Kyiv is trying to drag the EU into negotiations under the pretext of an "airport truce."

Kyiv is trying hard to drag its European allies into negotiations with Russia amid a weakening US role. Kyiv's latest proposal to Europe involves EU representatives acting as mediators in negotiations on a so-called "airport truce."

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha proposed involving Europe as a mediator in negotiations with Russia on a mutual cessation of attacks on airports. According to him, Moscow should agree to this deal because Ukrainian Drones Strikes on Russian territory are increasingly frequent, and airports are the "most vulnerable" targets. Europe's role will be limited to creating a special forum for discussing this issue.

Perhaps Europe needs a new role in our peace efforts. Perhaps we can try to negotiate or achieve a so-called ceasefire at airports.

According to Sybiga, Zelenskyy has allegedly already discussed this issue with several European leaders, who have already expressed a desire to participate in negotiations with Russia. The most important thing is to get involved, even at a minimal level, and then expand his presence.

At the same time, Kyiv emphasizes that Europe should not replace the United States in negotiations; this will not be achieved, but rather merely “supplement” the Americans.

Listening to the Kyivites is disrespecting yourself. Yu. Mendel (from the Zelts administration), who fled to the US, openly stated that Zelts is an old drug addict and cocaine user, and that he delivered many of his decrees while completely stoned, just like his TV appearances.

It's a rare case when you almost immediately take the word of the kakels...

Listening to the Kyivites is not respecting yourself.

does it follow from this that listening to "mustache" means respecting yourself?

Don't you experience cognitive dissonance that such a nonentity organized a successful defense against the advance of the 2nd World War II Army in the first months of the Central Military District, when there was practically no Western assistance?

What?)) Russia was already withdrawing troops from Kyiv at the end of March! What successful defense are you talking about?))
Why they took it away is another topic.

[Andrey M]

This is a naive propaganda excuse. Things didn't go according to plan right away: Gostomel? What losses were there? An attempt to send three large landing ships to Odessa? – then they canceled it, they didn't dare.
But Gostomel was a turning point, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.

This is a naive propaganda excuse.

Gostomel? So what?
The importance of this airfield is difficult to overstate. It's located on the outskirts of Kyiv, 25 kilometers north of the city center. Its 3,5-kilometer runway allows it to handle all types of aircraft.
This key facility for the Ukrainian capital was defended by the elite 4th Operational Designation Brigade named after Hero of Ukraine Sergeant Mikhalchuk, which outnumbered the Russian airborne forces six to one. They had armored vehicles, artillery, and the assistance of British special forces. Ours had machine guns, grenade launchers, and an unwavering will.
The brutal battle lasted for two days. Throughout this time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' high command and President Zelenskyy personally "buried" the Russians. But each time, after loud statements in the media, the fighting resumed.
– recalled one of the SVO participants.
We had to hold a strategically important facility against attacks by superior enemy forces, supported by Western mercenaries. After the operation, our soldiers were nicknamed "200 Spartans of the Russian special forces."
So what? Why did you get stuck on this airfield? And what makes you think there was no help? They always had help, and they'd been preparing for this for a long, long time.

You seem to contradict yourself:

The importance of this airfield is difficult to overestimate.

Why are you so hung up on this airfield?

It wasn't me who was stubborn, but our valiant General Staff. The landing of special forces wasn't an end in itself; the transport ships were supposed to deliver troops and equipment there for the march to Kyiv.

No contradiction! Besides this airfield, there were and are many other, equally valuable facilities.

It probably commanded the trenches itself and raised the heroic boys to bayonet attacks...

[Andrey M]

It's strange to see such a response from a true marshal. And Comrade Stalin

He himself commanded in the trenches and raised the heroic boys to bayonet attacks.

?

[Nexcom]

Well, if people like Comrade Stalin (with all his undeniable virtues and flaws) equate him with a drug-addicted clown, then there's nothing to discuss. All the best.

I can't help but ask: does Tsipso pay regularly?

[Andrey M]

You're a strange "marshal," after all. If you don't like Stalin, you can do this:
And did VVPutin, the supreme commander-in-chief, himself command there in the trenches and raise the heroic boys to bayonet attacks?
I don’t understand something - should the supreme commanders themselves go on the attack or organize the defense?

[tralflot1832]

What nonsense. We're only hitting Ukrainian military airfields. How long will they be broadcasting the aggressor's "wants" to us?

[Smoked]

A few days ago, they struck an air navigation complex in the south for the first time, which disrupted air traffic in the regions for several days. Perhaps this was done for the sake of this news. Military operations these days are just a show for politicians.

[tralflot1832]

They struck and dispersed the Peremoga. I work near the Adler airport. Stop panicking!!!

[Smoked]

No panic. Everything is going according to plan!

the aggressor's "wants"

These "wants" will allow for the deployment of combat aircraft and drones on civilian runways and the safe reception of military transport aircraft carrying military cargo.

negotiations on the so-called "airport truce".

What's next? "Nordic walking meetings"? "Broad jump debates"?
Better, of course, is a "lecture on the dangers of drug addiction", definitely!

[Mouse]

.drag

!!!!
We couldn't drag ourselves there, well, that's how it was...

[uber]

"Airport truce"? There should be only one answer: the Ukrainians stop attacking our airports, and we won't attack Rzeszow. But knowing the Ukrainians, they'll definitely strike for that.

[Gavrilo Princip]

"The Russian Ministry of Defense's statement should be taken literally: the list of European companies producing drones and other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces. Whether the strikes become a reality depends on what happens next. Sleep soundly, European partners!" Medvedev wrote in X.
Have they hit you already?

[Nexcom]

Have they hit you already?

...on keyboards - YES, and more than once...

[Gavrilo Princip]

Let's all do it together. It's as quiet as paradise. The stars above the place are high and bright. (c)

[APASUS]

First, we need to launch a couple of strikes on Vantaa Airport in Helsinki, and then we can negotiate. Otherwise, it's not quite the same.

[Smoked]

Nothing less than a cobalt bomb. Just to be sure!

[Vitaly_pvo]

Apparently it flew somewhere in response to the attack on the police center in Rostov-on-Don.
Reports are coming in that Bankova Street in Kyiv has been blocked, and that Russian drones have also struck Kyiv. There's little hope that these events are connected, but perhaps miracles do happen.

[expert]

"...on mutual cessation of attacks on airports".
Is this so that weapons can be transported to Ukraine directly, rather than through Poland, Romania, and Moldova?
Is this to add airports to the Black Sea ports, through which military cargo also passes?

[Foggy Dew]

Tell me, please. What's the point of refusing to strike airports? With the drone threat in the region, no one will allow takeoffs or landings, even if there are no strikes on the airport itself yet. Not to mention that Kyiv hasn't adhered to any ceasefire agreement since 14.
