Why dont you admit that US and NATO instigated the war, the original culprit is US.

russia could have just, you know, not invaded, just because US/NATO were saying hurtful sayings.

The real problem is that NATO wants to and about to expand to Ukraine and puts NATO troops there to threaten Russia, not just hurtful sayings.

US says Ukraine ceasefire would cement Russian 'conquest'​

WASHINGTON

A ceasefire in Ukraine would only serve to "ratify" Russia's territorial gains against its eastern European neighbor, the White House said Thursday.

The comments come after China unveiled a 12-point proposal to end the war, which calls for negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv and a nationwide ceasefire.

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that while the "much ballyhooed" proposal from Beijing to halt hostilities "sounds perfectly reasonable," it would ultimately lead to legitimizing Russia's territorial gains, and "would constitute another continued violation of the UN Charter."

"A ceasefire right now would basically ratify Russia's conquest. It would, in effect, recognize Russia's gains, and all of its attempts to conquer a neighbor's territory by force," he told reporters during a virtual briefing.

"Russia would basically be free to use that ceasefire to further entrench its positions in Ukraine, to rebuild their forces, refit them, reman them, retain them so that they can then restart attacks at a time of their choosing. And frankly it's just not a step that we believe towards a just and durable peace," he added.

Kirby said the Biden administration has "long been encouraging" Chinese President Xi Jinping to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying "it's really important for the Chinese to get the Ukrainian perspective here and not just Mr. Putin's."

He was referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

China has long claimed neutrality in Russia's war against Ukraine, but has refrained from criticizing Moscow and has repeatedly either sided with it or abstained during successive votes at the United Nations amid warning Moscow-Beijing relations.

Beijing on Feb. 24 rolled out its peace proposal to end the war in Ukraine, bucking long-standing demands from Ukraine that no ceasefire be implemented until Russia leaves all of its occupied territories.

Zelenskyy reacted lukewarmly to China's proposal, saying it is "not bad," and noting his government is in favor of some of the items put forward by Beijing.

Yeah no shit. It's good to see papa America offer no solution.

Russia started it

No they didn't. The US and NATO should stop provoking Russia in it's own neighborhood.

The real problem is that NATO wants to and about to expand to Ukraine and puts NATO troops there to threaten Russia, not just hurtful sayings.

so? its ukraine's decision and its land, no other country should have a say if they want to put troops on it.

 

[beijingwalker]

US will make Ukraine fight till the last Ukrainian standing, for US to weaken Russia

 

[Trango Towers]

There is no reason for ceasefire.

Ukraine lose a lot in manpower and some in land area but they stood their ground and slowly and steady not only keeping Russia in check in those occupied lands but also winning back some territory. It would be foolish to give up now especially when Russia's losses are higher now. They should keep fighting and gain as much territory as possible.

Correction....NATO is standing up to Russia. Natai has forces on the ground...you would be 100% foolish to consider otherwise. Russia has not unleashed everything as Ukraine has operational transport network, electrify is working. Airports are working even airbase are operational. So Russia is still holding back. Did the west hold back in Iraq or Afghanistan or Libya? So let's not kid ourselves that under the leadership of a facist Jewish clown what nazi azov divisions the Ukrainians are winning

What if Russia and China started building military bases in Mexico? Placing combat troops there? Aircraft? Hypersonic missiles?

Not possible

 

[beijingwalker]

Not possible

But would US do nothing if China and Russia did? would US tolerate enemies to push all the way to their bedroom doors?

then its mexico's choice.

The United States knows that Russia's bottom line on the Ukraine issue is that Ukraine does not join NATO. When the US is going to raise interest rates, European money needs to flow to the US. It can encourage Ukraine to join NATO, intensify conflicts with Russia, and bomb pro-Russian groups in Ukraine, forcing Russia to launch a war.
The United States is still raising interest rates and does not agree to peace negotiations.

Forget cuban missile crisis man, USA will not allow Mexico to have a joint military base of China and Russia

 

[beijingwalker]

Russia is in the same situation with Ukraine.

 

[White and Green with M/S]

Well, Russia won't tolerate US/NATO meddling and presence in it's immediate neighborhood. The Russians have demonstrated this fact quite strongly. I am afraid your like or dislike won't change that fact.
