The only ceasefire Ukraine will get is when they surrender.
@ClubofInfos
At this point it should be obvious that “glory to Ukraine” is the last objective of this war. An agricultural giant nation with no agriculture, and not even a sufficient energy grid to maintain the population or survive as a state. The only goal Ukraine has now is set by NATO and is to damage Russia as much as possible before they are gone, which is why their puppet regime was set up in 2014.
@DanielBritoist
Ukraine don’t have nothing. All money, technologies, weapons, amunitions are from EU/NATO.
@robmar7190
The root of all evil around the world’ from western Europe to the USA and their puppets all over the planet.
@leonidashristou9111
The fact that the Russians, like they hav done in the past are just waiting for the trapped Ukrainians in the cauldron to run out of ammo and food and just give up without having to fight did not pass Dima’s mind?!
@vecioalpin8998
Zelesnky has betrayed his own people ! what is happening right now is clear… to sell the lives of ukrainians in exchange for money to fill his own pokets.
@Will-d6l9v
The lifting of Russian oil sanctions is a clear sign Ukraine is doomed.. The political situation in the EU has changed and the people don’t want to borrow more money to support Ukraine.. Russia will get what it wants by making it too expensive for Ukraine to continue the fight.
@andyknolls8735
Ukraine will honor no ceasefire, by their own law, they cannot. Most people never even talk about the fact that Ukraine made it illegal to seek any terms of peace if any part of their nation is occupied. Ukraines idea of any type of peace talk is, “Return all of our territory including Crimea, then we can talk” NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS, NO ONE AT ALL.
Ukraine has broken so many ceasefires, the word is meaningless when in the same paragraph as Ukraine.

The End Game of Russia- Ukraine war; over a million dead Ukrainians, a land locked devastated shrunk Ukraine less traditional Russian, Polish ,Hungarian territories and a diaspora of millions of Ukrainians A lesson in geopolitics …Never fight others’ wars ….
@Laurelpen
If Trump truly wanted Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries he would simply issue a direct order to Zelensky and also stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine. So no, Trump doesn’t want Ukraine to stop.
@junglejarred6366
Ukraine wanted to s,pread their legs for the United snakes of the west and now finds itself with an incurable disease. If one thing is certain in this world it is the reality of power politics and no amount of delusion, ignorance, arrogance, hubris, hypocrisy and flag waiving will ever change this.
@BigallBrazil
Russia is doing to Zelenskyy exactly what the West did to President Viktor Yanukovych. Zelenskyy will flee Kyiv and never return. Russia will back an interim president. It would be foolish for Russia to stop now; it must continue until Zelenskyy and all the ministers have left the country. Russia should start targeting the ministers’ residences.
@glenndavis4452
If the Russians actually destroy the Kiev bridges, they win the war.
@johanneslo1895
Trump may tell the Ukros officially to stop attacks on refineries, but in reality of course thats theater. the Ukros are slaves proxy to US IN ORDER TO WEAKEN Russia…..Its the good cop-bad cop game….how can anyone take the US seriously?
@chriseustace9734
Without doubt the British MI6 Are heavily involved in helping Ukraine target Russian yet more oil refineries.
@robertmiranda2444
Russia please don’t offer anything to the west, just keep destroying Ukraine until the west comes to you begging and offering agreements completely in your favor.
