There were 8 years of diplomacy. There was maybe 1 year of intense diplomacy before the invasion on the 24th of February? Don't listen to Russian disinformation

- thriftwy 4y agoI don't remember any "intense diplomacy" other than more threats of sanctions, more public humiliation of Russia, no compromise on any question being discussed. In 8 years I remember Ukraine botching its obligations on Minsk agreements and Steinmeier formula. With such strength of diplomacy, no wonder it didn't work.
- nradov 4y agoWhat sort of compromise would you suggest? How much territory should Ukraine cede to Russia this year? And how much more next year when Russia manufacturers some new fake complaint?
- thriftwy 4y agoMaybe none. Is "NATO" a territory of Ukraine? Is "no limiting of Russian language usage" a territory of Ukraine? How about "not overthrowing legitimately elected president, twice"?
- nradov 4y agoSo are you claiming that Russia should be allowed to veto internal Ukrainian political decisions, or prevent them from voluntarily joining other alliances? Wouldn't it be better to just keep killing Russian soldiers until they run out and retreat?
- thriftwy 4y agoWell they are trying that now. It looks like the tide of war is not on their side at the moment. And yeah, you should've got by now that the position of your neihbours is the most important factor in the policy of most, if not all, countries.
