Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

#Zelenskyy said a deal with #Russia is pointless w/o #security #guarantees.

Here’s why: #Kyiv made this mistake before.

#Moscow broke ceasefire after #Minsk agreements. International lawyer Oleksandr watched it all unfold.

International lawyer Oleksandr Merezhko knows the price of #negotiations with the Russians.

And it’s measured in blood.

While the Ukrainian delegation in #Minsk was looking for ways to come to peace, #Russia was preparing for a new war. While #Ukraine was trying to stop the fighting, the Kremlin was violating agreements, building up its forces and waiting for the right moment to strike.

The only thing the #Minsk agreements gave #Ukraine was time, Merezhko believes, until the next #war.

On Friday we saw the sudden and explosive fracturing of the years-long U.S.-Ukrainian alliance, all unfolding in dramatic fashion before us in the Oval Office. The conversation escalated because #Zelenskyy dared to point out that diplomacy with #Russia has yielded more violence.

@timkmak …the gross, sickening, spectacle revealed our mental midget leadership trying to strong arm a true leader with their ‘because we said so’ argument. There could definitely be an element of causing this blow up, as an excuse to move towards assisting Russia obtain its goals in Ukraine. ☠️
