You can absolutely want peace and even agree to concessions to Russia to reach a sustainable peace, but this point is absolutely valid: there must be security guarantees, otherwise Putin will just use the armistice to rebuild its strength and attack again.

Oh, absolutely. We want peace more than anyone else, but giving putin a chance to regroup, pull more support together and attack again is not peace, it's surrender

Like all the guarantees before it, trusting the scorpion will only get the frog drowned.

As a disgusted American.... SLAVA UKRAINE!

I'm sorry my country is acting so poorly

Negotiations without security assurances*

This is the prime stickler with the USA-Ukraine deal that has been discussed on the news

Putin needs to lose something or he'll just invade someone else.

Zelensky confirmed it was 25 in his meeting with Trump.

The image describes 2014-2022. So it seems he's had 5 additional sit-downs with Russia between 2023-2025.

At least someone is trying to make peace happen (Ukraine).

I'm all for diplomacy. Finding diplomatic solutions to these kinds of problems is the ideal outcome.

When it's not ideal and you're dealing with someone irrational or uncooperative, then maybe fighting isn't the worst way to go.

Bluntly, I support Ukraine. They're clearly trying to make diplomacy work.

I can't say the same for Putin/Russia.
