While some still chase “dialogue” with a man who burns cities and kidnaps children, Kaja Kallas (EU foreign policy chief), Giorgia Meloni (Italian PM), Mette Frederiksen (Danish PM), Ursula von der Leyen (European Commission President), Maia Sandu (Moldovan President), Sanna Marin (former Finnish PM), Ingrida Šimonytė (former Lithuanian PM) and Roberta Metsola (European Parliament President) keep saying the quiet part out loud: Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine is the victim. Peace comes through strength, not appeasement.
These are not opportunists like Trump and Kushner. They are women with integrity.
If Europe entered open war with Russia, expanded wartime sedition rules (as used in both World Wars) could easily cover huge volumes of today’s online posts and political statements, especially those questioning the threat, opposing aid, calling for negotiations, or amplifying narratives that demoralise public resolve. Historically, such speech was treated as undermining the war effort even without direct material aid to the enemy. Modern free-speech protections are far stronger, but they have been narrowed before in major conflicts.

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has laid out a five-point plan for peace in Ukraine:
1. Integrate Ukraine into NATO’s missile, air and drone defences and send all Patriots to Kyiv
2. Unfreeze Russian assets and give them to Ukraine
3. Enforce more sanctions on Russia and ban all Russian fossil fuel supplies to Europe
4. Move the Coalition of the Willing into Ukraine to defend rear areas and critical infrastructure
5. Develop ironclad security guarantees and expel countries from the Coalition that aren’t willing to fight Russia if a ceasefire breaks down
@m_jones_1797@Rachelle_Hulme Betraying ones country by advocating exposing them to extreme political systems could also be interpreted in this way. It might be a stretch, or maybe it isn'
Russia really shouldn't want to wake Europe up. Their hubris has made them believe their own narrative. If Ukraine is an abcess, Russia is the diseased limb and there's only one solution when it's so gangrenous.

As they say in Russia, appetite grows while eating.
Russia’s top negotiator Medinsky says in Abu Dhabi that Moscow’s demands extend to all of Europe, far beyond Ukraine.
“The security system in Europe works very badly. The entire organism is sick. Ukraine is just an abscess that burst. The organism must be cured as a whole, a band-aid will not be enough.”
Dr Putin to the rescue of poor sick Europe…
The more Trump seeks to mollify Putin, the more megalomaniac the Russian demands become.
