Russia’s foreign minister Lavrov said negotiations can begin once Russia “restores democratic order” in Ukraine.
As Russian troops neared Kyiv, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko was asked to respond.
He had a pretty clear answer.
Lots of discussions about the threat of nuclear war from the Kremlin and whether Putin is rational. I share my thoughts in this thread.
To frame: I do not believe Russia would use nuclear weapons and I believe Putin is a rational actor.
Tomorrow marks six months since Russia launched its unprovoked attack on Ukraine, so this seems like a good moment to take a look at how things have turned out for Russia so far. Apologies, even more than usual, for the length of this thread.
