The Kremlin said Friday that the European Union’s refusal to lift sanctions on Russia demonstrates the bloc is not interested in an end to the war in Ukraine.

Moscow has demanded that the West remove sanctions from the state-owned Rosselkhozbank as a precondition for restoring a deal on the safe passage of Ukrainian cargo through the Black Sea

In case there still are some people thinking that Russia wants peace; here’s their narrative.

    not interested in an end to the war in Ukraine.

    There needs to be pushback that they’re not interested in surrendering Ukraine. Don’t let the assholes pretend their demands are reasonable.

      Hopefully, at this point, they aren’t taken seriously enough for a logical rebuttal to be necessary.

        It’s always necessary. There’s too many people who only remember the thing they heard the most (or last).

          Mockery or eye-rolling dismissal works with those same people, though. A complicated counterargument can actually lend credibility if it’s not totally understood, because it makes an outlandish perspective seem worthy of consideration.

    Refusal to cancel attacks on Ukraine and democracies worldwide shows kremlin does not want peace.

    Russia can have peace at any time they want.
    All they have to do is pull out of Ukraine.

    But to ease the sanctions, a little more is required, like returning the abducted children, and reimburse Ukraine for their losses du to their illegal completely unjustified invasion.

    To lift the sanctions completely, would probably require guarantees that Russia doesn’t rearm on top of the above, and EU observers to monitor that,

      Refusal to withdraw troops to Russia proper show that Russia doesn’t want peace.

    I’ve been following how Europe would respond to the Trump-Putin BS, this week. Just now, I got curious as to what Moscow was saying about those meetings and I found this.

    It’s funny how they keep talking about " the West" and that Europe doesn’t want peace, because we won’t lift sanctions.

    From Europe’s POV, it’s really hard to distinguish the rethoric from the East from Trump’s. This article is another testimony to that lunacy, imo.

    +Let’s keep standing firmly together Europe and Allies 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺🇺🇦🇬🇱

    Oooor you can actually prove you words and then we can talk about easing the sanctions? (or put Putin behind bars and then we can have actual peace)
