Who gave the US the power to reject negotiation proposals between Ukraine and Russia? I thought Ukraine is an independent and sovereign country defending itself from an invading force. Who’s the US to say what Ukraine can and can’t meet to discuss?

The CIA, when they couped Ukraine’s leadership. It’s just a puppet state acting in America’s interests now.

Oh, the burger crackers took that power themselves. No one ceded it to them.

Indeed they did, as they always do. I just can’t stand burger crackers insisting that Ukraine is a sovereign nation, while at the same time their trusted media and government openly admit that the shots are being called from Washington and not Kiev.

No one, that’s what Washington is saying on the article, responding to a plea from Putin for the US to come to the negotiations table.

The “proposal” made by Putin was addressed to the US. The US said it’s not on us, you should talk to Ukraine.

So I believe right now you are agreeing with Washington and disagreeing with Putin, correct?

My question is why is the US rejecting anything, isn’t that a war between Russia and Ukraine?

That’s the reason they’re rejecting it. From the article:

“Barring a Ukrainian demand signal” for peace talks, “there’s unlikely to be a push from Washington,” he said.

Is anybody actually so naive as to believe that Ukraine has any say in this?

Key points:

  • 60% want to keep fighting until victory (which >90% define as everything including Crimea liberated) – down from 70% about a year ago
  • Zelensky’s approval rating is >80%

So not only Ukraine but ukrainians seem to agree with White House’s assessment.

That’s right, fight to the last Ukrainian. It’s a great investment.

It is a great investment for NATO. At the cost of spare inventory of 2nd tier weapons (which need to be replaced soon), they can broom fuck Russia from a safe distance… And Ukraine is begging for this it’s only polite to help out.

Except that’s not what’s actually happening given that it’s Europe and Ukraine being broom fucked, as you put it. Russian economy is growing, as is its industrial output. Russia has successfully diverted trade away from the west and had no problems finding new trade partners. Russian military output now outpaces all of G7 as western media openly admits. Meanwhile, the regime US installed in Ukraine is sacrificing the country for US interests while scumbags in the west cheer this on.

Why is Putin still trying to negotiate with the empire of lies? The breaking of the Minsk agreements, as well as the fact that the Nazi Arming and Training Organization expanded east despite agreements not to, should have been more than enough proof that the western snakes will always stab you in the back.

The only way this war ends is with the dismantling of the Maidan regime and the demilitarization of Ukraine.

Because that was always a propaganda piece, probably.
