Kyiv has been offered a “Kremlin peace plan” under the guise of negotiations. The US and Russia have reportedly prepared a peace plan for Ukraine that would involve Kyiv meeting the Kremlin’s maximalist demands, says Christopher Miller, a correspondent for the Financial Times.
At the same time, Reuters sources report that the US indicated to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Kyiv should accept Washington-prepared frameworks for ending the war with Russia. It remains unclear what security guarantees would be given for Kyiv, as there is no evidence that the Kremlin has abandoned its imperial ambitions.
Earlier, Axios wrote that Washington and Moscow were discussing a new peace plan to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Fundamentally unserious "just admit defeat" type of offering. The real signal is that the US is still a painfully unreliable ally.

The US is a shit stain on the world stage.

The same type of plan the west and in fact China and Russia back up for palestinians. Both Ukraine and Palestine should not give up a single inch of land to the occupiers and desfinitely not surrended armed resistance

And yet, for being so painfully unreliable, especially with the ruling parties flip-flopping back and forth so much, USA aid is still sought after. 🙄
I imagine as Zelensky has said so many times before, Ukraine won't cede shit. Hopefully, he tells them both to go kick rocks.

Why wouldn't Ukraine take anything the US is willing to give? Worst case scenario, they don't give anything and you're in the same place you started.

The United States is still an ally to Ukraine. Our mistake of a President is a criminal and an ally to no one but himself. Even that is a stretch.

That explains a lot. Basically "reward the aggressor" and "prevent any possibility for future armed resistance"

And then wait for them to do it again in about 10 years to grab for even more. It's not a peace plan, it's surrender.

Still, I would gladly go to war with all EU if needed, against Russia or whoever, just so the future generations can sit on their computers while dealing with online idiots like yourself.

No he does not. You need well formulated questions if you want good answers in a poll. If you asked "would you prefer we give up fortified front line territory and forcibly halved our army in exchange for ceasefire?" you would not get that percentage.
They are sick and tired of this war, no question about that. But this war is existential. Russia does not acknowledge Ukrainian as a real language and culture. Everyone knows Russia would attack again. Ukraine has no choice but to defend themselves.

Those 69% of Ukranians who want to end the war via negotiation - are they Russian bots as well?
kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 24 pts · 257d
The fact that they want the war to end doesn't mean they want to surrender.
Your cherry picked data means nothing, like your opinion.

lysol@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 257d
These polls are so bad. It's like asking "would you like peace?". Ukranians know perfectly well what would happen to them and their relatives if they lost the war. Fighting a war SUCKS but it was not their choice to go to war. It was not their choice to get terror-bombed every single night.
Ferrous@lemmy.ml · -15 pts · 257d
It's actually not like that at all. It's actually pretty simple:
mycatscool@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 257d
You know you are free to go join the Russian army and go kill innocent families and kidnap children for Russia's war if you are so enthusiastic about sucking Putin's dick right?
Maybe you can cede your home and all your possessions to Putin? You realize that is what you are defending right?
Ferrous@lemmy.ml · -10 pts · 257d
Nope, it's actually a simple question:
Do you think the Ukrainian common people should be the primary agents in determining whether or not to continue combat?
mycatscool@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 257d
No shit people don't wanna die in a war.
The alternative is fascists rule the world. It sucks but the shittiest people in the world have the most power in the world.
That only changes if people fight which is why it is important that the world stand with Ukraine against Putin and the fascists of this world.
Ferrous@lemmy.ml · -11 pts · 257d
And there's the rub. You can't just stick your fingers in your ears when Ukrainians are aiming to end combat and pursue negotiations, and then turn around and say you are "standing with Ukraine".
Put simply: to stand with Ukraine means to affirm the hopes and agency of common Ukrainians - which is definitively not what you're doing.
Consider this thought experiment:
In 5 years, supposing the grueling combat has continued, and 95% of Ukrainians definitively and undoubtedly wish to end combat, is it really "standing with Ukraine" if you reject this number and insist they continue to fight to "save the world from fascism" while you yourself have not enlisted?

Creating photos that will actually pass real scrutiny hasn't happened yet. That's why. Can it fool the general populace who would look at it for no more than 1 second? Sure. But that's a low bar.
smeenz@lemmy.nz · 1 pts · 255d
Trump has already released all sorts of fake photos, and as with his words, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, the purpose is only to influence or fool the target audience for just long enough for them to dismiss reality.
