Summary

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warned that if Ukraine falls to Russia, the conflict could spread to European cities, as Putin might target the EU next.

Kuleba emphasized Ukraine’s NATO membership as critical to preventing future wars, dismissing security guarantees as insufficient.

He criticized potential peace settlements at Ukraine’s territorial expense, stressing the need for Moscow to negotiate in good faith.

Amid escalating attacks on Ukraine, Kuleba defended counter-escalation using U.S.-supplied weapons, while Trump criticized Biden’s support for strikes inside Russia.

    Yeah but we want cheaper groceries now, so we’re all just going to elect fascists instead.

    Theres already war on fucking european cities streets because ukraine is europe. This is the exact giveaway that they dont support ukraine at all and just want to protect their asses. While i do think ukraine is an important buffer state i also think that the 40 million people living there(and the other 90 or something million people who live in european states bordering russia) have their own lives and rights and should be respected.

    Seriously - this will be the time when the rest of the world will find out whether they can win against Russia without ( or against ) US support, since we elected Putin’s cock holster a few weeks ago.

      Against the US? No. Unequivocally not happening, no. Against just Russia? Pick three EU nations at random and their combined might would exceed Russia’s with only moderate effort. The EU has been fairly lackadaisical about putting in the effort, which is the main obstacle.

        Yeah this war has revealed just how strong Russia is not. They thought they would take Kiev in 3 days and have still not done so after 3 years. Ukraine + Syrian Rebels = too much for them, let alone 3 European nations.

          It’s not because of anything but the US sending money and weapons to Ukraine, otherwise, they’d be done.

            Yes western armaments have been key. I still think it’s telling that Russia cannot dominate a much smaller foe that’s working with an on-again / off-again pastiche of foreign armaments they aren’t always trained for.

        But according to Lemmy and Reddit, the US needs to do more, send more money, because you know, we’re the World Police when other countries need us…

          If the US wants the power, it takes the responsibility. If it doesn’t take the responsibility, it will lose that power.

          Russia and China would be happy to take the position vacated. If the EU got it’s act together, it could also be a contender (but it’s not looking like it will at the moment with its own Putin backed popularists).

      I really with the left would stop acting like Trump is going to just give Putin anything he wants. Trump has no intention in allowing Russia to just take over whoever they want. His goal is to play a better role in trying to stop the war, unlike Biden who just keeps giving billions and billions of dollars, no questions asked…

        “I really wish the left would stop acting like Trump is going to try to remain president if he loses the election. Trump has no intention of trying to overturn a free and fair election.”

    The same Russia struggling to take over Ukraine alone is somehow going to take over Europe? Please. While we need to beat back Russia, there is no use in exaggerated fearmongering. It does more harm than good.

    I always hate love to see the selective fearmongering the “anti-war” faction engages in. Russia keeping going after overtaking Ukraine and starting wars with other european nations? Fearmongering! Russia glassing the world with nukes if they can’t get Ukraine? Credible threat!

    I think this is a scare tactic to get the US to give more money. There’s no way Putin does anything after Ukraine. He can’t, first of all… because he’ll have little to no resources, and also, the international community won’t allow him too.
