      Zelensky tells press conference: Our teams start from tomorrow on plans to hold a global peace conference in Switzerland

      It is critical that work continues on methods used by Russia to bypass sanctions

      We would want countries of the global south to be present at peace conference

      We are open to all countries that respect our sovereignty and territorial integrity at peace summit

      We would want China to be involved in our peace formula

      Apparently they are trying to beg global south including China to 180 their position for no reason and become fellow compradors to USA.

        It almost made a certain kind of sense when they thought their offensive would succeed. Like they’d brow beat Russia and then demand surrender on their terms, and countries supporting Russia would have no choice but to go along. However, now that their army is being crushed and western support is collapsing, this is just a complete farce.

    Peace talks without Russia? With hopes of countries in the Global South and China to participate? This is just more lip service, no peace will ever come from this if the opposition is not present. I doubt the Global South and China will want to waste their time with this shit.

      I think it’s pretty likely that there will be a military coup at some point and then actual negotiations on the terms of surrender will start.

        The problem is who will coup them? The fascists depleated themselves pretty badly on one hand but surely part of all the weapons that disapeared has gonne to them, so supposedly they are armed with war grade weaponery. There is probably widespread anti-war sentiment among the people, so the coup could come from some kind of popular movement who want the war to end, but who would lead it? The communist party or a popular front containing them? Do they currently have the ability to do that? I’m sure they could agitate and recrute pretty fast under these circumstances but them being an illegal party and the leaders being in prison make it difficult I suppose.

        I don’t know much about the political situation in Ukraine so those are just suppositions.

          I would expect it would be the military that will coup the civilian government once they realize that the war is lost. Most of the ideologically aligned and motivated people are dead at this point. So, the morale within the military is pretty low, and the understanding that they’re just being used as cannon fodder for NATO is sinking in. I don’t think there’s any chance of communists getting in power there. What’s most likely is that Russia will install a puppet regime as part of the terms of surrender.

            I remember reading in some Western newspaper that Russia wanted an interim government with Viktor Yanukovych as its leader. But I doubt that this was more than just anti-Russian propaganda. I believe Yanukovych is unpopular in Ukraine, and if they had a plan to set up a puppet government, it would probably just be a pro-Russian general.

        I’m wondering if Zelensky is trying to escape before some bullets find their way into his head.

    Lol. Imagine thinking you can have a peace conference that doesn’t include the winning side. Yet another stunt just like the last failed “peace conference” aka West+vassals get together for a circlejerk. I expect even less of the global south to attend this one.

    If Russia isn’t there, I don’t see the point.

    I suppose they could be checking with their owners if they would be allowed to surrender/negotiate with Russia. In which case the answer is probably no.

      We made a bunch of money selling weapons that were about to expire and then made a clean exotic and left that idiot holding the bag.

      Pretty sure every foreign policy ghoul considers this war a huge success.

      And besides liberals are just going to react to anybody saying ukraine lost like chuds react to Vietnam and make up excuses for why we weren’t allowed to win.

      The billions of dollars spent in Ukraine by the Federal Government are “recycled” back to the politicians and private corporations in America. The banks, institutional investors, oil and gas companies, military industrial complex all made a huge tons of money from the government spending there. Same with the billions of dollars spent in Israel.

    Death to America

      I think it’s funny how he’s reduced to begging the Baltic states now because nobody in western Europe wants to see him. Not like Baltics have anything to give.
