I'm wondering how many people will read this and know that my banner is the 4th Sapper Batalion from Poland, not UPA. If you're one of them, congrats.

Being pro-peace: Ukraine must accept every russian demand, surrender its territories, and admit defeat.
Being pro-war: Let's stop the war immediately, without any preconditions.

21.2. 2022 (3 days before the full-scale invasion),
Geneva press conference
"You claim that we are going to attack Ukraine, although we have repeatedly explained that this is not the case.”
.............
Such liar 🤢
I'm speechless
Maybe something along the lines of: "We won't attack Europe; that's nonsense."

Neighbours Russia has turned its army on since 1991:
Moldova. Transnistria, 1992.
Georgia. 2008.
Ukraine. 2014.
Ukraine again. 2022.
Countries that joined NATO at gunpoint: zero.

🔴 IMPORTANT: Russians are detaining parents in temporarily occupied territories if their children refuse to sing the Russian national anthem, Ombudsman Lubinets says.
Family members automatically face “filtration” procedures if children reject rules imposed by occupation authorities.

Zelensky said that during the negotiations in Abu Dhabi, it became clear that the Russian delegation believes it controls more occupied territory than it actually does.
General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, who was present at the meeting, confirmed that the Russians were lying and that the Ukrainian map of the battlefield was closer to reality.
Well, now it's clear why they dragged the American general there in the first place. They needed a competent military official who could objectively assess the situation and point out that the Russians were talking bullshit.
As expected, the negotiations are going nowhere, unless you count attempts to arrange a prisoner-of-war exchange involving approximately 1,000–1,500 people from each side.
Which is a good thing in itself. It's always good when soldiers return home, especially from Russian captivity.
But yes, we can see that freezing the conflict is, to put it mildly, difficult, not least because the Russians are living in a fantasy world.
A world where they've already colored in dozens of square kilometers of territory and even entire settlements that they don't come close to controlling.
Sometimes you can dictate such terms from a position of strength, but Russia is in no position to do so.
After all, what difference does it make whether you actually control Kherson or even Kyiv if your enemy has capitulated and collapsed?
But the situation is nowhere near that. Ukraine has not only avoided collapse and is nowhere near capitulation; on the contrary, it continues to intensify its deep strikes against Russia and conduct successful offensive operations on the front.
The very fact that Russia agreed to show up somewhere to negotiate and bargain demonstrates that the Kremlin is, in effect, acknowledging its own weakness.
Nobody goes where the Kremlin tells them to go. Zelensky, for example, isn't going to Moscow. Yet the Russians obediently travel wherever those damned Westerners summon them.
Russia has become trapped in its own lies, and if Moscow eventually agrees to a freeze, it will have to acknowledge reality and erase many of the territories it has falsely marked as occupied from its maps.
Because ceasefire negotiations are always about specifics — the line of separation is precisely defined and formally recorded in official documents.

The second round of Ukrainian-American-Russian talks in Abu Dhabi is over.
Something like two hours passed between the news that the “negotiations” had begun and the news that they had ended. Yesterday's first round lasted only slightly longer.
I can tell you with a great deal of confidence what's going on here: the parties have absolutely nothing to discuss, nothing to say to one another, and there was never any real basis for genuine negotiations in the first place.
Russia has no intention of abandoning its war to destroy Ukraine at any price. And thanks to Donald Trump's efforts, it has become vastly more determined and motivated to pursue that war at absolutely any cost.
Ukraine, meanwhile, has no intention of capitulating and accepting its own fall in a war in which it hasn't even been defeated, just to satisfy someone else's petty whims and desire to make a quick buck through shady deals with the Kremlin.
Instead, we're getting this ridiculous circus.

The idea that Russia must agree to any security guarantees for Ukraine is patently ridiculous.
Russia agreed to the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, Minsk I in 2014, and Minsk II in 2015.
Did they stop a war? No.
Let me make this very simple: if Russia agrees to it, it's too weak.

An estimated 1.6 million Ukrainian children are living under Russian occupation, exposed to indoctrination and militarisation designed to erase their Ukrainian identity and turn them into the next generation of Russian soldiers.
Children forced to fight against their own country. Families torn apart. A threat that could shape Europe’s security for decades.
These children need protection today. Leaving them under Russian control risks feeding tomorrow’s wars.
As @OlenaHalushka said: Russian occupation is not peace‼️

Russia possesses over 5,400 nuclear warheads, maintains one of the world's largest militaries, and has repeatedly invaded its neighbors.
It doesn't need security guarantees against Ukraine.
Ukraine needs security guarantees against Russia.
Stop confusing the aggressor with the victim.

