Summary
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Russia rejects a weak ceasefire in Ukraine, instead seeking a legally binding peace deal ensuring the security of Russia and its neighbors.
Lavrov accused the West of using truces to re-arm Ukraine and called for agreements preventing future violations.
President Putin expressed readiness for talks with Trump but ruled out territorial concessions or Ukraine’s NATO membership, a key Russian concern.
Ukraine remains committed to pursuing NATO membership despite Russia’s objections.
Aren’t they kidnapping children for “reeducation” and whatnot…? I think that counts as genocide…
And even if they weren’t (currently) doing it in Ukraine they’ve been doing it elsewhere, like in Chechnya…
And, well, genocides, pogroms, and whatnot have been a Russian tradition for a long time… Ukraine in particular still remembers Stalin’s holodomor, and the deportation of the Crimean Tatars…
Hell, if there’s such a thing as unintentional genocide or genocide by incompetence they’ve probably been doing it to themselves for centuries… “… and then things got worse” and all that…
