    It will be hard to negotiate without Europe in the room, when Ukraine knows that they can count on increasing support from Europe no matter how the negotiations go. The confusion around how much support Europe will give makes it impossible for the negotiations to reach any reasonable conclusion.

      Yeah, maybe it’s just us stone-age internet peeps that still give a fuckin lick about privacy? It just sounds like it’s gearing up to be Russia/US on one side of the negotiating table and Europe/ukraine on the other.

    It’s hard not to see exactly what the US under Trump is doing with these kinds of hostile actions lately. They’re trying to create a situation where Europe and/or others can only reasonably respond back with actions they can brand as hostile in return (That, or bend the knee), so they can play the victim and weaponize that as propaganda to undermine the peaceful and friendly relationships between the common people, a foundation of keeping large scale peace since WW2. Disgusting and utterly sinister behavior. We must resist being played like that and fight back against that urge while remaining defiant of this circus.

    If Europe is not part of the talks, then Europe should not supply any more military support to Ukraine and let US fund everything.

      Considering this is the result of Russia influence on us election, Europe should actually double down and fuck raw Putin in the ass
