‘Nothing about Ukraine, without Ukraine’

I predict Ukraine will a have minimum of 3 red lines:
1. Remainder of Donetsk cannot & will not be given up
2. Ukraine cannot accept suggested restrictions on size of its army
3. Ukraine cannot undertake never to join NATO👇

It was good to join @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social to discuss what is known about latest Ukraine peace negotiations in Geneva.

No one wants peace more than the Ukrainians;
If Russia stops fighting there will be no war, but if Ukraine stops fighting there will be no Ukraine👇

It was great to join @siliconcurtain.bsky.social again. All who care not only for Ukraine, but for our way of life must pay close attention to what is going on now.

We really are at a critical juncture in our history.

Ukraine is the frontline in the battle for freedom in our world, have no doubt!
Ukraine's darkest hour and stark choices - Is it time to break up with Trump?! asks Zelenskyy. The U.S. administration's 'abusive' strategy to coerce Ukraine into an unfavorable capitulation will not lead to real or robust peace. @kozakcormac.bsky.social - youtu.be/SFXpC5HsJro

Trump and Putin's so-called 'peace deal' would mean the "end of Ukraine".

"It will effectively signal the end of our rules-based order. Ukraine simply CANNOT and WILL NOT sign this agreement."

"What we need to see now is the €140bn in frozen Russian assets finally released and given to Ukraine!"

A source in Brussels tells On The Brink that senior EU Leaders are "spitting blood" at the prospect of 'Trump-Putin's 28-point peace deal'.

The Trump/Putin peace plan?

This is Russia’s terms for Ukranian capitulation translated in to English by America.

Be very clear; it would mean 3 things:

1. The end of Ukraine

2. The end of ‘our’ Rules Based Order

3. Nuclear proliferation & WWIII brought closer

I was a senior council officer for 15 years; local government is a wee bit more complicated than these Reform charlatans seem to think.

It may well be the rock they perish on🙏

Trump/Putin peace deal is a non starter

I’m grateful to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for a generous 10 minutes to discuss latest Trump/Putin ‘peace’ deal for Ukraine.

Cooked up between Kremlin & Whitehouse, without Ukraine’s involvement, it is a deal Ukraine cannot & will not accept

A very good article by @ZaluzhnyiUA in NY Post & the need to give Ukraine more respect.

‘Lest we forget’

Today I shall join my friend @PhilipIngMBE in the @TimesRadio Frontline Studio to discuss the latest on a war that we risk forgetting, Russia’s war on Ukraine.

And on this armistice day we will also reflect on all those who paid & are still paying the ultimate price for freedom.

‘There are no Brexit benifits’

Over 6 years ago I stood outside Tufton Street & said 3 things:
1 It was a right wing libertarian plot
2 The poorest duped to support it would suffer the most
3 And it’s caused a few problems in NI too

There are no Brexit benefits, only pain

“Russia isn’t suited for democratic rule. We are better off with a tsar”
&
“Putin’s opponents are deluded for not realising they are in the minority”

‘The most resilient people’

(Re upping this photo from 19 months ago)

When this photo was taken there were an estimated 20,000 amputees in Ukraine, victims of bastard Russia’s genocidal war.

By current estimates the number of amputees in Ukraine is now at least 35,000 & may be as many as 100,000.

‘The Ukraine’

Ireland has elected a far left ‘Tankie’ peace monger who spouts Kremlin talking points:

1.Insists on referring to ‘The Ukraine’
2.Railed against EU & industrial military base.
3.Has likened Germany’s recent rearmament to that of 1930’s Nazi Germany.
