    A Truce and not a Treaty?
    So Russia will get a break to regroup and in exchange Ukraine is expected to pull out of contested areas so Russia can get a running start on the rest of Ukraine when the truce falls apart?

      This is a paranoid fantasy based on propaganda from American shills.

      Even the last peace negotiations didn’t include any demands for annexing the breakaway republics (who have no interest in being part of a Nazi state that tried to ethnically cleanse them), it only asked that they be left alone as independent states. The UK prime minister, Boris Johnson ordered Ukraine to refuse after they were initially going to accept. Now Russia has been forced to annex them and the deal is even worse for Ukraine. “contested areas” my arse. These people want self-determination. Russia doesn’t want any more of Ukraine.

        It’s rich you complaining about propaganda.

        Yeah, people could listen to all of us “American Shills”, or they could just believe their eyes. Russia illegally and violently invaded Ukraine, a sovereign nation, capturing and killing men, women, and children, and they did it in front of all of us. Those are the facts, and you can confirm it with any independent news source.

        What you think or what Russia says they want or will do is worth jack shit…

          After Ukraine and their NATO backers blatantly violated peace treaties, Russia entered an already ongoing civil war where Ukraine was illegally and violently trying to ethnically cleanse a minority population within their own borders, killing men, women, and children while doing so, and they did it in front of all of us. Those are the facts, and you can confirm it with any independent news source.

          Russia doesn’t have a long list of breaking peace agreements or invading sovereign countries. On the other hand, NATO, particularly the US, have a disgustingly long list of violently invading countries under paper thin pretexts and lies. It’s not Russia whose word isn’t worth jack shit.
