What an awful, pointless waste of lives!!!
Russia invading Ukraine is inexcusable. Invasion should never, ever have been an option. But why on earth Zelensky didn’t offer this neutrality thing BEFORE the invasion, to preempt it and avoid this needless war, is baffling.
Russia say they do not want their antagonists (NATO) camped next to them. They say they would see Ukraine joining NATO as a threat etc. why a compromise wasn’t pursued sooner, to prevent this mindless bloodshed is just baffling!!!
