Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, promised on Wednesday that there would be no talks between the two countries until Ukraine is completely defeated.

“The empty chatter of intermediaries that no one had appointed about the wonderful peace is over,” he said on Telegram. “There will be no more negotiations until the complete defeat of the enemy.”

So this sucks. Ukraine just shot itself in the foot really badly and no one in the west cares. They’d rather see Ukraine destroy itself in the pursuit of destroying Russia rather than surviving the war with realistic peace negotiations. Ukraine was so damn close but now I don’t think it’s possible. Unless what Medvedev says doesn't affect anything and is just all talk.

I also didn’t know that India was getting involved in fostering peace but we’ll see how that goes. The article has not said anything about how China is thinking of handling this considering they were on the peace talks train since the beginning, I can’t imagine they’re too thrilled about this development…

I need to know who the 159 are 😩

I really hope they (airports) start switching to other planes because this is just too much. I never want to fly ever again lol

Really happy this is happening, I also saw on Portuguese news that’s there’s also something going on with Vietnam? Either the DPRK is increasing diplomacy or Russia, all in all this is a nice improvement. I know Putin is not a communist (I don’t know if I’d even call him sympathetic, I don’t know much about him) but it’s interesting to see him willing to build these relationships, if that makes sense.

NATO leaders can feel free to join the battle themselves, by all means please do. But maybe don’t drag the rest of us with you.

Leaders used to go to war, when did that change?

They’re killing us and trying to blame Russia for it 😭

Everyday is a battle of whether I should stay or go 😩

You don’t understand, it was a Kremlin backed blood clot!

Looks like protests have erupted since this happened, with some protest signs in english, and people are getting arrested too. Does anyone know what’s going on with that?

I don’t know why but the language used in this article feels almost… dismissive. I might be overthinking it, though.

This is funnier than the whisky wars

The Axis powers coming through once again baby! An incredibly bad look, oh my god…

No because that’s so embarrassing
