Now it's just butchery on an industrial scale. How nice.
- petre 3y agoThese are "negotiations" held in bad faith like the Minsk agreements. They're meant to buy time for Russia to build up another invasion force.
- dmpk2k 3y agoThe Minsk agreements were highly favourable to the Russians, since they were basically forced on the Ukrainians. That’s why Poroshenko was going around saying Ukraine would never abide by them. Claiming the opposite is just muddying the waters. Up is down in wartime, I suppose.
