Not once did I mention the word surrender. And condemning Ukrainians to death and slavery? Excuse me, but it's the Western Europeans who are funding this war, giving Zelensky everything he needs since day dot, along with the US. Not to mention taking in millions of refugees! So you can't turn around and say we don't care about them. But we cannot fund this war forever and that's a plain fact.

Whether you like it or not, US and EU citizens are soon going to demand a cease to the aid in order to sort out our own cost of living and inflation crises at home, so it's in Ukraine and Russia's best interest to start their negotiations now.

And I have no idea what you're talking about Russian propaganda - we're not even allowed to hear a peep out of Russia because all their media's been censored. All we see is the occasional speech from Putin that's it.
