currently.

    Also if Russia were to share a proper border with Poland then that’s pretty much guaranteed WW3, Poland hates Russia with a passion.

      It really depends. If Russia gets to keep territory it conquered, keep children it kidnapped, not pay for the destruction and murder it wrought, see sanctions lifted and proceed to immediately re-arm and continue on its path of indoctrinating children into becoming fascist warriors for the next round, I wouldn’t call that peace.

    “Mother Russia is strong”

    Oh god, you are funny.

    Mother Russia is near death at this point. The world has seen that the Russian army can’t even invade small parts of a country that is a fraction if its own size. Corruption in your army os so rampant that your vehicles have been falling apart by themselves.

    Mother Russia is the laughing stock of the world, at this point and due to the genocide being perpetrated, it’s also hated and a black sheep for decades to come.

    Russia won’t be able to get high tech equipment anymore dor anything.

    Your mothers lost their sons because all the smart and rich ones fled the country. Phuket has a nice “alternative invasion” of young Russian men that fled your country and its a single example. Young men that now are removed from your economy and that is on too of the thousands of dead of your shitty laughingly called “smo”

    Rich countries no longer want to trade with Russia so your mother is limited to the few countries left that will squeeze her balls because they know they can.

    Be careful mother Russia, china has seen how disgustingly weak you are and might help a few other areas in Russia to revolt and become independent Chinese pawns.

    Mother Russia is fucked, and if you don’t know that then you’re even more pathetic than I thought.

    “SMO” really shows where you get your info from. You support a dictator / maffia boss, you support genocide, and you are on the losing side.

    Your shit army couldn’t even invade a country properly because of all the corruption going on and now you’re being kicked out.

    Russia is the laughing stock and black sheep of the world and it will take decades to rid itself of that mark. Your smart and strong men flew the country because fuck that, they’re not dying for Putin’s bullshit. The only few counties left willing to trade with you are squeezing your balls because they know they can. Russia hasn’t been this week since it’s founding, and you better start worrying about olgout other borders and your internal affairs. Russia is what it is because it suppressed millions. Now that it’s falling appart, those suppressed will stand up, and china, I’m sure, would love to annex a piece of Russia.

    You’re fucked.

    Fears of peace talks

    Seems like mask off moment. Now i will read the comments if i suspect the resident liberal warmongers are still on their lines.

        I’m guessing they fear that like in 2014, they will have to concede land to Russia, which is what they did NOT want to do. It’s not the fear talks they fear, it’s the result.
