Cable Forum - Russia has invaded Ukraine

Isn't it funny how the country USA is the reason this war is prolonged. I mean USA want it ended by force or being occupied. Thousands are dying due to this confusion.

I think it's safe to say Putin ain't listening now. Trump should focus merging Canada, Greenland and south America to the United States of whole America :woot:

What about Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama)?

declaration sets out the "components of the security guarantees". This includes:

Setting up a ceasefire monitoring mechanism placed under US leadership with contributions from several nations;
A Ukrainian force of 800,000 men with the "training, capabilities, and all the necessary resources to ensure that this army can deter any new aggression";
Continuing to work to create a "multinational force in the air, on the seas and on land to provide reassurance after the ceasefire";
And Ukraine's allies legally committing to supporting Ukraine "in the event of a new attack by Russia".

Von der Leyen said: "Ukraine's accession to the EU will be both a key security guarantee in its own right and a central pillar of our transformative prosperity offer."

For context: Ukraine's bid for EU membership has long been on the bloc's agenda, with several rounds of talks held on the matter last year.

But the move has faced repeated resistance from Hungary, whose prime minister, Viktor Orban, and government are widely seen as the most Kremlin-friendly of its members.

Formal EU accession negotiations can only begin with the unanimous consent of all 27 member states.

So the EU and it's bumchums will war with Russia :rolleyes: what a bullshit life to live. I mean do they honestly believe this will pass. This and Ukraines NATO membership.

Ukraine are soo lucky they have US assistance, stick that in your declaration of the willing.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

NATO membership is not on the cards.
I dont believe it ever was, even before the war, not for a long time anyway.

I dont see why we should legally commit to supporting them, it should be voluntary.

Can you really see Russia agreeing to Ukraine having an 800,000 "force".

In fact, can you really see them (Putin) agreeing to any of this.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Interesting u-turn from Zelensky

Zelenskyy planning elections in Ukraine and vote on peace deal

Trump administration has pressured Ukrainian leader to hold both votes by May 15 or risk losing security guarantees

Ukraine has begun planning presidential elections alongside a referendum on any peace deal with Russia, after the Trump administration pressed Kyiv to hold both votes by May 15 or risk losing proposed US security guarantees.

The move, according to Ukrainian and western officials and others familiar with the matter, comes amid intense pressure on Kyiv by the White House to wrap up peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in the spring.

The plan aligns with a US push, outlined by Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reporters last Friday, to have all documents signed to bring Europe’s largest conflict since the second world war to an end by June.

“They say that they want to do everything by June . . . so that the war ends,” Ukraine’s president told reporters, citing the White House’s desire to shift its focus to the US midterm elections in November. “And they want a clear schedule.”

Not really.

Quote:

Ukrainian and western officials stressed that both the timetable and the US ultimatum were unlikely to hold, as they hinged on several factors, including that progress could be made towards a peace deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Agreeing to plan for something you know won’t happen is just good politics, if being seen doing the planning is necessary in order to secure continued support.

The Western news media still doesn’t really understand Ukraine, or this conflict, and is largely still stuck in a cold-war mindset in which Ukraine must inevitably, eventually, take whatever terms are on offer because Russia is the unbeatable second army of the world. It consequently falls victim to its own confirmation bias whenever it gets hold of stories like this.

You see the same phenomenon on the BBC whenever they send a reporter to spend a week on one section of the vast front in this conflict. Inevitably they start filing copy about depressed, demoralised soldiers and ZOMG! RuSSiaNs aRe AdVaNcInG!!11!! pieces-to-camera delivered with that sad head tilt and sympathetic frown I’m sure they all learn how to do before being handed their flak jacket.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Question: Can Trump guarantee that Russia will not hit polling stations with their drones, cruise missiles or ballistic ones during the election/referendum? They would present very tempting targets for them.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Trump can’t guarantee that any more than he could guarantee a week without Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure during an especially cold winter week, as was demonstrated last week. As I’ve said before, we don’t have hard proof that Trump has been compromised by the FSB, but it’s difficult to imagine how differently he’d behaving if he were. He talks tough but rarely actually does anything that causes Russia strategic harm and it’s plain Russia does what it wants regardless of what Trump seems to say.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Perhaps why Zelensky was willing to have an election during a cease fire but I doubt if it happen now.

VIENNA, March 5 (Reuters) - The United States joined Russia, China, and *Niger on Thursday in opposing a resolution adopted by the U.N. nuclear watchdog's board denouncing attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure as a threat to nuclear safety, diplomats said.

The resolution, passed by the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-nation Board of Governors, is the seventh on Ukraine since Russia invaded its neighbour four years ago.

This is the first time ⁠the United States has opposed one.

"While we continue supporting the IAEA's work in-country, we do not support the Board's current consideration of an unnecessary resolution that does not help achieve peace between Ukraine and Russia," the United States said in its statement to the board before the vote.

The US government has temporarily eased sanctions to allow India to buy Russian oil currently stranded at sea, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the 30-day waiver, external was a "deliberate short-term measure" to allow oil to keep flowing in the global market.

Are all of the Russian sanctions decided by Lord Trump (Master of the Universe and beyond), or do other Countries have a say in them?
