It’s not a war, it’s an invasion. Ukraine is merely defending itself, they aren’t attacking Russia or Russian soil.
Russia has been given invites to many conferences for decades and other olive branches to get them into a closer relationship with us… Russia declined to show up to them time-and-time again. NATO even tabled the idea to Russia that they could possibly join NATO about fifteen years ago. The only thing Russia has done in that time has become more hostile.
Russia has no ambition to work with us. They have continually lied about what they want and what they’re going to do. They are a rogue state. It’s a worry to think about how many Ukrainian citizens they will have genocidally killed once this is all over.
If we could even get Putin round a table (he’s become a paranoid recluse), it’s as likely he’d send the biggest bombardment of rockets hitting Kyiv whilst the meeting is taking place as it is to get him round the table in the first place.
