Apparently, the Hohols have finally begun to figure out that it’s not worth sending your entire population of men to die in a war that has literally nothing to do with you.
I’ve been consistently shocked at the suicidal stupidity of these people. But at some point, some of them were going to have to start asking “what exactly is the point of this?”
RT:
A growing number of Ukrainians would like to see Kiev launch peace talks with Moscow, the head of the National Security and Defense Council, Aleksey Danilov, admitted on Thursday. The top security official claimed the development was a “very dangerous tendency.”
“[One should] bear in mind that those [people advocating talks with Russia] are growing in numbers. It is a very dangerous tendency when even people in western Ukraine are starting to talk about such things,” Danilov said during a live appearance on the Ukrainian talk show ‘Greater Lviv speaks’, as cited by RIA Novosti. He also referred to a local politician in the western Lviv region who reportedly called on Kiev to sit down at the negotiating table with Moscow.
Russia has repeatedly indicated that it is open to communicating with Ukraine if its leaders accept Moscow’s conditions and recognize what the Kremlin calls the “reality on the ground.” In autumn 2022, four former Ukrainian regions, including the two Donbass republics, officially joined Russia following referendums. Kiev described the vote as a “sham” and insisted all four territories remained part of Ukraine, along with Crimea, which joined Russia in 2014 following a referendum in the wake of the Maidan coup.
As we know, Zelensky wanted to negotiate peace by agreeing to cede land and remain neutral an entire year ago, in March of 2022. The US State Department came in and told him that peace was not an option.
Since then, he’s doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on fighting an eternal war and actually claims to be planning to invade and conquer Russia.
But now, having failed to really harm Russia with this war, many in Washington are looking for a way out. They’re concerned that resources are being squandered and Western populations are losing their enthusiasm for war, just as they’ve become fixated on starting a war with the Chinese.
Saying “the Ukraine population is tired and they’re sick of dying in a hopeless fight” would certainly contribute to a narrative about why the US is surrendering.
Presumably, a significant percentage of Ukrainians have been desiring peace for a while now, and no one knows because the country is a brutal dictatorship where anyone who disagrees with the government risks being disappeared.
