I wouldn't want to claim this as a win for the open source community. Ukraine keeps pushing for war when peace talks should be the goal. Putin may not be listening either but it's no surprise when Ukraine keeps pushing for escalation. Neither side has any excuses left at this point. Let's not give open source software a bad name by supporting warmongering.
What the fuck
Not many people know but Ukraine is not very interested in peace either. Their demands are almost as unrealistic as Russia's.
How do you conclude from unrealistic demands to no interest in peace?
What do you think the prospects of short and long-term peace are? What would you be willing to sacrifice for temporary "peace"?
They probably know better than us. No?
Not exactly no interest but not enough interest. I believe the main reason of the war is Russia not being particularly happy with Ukraine's decision to join NATO. I'd say it's impossible to end the war without Ukraine giving up on that.
Also Ukrainian officials exhibit severe discrimination and disrespect against Russian people which is not helping the situation imo.
I'm well aware of the risk of another conflict. It's Russia we're dealing with here after all. However I don't think it's really possible to eliminate it completely. That is the part professionals should think about. My unprofessional suggestion would be letting Ukraine have WMDs.
