- ttyprintk 2y agoThe minerals in Ukraine was a weird bolt-on to a ceasefire. Couldn’t the Ukrainian parliament negotiate however it wanted for the right to mine currently-occupied territory? Maybe they’ll pay you to dig a mine under a Russian base. If Zelenskyy is a dictator, why does his attendance at peace talks depend on forcing him to try something extra-constitutional that could taint the legality of the paperwork?
