European Union countries renewed the bloc’s two sanctions frameworks on Russia for another six months at the end of January and earlier this month. Any changes to sanctions require unanimity among its 27 member states.

“The end of the Russian unprovoked and unjustified aggression in Ukraine and unconditional withdrawal of all Russian military forces from the entire territory of Ukraine would be one of the main preconditions to amend or lift sanctions,” the spokesperson said.

Even if Trump gives them whatever they want, it's pleasing to know Europe is holding firm-er.

In every towns we have a commemorative monument with names of people who died from the last war. No way we could let these assholes do what they want without repercussion.

This statement was first said at the very first peace talk? Ab the end-ish of the year one of the conflict

Mil analyst actually believe that may be the reason the war lasted so long, since Russia would reenact the circumstances of the October revolution if it did gave up lands it conquered

How do they define Ukraine? Do they include the Donbas? Howsabout Crimea?

Why not 1919 borders while we're at it?

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

RISK borders, nothing less.

(Poland and Baltic states are cool, they can stay)

I read that there are forces in Russia who are very much for the war. If Russia ends the war without gaining anything, I wonder how the populace will take it. A lot of people dying with nothing to show for it.

Would be nice if the populace got together and overthrew the authoritarian regime. We can show them how, if they want to.

Let us hope the pro peace forces are stronger.
