It seems to me they don’t understand that since 2014 there were about 200 rounds of talks and about 20 ceasefire agreements and that russia broke every one of those agreements.

They don’t understand 🇷🇺 never intends to keep its agreements, it never negotiates in good faith.  History has shown, time and time again, russia will agree, then, when it’s to russia’s advantage, russia will fabricate rationale to break their agreement.

Moreover, 🇷🇺 knows that Ukraine is committed to protecting its younger generation as much as possible, so Ukraine has kept the eligibility age higher than we would in the US.

Because Ukraine has publicly declared this it seems 🇷🇺 is attempting to push that as a starting point for Ukraine.

The administration needs to track down who in Trump’s team is pushing these 🇷🇺 talking points and who is under foreign influence within the incoming WH team.

Lastly, it’s weird they think Ukraine needs to concede anything for negotiations.    It’s not a business deal; it’s a crime, an unjust and evil invasion.
