The author reminded that in his opinion, the peace offer from Istanbul in the spring of 2022 envisioned the Russian army remaining near Kyiv and the return of Ukrainian troops to bases, not the withdrawal of the Russians. He added that currently, Russian troops are hundreds of kilometers away from the capital and that no agreement envisions their return to Kyiv. #Ukraina #Rosja #wojna #UA #RU #TR (translated)

The author wrote that the 2022 Istanbul draft did not include a mechanism for withdrawing Russian troops from Ukrainian territory and instead envisaged their continued presence on the outskirts of Kyiv. They also called the rest of Yuliia’s tweet “nonsense.” #Ukraine #Istanbul #RussianTroops #TR #RU #UA

The author wrote that the first question should be why the Russian regime had imprisoned a US citizen and whether it might be connected to the US negotiating delegation’s approach toward Russia. #Russia #USPolitics #HumanRights #US #RU

The author wrote that they had spent years telling Ukrainians that Poland’s assistance helped the country hold its ground in the early days of the war. They said they would spend just as long telling Americans that Poland stepped in when it mattered most, after the United States had already given up on Ukraine. #Ukraine #Poland #Support #UA #PL #US

The author said US rhetoric was reminiscent of the 2021 debate over whether Ukraine should be pressured to meet Russia’s demands. They wrote that such pressure would not bring peace but would clear the way for Russia’s plans, adding that they still stood by that argument. https://t.co/SujIRtoInW #Ukraine #Russia #Rhetoric #US #UA #RU

The author wrote that trust in President Zelensky had risen from 43% to 57% in one week amid US plans for a deal with Russia and renewed pressure on Ukraine. The author added that President Trump had done more than anyone else to strengthen Zelensky’s political standing. https://t.co/TSfYTAL1he #Zelensky #Ukraine #Politics #UA #US #RU

The author welcomed the idea that self-described opinion leaders should be held accountable for their statements and said journalists should fact-check their claims rather than pass on what they described as nonsense.

The author argued that the Trump administration’s actions were giving China a route through Ukraine into Europe, making it harder for Washington to achieve its stated strategic objective of containing China’s rise. #Ukraine #China #USForeignPolicy #CN #UA #US

The author wrote that Russia would remain a long-term problem regardless of how the war in Ukraine ended, adding that offering Moscow money would not make the problem disappear. #Russia #Ukraine #Geopolitics #RU #UA

The author argued that the Biden administration had applied the same flawed logic in late 2021 by restricting support for Ukraine to pressure Kyiv to implement the Minsk agreements. They said the policy had not increased leverage over Ukraine, but had created conditions that paved the way for Russia’s full-scale invasion. #UkrainianCrisis #BidenAdministration #RussiaInvasion #UA #RU

The author argued that a faction in Washington persistently failed to understand that restricting support for Ukraine was reducing US influence over the course of the war, rather than maximising it. #Ukraine #Washington #WarPolicy #UA #US

The author called for them to be used in Ukraine’s attacks on Russian arms factories and energy infrastructure, which they said kept Russia’s war machine running. They added that wars could not be won through defence alone. #Ukraine #War #Conflict #UA #RU

The author argued that the Trump administration was signalling to European allies funding PURL that even commercial arms deals with the United States could be affected by Washington’s political decisions. They said the message would have lasting consequences for European defence cooperation with the US. #Trump #Europa #Defesa #EU #US

The author argued that the US negotiating with Russia behind Europe’s back to unfreeze the assets was reason enough to pursue what could be called European “strategic autonomy”. #Europa #Geopolitik #StrategischeAutonomie #US #RU #EU

The author wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky had sought a deal with Vladimir Putin from the first day of his presidency, but argued that Putin’s maximalist demands—from the Normandy summit in Paris and his pre-invasion ultimatum to Istanbul and later proposals—had made an agreement, and therefore peace, impossible. #Zelensky #Putin #PeaceNegotiations #UA #RU #FR #TR

The author wrote that Donald Trump’s demand for Zelensky to step down did more than anything else to boost Zelensky’s political standing. #Zelensky #Trump #Politics #UO #US

The author wrote that Republicans would lose the midterms and that Ukraine would continue striking Russian energy infrastructure, which they said was justified. They added that Russia would keep bombing Ukraine and argued that announcement-focused politics only looked good online, while Vladimir Putin continued receiving real money for the war—the root cause, they said, of the problem facing America. #Ukraine #Russia #Midterms #UA #RU #US

The author called for Russian assets to be seized and used to fund Ukraine’s long-range strikes against Russia’s energy infrastructure. #Ukraine #Russia #EnergyCrisis #RU #UA

The author said the issue merited attention and again questioned why Western leaders were surprised by Russia’s behaviour, which they described as entirely predictable. #Russia #Politics #Leadership #RU #US
