  1. I have a feeling that this will not happen in the case of Russia. It will take Europe a long time to trust any Russian leader, especially one that keeps changing the rules so that they remain in power.

  2. The point of the war is to subjugate Ukraine and make it a vassal state of Russia. Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet Union so he can be a Soviet hero. (Putin said it was to rescue Ukraine from Nazis, but seeing as there are only about 1,000 Nazis in Ukraine, and none in any positions of power, the Ukranians didn't want any help from Russia.)

  3. I expect they will cancel Nordstream. Russia and Russians have shown that they cannot be trusted. It will be a hundred years before anyone in the world believes anything a Russian says.

  4.  @kennedykaram516  The Ukranians are making them beg.

  5. Russia will pay for the rebuilding. The Peace talks between Ukraine and Russian are likely to agree this.

  6.  @Puzzoozoo  The Azoz brigade should have been shut down by the Ukranian government, but the government only came into power in 2019, so it's not surprising that they hadn't managed to do that yet. The current Ukranian government was in dialog with Putin, but Putin did not wait or support the new government, he invaded, presumably hoping that they would not be able to mount an effective resistance, or that the military would not yet be loyal to them. This was a fatal mistake.

  7. Putin has messed around with Russia for the last time. He will not survive this catastrophe for Russia.

  8. If he brokers a peace deal with Putin, he may well get a Peace Prize. I hope that he can broker a deal that means no more Russians or Ukranians lose their lives, but which also sees Russia pay for the damage and destruction they have caused.

  9.  @lucicerlanfe3897  Being a member of NATO does not mean having weapons of mass destruction on Russia's door step. Your reply is pure Russian paranoia. NATO can NEVER be an aggressor. The Treaty doesn't allow it.

  10.  @Anonymous-il9pb  The North Atlantic Treaty does not guarantee that NATO would not move closer to Russia. It is not a treaty with Russia! The Treaty DOES ensure that NATO can never be an aggressor. NATO and the West means Russia no harm. We were quite happy to trade with you, but when you invade a sovereign state, you have to expect consequences. Putin has destroyed any chance of progress in Russia for the next 100 years, possibly longer.

  11. Putin doesn't want NATO to fight, he wants to keep Ukraine without any military aid. He is looking to close down any corridors by which weapons can reach Ukraine, but he knows he can't fire on NATO planes if they are outside of Ukraine. The one thing that would bring NATO into the war is to allow any nuclear power plant, including Chernobyl to start leaking radiation. He can use chemical weapons and thermobaric weapons with impunity. NATO will not defend Ukraine, but it will defend Europe for nuclear pollution.

  12. Russia felt threatened by a neighbour that did not want to be controlled by them in the way they control Belarus. Russia felt threatened before any weapons were sent.

  13. Putin represents Putin, nothing else.
