“We are certainly not satisfied with the proposals made by representatives of the president-elect’s team to postpone Ukraine’s membership in NATO for 20 years and to deploy a peacekeeping contingent of ‘UK and European forces’ in Ukraine,” Lavrov added.
The money quote. And yeah there's no way Russia accepts Europeans holding the line without things getting much worse. Russia isn't even close to running out of people or war material.
- Lol they have tanks for a couple of months left, and the ruble is in free fall, putin can't consript more people and they rely on north corean shells and weapons.
