Another issue is, if he abandons Ukraine and the minerals then that puts Greenland squarely back in his sights again.

Apparently it has not stopped.

Turns out those mines in the Donbass are not that profitable

Large explosion at Russian ammunition depot east of Moscow

Russian military authorities say the blast in a warehouse is due to a fire.

If it was a Ukrainian missile strike, then good for them.

Ukraine may have to give up land for peace - Kyiv Mayor Klitschko

Vitaliy Klitschko tells the BBC that although unfair, it could be a temporary solution to end the fighting.

www.bbc.co.uk

These arguments for me are ridiculous because it assumes that Putin won't just invade again under some other pre-text.

2008 Invasion of Georgia
2014 Invasion of Ukraine in Crimea
2022 Invasion of Ukraine as a whole.

That also doesn't include supporting violent separatist movements in other countries too.

There is absolutely no point proceeding with any peace deal unless Ukraine has some kind of strong guarantee that Russia won't just come back. I guess in an ideal scenario, membership of NATO and the EU to force Europe to defend it.

 

[Ddanno]

Full NATO membership and support (sans the US, because that's gone to ****) seems like the only route for Ukraine outside of pure attrition over another 3+ years.

(I am well aware of my ignorance in this matter, just providing a point of view)

7D chess you european commie peasant.

Everyone has been saying this and now he's finally released.

Only because he spoke to Zelenskyy today, without any attack dogs to get in his ear.
He'll reverse track again when he gets home and Putin, Vance or MTG have a chat

No no no, it's 4D chess. He's a genius, not a moron who is swayed by whoever he last spoke to.

Putin announces three-day Ukraine ceasefire from 8 May

The ceasefire will run until 11 May, the Russian president said.

www.bbc.com

I'm getting a sense of deja vu

 

[General Melchett]

I thought ceasefires were normally agreed bilaterally. Putin is just unilaterally dictating when they should happen and then putting the onus on Ukraine to dance to his tune.

 

[McTallshort]

Yeah Ukraine haven't agreed to anything

 

[AlRums]

Yeah Ukraine haven't agreed to anything

Seeing as the reason is to celebrate WWII victory, it smacks a little bit of self congratulation and therefore Ukraine should ignore it.