Life in Ukraine’s capital before Russia’s full-scale invasion was peaceful and full of life.
Today, Kyiv increasingly sees ruins and the aftermath of Russian attacks.
This is what Russia does to Ukrainian cities: launches missiles and drones, destroys homes, and takes innocent lives.

❗️Durante la tregua en Oleshky, los rusos regresaron a posiciones de las que habían sido expulsados durante todo un año.
* era más que previsible que esa supuesta "generosidad" tenía un costo y que se utilizaba la situación de los rehenes, muchos de ellos en condiciones extremadamente precarias, como herramienta de presión sobre Ucrania. Aun así, priorizaron salvar vidas y proteger a su población, incluso al precio de ceder temporalmente terreno y perder parte de la ventaja obtenida en esa zona.

Happy Kherson Liberation Day! 🇺🇦
Yes, on this very day in 2022, a major Ukrainian military operation culminated in the withdrawal of Russian forces from Kherson, as they sought to avoid having their entire force in and around the city completely cut off. Russia's only captured foothold on the western bank of the Dnipro fell, never to be retaken.
And Ukrainian soldiers entered a half-empty city, where jubilant crowds waving Ukrainian flags greeted them in the central square.
Yes, it was a very, very happy day for all of us. Another spectacular Ukrainian victory, the greatest success since the Battle of Kyiv, in that very same year of war when, just months earlier, people had been writing Ukraine off as dead and buried, giving us 48 or perhaps 72 hours.
We were absolutely over the moon. It seemed that the war had finally reached its decisive turning point. That our Western friends would now put aside their fears of Putin, stop wasting time and energy on “escalation management,” and finally unleash the full might of Western military assistance to a victorious Ukraine, bringing Russia's invasion and occupation to a final, crushing collapse.
Alas, it was not to be. For many reasons, some subjective, others objective.
The struggle goes on, and Ukraine continues to fight heroically against one of the world's largest and most brutal dictatorships and military powers, which has proved incapable of crushing Ukraine in 24 hours, in 10 days, in a year, or even in nearly five years.
Glory to the heroes!

Ukraine rejects a US offer it simply couldn't refuse 😂
According to The Telegraph, Washington proposed redrawing borders in a way that would allow Russia to claim full control over Donbas and present it as a victory in the war.
The idea was supposedly meant to break the deadlock in peace negotiations. But Kyiv rejected it.
Strange, isn't it? Such an amazing deal! Everybody wins! 🤡🤡🤡
All Ukraine had to do was help the Kremlin declare victory!

Russian Z-propagandist Simonyan called Ukraine a "cancerous tumor" and said "nothing can be preserved, you just have to pound away until nothing is left."
Russia's desire for genocide aginst Ukrainians is well-known.
I'm sharing this to show it still persists.

Z wiceministrem obrony Ukrainy Sergiyem Boyevem podpisaliśmy porozumienie o powołaniu polsko-ukraińskich grup roboczych ds. technologii dronowych i antydronowych.
Rozmawialiśmy również o dalszej współpracy wojskowej, bezpieczeństwie obu naszych państw i transferze technologii.
Finalizujemy kwestie przekazania Ukrainie polskich MiG-29 w zamian za dostęp do ukraińskich technologii dronowych i antydronowych.

Zrobiło mi się wstyd, bo nie przypominam sobie, by kiedykolwiek „nasz prezydent” wyraził ubolewanie z powodu codziennie zabijanych przez rosjan ukraińskich cywilów.
Przeszukałem @NawrockiKn i @prezydentpl i nic podobnego nie znalazłem.
Szokująca zbrodnia w Krakowie. W imieniu Narodu Ukraińskiego oraz własnym składam szczere kondolencje rodzinom i bliskim ofiar. Nie ma usprawiedliwienia dla napastnika i mamy nadzieję, że kara będzie dotkliwa.
Życzymy sił i powrotu do zdrowia ofiarom i wszystkim dotkniętym tą tragedią. Ukraina solidaryzuje się z Polską i Narodem Polskim. Ludzie mają prawo do bezpieczeństwa!
