    Since you are talking about unhonored agreements, you should know that if Ukraine followed the minsk agreement, there would not be any war right now. And no, I am not suggesting anything. I am just pointing out how the previous argument was fucking stupid. But since you are asking for a suggestion, I suggest Ukraine and Russia meet for peace talks mediated by a neutral country, and let both countries talk about their grievances and find a compromise. This is a historically proven method of solving conflicts. And since Ukraine is such a sovereign country, they should decide for themselves what to do, instead of letting the UK arbitrarily revert actions on a whim.

      So your argument against mine is that Ukraine didn’t respect an agreement that wouldn’t have been necessary if Russia had respected an agreement signed 20 years prior? Really?

      Russian spokesman: Recognizing the Donbas republics would not be compatible with Minsk agreement.

      Putin: I recognize the Donbas republics and the agreement no longer exists.

      You: Ukraine is at fault.

      The propaganda worked well with you I see 👍

      Off to the block list with all the tankies you go!

        What a convoluted mess you have written, and what about that habit of yours of putting things in other people’s mouths? But let me address the raised issues: Ukraine did sign the Minsk agreements, just like Russia signed the Budapest memorandum, which were not conflicting proposals. It doesn’t matter which one was signed first, but rather which one is broken first, and by which party. Russia only entered the territory of Ukraine officially in 2022, whereas the Minsk agreements have been proposed and revised since 2014 with no results, and it was confirmed that Ukraine never had intentions to fulfill any of its obligations and were using it as a cover to militarize the country further. You talk about propaganda, but it’s precisely propaganda that makes you so quick to dismiss all the undesirable information and shut down conversation that is not going your way. I’m afraid your “tankie” block list will continue to be expanded.
