    I know this is hard to understand for a Russian bot, but Ukraine is a sovereign nation.
    They will start peace talks if and when they want to.
    Negotiations will not be between Washington and Moscow, and even if talks like this would take place (e.g. under a new Trump administration), Ukraine is free to ignore them.

    The only thing the west gets to decide is whether they keep sending weapons and how many.

      Yes Ukraine is free to ignore them. The western coalition funding Ukraine’s war effort is also free to stop doing so. I’m not saying this to express that I wish Ukraine to be pressured to settle, but instead to highlight that Ukraine is not a self-reliant actor in this conflict.

      Here, in the US, people have difficulty accepting that America doesn’t have direct influence on all other nations.

      Wasn’t Ukraine willing to have peace talks last year until our good pal Boris Johnson came in and wrecked it all?

        I believe the peace talks fell apart once they discovered evidence of all the rape and murder committed by the russians.

      Do you know anything about Ukraine or what Zelensky campaigned on for his election campaign? Do you know what Ukranians want? Are you Ukrainian?

      I know it’s hard for a NAFO bot to understand, but Ukraine lost its sovereignty when US overthrew the democratically elected government in a violent coup.
