- Just one month after the start of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine, Ukrainian and Russian negotiators had come very close to an agreement for a ceasefire and to an outline for a comprehensive peace solution to the conflict.
- Contrary to Western interpretations, Ukraine and Russia agreed at the time that the planned NATO expansion was the reason for the war. They therefore focused their peace negotiations on Ukraine’s neutrality and its renunciation of NATO membership. In return, Ukraine would have retained its territorial integrity except for Crimea.
In March 2022, direct peace negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations and mediation efforts by the then Israeli Prime Minster, Naftali Bennet created a genuine chance for ending the war peacefully only four to five weeks after Russia had invaded Ukraine.
In the interview, Bennett explained further: “I had the impression at the time that both sides were very interested in a ceasefire (…). According to Bennett, a cease-fire was within reach at that time, and both sides were prepared to make considerable concessions…. But Britain and the U.S., in particular, wanted this peace process to end and set their sights on a continuation of the war.”
He [German chancellor Gerhard Schroder] said: “At the peace negotiations in March 2022 in Istanbul with Rustem Umerov (then security advisor to Zelensky, now Ukrainian defense minister), the Ukrainians did not agree to peace because they were not allowed to. They first had to ask the Americans about everything they discussed,”
Direct negotiations between a Ukrainian and a Russian delegation had already been underway since late February 2022, and in the third week of March, “only a month after the outbreak of the war, they (had) agreed on the broad outlines of a peace settlement. Ukraine promised not to join NATO and not to allow military bases of foreign powers on its territory, while Russia promised in return to recognize Ukraine’s territorial integrity and to withdraw all Russian occupation troops. Special arrangements were made for the Donbas and Crimea.”
Proposal 3: Ukraine commits not to join any military coalition and not to host any foreign military bases or troop contingents. Any international military exercises would be possible only with the consent of the guarantor states. For their part, the Guarantor States confirm their intention to promote Ukraine’s membership in the European Union.
Proposal 8: The desire of the parties to resolve the issues related to Crimea and Sevastopol will be included in bilateral negotiations between Ukraine and Russia for a period of 15 years. Ukraine and Russia also commit not to resolve these issues by military means and to continue diplomatic resolution efforts.
Michael von der Schulenburg, former UN Assistant Secretary-General (ASG) in UN peace missions, writes that “NATO had already decided at a special summit on March 24, 2022, not to support these peace negotiations (between Ukraine and Russia).”

It is unfortunate russian diplomatic trust is so low it came to this. This could have all been avoided if russia had not violated it's agreement with ukraine, guaranteed sovereignty for surrendering it's nuclear arsenal on dissolution of the ussr.
No, it's because the people within the Biden admin are reddit-brained r*tards who believe nonsense like Russiagate.

Instead we get the ukronazis throwing out russian stooges and the dpr and lpr splitting
I'm sure the US administration and local interests did their part to ensure the war continues, the war that russia started
That's the thing about wars, you can choose when to start them, but all sides have to agree for them to end

The Biden admin is likely divided over this, and I'll be shocked if we don't eventually discover that the Pentagon was adamantly opposed to such an escalation due to the strain it would put on America's military stockpiles, among other reasons.

Pentagon brass respond by dragging their feet everywhere that they can by, for instance, arguing that Western air defense systems would have to be manned by NATO troops (European militaries don't contradict them because they don't want to drain their stockpiles either).
A situation where the Biden Administration is staffed with affirmative action imbeciles makes more sense than the DoD being this stupid.

I agree with what jones wrote and moreover the whole "arggh putin started the war" is willfully naiive
willfully naive is being so brain broken by the dumbass neoliberals running western governments that you suck putin's dick lmao
The Pentagon obviously didn't want to arm Ukraine because those weapons are allotted for the slaughtering of white flyover Americans in 2024.
We need to deal with ohio before it becomes a serious problem
