Funny way of going about it, given that they've offered terns of peace every few months and negotiated a ceasefire that the US and its vassal the UK vetoed (hmmm ๐Ÿค”) a few months in.

Quote:

When we returned from Istanbul, [then-British Prime Minister] Boris Johnson came to Kiev and said: โ€˜Do not sign anything with them at all; just go to war,โ€™โ€ Arakhamia said.

Rather than report [the real demands] to the public, however, the media in Europe and the U.S. focused on sensational statements that were not actually part of those negotiations.
