Anything beyond this sentence?Substantial progress in talks apparently
Anything beyond this sentence?Substantial progress in talks apparently
The Guardian:Anything beyond this sentence?
Don't Ukraine want them to leave all of it's borders though? If they're not changing that position I'm not too sure they'll really be much closer.The Guardian:
Delegates from both sides of peace talks say there has been progress
Delegates from both sides of peace talks have sounded positive, ahead of more negotiations in the next few days.
Ukrainian negotiator and presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said talks had become more constructive.
“We will not concede in principle on any positions. Russia now understands this. Russia is already beginning to talk constructively. I think that we will achieve some results literally in a matter of days,” he said in a video posted online.
Leonid Slutsky, a Russian delegate said there had been significant progress and they hoped to soon arrive at a “joint position”, Reuters reports.
The state-owned RIA news agency said he was comparing the state of talks now with those when they first started, saying there had been “substantial progress”.
This comes a day after the French and German presidents, Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz said Vladimir Putin did not show a willingness to end the war during a call on Saturday.
Isn't Serbia due to join the EU in 2025?
Yeah, it’s safe to say that NATO aren’t particularly popular in Serbia, to put it lightly.
Cant see this happening.Isn't Serbia due to join the EU in 2025?
Believe all their Tennis players have to be fully vaxxed before joining.Isn't Serbia due to join the EU in 2025?

Yes I cannot imagine Ukraine offering territorial concessions. But this is all the information I could find so your guess is as good as mine.Don't Ukraine want them to leave all of it's borders though? If they're not changing that position I'm not too sure they'll really be much closer.
Had to google to check that wasn't the football manager Slutsky.
I think Putin is above 50% in support from Serbians.Serbia has its fair bit of pro-Russian sentiment but I think there was also a massive gathering in support of Ukraine a week or so ago after 1000 or so idiots made it seem like the whole country loves Putin.
From that clip, it's hard to say how many people there are exactly but I wouldn't be so quick to judge. As the US well knows, there's plenty of idiots in any country and I am not sure you'd see less of them if something like this was organised in the South.

Saying that you'll not concede "in principle" make it sounds like you're about to concede something.The Guardian:

So I presume you are from Serbia. I personally find it hard to get a good grip on how pro-Russia Serbia is but I definitely think it is exaggerated.fecking hell. We have not had military service for more than 15 years and hardly have a military.
There might be 10 15 20 mercenaries from here joining Russia (and that announcement further up the page is the first I have heard of this) but it is frankly tiring to see us always being viewed as "little Russia" when most people here oppose the conflict and want to join the EU
Yes I am and yes, it is exaggerated. There is a section of the population that do support Russia in this, but this is a vast minority.So I presume you are from Serbia. I personally find it hard to get a good grip on how pro-Russia Serbia is but I definitely think it is exaggerated.
Sounds like that's your view as well.

No.Isn't Serbia due to join the EU in 2025?
Trump has to be by far the dimmest President that Americans have ever had. He has the attention span of a goldfish, the emotional age of a 5 year-old, and I doubt he even understands the meaning of many of the words in any document given to himwow this is one of the most cringeworthy answers of him ever and that says a lot
The worst thing is if a deal gets made with some regions going to Russia then many will have died for nothing. Both sides would probably have taken that for some time but Putin has to bomb innocents to strengthen his hand and get as much as possible.The Guardian:

What was his answer?I remember after the Crimea annexation, Putin went on a TV show where an old lady called in asking why he hasn't taken Alaska back yet.
I don't think Putin would accept anything less in a negociation at this moment.The worst thing is if a deal gets made with some regions going to Russia then many will have died for nothing.

Fortunately, this is not how it worksSo Russia have killed an American Journalist.
Surely Biden can enter the war now.
The place would probably have been secured. And I don’t believe he is really a target for a raid.I admire the bravery and symbolism, but it makes for uneasy viewing seeing him walk about in the open like that
hmmmm.I have zero time for Biden, but I’m getting sick and tired of this constant “we must do more” line that gets thrown at him.
What exactly Do people want him and NATO to do? WW3 will likely end with nuclear strikes across the globe. WW3 will affect hundreds of millions of people.
A NATO intervention at this stage is likely to end the world as we know it. Why can’t people grasp this fact?
Yup. There’s a reason countries want to continue on a path to Westernisation and look to the EU and NATO for their prosperity and security. If Russia had anything to offer, countries would look to join their racket, sorry I mean trade and security groups.
It's only a solid point if you ignore geopolitics and the fact that historically the largest nations have areas of influences where other large nations don't really step.
This shows how utterly absurd it is to argue on behalf of Putin's view on this topic, instead of the view that states can be free to chart their own paths.
Truman wasn't that bright but had lots more self awareness and humility.Trump has to be by far the dimmest President that Americans have ever had.

It's a good point. I was never using Twitter much before this war but it has become essential for me during it. Educational as well! I learned that there is a word called "westplaining" being used. Think it's fantastic. Like "mansplaining" when a man tries to explain shit to other genders in a very patronizing way. Westplaining is when I read this thread and see points like those you quoted and then get a westerner coming in speaking about geopolitics, belittling any right and aspiration to join the EU and NATO. You can, of course, also speak in hindsight about how it was a mistake to let those who already join, join. Like what is sovereignty even? As if we should feel guilty, or at least, get real and whatnot.
