Some reminders in the form of a short #thread.
1 Democratic leaders should avoid talking about "peace talks" or "peace agreements" even in the distant future, at least as long as Putin's regime, or the equivalent, is in place.
Period.

2 Let's stop lending any interest to supposed #mediation attempts. We do not need a mediator. We need to ensure #Ukraine's victory. That's all there is to it.
Western governments should stop with this desire to be deceived all the time.

3 Let's stop fussing about #securityguarantees for Ukraine. It needs a NATO+. It deserves it and @NATO would benefit from it too. All its territories must be liberated.
I do not suggest buying the sometimes-heard thesis of a guarantee on a part of the territories.

4 Let's not say: "We'll see in a few months what the state of forces will be & how much territory 🇺🇦was able to recover!"
These are the words of leaders who don't want to go all the way.
Hypocritical & indecent!
It all depends on us.
If we engage, it will recover its territories.

5 I wrote it & said it yesterday at a rally for #Ukraine: Let's not stay in the middle of the ford.
Let's not remain timid in our will to save lives.
Let's stop with the sickening bullshit about escalation, cobelligerence, red lines, future negotiations.
Let's be straightforward!

6 Let's never stop talking about mass #crimes.
They must inhabit our consciousness and that of the leaders.
These are the crimes that will continue as long as #Russia occupies a part of the territory and that must guide our action.
With absolute #evil there can be no peace—never.
