I run an information security consulting company in the UK and EU. Long ago I studied chemical engineering, still interested in science and engineering (pro-nuclear and pro-renewables) and politics of EU and Eastern Europe. I mostly post in English, occasionally in Polish, which is my native language, sometimes also in Russian and Ukrainian. I've been to Russia and Ukraine a lot over the last ~20 years, actively supporting Ukraine's defense effort since 2014. I almost always follow back. I prefer to discuss any views as long as they are supported by arguments and evidence, I do ban for insults and hate speech. Once 2:486/23 on #Fidonet

You can’t see any better response to #Russia “peace proponents” that what #Germany Foreign Office has just posted on Twitter:

There has been no lack of efforts in the last two years by the international community and by the #Ukraine to get Putin to end the Russian war of aggression. But his answer is always: more suffering, death and destruction.
1 March 2022 — When peace in Ukraine was negotiated in Istanbul, Putin responded with the most brutal crimes against the people of Bucha and Irpin.
2 Summer 2023 — When several African countries wanted to enter into peace talks, they had to leave Moscow disappointed. During earlier talks in Kyiv, they were greeted with the explosions of Russian missiles.

3 June 2024 — When around 100 delegations from all over the world, from Argentina to Qatar to Thailand, met in Switzerland to discuss peace based on international law, Putin responded with waves of bombs on Ukrainian power plants.
4 July 2024 — When the international community called on Russia to withdraw from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant at the UN General Assembly, Putin did nothing of the sort and instead once again fired on targets in the region around the nuclear power plant and throughout Ukraine.
5 July 2024 — Nevertheless, Ukraine invited Russia to the next peace summit. But Putin’s reaction was swift: missile terror, violence, death and a clear rejection of diplomacy.
Nevertheless, people are still screaming for peaceful negotiations. That it was the West’s fault that Russia invaded, and that the war is still being carried out. That Ukraine is supposedly not interested in negotiations.
This list proves once again what not only the Ukrainian government, but leaders from all over the world always say. Russia is not interested in peace talks. Russia is only interested in one thing, to prolong this war and to win it by any means necessary, and to overwhelm the country and its people with war and terror.
