🤬Ukraine's #Zelensky ditches #NATO ambition ahead of peace talksThe move marks a major shift for #Ukraine, which has fought to join NATO as a safeguard against #Russia attacks & has such an aspiration included in its #constitution. It also meets one of Russia's #war aims, although Kyiv has so far held firm against ceding #territory to Moscow.#geopolitics #StandWithUkraine https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/zelenskiy-demands-dignified-peace-us-ukraine-officials-meet-berlin-2025-12-14/?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=notifications&utm_campaign=2025_engagement

#Zelensky said on Sunday that the #US, #Europe & other partners' #security guarantees instead of #NATO membership were a compromise on #Ukraine's side."From the very beginning, Ukraine's desire was to join NATO, these are real security guarantees. Some partners from the US & Europe did not support this direction," he said in answer to questions from reporters in a WhatsApp chat.#geopolitics #Russia #war #StandWithUkraine

"Thus, today, bilateral #security guarantees between #Ukraine & the #US, Article 5-like guarantees for us from the US, & security guarantees from European colleagues, as well as other countries — #Canada, #Japan — are an opportunity to prevent another Russian invasion," #Zelensky said."And it is already a compromise from our part," he said, adding that the security guarantees should be legally binding.#geopolitics #Europe #Russia #war #StandWithUkraine

Russian President Vladimir #Putin has repeatedly demanded that #Ukraine officially renounce its #NATO ambitions & withdraw #troops from the about 10% of #Donbas which Kyiv still controls. Moscow has also said that Ukraine must be a neutral country & that no NATO troops can be stationed in Ukraine.#geopolitics #Europe #US #Russia #war #StandWithUkraine

Russian sources said earlier this year that #Putin wants a "written" pledge by major Western powers not to enlarge the [formerly] #US-led #NATO alliance eastwards - shorthand for formally ruling out membership to #Ukraine, #Georgia, #Moldova & other former Soviet republics.#geopolitics #Europe #Russia #war #StandWithUkraine

…Although the exact make-up of the meetings on Sunday & Monday have not been made public, a #US official said #Trump envoy #SteveWitkoff & son-in-law #JaredKushner were travelling to Germany for talks involving Ukrainians & Europeans.The choice to send Witkoff, who has led negotiations with #Ukraine & #Russia on a US “peace” proposal, appeared to be a signal that Washington sees a chance of “progress”….#WarProfiteering #kleptocracy #geopolitics #Europe #war #StandWithUkraine

@Nonilex Trump has repeatedly shown his disaffection with NATO and his disinclination to support NATO allies.NATO without the USA would be like the Warsaw Pact without the USSR so perhaps it should be allowed to wither. Better to concentrate on the UN and the EU.

@peterbrown @Nonilex That is a pretty bad take. Here is why: NATO has a 40+ year history of standardization, interoperability, and especially joint exercises+ operations. It trains people to work together. That's what it does all the time, year in and year out.Its standards go from ammunition & tires to NBC training & cyber security. Throwing all of that away would be an incredible waste of time and money. Even the EU is aligned with NATO in that respect.

@gemlogBrexit is not just lunacy: it was financed, aided and abetted by Russia, its government and its oligarchs.The FSB propaganda machine worked full time to make sure mediocre little fascists like Farage could spew Moscow talking points 24/7.Putin's plan was always to crack the EU apart and make sure the US was paralysed by internal strife. I say he has succeeded pretty well so far.@peterbrown @Nonilex
