This ist attempted genocide ("Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part"). Negotiations should only continue if Russia immediately stops the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Enough is enough!

I doubt that American security guarantees for Ukraine can still be of any value as part of a treaty as long as someone like Trump is president. If Russia attacks again, Putin will claim that Ukraine fired first and Trump will feel under no obligation to act.

Ich verstehe ehrlich gesagt nicht, warum man den Frachter nicht einfach in einen Hafen zwingt, dort festsetzt, polizeilich untersucht und die Besatzung verhört. Immerhin steht die Besatzung im Verdacht, erhebliche Straftaten begangen zu haben. Fürchtet man den Zorn Pekings? Sei es drum!
