US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff referred to the early 2022 Istanbul protocols as offering "guideposts" for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. An agreement based on those protocols would be a capitulation document.🧵 (1/9)

2/ The Istanbul protocols emerged from Russia-Ukraine negotiations in March and April 2022 as Ukraine was still reeling from the initial Russian invasion and do not reflect the situation today.
3/ The draft agreement included the following key provisions that would destroy Ukraine's ability to defend itself and prohibit any state from helping Ukraine do so:
4/ Ukraine would have had to amend its constitution to remove the clause committing Ukraine to NATO membership, add Ukraine’s commitment to permanent neutrality; and make Russian an official language of Ukraine.
5/ The Ukrainian Armed Forces were to be capped at 85,000 and restricted to 342 tanks, 519 artillery pieces, and missiles with ranges under 40 kilometers.
The provision to Ukraine of any foreign weapons including missiles of any type, armed forces, and formations was to be banned.
6/ The US, the UK, China, France, and Russia were to guarantee Ukraine’s neutrality, but all parties were to have to agree on a response to any violation, giving Russia a veto over any action.
7/ The guarantors were to commit to ending permanently all bilateral security agreements with Ukraine including those regarding the provision of military aid.
WTF ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FARCE.
Russia signed the Charter for European Security in 1999, while Putin was PM, confirming Ukraine's right to join NATO and that Russia would not claim any "sphere of influence".

IT ONLY TAKES I GOVERNMENT TO TABLE THE RESOLUTION.
THEN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW OF RUSSIA'S FRAUD.
IT WILL BE PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
NO STATE IS GOING TO VOTE TO VIOLATE THE UN CHARTER,
OR GIVE A TERRORIST STATE POWER OVER ITSELF AND THE ONLY ORGANISATION WHICH CAN PROTECT IT.
If it wasn't so dangerous it would be comical!! I'm astonished with the ridiculousness of these 'peace talks' - without even touching upon Trump's plan to rob Ukraine of its natural resources!! Ukraine is stuck between 2 mad narcissistic rulers...FFS!!
Can someone please explain why the people negotiating with Ukraine are the Treasury Secretary and the Special Envoy to the Middle East / real estate guy? I'm not a diplomat, but wouldn't you want people with long experience with Russia/Ukraine/foreign diplomacy?
Are they dealing with people formed in Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar, Yiddish, Polish, German and some English as a Foreign Language using only English as a mother tongue? Perhaps not. Hopefully not, for that pratice has been tested, no?

Tearing down institutions is easier than shoring them up, ruining lives is easier than compromise, and scorn is easier than empathy.
Lazy Lazy MFs!
