Ukrainian president says plan would not be fair without guarantees that Russia would not simply take over zone
The US wants Ukraine to withdraw its troops from the Donbas region, and Washington would then create a “free economic zone” in the parts Kyiv currently controls, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
Previously, the US had suggested Kyiv should hand over the parts of Donbas it still controlled to Russia, but the Ukrainian president said on Thursday that Washington had now suggested a compromise version in which Ukrainian troops would withdraw, but Russian troops would not advance into the territory.
“Who will govern this territory, which they are calling a ‘free economic zone’ or a ‘demilitarised zone’ – they don’t know,” said the Ukrainian president, speaking with journalists in Kyiv on Thursday.
These “peace plans” are deliberately humiliating and dumb. Time to stop inviting the US to the negotiating table.
Problem is that the Great Bozo the Orange keeps showing up and Russia likes him there because they think he’s funny.
The more stupid Russia makes Trump look, the better it is for them. The entire objective is to fully destroy America’s reputation in the world. They’ve already done that with spectacular success, now they’re just piling on.
It’ll just raise the US’s reputation even more when it finally stirs from its lethargy and cleans house.
Or ruin it even more when they squander that opportunity, like they did during the Biden administration.
Unfortunately you’ll most likely be right, dems won’t do shit, because they don’t want to cause a ruckus and their backers probably have their own skeletons in a closet that might fall out. All the shit under Trump will just fade away.
It’s not just modern Dems. The simple fact is, Dems have been extremely weak for decades, and have basically become presidential placeholders, in office just long enough for people to forget the last bad Conservative president, and elect another one to continue their destruction of America.
The last strong Democratic president was LBJ. We need another warrior like him.
I think you’re confused: this is a proxy war between the US/NATO and Russia, using mostly Ukrainian lives. The big boys table involves Trump and Putin, lol, they’re the decision makers here, Zelensky is just a handpicked puppet. 🤷
Trump’s USA is most definitely not on NATO’s or Ukraine’s side(s).
Which is why the peace deal has already been made right?
So if the USA and Russia declare peace, but Ukraine keeps fighting?
By the logic of @ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world, Ukraine, as a US puppet, wouldn’t continue fighting if US and Russia declare peace.
I don’t see that they have any choice but to keep fighting.
Which gives Russia the excuse it wants to attack and try and take more land.
Just like the lopsided cease fire in Gaza that the US “brokered” gave the IDF a bunch of excuses that they still managed to massively overreach.
