Russia saying they stand for peace is absolutely absurd. Everyone around the world knows it is Russia who is the aggressor.
>"If the talks are rejected, the Ukrainian side shall bear all responsibility for bloodshed," Medinsky said. "But we remain here until 15:00 waiting for a response from the Ukrainian side."
On the contrary. Russia bears ALL responsibility hence forth regardless of anything Russia ever says or does.
>"We are waiting. Everyone is in Gomel waiting. If they come then there will be negotiations," Lukashenko
Oh ya, I bet they are waiting. I bet China is on the brink of breaking their alliance.
You must remember, China hates Russia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_of_Peking
The UK used to own Hong Kong, Portugal Macau. Those were rightfully returned to China.
Russia still holds Chinese land.
If you also look at it, China was going to uphold the right for these new republics to exist.Casting significant doubt on China's intention to invade Taiwan.
I wrote here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30471021 about how Russian spies have infiltrated Canadian media. They pushed utter lies that Canadians are nazis. For example, https://globalnews.ca/news/8543281/covid-trucker-convoy-orga...
You will notice this Russian spy: https://globalnews.ca/author/rachel-gilmore/ stopped publishing quite abruptly. At exactly the same time the russian invasion was happening and the Canadian government getting wise. Did she escape back to Russia or did the RCMP pick her up? We may never know.
We must also face the possibility that our perception of China has been manipulated by Russian spies. That China is actually our ally and Xi Jinping no longer believes in territorial borders or at least any need to move them. China's very long history has never been about expansion. The list of wars involving China is quite small.
