„Alle von Russland in den letzten 15 Jahren unterzeichneten Friedensabkommen wurden gebrochen – in Moldawien, Georgien und der Ukraine. Basierend auf dieser Erfahrung wollen wir Frieden und Garantien“, sagte Präsident Macron auf dem Gipfel der Koalition der Willigen

Good job Macron! Slava Ukraine!

Only 15 years? By my reckoning, Russia has not kept any peace agreement signed within the last 50 years. Perhaps longer.

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that recent pictures of the frontlines were missing the thousands of shell holes per square kilometre, now replaced by thousands of fibre optics.

Consider this, if a ceasefire, followed by a surrender of territory is accepted by Ukraine, these once fertile lands will be poisoned and dangerous for a hundred years.

The thing is, it will all be in the Russian sector, a wide band of territory stretching from Kupiansk to the Black Sea a 350 mile long corridor, often 40 miles wide, of foul farmland, just right for Orc snouts to snuffle for rotten poisoned vegetables shrouded in optic fibre cables, surrounded by a thousand hamlet, villages a towns, laid waste as rubble.

It’s a dystopian world that would cost Russian billions to clean and rebuild. But they won’t because Putin doesn’t give a fuck for them, because all he wanted was the victory and the land. As far he is concerned, the peasants can try to reclaim it themselves – what’s a leg, arm, life lost when he has victory?

Ukraine can lick its wounds, mourn its losses, thank its people and the millions around the world who supported them for four plus years and they don’t have to deal the crap Russia tainted their former lands.

So you see, it’s not a defeat, it’s a victory and something that Finland also experienced and look at them now.

Finland, prosperous and often voted the most content country, while their lost territory Karelia, is poor, undeveloped and run by Russians.
