  Ukrainians: Fight to defend their country from Russian attack

  Western countries who don’t like what Russia is doing help Ukrainians

  Some silly person online: YOU’RE FIGHTING AN AMERICAN PROXY WAR

  They’re just trying to defend their country.

  And when they attempted peace talks before, their western handlers ordered them to keep fighting.

  What’s this referring to?

      I don’t know what that means tbh.

      The article and the relevant section from Wikipedia both describe how the talks failed on multiple issues, with one part being the refusal of giving security guarantees.

      Speaking further and explaining Kyiv’s refusal to accept the proposal, Arakhamia said that it would require a constitutional change, given that Ukraine’s Constitution states its intention to become a NATO member.

      Additionally, he emphasized a lack of trust in the Russian position.

      “There is no, and there was no, trust in the Russians that they would do it. That could only be done if there were security guarantees.”

      Arahamiya clarified that signing such an agreement without guarantees would have left Ukraine vulnerable to a second incursion.

        So you believe the Ukrainian officials confirming this are lying?

        The Wikipedia entries are maintained by western propagandists. I wouldn’t put much faith in the credibility.
