US President Donald Trump said he plans to speak by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 18 as he bids to bring about a cease-fire in the long war in Ukraine that has drained both sides of soldiers and resources.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shook up his military leadership, replacing the chief of the General Staff, while a top Russian official said Moscow will insist Ukraine not be allowed to join NATO and remain “neutral” in any peace deal – conditions Kyiv has long rejected.

    Wherein “neutral” means “without any defense partners so that we can come back later”.

        Do you not know history? That is the exact kind of attitude that doomed the league of nations. The UN exists to manage international affairs. If you start kicking out members or start demanding specific resolutions you can’t manage international affairs because countries will say “fuck your org, I’ll do my own thing”.
