Why would Ukraine, after being invaded & fighting for 3 yrs, need pressure to accept peace? Only if this peace is unjust/a surrender. I'll be guided by them. They were the ones who were attacked. Their cities were turned to dust. Only when it's good enough for them, is it good enough for me.

Politicians have a tragic lack of ambition to actually change the economy to one that takes care of ordinary people. The crumbling welfare state & visible inequality is being exploited by the far right to present migrants as a scapegoat. They act like they want it to get worse. #r4today

Great apology too! He sounds very “sorry”.

I would have liked to watch but I no longer have an Instagram account since its owner decided to stop being interested in facts.

It's worse than that. They don't care whether Putin respects the deal or not in respect of what would be left of Ukraine, providing he didn't interfere with US mineral extraction.

Well, of course the basic overall outcome of the meeting would have been even worse if Zelensky had let it all happen and had then signed a minerals deal.

Zelenky stood in front of the American government, in the seat of our democracy, and thanked our entire nation. Every farmer, teacher, engineer, nurse, and cop. Thanked us on behalf of his entire country. youtu.be/7gjwlCe5T6M?...

You can’t be serious. What deal could be made with this Putin poodle?
