Kyiv has been offered a “Kremlin peace plan” under the guise of negotiations. The US and Russia have reportedly prepared a peace plan for Ukraine that would involve Kyiv meeting the Kremlin’s maximalist demands, says Christopher Miller, a correspondent for the Financial Times.
At the same time, Reuters sources report that the US indicated to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Kyiv should accept Washington-prepared frameworks for ending the war with Russia. It remains unclear what security guarantees would be given for Kyiv, as there is no evidence that the Kremlin has abandoned its imperial ambitions.
Earlier, Axios wrote that Washington and Moscow were discussing a new peace plan to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
You know you are free to go join the Russian army and go kill innocent families and kidnap children for Russia’s war if you are so enthusiastic about sucking Putin’s dick right?
Maybe you can cede your home and all your possessions to Putin? You realize that is what you are defending right?
Nope, it’s actually a simple question:
Do you think the Ukrainian common people should be the primary agents in determining whether or not to continue combat?
No shit people don’t wanna die in a war.
The alternative is fascists rule the world. It sucks but the shittiest people in the world have the most power in the world.
That only changes if people fight which is why it is important that the world stand with Ukraine against Putin and the fascists of this world.
And there’s the rub. You can’t just stick your fingers in your ears when Ukrainians are aiming to end combat and pursue negotiations, and then turn around and say you are “standing with Ukraine”.
Put simply: to stand with Ukraine means to affirm the hopes of common Ukrainians - which is definitively not what you’re doing.
Consider this thought experiment:
In 5 years, supposing the grueling combat has continued, and 95% of Ukrainians definitively and undoubtedly wish to end combat, is it really “standing with Ukraine” if you reject this number and insist they continue to fight to “save the world from fascism” while you yourself have not enlisted?
