U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the United States and its allies should not support a cease-fire or peace talks to end the war in Ukraine until Kyiv gains strength and can negotiate on its own terms. Blinken said in Finland on Friday that heeding calls from Russia and others for negotiations now would result in a false “Potemkin peace” that wouldn’t secure Ukraine’s sovereignty and or enhance European security. He argued that a cease-fire allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin “to consolidate control over the territory he has seized, and rest, rearm, and re-attack" would not bring "a just and lasting peace.” Kyiv has given confusing signals about whether a counteroffensive is coming or already underway.
“We believe the prerequisite for meaningful diplomacy and real peace is a stronger Ukraine, capable of deterring and defending against any future aggression,” Blinken said in a speech in Finland, which recently became NATO’s newest member and shares a long border with Russia.
What’s more interesting is how it seems all the home grown, American establishment sycophants think backing a coup attempt against Ukraine’s democratically elected president (Yanukovych) doesn’t count, when you tell them the US had a hand in starting the conflict.
Russia clearly doesn’t. In fact they were the ones who started it
It was Ukraine that violated the Minsk Accords not Russia
There’s little point in arguing with people who think history began yesterday.
Ukraine started the war in 2014 by shelling civilians in the donnbass
