That is what the rest of the west tried to do with Russia.


Then they should be happy with Trump who also seems to want to end the war. Considering US was always a war machine this change is surprising.


That's exactly the opposite of what the West has been doing to Russia since at least 1993.

The by far most egregious offense having been the utter disrespect shown to the CFE treaty.

Also not a single leader on Ukraine's side (until Trump) but even tried negotiating with Putin beyond Zelensky's 10-point "peace plan". The only exception being Zelensky himself during the Istanbul negotiations. They asked Russia to retreat from Kyiv to "enable" those negotiations and after Russia did so, for yet unknown reason Ukraine withdrew and refused to engage in any further negotiations.


You mean the 60km convoy that stranded without gas because they thought they could refuel in Kyiv?


They've built a pipeline real fast, tho. Couldn't have expected you need to put any fuel into it before something comes out.

At least the riot shields were put to good use, right?
