Politico: Ukraine sees no way to negotiate peace with Putin after war crimes warrant
Kyiv sees Putin’s abduction of children as part of a genocidal attempt to wipe out its culture and identity.
KYIV — Last week’s international arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin over the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia has made it impossible for Kyiv to accept Russia’s president as a potential interlocutor for any peace deal to end the war.
The International Criminal Court issued its warrant on Friday. The crime of children being forcibly taken to Russia is especially sensitive as Ukrainian and Western lawyers identify the deportations as falling within the legal definition of genocide, as part of an attempt to wipe out Ukrainian cultural identity.
Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the Ukrainian president’s office head and representative of Ukrainian negotiations group in Istanbul, promptly tweeted that identifying Putin as “an obvious international criminal directly means there will be no negotiations with the current Russian elite.”

WNU Editor: The Russia - Ukraine war can only end through diplomacy. But if the Russian leadership is labelled as war criminals by the West, there is no avenue for such diplomacy to take place. Bottom line. There is no off-ramp to end this war.
Greta would approve
ReplyDeleteThat's bullshit.
ReplyDeleteSimple solution. Just ignore it for the political crap it is.
Other wise , war forever.
The US wanted this war. The US set up a pattern of actions to instigate this war. The US is prolonging this war. Bottom line. The US does not want this war to end
So, The surprise is?
The war will end, when Russia loses.
ReplyDelete"They tell how the Russian state media, controlled by Putin, is lying over supposed successes in the war.
'We are in danger,' the men say in footage from close to the frontline.
'This is the village of Vodiane near Donetsk, where our media say that we are advancing successfully.
'In fact, this is not true… There are very, very big losses here.
'We sat under the open fire of mortars and artillery for 14 days. We suffered huge losses, 34 wounded, 22 dead. Our company commander was killed.'
They complained they faced well-equipped Ukrainian troops with machine guns, mortars and tanks with little means to respond.
The men - who appear to be from Kaliningrad - blamed the deputy commander of their brigade, named as Colonel Ilya Ivanov, for 'giving criminal orders' and said that at gunpoint he 'did not let us out of position'."
Well maybe that is why they did it. Above comments help.
ReplyDeletePutin's love child Greta does approve. Daddy does not visit or acknowledge her.

ReplyDeleteThe US leadership class digs it's hole ever deeper. My late Grandfather once explained to me, when you find yourself in a hole, the best thing you can do is STOP DIGGING!!
ReplyDeleteDisgusting that these lawyers are debasing the term genocide by applying it to russian orphans being rescued from of a combat zone.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder we don't recognize the ICC.
Rescued..🤣
DeleteThis is no different than Russia labeling Zelensky as a nazi leader, which they have been doing.
ReplyDeleteBut of course, Putin gets labelled as a war criminal and suddenly there's no 'off-ramp'...
your grandfather should have told you that when you dig that hole then you got yourself into the mess. If Putin is charged with this or that, he would not be sitting down for any negotiations to end the war but would have his envoys do that. Do you think if he died the war could not be ended? or if in hospital very sick the war could not be ended.
ReplyDeleteNo that is all wrong. All this is is more made up NATO narrative to make the Russians look evil and the West look legitimate. When nothing is further from the truth.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that the court is crap. Probably paid off from the US and the US can now use this as a lame excuse to prolong the war.
