Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

If Russia walks away with any land from this, they're gonna do it again almost immediately.

It sucks, but it's got to be a hardline or it's just a delay.

The comments come after Putin held a phone call with Trump, during which he continued to refuse to agree to a full ceasefire, stating he is prepared to negotiate a "memorandum regarding a potential future peace treaty."

But I thought Trump was the only one who could bring an end to the war? What gives?

Fuck you, it’s sarcasm and I’m sick of having to point it out.

Ending the war is easy. Anyone can end this war tomorrow if Zelenskyy agree to give up more land.

Ending the war with justice is hard if not impossible. The only way is to redefine the justice, and trump vance is working on it.

I mean a full and unconditional surrender from P̶o̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ Ukraine to the N̶a̶z̶i̶s̶ Russians would be a quick end to the war. I don't think it would fall under any sane civilians definition of "easy" though, it'd likely be just the beginning of the walk to the chambers for them...

Trump and Putin are probably just trying to work out how to best split Ukraine between them.
