Russia Today tweeted this hours before the full scale invasion began. For those who still don’t get it and are calling for “negotiations” with russia. They always lie!

2/ Starting with Budapest memorandum, where russia agreed to protect Ukrianian sovereignty, and ending with hundreds of direct lies from Kremlin, such as “we are not going to attack Ukraine.” They always lie!

Recently I taught a Negotiation course at American University Kyiv. For the final exam, I have asked Ukrainian student to answer the following question about the potential "negotiations" between Ukraine and russia.
1/n Image
2/ “There have been many talks about potential negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, especially once Ukraine receives significant offensive success. If you were advising the Ukrainian President, what would be your plan for approaching such negotiations with Putin?”
3/ Here are some common themes, so you would understand how typical Ukrainian students think:

- Ukraine should not negotiate with Putin at all, because there is no way to credibly believe in anything he says.

Why Ukraine didn’t sign a “peace agreement” with russia in 2022?

The New York Times published the text of a draft peace agreement that Ukrainian and russian delegations developed in 2022. In the end, the agreement wasn’t signed.

Here are its main points:

2/ russia wanted to keep Crimea, but the fate of other territories was proposed to be decided at a personal meeting between Zelensky and Putin.
3/ russia asked for the lifting of Ukrainian sanctions, which have been in place since 2014, and to call for the same step by Western partners.

Putin's time is running out.

Putin’s speech today was very weak. He confirmed what we knew all this time: russia’s invasion of Ukraine was driven by one goal - imperialistic ambitions to conquer Ukraine.

2/ It was not to stop “Nazis" or to prevent NATO expansion, as some brainwashed idiots continue to repeat. It was to conquer Ukraine. But since russia was not able to achieve its objective, now they want four regions of Ukraine - Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia.
3/ Why now? Because things are going badly for russia. Russia was not able to achieve any meaningful advances in Kharkiv, while losing tens of thousands of soldiers. New US and European sanctions are hurting russian banks and the Ruble.

The team of the Ukrainian independent media needs your support — share this information!

Recently, they published a study titled "Roller Coaster. The forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it."

2/ Base on their analysis they created a list of organizations and individuals in the USA opposing support for Ukraine.
3/ The brainwashed russian puppets were not happy. Senator J.D. Vance and Congressman Matt Gaetz wrote a letter to Antony Blinken demanding information about the Ukrainian NGO by June 28.

the ban on the transfer of American weapons to Azov brigade, which had been in effect since 2017. This is an important defeat of russian propaganda and the western journalists who were spreading it.
1/n Image
2/ Azov was formed in response to russia's invasions of Crimea and Donbas in 2014. Azov began as a militia group made up of football fans, who pushed the russian occupiers out of Mariupol.
3/ In response, Moscow began an initiative to slander Azov as “𝐍𝐞𝐨 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐬” as an effective method to reduce international support for Ukraine. Often using symbols taken out of context and cheap photoshops to “prove” their false narratives.

Anyone who says that NATO provoked russia to attack Ukraine is either stupid, brainwashed or simply doesn’t know the history.

1/n Image
2/ Until 2013, only about 20-30% of Ukrainians (depending on the poll) were in favor of joining NATO. After the annexation of Crimea, that number went up to more than 50%. And now, after the full scale invasion, close to 90% of Ukrainians say that they want Ukraine to join NATO.
3/ Also, it was russian aggression that forced Sweden and Finland to join NATO. It is russian aggression that has prompted other countries to join NATO not “NATO’s expansion” forcing russia to attack the neighboring countries.
