Peace talks🧵/1 #Russia saying it doesn’t mind #Ukraine joining the #EU is utterly offensive. RF continues to think itself more sovereign than other states
The key point from #Ukraine: all negotiations possible ONLY after total deoccupation of #Ukraine. So #Russia soldiers go home and then we talk /2
Just to make it clear to those in doubt: #Ukraine is a non-nuclear country. There are no foreign military bases in Ukraine. Ukraine is not a member of any military alliance /3
Couple things I don’t get: 1) why should #Ukraine consider making concessions to #Russia 2) why is everyone so focused on @NATO inaction and not calling on @UN? /1
Ukraine will not be making concessions for the sake global peace and security. /2
Should #Ukraine give in to #putin crazy fantasies, all dictators will get inspired to start wars of aggression. Ukraine won’t be responsible for this /3
Reportedly death squads follow #Russia military convoys with order to kill deserters and all soldiers refusing to execute orders. Putin clearly gets his inspiration from Stalin in WW2 and mixes in a bit of Hitler. #StopPutler
This will now be a 🧵/2: #Russia sends draftees and ‘alternates’ (communal service workers) to #Ukraine. Their job is to distract Ukrainian military as the professional army advances. Boys turned into cannon fodder -this is what it really is
