  1. Gee, 🤔 you mean tRUmp putting him and Putin in a room to hash it out, won’t work?!? 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

  2. > KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that he will present to President Joe Biden a plan to strengthen Ukraine that could “pave the way to a reliable peace” in the country’s ongoing war with Russia.

    > Speaking in Kyiv, Zelensky said the plan would not end the war outright but that “it would help.” The Ukrainian president will travel to the United States later this month to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York, and he is expected to meet with Biden.

    > “I can’t give 100 percent that it will stop [Russian President Vladimir] Putin — no,” Zelensky said after his speech during a question-and-answer session conducted by foreign policy analyst Fareed Zakaria. “But it will make Ukraine stronger. And I think push Putin to think about how to finish the war.”

    tl;dr

  3. Giving Ukraine all available long-range weapons and permission to use them freely would surely go a long way. It would be quite nice to get this done so that everyone could move on.

  4. Russia has been a problem since Stalin. We could have been friends after ww2, but they went the other way. I’m ok if we take Belarus into this thing and liberate it.

  5. Zelenskyy knows Ukraine needs to have their ’91 borders and NATO membership for their sovereignty to be upheld.

  6. What’s the plan though?

    Putin can’t back down or he’ll get demolished, he needs something to show for this.

    Ukraine is not willing to give anything up (rightfully so).

    Doesn’t this end with Ukraine somehow winning causing Russia to nuke them? Or Russia somehow winning and then what? The rest of the world says “Darn, we tried”?

  7. VegetableWishbone on

    I doubt it. Pokrovsk front is about to collapse, Kursk salient being systematically annihilated. Short of NATO’s direct involvement, Ukraine is in a very precarious situation.
