A peace deal with Russia would include “security guarantees.”
The Ukraine always had security guarantees with Russia before the US-backed 2014 Maidan coup, and they had security guarantees under the Minsk Accords, which they unilaterally abolished by continuing to attack the Donbass.
RT:
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has argued that NATO should use its upcoming summit to marshal more military aid for Ukraine rather than pushing for the country to join the bloc. The US-led alliance is divided on the speed of Ukraine’s accession, with Britain demanding a fast-tracked process.
“We have to take a sober look at the current situation,” Scholz told parliament in Berlin on Thursday. Scholz added that Ukrainian officials have admitted “that joining NATO is out of the question” for as long as the conflict with Russia is raging, and the Western bloc should focus on other means of “support” for Kiev.
“Therefore, I suggest we focus on the top priority in Vilnius, namely strengthening the combat power of Ukraine,” he argued, referring to the July summit in the Lithuanian capital.
In other NATO news, Scott Ritter has a big piece up at RT where he claims, I believe accurately, that the US must have known that this “counteroffensive” was a joke and that they were just shoving warm bodies into a meat grinder.
It’s also possible that Washington is so filled with morons and liars that they didn’t know how bad things would be.
Remember, these are the same people that did the Afghanistan surrender, which was previously the single most embarrassing military debacle in American history.
Yesterday, the American media started admitting that the ongoing Ukrainian spring counteroffensive is not really going very well.
