Said here but not highlighted enough:
- Donbas contains Ukraine's own best security guarantee / fortifications.
- Russia is saying it will stop helping Iran if US stops helping Ukraine

Not mentioned here:
- Ukraine is now alleged to be completely dominating in terms of lives lost by either side.
- The Iran war is also an illegal one, of aggression.

Ukraine: US tied guarantees to Donbas withdrawal — Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has said the United States linked future security guarantees to Kyiv's withdrawal from the Donbas region. The comments have gone down well in Russia, which is stepping up its offensive.

@j2bryson
Are you saying (many) more Ukrainians die than russians? Do you have a source for that?

"Ukraine is now alleged to be completely dominating in terms of lives lost by either side"

@joosteto No, what I heard was that it is now 1,000 Russians dying per Ukrainian! But I did not read this myself, it is one of my colleagues who said he saw this statistic. Analysts are being surprised that Ukraine may win the war through attrition. Personally (with NO professional qualification, just guessing) I conjecture this is why US (really, Trump) & IL (really, Netanyahu) attacked Iran, to drive up oil prices for a desperate RU (really, Putin). #inequality lets individuals destroy states.
@j2bryson
Ah, thanks. Then it was just your phrasing that was unclear to me.
@j2bryson @joosteto My guess, Ukraine will be a power house after the war.
