U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the United States and its allies should not support a cease-fire or peace talks to end the war in Ukraine until Kyiv gains strength and can negotiate on its own terms. Blinken said in Finland on Friday that heeding calls from Russia and others for negotiations now would result in a false “Potemkin peace” that wouldn’t secure Ukraine’s sovereignty and or enhance European security. He argued that a cease-fire allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin “to consolidate control over the territory he has seized, and rest, rearm, and re-attack" would not bring "a just and lasting peace.” Kyiv has given confusing signals about whether a counteroffensive is coming or already underway.
“We believe the prerequisite for meaningful diplomacy and real peace is a stronger Ukraine, capable of deterring and defending against any future aggression,” Blinken said in a speech in Finland, which recently became NATO’s newest member and shares a long border with Russia.
I’m just parroting back the exact same thing people are saying to me, but from the other side. I didn’t start insinuating support for one side or the other in the war in Ukraine made someone a friend of people they don’t know.
I’m not a friend of fascists. I actively work against fascists and the far right in my local community.
Also that might be one of the least credible websites I have ever seen in my life. It’s not even a news website, it’s nominally dedicated to the “strange trumpet sounds heralding the Rapture that have been heard in the skies throughout the world”. If you’re going to spout off misinformation at least take the time to stand up a website that looks professional and claims to be some sort of human rights watchdog or something, because that bit of bottled schizophrenia is not it.
You literally just voiced support for literal fascists doing terrorism in Belgorod. And war crimes of Ukraine are well documented, even amnesty international acknowledges them. And of course, these include execution of POWs.
The military leaders who ordered troops to garrison in illegal areas should be arrested, charged, and tried in an impartial court.
Any Ukrainian soldiers who killed POWs should be arrested, charged, and tried in an impartial court.
War crimes are not ok, and have been committed by both sides. Any perpetrator of a war crime, regardless of allegiance, should be tried and appropriately punished if convicted.
Putin can end this war by pulling back his troops. I do not support the invasion of sovereign nations, just as I don’t support the violation of an individual’s sovereignty over themselves.

If by that you mean Ukraine losing a bunch of people and equipment to accomplish nothing then sure.

I love how you just keep doubling down on being a friend of literal fascists https://strangesounds.org/2022/03/war-crimes-from-ukrainian-army-are-starting-to-fill-the-internet-and-they-are-disgusting-warning-shocking-images-and-videos.html
