Ukraine and European leaders agreed on Saturday to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire from 12 May with the backing of US president Donald Trump, threatening president Vladimir Putin with new “massive” sanctions if he failed to comply.

The announcement was made by the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Ukraine after a meeting in Kyiv, during which they held a phone call with Trump.

Why?

Absolutely divorced from reality. They themselves put about every sanction inmaginable on Russia already, and Russia not only withstood them, but also advanced their economy tremedously in last few years. This statement is confiramtion that the rulers of Europe are either batshit insane and should be removed from their offices immediately, or a confirmation they play at some cynical political game at the expense of their constituents and should be removed from their offices immediately.

Advanced their economy tremendously? They have 21% interest rates, capital controls to boost the currency, a labour shortage and an economy that likely cant be decoupled from the war in an anyway quick fashion.

Come out of it.

Yes Europe should be removed from office. Christ above is this the level we are already at, where are you from?
