Cameroni Posted April 29 Posted April 29 2 hours ago, ChicagoExpat said: then you'll believe that Russia gets to determine how other sovereign nations conduct themselves, and has the right to invade anytime the czar is displeased. This is not a "belief". This is the reality of the world. Just as the USA gets to determine how other sovereign nations conduct themselves, witness Panama being invaded when they sold secrets to Cuba, if those sovereign nations are in the US sphere of influence, so does Russia get to determine how other sovereign nations conduct themselves, if they are in the Russian sphere of inluence. And Ukraine conducted herself abominably, jumped into bed with hansum man America and then did a gangbang with Europe on top, when its boyfriend Russia was paying her energy bills. Cheating is an ugly betrayal, and Ukraine now pays the price. 1 4
dinsdale Posted April 29 Posted April 29 16 minutes ago, Eric Loh said: Putin asked for 3 days ceasefire so he can have his annual military parade in Red Square. He is never genuine with any peace plan unless he gets 25% of Ukraine land, Ukraine de-militarized and no Nato membership. True. Easter ceasefire which didn't really happen was for troop rotation and ammo restocking and yes, the 3 days is for the May Day parade. You are also correct that he wants the land taken since 2022 plus Crimea and the de-militarization of Ukraine and add elections to this. As for NATO membership that's pretty much gone as it is. Joining the EU is, however, is an open option. As for security guarantees that's more on the part of Ukraine wanting this and this is not an easy thing to do. Who will do the securing that's acceptable to both sides. As for Europe leading negotiations this won't happen. p.s. not sure why your full quote wasn't quoted. I didn't edit out your last two points. 2 2

Russia which you support broke the ceasefire agreements in which they were signatories. Not total failure but total dishonesty of Putin. THis time, he is doing his tap on Trump to arm wristing on Ukraine. Forget USA, Europe must do it on their own. 1 1 1 1

The collapse of Minsk agreement is well documented and can be viewed in public domain that in early January 2015, Russia sent another large batch of its regulars, which together with separatist forces of DPR and LPR began a new offensive on UKraine and broke the agreement. 4 1 1 2

Obviously you are very poorly informed. The Ukrainians themselves have admitted that they breached the Minsk agreements. Ukraine officially admitted violating the Minsk Agreements by using a Turkish-made Bayraktar drone in the east of the country, for instance. In September 2014, Kiev signed a memorandum envisaging a straightforward ban on flights of combat aviation and foreign unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). But Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander Valery] Zaluzhny reported flights and even combat use of UAVs along the line of contact. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed that the Ukrainian military had used the Turkish-made Bayraktar UAV. In accordance with additional ceasefire control measures, in effect since July 27, 2020, the sides are prohibited from using unmanned aerial vehicles in the vicinity of the line of contact. Only the Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Ukraine (OSCE) is allowed to use drones for its monitoring activities. 1 3 1

I didn't edit out your last two points. Europe's ability to replace the US is limited but is evolving. France, UK and EU are driving alternative peace frameworks. US military and diplomatic weight are big factors. At the moment, Europe's proposal risk being undermined by Russia's intransigence and Trump's transactional approach. I believe at the end of the day, success will hinged in Europe manintaining unity, accelerate defense spending and reduce dependency on Washington. I also believe that Putin's hold on Russia in this war has a limited time span. Sooner than later he will be "sidelined" by events and a genuine peace plan with Europe will happen. Just my humble opinion. 1 1 1

Cameroni Posted April 29 Posted April 29 6 minutes ago, Eric Loh said: I see you cut and paste from TASS news agency. You do know TASS is the top Russia news media. Anything else? Will an admission by the President of Ukraine suffice? Zelensky admits he never intended to implement Minsk agreements. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted on Thursday that he had previously told German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron that the Minsk agreements were "impossible", and he did not plan on implementing them. The Ukrainian president said Kiev used the agreement only for the exchange of prisoners of war. Russian President Vladimir Putin said weeks later that Russia was hoping for peace agreements back when it signed the Minsk agreements in 2014, but it was fooled. "We all endured, endured, endured and hoped for some kind of peace agreement, but now it turns out that we were simply fooled," Putin told reporters. "After the revelations of [ex-German Chancellor Angela] Merkel, [ex-Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko, and other politicians about the true goals of the Minsk agreements, it became obvious to everyone that Russia was not the source of the conflict in Ukraine," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu also said. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/zelensky-admits-he-never-intended-to-implement-minsk-agreeme 4 2

Russia is the strongest nation in that region, due its size and military it will in real life have the power to dictate how nations around it conduct themselves. As Ukraine is learning now. Don't provide fantasies to the world you can't fulfill. You claim "Putin is peanuts". And yet all of Europe and the USA are too afraid to put troops on the ground. Because "Putin is peanuts"? Don't talk nonsense. It's because both Europe and the US are afraid and very careful not to provoke Russia into a nuclear war that can destroy this planet. Thankfully the leaders of European countries and the US appear to have more sense than you have. Sadly, Ukraine too, like you, thought it was a "choice". How did that work out for them? 2 2
