Reuters: Blinken Warns Against Peace Efforts That Would Reward Russian Aggression
HELSINKI/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday warned against any peace initiatives that could help legitimize Russia's seizure of Ukrainian territory, saying a "just and durable" peace effort should address accountability and reconstruction.
Delivering what U.S. officials described as a highlight speech that lays out Washington's view of 16 months of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Blinken said over the coming weeks and months some countries were likely to call for a ceasefire.
But for any peace effort to be lasting, he laid out, it requires Ukraine's "full participation and assent" and should support Ukraine's reconstruction and recovery, with Moscow paying its share, Blinken said.

Hey Blinkie, did the US pay for any of Iraq’s reconstruction and recovery?
It's actually kind of a weak position. Russia doesn't want a ceasefire and could very easily be made to look worse by having one proposed to them. But Blinken is scared of getting Lavrov'd and having his bluff called like John Kerry and the Syria redline.
No risk no reward, Ant'ny.
saying a "just and durable" peace effort should address
Jesus. Blinken sounds like the Japanese ambassador just before The atrack on Pearl Harbour. Creepy..
The latest from a Zelinski interview
Admitting the persistent difficulty of superior Russian airpower, Zelensky conceded that "a large number of soldiers will die" in the counteroffensive but still emphasized that his troops are "stronger and more motivated" than Russia’s.
What a joke. He truly is a sicko. This is exactly what the generals in WW1 said...
elan and espirit de corps will win the battle.
What egotistical drivel....yea that thinking worked real good at the Somme and Ypres.
That hill is worth 10000 men.....Generous bastard Zelinski.
Hes being realistic about losses , it's not a video game. Russia will say no one died
Blinkin dont care if more Ukies die. Neither does zelinsky
Yes another Day of WNU and his jackasses riding shotgun on this blog like it was a stage coach.
"Milley Personally Wrote Iran Invasion Plan, Pushed Trump to Attack"
So the secret documents about Iran may be Milley's 4 page typed invasion plans for Iran?
If that got out it would be so embarrassing for Milley and others in Washington.
I am all for going after the Ayatollah's but the spadework has not been done. also there are other alternatives to try first or consider.
The archivist's thing is looking like a DC cover up.
Ok so losses will be high. A large number. Great. Hope he and that dopey defence minister lead the charge
HEY RUSSIAN TROLL. THE US DOES NOT HAVE DEFENCE MINISNTERS ASSHOLE.
