Putler will never get Donbas on a silver plate. That would be Ukraine’s end. Maybe Petro can replace Zelensky and kick more ass by also bringing back General Zaluzhny. The best solution i see at the moment.
I think I get it. Bring back a president who did nothing in preparing us for war, despite being at war since 2014 and a general that lost the counter offensive that could have cleared the orcs out of Ukraine. All the excuses in world will not excuse such failures.
What?! How prepare a non-existing army for a war while it was already rolling??? Petro created the AFU, he pushed back the invaders so much that Europe’s pro-Putler asslickers forced Ukraine into that foul Minsk agreement. When Zaluzhny was in charge Ukraine was not allowed to strike ruSSia and Flamingos were not available either.
Wow every excuse. I’m looking at results. Those two don’t impress me
Surprise? Not!
3 out of the 5 in the meeting were businessmen not diplomats, so what did they expect. Out of the 5 hours expelling hot air, I doubt Ukraine got more than 30 minutes. The rest of the meeting would be how they can enrich themselves.
