BREAKING — Chief Russian negotiator says Russia isn’t against Ukraine joining the EU

What’s the Ukraine proposal?

1- Guarantors will intervene if Russia attacks after three days of consultations. They may provide arms, or impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine

2- In return, Ukraine becomes non-aligned, non-nuclear state, with no foreign bases but can join EU

 

[Apollon]

well your father is not here in this forum. maybe there is a possibility of better discussions then.

After reunion, west germany had to spend gargantuan amounts of money to bring east germany on similar living conditions. Houses were breaking down, streets were broken, the entire country was grey and broken apart.

There is a reason why the east germans fired that regime to hell.

First point sounds like a defensive alliance. They want Poland, Turkey etc to be part of it, which are NATO countries.

You can see the problem with that for Russia.

Another benefit of fast reactors: plenty of Pu239

Only if you configure them as fast breaders. Not if you configure them as fast burners. I talk about fast burners. There is no breading wall in the fast burners, so all fast neutrons are used to splitt Plutonium and other transuranites into lower elements while enough energy for comerzial use is left.

You can say what you want. The world recognizes east germany as a sporting and science powerhouse. liberal west has a megaphone on propaganda and counter narratives get drowned.
Under no circumstances can east germany be considered dirt poor in anyway and neither is west that rich. At one point in 70s i think even UK was close to entire Soviet union in per capita gdp.

East Germany was richest among the poor of the East bloc. However if comparing to west Germany, East Germany was an extremely poor country. People standing in long queue for banana. People wanting to buy a car had to wait 20 years. The cars made in East Germany were terrible bad and primitive. I was there.

I am pretty sure the fighter and chopper in this video are Russian made. The fighter is Mig-29 and the chopper is Mi-8/17

Ok. Thanks for the correction.

Top US general in Europe says there 'could be' an intelligence gap in US that caused US to overestimate Russia's capabilities

The top US general in Europe said Tuesday there "could be" a gap in US intelligence gathering that caused the US to overestimate Russia's capability and underestimate Ukraine's defensive abilities before Russia attacked Ukraine.

Blinken: US hasn't seen signs Russia is serious in talks with Ukraine​

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that he has not seen signs the talks between Ukraine and Russia are “moving forward in an effective way” because the US has not seen “signs of real seriousness” by Russia.

“There is what Russia says, and there is what Russia does. We’re focused on the latter,” said Blinken at a joint press conference with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.

Blinken cautioned that Russia saying it would be reducing hostilities around Kyiv could be “a means by which Russia once again is trying to deflect and deceive people into thinking it’s not doing what it is doing.”

“If they somehow believe that an effort to subjugate “only,” in quotation marks, the eastern part of Ukraine and the southern part of Ukraine can succeed, then once again they are profoundly fooling themselves,” said Blinken.

Blinken called for Russia to “end the aggression now, stop firing, pull its forces back and of course engage in talks.”

Russian negotiator: De-escalation around Kyiv and Chernihiv "is not a ceasefire"

Ukraine invited to join meeting of NATO foreign ministers next week​

Ukraine and a number of non-NATO countries have been invited to attend part of a two-day meeting of NATO foreign ministers next week, according to a statement from the military alliance headquartered in Brussels.

NATO said “the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Australia, Finland, Georgia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Sweden and Ukraine, as well as the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs” will attend one session of the meeting on April 7.

Some of ministers “may attend via video link,” the statement added.

Foreign ministers from the 30 NATO countries will convene for the second time since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The session follows last week’s high-level meeting of NATO leaders for an extraordinary summit on the crisis.

The US overestimates it’s adversaries capabilities. I’ve always said this.

That’s a breach of contract.
There is no way Germany will join Russia or China payment system.

No gas, oil, or other minerals for them from Russia then. I think people are missing the point here: The West including Germany sanctioned Russia by freezing all Russian assets in their banks. That means, Russians can't access any funds that Germany and others would use to buy Russian products. So if someone is taking your stuff but not giving you your money, you can't continue selling your products, or he or she can use currency that you have control over. There are no contracts violated; the Western sanctions are causing Russia to demand Ruble for Oil and Gas payments.

East germany had almost 70% of gdp per capita as west germany. Anyone can put a spin on anything, whatever it may be its completely different from your claims that if russia rules germany it will be hellscape.

As far as i know there was never any shortage of food in germany. Yes they did not have 2 dozen varieties of cornflakes or fruits - but bread, meat, housing, public transport was cheap and plenty.
