Looks like Lloyd Austin is in town to deliver the bad news personally. You're on your own.

US defence secretary visits Kyiv​


“I’m here today to deliver an important message: the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russia’s aggression, both now and into the future.”
Every so often I take the buffoon off ignore just to see how stupid his cr@p can be.

I know I shouldn't, but I actually feel sorry for him ☹️
 
Eh, what's the point. You could easily pull anything that poster 'contributes' to the thread (if spamming obvious propaganda channels in here can be considered a contribution) apart in several ways, but they aren't listening anyway - just hitting submit and then jogging off to trawl Twitter for more far-right troll accounts to spread.

Nobody here able to reason is taking their crap seriously, nobody is likely to fall for the same disinformation they seem to be guzzling.

You're right of course.

Ignore and move on with our lives.
 
I really don't think they're going to get what they want anytime soon Ukraine in terms of accession to the EU.

That looks a long shot at best..

The European Council’s president, Charles Michel, expects a “difficult” meeting next month on the matter of launching formal accession talks with Ukraine, he said during a visit to Kyiv on Tuesday.

Michel was speaking at a joint news conference with Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and Moldova’s president, Maia Sandu.

Ukraine was added last summer to the queue of official candidates with recommendations to prioritise seven clusters of changes centring on judicial governance, anti-corruption legislation and anti-oligarchisation among them.

Sandu has urged the EU to show “speed and unity” regarding Moldova’s and Ukraine’s bids to join the bloc, as she visited Kyiv on Tuesday.

“The urgency of these times, marked by war and insecurity, demands that we accelerate our processes. Speed and unity are not just strategic choices, they are a matter of survival and the return to European stability,” she told a news conference in the Ukrainian capital.

That's a blow to the U.S. and their ambitions to win India over to their sphere of influence.

The BRICS are sticking together despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine and western frustrations with them not backing Kyiv.

Russia's open military intervention into the Ukraine civil war, didn't damage it or make it a pariah state as hoped by the US Empire. It did damage the German economy though, due to high energy costs, and as a consequence damaged the EU.

The US has passed the baton to the EU to finance the US Empire's war against Russia. That baton has been enthusiastically taken up and to save face have 'promised' all and sundry. Except EU membership.

Zelensky has been told by Austin to dig in and go into a defensive mode, because the offensive has failed my serably and a fall back position is needed. Biden doesn't want a Ukraine war to hinder his election prospects. The problem with that hope is Zelensky's ego and Russia doesn't need to play that game.

 
A bit like those who condemn Israel's actions in Gaza but excuse Russia's actions when attacking Ukraine.
Russia intervened into a civil war, launched by Banderite fascist elements to wipe all traces of those in the Donbass, that wouldn't accept the prospects of being wiped off the face of the earth. The first salvo, was the murder of trade unionists in Odessa, by Rightist forces culminating in a coup against the democratically elected government. The US chose the next president, and those in the Donbass reacted by taking up arms to defend themselves against a potential pogrom.

The Banderite fascists acted just like the IDF are acting now. Indiscriminate bombing of civilians in the Donbass and on the ground attacks. After suffering setbacks the Minsk Agreement was proposed and the Ukraine military dug in with tenches and carried on their bombing campaign. As Merkel let slip they had no intention of implementing the Agreement but to buy time to arm the Ukraine military to the teeth to attack the Donbass again. Russia intervened to halt a potential slaughter in the Donbass.

Ten years later, Ukraine has lost on the battlefield and list 4 Oblasts. The only hope for a viable state is a negotiated settlement something the US Empire now seems to want, after stopping one in April 2022. The resultant deaths of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians had taken its toll on Ukraine. All thanks to the US Empire's attempt to damage Russia and stop Germany getting cheap Russian gas. The defeat of the US Empire in Ukraine is to be welcomed.

The jigs up, and has been since the Spring counter offensive turned into the late Summer counter offensive which turned finally into another Russian offensive.

No personnel
No new weapons
No political support
No chance of holding even what they have

Get shut of the corrupt clown Zelensky and sue for peace and save Ukrainian lives.
