Blinken warns Ukraine cease-fire now would result in ‘Potemkin peace,' legitimizing Russian invasion

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the United States and its allies should not support a cease-fire or peace talks to end the war in Ukraine until Kyiv gains strength and can negotiate on its own terms.

“We believe the prerequisite for meaningful diplomacy and real peace is a stronger Ukraine, capable of deterring and defending against any future aggression,” Blinken said in a speech in Finland, which recently became NATO’s newest member and shares a long border with Russia.

    Russia was also on the wrong side of history since WW2. When two losers face off, logically one or the other must break their losing streak.

    And as it turns out, the US gets the win. Congratulations.

      It wasn’t, and if you think US is winning anything here then you’re completely delusional. Life is going to get really hard for you in the coming years.

        Just like your leader once promised “we will bury you”. That was in 1959. He was delusional then, you are delusional today.

        The coming years will be fine for the US, but not necessarily for Russia.
