"Since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, cable news networks have routinely called on defense officials-turned-consultants to offer analysis and help the American public make sense of the crisis."
"Often, these analysts have used their TV time to call for greater U.S. involvement and bolder moves that could ratchet up tensions between two nuclear-armed superpowers. The networks have consistently failed to disclose these analysts’...financial ties to defense contractors..."
"The Defense Industry’s Ukraine Pundits. To explain the crisis, corporate news networks are leaning on hawkish ex-military officials — without disclosing their current defense industry ties." #UkraineWar #Russia #Ukraine #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineRussia

“The US and UK governments show no efforts or desire to achieve peaceful settlement of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine,” says Ivan Katchanovski, a Ukrainian professor of political studies at the University of Ottawa" #Ukraine #Ukraine️war 1/ jacobinmag.com/2022/05/peace-…
“Such a peace settlement was better for Ukraine than the continuation of the war, which results in significant civilian and military casualties, destruction, and negative economic impact,” says Katchanovski." 2/ #Ukraine️ #UkraineRussianWar #Russia #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar
"“The media often falsely equated proposals of a settlement with policies of appeasement of Nazi Germany,” says Katchanovski. “This made peace in Ukraine toxic, even though even a ‘bad’ peace is better than a ‘good’ war.”" 3/ #Ukraine️ #UkraineRussianWar #UkraineWar #Russia

#Zelensky reveals that 50 to 100 #Ukrainian soldiers are killed each day in Eastern #Ukraine at #RussiaUkraineWar. This means that about 1,500 to 3,000 Ukrainian soldiers are killed & 6.000-15,000 wounded each month only in Eastern #Ukraine. #Russia 1/ pravda.com.ua/news/2022/05/2…
Ukrainian military casualty numbers revealed by #Zelenskyy exclude #RussiaUkraineWar in Southern #Ukraine and likely many those killed but reported as missing in action. Various gruesome videos & photos show bodies of many #Ukrainian soldiers lying on battlefields in #Donbas. 2/
Ukrainian daily military casualty numbers reported by #Zelenskyy also exclude casualties of #Russian missile strikes in other regions of #Ukraine.There are also some 5,000 Ukrainian POWs. Human toll of #RussiaUkraineWar in #Ukraine is devastating. #UkraineRussiaWar #Russia 3/

@readthemaple "“[The war] could have been avoided and prevented,” Katchanovski explained. Specifically, an agreement in which Ukraine promised to remain a neutral country and the fulfilment of the Minsk accords could have stopped Putin’s invasion, he said." 2/
"Katchanovski suggested that before Putin’s invasion, a successful peace agreement could have allowed for Ukraine to eventually join the European Union (EU) in exchange for neutrality." 3/

#Zelenskyy says that it will take lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainians to defeat #Russia: "I have no doubt that we will win, but we must remember that the price of all this is tens of thousands of lives." #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineWar #Ukraina
strana.news/news/391787-po…
My research suggests that continuation of #RussianUkrainianWar war would likely result in tens of thousands of killed Ukrainians, while victory over #Russia is not very likely even with massive supplies of Western weapons & funding. #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineWar #Ukraina
My research-based estimate of total minimal number of #Ukrainian casualties of #UkraineRussiaWar is around 10,000 people killed already, including minimum 5,000 civilians & 5,000 military. It is derived from #Zelenskyy's military casualties number & UN civilian casualties data.

#Italy now proposes basically same peace plan that I proposed before & after start of #RussiaUkraineWar. Italy's plan:
Ceasefire
Ukraine's accession to EU & neutral status without joining NATO
#Ukraine - #Russia agreement on #Donbas & #Crimea
Peace & security treaty in Europe
Like my #Ukraine peace plan: "Rapid accession to the EU and abandonment of NATO. Italy has developed a plan to end the war in Ukraine and submitted it to the UN Secretary General. It involves the rapid entry of Ukraine into the EU but military neutrality" strana.news/news/391716-it…
I proposed the same deal in my @CBCNews interview: "Ukraine could be offered EU membership as part of a peace deal where it agrees to renounce NATO membership and declares itself neutral," said Katchanovski."
