Lets not forget the Budapest Memorandum. Russia has loved meddling in its neighbors' activities and hated all of those who looked towards the West for economic advances.

Lets not forget he based this war on the idea that a person of Jewish heritage was a Nazi and Hitler supporter which I mean is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

Calm down. You don't need to fight. The moto is: 'fight until the last Ukrainian'

Where are the diplomats, I ask You?

Russia didnt want to participate in peace conferences soooo ya know you can only do so much if the otherside doesn't want to negotiate in good faith

reply

Ukraine is open to a ceasefire but nato won’t allow it.

reply

Ah yeah when Russia pulls back and leaves Ukraine which Russia has clearly stated time and time again it wont do so I guess you could say its a half truth? NATIO is going to keep on doing what Ukraine wants and it is pretty clear they want weapons so wala weapons they will get

reply

Ukraine is a pawn for NATO which will never commit their own troops against Russia

reply

That's simply false. One month ago russia offered negociations

reply

Ukraine said they had to leave Ukraine Russia said that was a non starter so again its something that isn't in good faith. Russia still wants/plans on somehow getting Kherson back since it is now Russian in their eyes cause they said so

reply

And above all this joke of a 'peace conference' in Switzerland without inviting russia...

A memorandum is a piece of paper that lacks the force of a treaty.

The Budapest Memorandum was not ratified by the U.S. Senate. It is a political agreement rather than a legally binding treaty, which means it did not require Senate ratification. The memorandum was designed to provide security assurances to Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan in exchange for their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) as non-nuclear states. The U.S. administrations involved did not seek Senate ratification because they believed the Senate would not approve a treaty with military commitments to Ukraine. Instead, the memorandum was adopted with more limited terms as a political commitment rather than a formal treaty[1][4][5].
