"If they do not have the will to implement a simple order to stop the attacks, it may take a great deal of effort to get Russia to implement something much more significant, namely peaceful coexistence with its neighbors for decades to come."

The Kremlin has rejected these demands at every turn, insisting that Ukraine first make extreme concessions — such as the dissolution of its army and the refusal to accept foreign military aid.

So… Ukraine has to leave itself utterly defenseless before Putin will even consider a ceasefire? Not just standing down, but dissolving the army? I assumed it would be bad, but this isn’t even worth Zelensky’s time. A demand this extreme can’t even be considered a negotiation tactic. It’s the diplomatic equivalent of the middle finger.

All this “peace talk” nonsense is just a distraction.

And this is after they violated multiple treaties with Ukraine when Russia did the same shit before. It's a fucking joke.
