No one wants to sit down with foes who bomb their homes indiscriminately and target their energy infrastructure, plunging households into darkness and forcing surgeons in hospitals to perform operations by torchlight.
And as the remains of civilians tortured by Russian soldiers occupying the southern city of Kherson are unearthed, the cold fury Ukrainians felt at the documented abuses — from rape to casually gunning down non-combatants in Bucha and Irpin — only intensifies.
.... Nuts!” also fairly sums up the reaction of “ordinary” Ukrainians I spoke with this week, as to whether they would endorse peace negotiations — and whether they’d be willing to trade any land in the Donbas, or the whole of Crimea, for peace.
Yuliya Grigor, whose soldier husband is currently undergoing treatment for severe shell shock, said Ukraine can win this fight, if the West stays true and constant. The 35-year-old charity worker, who is from Mauripol but now lives in Lviv, said, “Russians don’t understand that however many missiles they throw at us, we won’t give in, surrender or negotiate. And they can’t divide us.”
“We don’t have anything to talk about. Putin doesn’t understand Ukraine is a separate, sovereign country and is united. Anyway, he doesn’t even know the meaning of the word peace. So, there is no sense in talking with them,” she added. ...
Yuliya isn’t alone in her vehemence. I interviewed a dozen others in the underground parking lot of a Lviv shopping mall that now serves as a bomb shelter...
“I disagree, and there can be no talks, no agreements because Russia will always break any deals; you can’t trust them. All countries recognized Ukraine’s borders in 1991, and this is our country."

Keep the war going , Democrats love the “war chest “ funding. Oh, it costs the blood of Ukrainians? No matter, the grift must go on !
“It was avoidable.”
You can bet your ass that this war/conflict was avoidable.
Putin isn’t the one who refused to implement the Minsk Accords.
Putin isn’t the one who violated a promise not to expand a military alliance to NATO’s doorstep.
Putin isn’t the one who has spent the last 30 years launching “Regime change” campaigns across the planet.
Ukraine has been a parasitic, deadbeat, failed state for decades.
Now it’s a parasitic, deadbeat, failed state run by a drug-addicted, butch/femme cross dressing, Banderist Jewish midget.
Sean Penn gave Zelenskyyidiot his Oscars, an award given for ACTING. Yeah, says it all, huh ZelenskyyIdiot?!
NATO became a threat when they supported Muslim terrorist separatists.
This shooting war has been ongoing since 2014 when the US and NATO engineered a coup against an elected, pro-Russian Ukrainian government that spawned the separatist movement in the Donbas and the Russian annexation of Crimea. Zelensky campaigned as the “Peace President” to end the war.
Despite the red lines put forth by Russia that it would not allow Ukraine to become part of NATO, we pushed forward with that objective including having Ukrainian troops trained by NATO and participating in NATO war exercises. You cannot view the current Russian invasion without viewing it in historical context.
Due to our meddling, Ukraine was not independent. They were all tangled up with our corrupt as hell government and firmly in our camp. If they were actually independent, this war would never have happened.
love it when you’re frustrated LOL
That is all the past. There is a war. Ukraine is winning on the battlefield and Russia is being destroyed by the international community.

“Ukraine is winning on the battlefield and Russia is being destroyed by the international community.”

This proxy war could not be fought without US assistance. SecDef Austin said the objectives are regime change in Russia and weakening Russia so it is no longer a threat to Europe.
Do you really think there are no US boots on the ground in Ukraine? We are providing real time intelligence to Ukraine using our satellites. We probably have US Intel assets inside Ukraine as advisors and trainers.
We are paying for the operation and pensions of the Ukrainian government. How do you think Ukrainian troops are being paid?
The US can no longer be the world’s policeman. We are broke. Our own country is in peril. We have no strategic interests in Ukraine. We have no treaty obligations to defend Ukraine. Endless wars have weakened the US. Our greatest threat is China.
