@adsfwef1331 says the fact that they broke every treaty and agreement they ever made with Ukraine with respect to its sovereignty, thinking of 1994, 1997, and 2003 specifically. The treaty would be worthless.

@michaelwilson9921 she didn't say that. She said keeping Putin diplomatically engaged delayed the invasion. She was covering her arse for the failure of her appeasement policy btw, for which she has been heavily criticised at home in Germany. She was basically trying to defend her much tarnished legacy.

Having lived in Russia, allowing the Russians to think they've won by ceding territory, would be a fatal mistake. I cannot stress this strongly enough. This conflict is being driven by toxic masculinity, which must be dissuaded from violent acts. Every Russian I met in a position of power in society was like this, devoid of morals as we understand them, excited by the notion of spreading destruction westwards.

We did establish the cities of Donetzk and Lughansk, because uou didn't have the technology to produce steel, and we did. But I'm not aware that Ukraine was ever a part of the British Empire. Actually, the Russian Empire formally annexed it in around 1700, and held it until its collapse in 1917. It was nominally a sovereign soviet republic until 1991, but as Lithuania found out in 1988, when it tried to leave the USSR (forcibly annexed by Stalin in 1940 btw.), it was a vassal state.

Scholz will be rubbing his hands at the chance to buy cheap gas again. I don't trust that guy at all.
