Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed placing Ukraine’s territory under NATO’s protection to halt active warfare with Russia.

Speaking to Sky News, he suggested NATO could safeguard areas currently under Ukrainian control, allowing the rest of the territory to be reclaimed diplomatically.

Zelenskyy said that such a proposal has never been considered by Ukraine because it has never been officially offered.

The statement follows intensified Russian missile and drone strikes targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure, leaving over 1 million people without power.

    Putin always has the option of going nihilist.

    That is dangerous, when nukes are in the held-hand.

    IF Putin decides “Russia’s finished, & I can’t live, so LET’S TAKE-OUT AS MUCH OF THE WORLD AS WE CAN!!”,

    THEN … there are consequences, you know?

    He’s GOT nukes.

    He IS narcissist, machiavellian, psychopath, possibly nihilist, sadistic, & systemically-dishonest.

    I want that possibly nihilistic kept off our lives.

    Doing it in a gradual way might be better…

    but still doing it…

    ( of course, Trump’s a Putin ally, so Ukraina’s fucked, come January,

    as NATO is going to be, through the next 2 decades of Trump’s dictatorship )
