So #Putin offers us “peace” if we surrender four regions completely, including Kherson and Zaporizhe.

This is insane, since he wants #Ukraine to submit even two large cities #Russia doesn’t control.

We also have to promise not to join #NATO

This is not a peace offer, this is basically a demand for unconditional surrender. But my point is different.

Watch everybody in the coming days who say Russia wants peace. They are either idiots or russian assets.

Pls boost.

Russia has also never abided by any peace settlement. Ever.

Peace negotiations are just a pretext for a brief respite, then the military ventures resume. It's a ploy.

Ukraine will have peace when:
1. It's regained every inch of its territory including Crimea & Sevastopol. It's time that naval base ended.
2. Reparations to rebuild & secure Ukraine.
3. Putin's regime stands trial for war crimes
4. Putin's enablers in the West face consequences.

@Npars01 @mykhaylo As long as there are any politicians in the upper levels of the hierarchy in Russia who think of Russia as the big powerful Eurasian empire, they will always try to conquer and control Ukraine, Georgia, and the Baltic nations, and also a lot of other areas that used to be part of the former Soviet Union, but also former Warsaw pact states. They want a buffer zone where any enemy army can be stopped before it gets even close to Russia.

@Npars01 @mykhaylo Removing Putin and those who think like him would only be a temporary solution. Russia as it is today, as it has been for the past few centuries, must cease to exist. But so must the USA, so must China, so must all those huge states which control so much territory and/or so many people to have become a global menace.

@Npars01 @mykhaylo The reason why Russia wants to keep Crimea and much of Ukraine's East is that they want to control as much of the Black Sea as possible. The reason they want to control Georgia is that they want all of the Caucasus mountain ranges plus a bit of land to the South so they can stop any attacking army from coming through there. Those imperialistic geopolitical strategists see Russia as one giant fortress, and they want to eliminate any possible attack vectors.

A war with Russia won't be a traditional land-sea affair.

It'll be hybrid.

Financial. Technological. Bioweapons. Terrorism. Tactical subversion of ethnic minorities. Cyber.

Russia is always a century behind in its military strategy. Surprised they haven't brought back the horse cavalry.

Normally, Russia knows it's not able to beat the west on the battlefield so they infiltrate and undermine. They'd been doing that for years in Ukraine, UK, US, pretty much all around the world, and sending weapons and mercenaries to Africa and the middle east. I think Putin has been part of nearly every disruption around the world since he took office. Certainly every country that has moved to the right has his fingerprints.
