30 years ago today on December 5 1994, Ukraine agreed to voluntarily disarm itself of thousands of nuclear warheads, 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and 42 strategic bombers in exchange for security assurances from the United States, Britain, and Russia.
Betrayed by all.
To those with short memories:
Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine held about 200 rounds of talks with Russia.
During this period, 20 cease-fire agreements were reached, all of which were quickly violated by Russia.
None of the 200 rounds of talks or the 20 ceasefires have prevented Putin from launching a brutal all-out invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022.
Those who argue that Ukraine should negotiate with Russia now are either uninformed or misled, or they side with Russia and want Putin to take a pause before an even larger aggression.
We should not and will not fall into this trap.
Dear @joerogan, could you ask @realDonaldTrump when he'll appear on your podcast: if Mr. President is so confident in his influence over Putin, could he help #FreeAzovstalDefenders and all Ukrainians from Russian captivity right away? Time is of the essence.
Sincerely, Oleksandr
🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 The Baltic States have agreed on the #BalticDefenceLine along NATO Eastern border. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia signed a cooperation agreement to construct defensive installations, collectively enhancing counter-mobility to deter and, if necessary, defend against threats.
We can resist Russia's expansionism in Europe if we agree on these 3 simple things:
1) Agree that our goal is victory for Ukraine
2) Agree to provide equipment to achieve that goal
3) Agree that the fight should be properly financed, like we financed the fight against COVID
Lithuania congratulates @ChingteLai on his election as President. Together with the people of Taiwan we celebrate the strength of free and fair democracy. 🇱🇹🇹🇼
Russians did this in Ukraine, uncovered in Bucha after the fascists retreated. Even small children were raped and tortured before execution.
MILLIONS of Ukrainians did not manage to escape in time before the fascists occupied them and closed the cities. Ongoing genocide.
People are hiding from rockets in the metro of the capital. 21st century. 2024 year
Russia is shit😡
And the western politicians are shit - they could help - but they don't.😡
Today’s brutal bombing of civilians in Ukraine, after nearly two years of hostilities, confirms that the UN is a completely useless organisation that is incapable of anything but statements. Will we even get one?
Russia spent $100M on Iranian kamikaze mopeds to have a 2% chance of killing a civilian in Kyiv while 30 million Russians still shit into a hole in the ground so they come steal toilets from Ukraine.
But yes tell me more about the great Russian culture.
Lithuania is only 3 million people, but this week we crowdfunded 6 million euros to buy air defence systems for Ukraine. 🇱🇹💕🇺🇦
No sign of fatigue here. We will stand with Ukraine until victory is achieved.
Absolute record. Worldwide
Lithuanians raise 1 006 000 euro for radars for Ukraine in 1 hour. Lithuanian IT company Tesonet doubles it for 2 012 000 euro.
In 1 hour.
Our nation stand with Ukraine until the very end. Until victory!
