“As of today, 28 settlements are under enemy control, the depth of penetration into the territory of the Kursk region is 12 kilometers, and the front’s width is 40 kilometers” - Kursk region acting governor told Putin. Putin interrupted him and said not to mention numbers.

    Well damn, maybe Russia should stop invading a sovereign nation and commiting genocide. That would stop the war instantly, I’m sure going back to the 2012 borders would suit Ukraine just fine.

      Neither russia or the west seem to have any interested in ending this war as politicians and rulers are making big profits and gaining wealth and power.

        One option is for Russia to end its invasion.

        The other is for Ukraine to cease to exist as a country as Russia continues for the 3rd 4th 5th time to continue taking land despite any existing treaty or ceasefire agreement

        One of these is a reasonable request, the other one is not.

        Russia can continue to punch itself in the face until it sees reason. We do not expect Ukraine to sacrifice itself to Putin’s non-existent mercy.

          There are other options that would help this war to end such as the west stopping doing business with china who is refueling russia in this war or with turkey who is helping russia dodging the sanctions. Guess what? they don’t give a shit, politicians and rulers are benefiting from this war, they send peasants to die in the front, they don’t fight their wars. The west has been trading weapons with russia before the conflict the same way they are doing it now with saudi arabia or egypt.

            Chinese arms companies and banks involved in military aid are subject sanctions. That’s why China is mainly limited to supplying dual-use equipment but even that’s being reigned in. But nothing is going to stop Russia from going through 2 or 3 shell companies to get what they need, it’ll at least cost them more.

            But sure let’s double down and go off and completely crater US/China trade by trillions in hopes it’ll vaguely impact Russia instead of just directly supplying Ukraine the weapons/aid they need until Russia is ready to stop invading them.

                They aren’t going to do that because they aren’t stupid. That’s immediate global recession and nobody will care about Ukraine at that point.

                Ukraine needs weapons to defend itself because Russia keeps attacking them. People who care will give them the aid that they need. Period.

                People who don’t care will sit around on Lemmy trying to gaslight people that destroying the US and Chinese economy is a feasible option and that it will somehow help Ukraine
