    CNN acting like Russia is proposing some legitimate ceasefire and humanitarian evacuation routes, and giving them any ounce of credibility, is embarrassing

    they are proposing only that Ukrainians are allowed to evacuate to Russia or Belarus...so they can be used as political props.

    I had to stop watching their coverage tbh. they’ve been sensationalizing all aspects of this war. you’d think every major city was surrounded and yet russia is acting in good faith wrt these negotiations

    So gross. About as bad as an Israeli official telling Axios today that Ukraine and Russia talks are at a cross roads and it’s basically up to Zelensky to accept tough demands and stop the war. What a bullshit way to frame this.

    Actually it’s the more better win-win-win. Great conflict resolution by the US, Ukraine, and Poland.

    It’s absolutely insane that a ex foreign defense minister is out just fighting a war for another country voluntarily on the front lines

    this is one weird war

    Bloomberg: Beijing is discussing with state-owned companies potential investments in Russian companies or assets that have fallen in price.

    Economic dependence on a powerful neighbor - that's what I understand, real sovereignty!

    I realize this could be a joke, but I never got how people can reconcile these conspiracies that allegedly deceive billions and nothing ever comes out about, and the fact that they leave hints.
