More and more voices in the US and Europe say it’s time to push Ukraine into a peace deal. With the diesel deal and Trump’s talk of easing sanctions on Russia, the pressure is growing. But the argument rests on the assumption that there is a deal on the table that Ukraine could take if it wanted to — and there isn't.

I have never heard Anders Puck Nielsen sound this frustrated on an issue.
But it is absolutely insane and disconnected with reality the position people like Trump and Mark Rutte are taking.

I am happy that our Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen saw this right from the beginning, and that my country helps Ukraine more than most. It's sad however how little countries like Spain and Italy and USA are helping, but also France, Germany and UK are not doing nearly as much as they could. It really is true that without USA Europe is not politically able to resolve its own conflicts.
We have done some in EU, but we have done far from enough, we need EU forces on Ukrainian ground, at a minimum to help with logistics and keep the power on, and to help with medical aid and rebuilding. We should also have enforced a no fly zone over Russia at least from Ukraine to Moscow.

Europe is idling through this as Ukrainians are dying, and USA has almost completely abandoned their allies and democracy.

    At least the USA might stop being... well, not hostile, but... no idea what word fits here best... towards Ukraine after the new Parliaments start working in a few months.
