Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Ukraine accused Russia of making “hollow statements about peace” after a missile strike in Sumy injured 88 people, including 17 children, amid US-Russia peace talks in Saudi Arabia.

Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, claimed progress toward a 30-day ceasefire but faced backlash for pro-Russian remarks legitimizing Moscow’s staged referendums in four Ukrainian regions.

These votes, condemned as illegitimate by the West, led to Russia’s largest territorial seizure in Europe since World War II.

Ukraine remains skeptical of Moscow’s intentions, pointing to past instances where Moscow failed to honour its commitments.

If Russia wanted peace they wouldn't be committing war crimes bombing civilians.

Well, because it is.

Putin needs Ukraine to rebuild the the Russian Empire, nothing has changed on that front.

All of this ceasefire talk is nonsense.

Putin will obviously violate any deal when it is convenient for him to do so

Which they have to spell out for us because trump is such a transparent tool of Putin all the MAGAt chuds have to be unpleasantly reminded his ridiculous attack of Zelenskyy is and was always bullshit.

"Failed to honour" implies they've tried, which is not the case.
