    Untrue. Please avoid assumptions that don’t relate to my comments.

    The war is wrong and the quickest most humane end to it is Russia’s exit. Since it’s beginning in '14.

    It is also horrible that they prop nazis around world for their excuses. It’s hardly believable that a nazi Putin would denazify anything

      The war is wrong and the quickest most effective end to it is usa’s exit, since usa started the war in 2014.

      It is also horrible that they prop up nazis in ukraine for their war. It’s hardly believable that boris johnson would ever let zelensky come to the negotiation table.

      Which bit is untrue? What assumptions have I made? I’m not trying to make assumptions about you. I’m unpacking what you said to show that the implications are inconsistent.

      If Zelensky is right and he wants to continue the war until he regains territory lost before he came into power, then it follows that continuing a war is the right thing to do. That is inconsistent with the claim that ‘war isn’t right’. Both claims cannot be true at the same time. Perhaps you didn’t mean to say that Zelensky is right?

      Nevertheless, it’s Russia’s stated aim in this war. What does Ukraine have to lose by calling Putin’s bluff by complying with the Minsk agreement? At the very least, they win the moral high ground and can shout, ‘Aha, we told you Putin was lying; all he wanted was war all along.’ I’ll ignore for now the fact that Germany and France have admitted that they never intended for Ukraine to comply with Minsk, never mind what Russia planned.
