Getting Ukraine to agree to a ceasefire was the easy part.

Making Russia keep it’s promises though, that’s the trick.

@gimulnautti they won't, the important thing is aid and intel are both back up

@NeonPurpleStar We could be in for a Chamberlain moment coming up with Rubio very soon.

@gimulnautti practically it's just a continuation of aid and intel, russia already declined

@NeonPurpleStar If we look at the actions not the words, Ukraine now has exactly what it had before:

It wants peace, and US is delivering the aid signed by the previous president.

@gimulnautti yes, that is why this meeting was a complete win for ukraine

it presented a ceasefire proposal in exchange for intel and military aid to be turned back on from the united states, and the proposal was immediately rejected by russia, effectively making russia the ones who don't want peace even from the perspective of the usa (who were the only goverment supporting the idea that russia "wants peace")

@NeonPurpleStar A great first step. But ending wars often takes a long time, so positively hoping the next step not being 6 months or years away from now.

@gimulnautti macron is already gathering various countries (today i think?) to discuss peace plans, quite literally excluding the united states from this conference

@NeonPurpleStar which is extremely important, because Europe’s efforts to stay out of this conflict since 2014 have led to Russia violating every agreement between them and Ukraine so far.

The only solution is that they won’t have the guts to go at it again, and Russia is pretty damn mad.

Ukraine needs to be built up like a steel porcupine, in the words of Ursula van der Layen.

@NeonPurpleStar I’ll believe this over when Putin is dead and Russia is not meddling in Ukrainian politics and sending in little green men.. in 2035.

@NeonPurpleStar If we follow standard Russian operating procedure, there will be massive information warfare, meddling in politics and blaming Ukraine for breaking the ceasefire.

Now that they have MAGA to spread their word for them, they might be feeling pretty confident about that.

@gimulnautti

at the moment, i am just very, very pleased that eu+uk agree on big defence investment and to move away from usa produced systems

also, all the progressive people need to delete their facebook and whatever else they have, because if the hateful far right does not have an enemy to antagonise, they will get bored and leave social media themselves
