There was a comment from Kyslytsia on how Russians behave on such talks, and also what they themselves announced:

• demands to surrender 4 oblasts to them or they’ll be demanding 8 next time.
• talking about the war being “Russians versus Russians”.
• also the “need to remove root cause of conflict”.
• and my favourite: “no suing each other afterwards (entire delegation of theirs would stand no chance in Hague)”.
• also no reparations, but Ukraine has to pay for rebuilding of Donbass.

One has to be painfully dense to not see which side isn’t “ready for peace”, and sadly we have no shortage of such folks now.

As if Europe didn’t have one demented moron routinely threatening everyone with nukes for years now. 🌚

It’s funny in a morbid way, because to find “the root cause of conflict” Putin has to just take a look at a mirror, not look for them in Ukraine. Yet they’re very insistent that “root causes if conflict” should be removed as part of any peace agreement.

Russian civilian development (Ozon, Wildberries, all those delivery services and aggregators)

Ugh, about that. Russians had these automated post cells appearing recently (where you come up with your phone and with few taps in an app a little door opens, so you can pick up your package) and some lady posted on socials “see, that’s progress, can you see such technologies in Ukraine?”.

That post went viral in Ukraine, because we’ve had these for almost a decade now.
