    The only people on the planet who still do not understand Putin does not want peace are all in the Trump Administration.

  2. Best quote not in the article:

    “He’s an entire dumbass if he thinks he’s getting the entire Donbas”

    If Trump agrees to give the Donbass defense line to Russia, then at the next moment U.S. soldiers would have to pay for it with their blood – or the United States would do what it always does: break its agreements. 
    That is the reason U.S. security guarantees are worthless. If the United States took these guarantees seriously, it would not take the risk of giving these defense lines to Russia, because it would mean having to pay for it with its own blood if Russia were to attack Ukraine after receiving this land.

    The little evil gnome Pootin is delusional. His days are numbered. Ukraine will be victorious.

  7. Bunker daddy doesn’t want to lose face. The Chinese are salivating. 👀 🤡 💩 🇷🇺

  8. He is in a position to demand nothing. Let his forces continue to faulter and wane with attrition.

    Then entire Ukraine, then entire Europe? Sure, just give it all to them. For the sake of “peace”.

    Why are these dinosaurs still in the world? Leave other peoples’ lands the FUCK alone, and concentrate on creating the global cooperation that ensures we have a viable planet to live on going forward!!

  11. Russia needs to bypass Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, they are fortress cities with bunker complexes on the scale of Mariupol, and there is no way Russia can seize them in the state their military is in right now. But if they can steal them through negotiation, then there is no single defencive fortress city comparable to them till Kyiv.

  12. FYI: “ The Donbas region is exceptionally rich in natural resources, holding over 56% of Ukraine’s hard coal reserves (valued at ~$12 trillion) along with significant natural gas, shale gas, oil, and critical minerals like lithium, tantalum, and strontium. These vast deposits make the area a crucial industrial and strategic hub. ”

    Putin recently stated that he wants to conquer all of what he calls Noworossija. That’s half the country, including Odesa and Ukraine wouldn’t be able to survive as an independent state like that. Putin ultimately wants ALL of Ukraine and the extinction of the Ukrainian language, culture and identity. He also needs to conquer all of Ukraine if he ever wants to get a shot at conquering Poland later, after the right wing parties would have potentially destroyed NATO. Anyone who believes that this is just about some more land is delusional. Zelensky knows that peace isn’t possible, but he needs to play along with these “ceasefire negotiations” because Ukraine needs to maintain the ability to buy US weapons.
    Russia, on the other hand, is only using this topic to shift the blame for the ongoing war to Ukraine, to undermine support for Ukraine and to cause infighting among the Western allies. The Western media are completely failing to put current events into context.

  14. And the Trump administration are inclined to give it to him because it justifies their own ambitions in Greenland and South America.

  15. He cant even capture Pokrovsk, now he lost Kupyansk and he still thinks Ukrainians will give him land that would take him (100 years according to British intelligence report) with current pace to capture?
