Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday said he supports the deployment of Western troops to Ukraine as one of the “best instruments” to “force Russia to peace.”
The Ukrainian leader also said Europe was entering a “new chapter” of cooperation and would have “new opportunities” with Donald Trump returning to the White House later this month. […]
Maybe he should focus on realistic outcomes.
EDIT: Downvote all you want; I’m pro-Ukraine, but there is no chance of Western boots on the ground there.
Russia gets foreign troops, why not Ukraine?
Nukes. That’s the only reason Russia is still even on the map.
They’ve said nukes before every single new type of aid.
I didn’t say it was fair, I said realistic.
They said the same thing about tanks and F-16s
But conquering a collapsing russia is not something he cares to do…
Maintaining most parts of Russia is not what Russia wants to do either, lol. And many are afraid that local governments, frustrated by how it doesn’t work, would want to fight with neighbors to save face. But that’s a whole other story.
