Lmfao, Russia has no interest in diplomacy, they illegal invaded Crimea and annexed it, and the west did nothing.
Big surprise they then invaded ALL of Ukraine, how can you possibly think diplomacy is going to work?
Cynical war indeed, that Russia started as a "special military exercise" and has consistently lied about to their people and abroad.
You're delusional if you think Russia is coming to any diplomatic agreements in good faith.
I am not justifying Russia's unjustifiable attack on Ukraine; I firmly believe they should withdraw and end the conflict. However, it’s important to recognize that Russia perceives itself as fighting a defensive war, much like the perspective you’ve expressed.
While we can debate the motives on both sides endlessly, the reality remains that innocent people are dying—not just soldiers but civilians, including the elderly and children, who are succumbing to preventable causes due to a lack of basic necessities. These are unnecessary and tragic losses a sin in the eyes of the lord.
It’s deeply troubling that such suffering continues because two powers cannot reach an agreement—one striving to reclaim a Soviet-era vision, and the other pursuing profit-driven interests. This cycle of violence and disregard for human life is a tragedy that must not be normalized.
