3/4. Maria Lvova-Belova’s charges will have the biggest impact.

That is because all of these charges are symbolic in reality. The fact that charges and accountability has been extended to a relatively low level politician and bureaucrat is critically important.

4/4. The UN and the UNSC are for good or for worse, toothless and the institutions have been designed to fail in some respects.

On Russian Telegram: russians are openly celebrating statements from trump in the past few days. This is an indictment on the whole of the USA, now allies with russia.

👉 Trump said that it is easier to deal with Russia than with Ukraine on issues of peaceful settlement.

👉 Ukraine has no trump cards in the negotiations, the US President said at a press conference in the White House. (because rape, murder and genocide of Ukrainians doesn’t matter to him?)
