1) That's for the Ukrainian people to decide and nobody else. If the Ukrainians want to fight then we should help them do so.

2) These were targets on a military airbase.

3) They had an "armistice" for 8 years. It was a joke to begin with, which provided no real guarantees (as Russia continued to lie that they had nothing to do with the conflict throughout and as such they didn't need to agree to anything), signed at the point of a gun, was often ignored by both sides, and was shattered by a full scale Russian invasion

4) Ukraine has no reason to believe that any new "armistice" will lead to different outcomes than the last one - that is, Russia will maintain it a little while and then invade from a stronger starting position than the last time. Russia ignored the Budapest Memorandum, both Minsk agreements, the "grain deal" and just this week we saw what happened to Prigozhin. Any deal with Putin will last exactly as long as it takes for him to feel that he would benefit from breaking it.

We need less genocide supporters. This war is genocide and leaving even a single square meter for genociders to play with is not acceptable. If they want to kill people, they can kill their own, they have a good and long tradition in this.

> I'm anti war and the idea that these are being flown into civilian areas is troubling.

The idea of the Russian armed forces using the Geneva convention as a todo list in Ukraine is a bigger worry to me than this.

> We NEED an Armistice - our own country can't even afford this kind of war!

Then tell Russia to leave all of Ukraine (including Crimea) that’s the only acceptable way this war ends, along with real actionable security guarantees for Ukraine when Russia tries again.

The only country that can unilaterally end this war today is Russia, Russia has decided it doesn’t want this war to end therefore it must continue.

Armistice based on Putin's word? Like Pirgozin stopped mutiny based on Putin word? What did it bring it to him?
