| Zkuq said: To be honest, I don't think Europe is even trying to get Russia to agree to a ceasefire. If it did, the language used wouldn't be so strong. Russia simply can't accept a ceasefire when pressured like this. If Europe wanted results, there wouldn't be such public pressure. This is probably a play to either get more sanctions or the favour of Trump by making Russia look bad. |
No I get that, I'm pretty sure everyone with a brain knew Russia would disagree with the ceasefire.
My issue is where is the response? Europe promised big bad consequences if Russia rejected the ceasefire, they did, nothing has happened, it's quite sad that they didn't already have a response prepared and instead now are "talking" about a response, what should have happened was immediate further sanctions and multiple countries delivering huge military packages but nothing.
We can see clearly that Russia is rejecting the ceasefire (AGAIN) but Europe is letting the narrative slip away, again, Trump is of course to blame because he immediately caved and said "Okay, Putin rejected the ceasefire, that's fine, Ukraine better show up to talks!" and Europe went along with it and said "Okay, Putin rejected the ceasefire, lets see how talks go later this week" Lol.
Once again Russia delays things and Europe's response gets delayed.
Ukraine has no choice but to entertain these (obviously going to be) bullshit peace negotiations because Europe can't back their own words up and Ukraine still desperately needs to placate America, but once these peace talks fail, America will once again blame Ukraine I bet. So I see Zelenskyy's demand that Putin shows up as a play to try to avoid that.
