Wow, Ukraine needs equipment to fight off an aggressor with a population almost 4 times bigger than its own. What a thought!

I also find it interesting that you want to have 'peace talks' with a country that not only invaded without provocation, but also continues to rape and torture people, among other war crimes they have, are and undoubtedly will continue to commit.

invaded without provocation

LOL

Here's two little things that happened literally just days before Russia decided to invade:

Ceasefire violations against the DPR and LPR:

Zelensky threatening to pull out of the non-proliferation treaty and acquire nuclear weapons: https://uawire.org/zelensky-ukraine-may-reconsider-its-nuclear-status

Way to conveniently forget the hostile takeover of Crimea.

Also, something happened inside of Ukraine's borders is now provocation... For Russia to invade? Conveniently having amassed 150k troops along Ukraine's border, while the world has been publicly discussing their imminent invasion for months?

Russia decided to invade months earlier.

Just how much are they paying you, huh?

Ah yes, the hostile takeover that happened after a popular referendum and saw no resistance from the local population, very much violent, unlike Ukraine shelling Donbass for years of course, that was just defensive peacekeeping to maintain democracy in Europe!

Also, something happened inside of Ukraine’s borders is now provocation… For Russia to invade?

Yes, because as it turns out it wasn't inside Ukraine's borders, it was a violation of the DPR/LPR's borders since Ukraine backstabbed everyone and decided to rip Minsk 2 apart :^)
