@wdlindsy@toad.social"I think this meeting is going to be a disaster for Ukraine and security in Europe. Whatever agreement comes from this meeting will not lead to lasting peace in the region. The terms of this ceasefire will likely serve as a means for the Russians to rebuild their capabilities and reconstitute their military."
~ Alexander Vindman
@Free_Press@mstdn.socialGerman Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz:
"The circumstances are determined above all by Putin's war of aggression against Europe. It is a war against Europe and not just a war against the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Even if you see it differently here and there, it is a war against our country that takes place every day

With the Polish presidential elections just two months away, two of the country's leading right-wing candidates have become increasingly antagonistic toward Ukraine and its leadership.

@wdlindsy@toad.social"Eleven years to the day since Vladimir Putin illegally annexed Crimea—the first, calculated act of a military operation that would lead to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine—the Russian president will today speak with the leader of the free world to carve up the spoils."

@wdlindsy@toad.social"Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will speak on the phone today discussing the next step in the US president’s plans for bringing about a ceasefire in Ukraine….
Much to Europe’s frustration, it once again finds itself not at the table and having to rely on readouts from Washington or Moscow containing only what they choose to disclose."

Apart from the obvious reasons...
Russia isn't really an important economic force. 
#Ukraine’s Minister of National Unity, Oleksiy Chernyshov, predicts that 70% of citizens will return after the war if the country develops and stabilizes. He told BBC News Ukraine that 30% may come back once safety is assured, followed by another 40% later.
I think it’s feasible, because economics is one of many and not the most important aspect for emigrants - and I know because I’m one too ;) Especially when you have kids factors such as language, culture, social networks and school start to play an increasingly important role.
I know plenty of Poles and other Eastern Europeans who left UK when their kids approached the school age. They left with significant money savings earned in the UK, useful professional skills and job experience, and they left to Poland with significantly improved economy.
Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Ukraine drängt auf Zustimmung zu Waffenruhe ++
Der ukrainische Außenminister Sybiha hat Moskau nochmals aufgefordert, der von den USA vorgeschlagenen Waffenruhe zuzustimmen. Russland soll die Ukraine in der Nacht erneut mit fast 140 Drohnen angegriffen haben.
Trump und Putin wollen telefonieren - was ist zu erwarten?
Trump und Putin wollen heute ein zweites Mal über eine mögliche Waffenruhe für die Ukraine sprechen. Auf einen Vorschlag zu einer 30-tägigen Feuerpause hat Putin zurückhaltend reagiert. Was ist also von dem Gespräch zu erwarten?
@Free_Press@mstdn.social"Lviv. Honored the memory of the fallen defenders of Ukraine.
We remember each and every one who gave the most precious thing – their life – for the freedom and future of our state. Eternal memory to the heroes."
- President Zelensky
