Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Putin decrees 'buffer zone' to be created between Ukraine and Rusia (united24media.com)

Among the absurd maximalists demands for peace, this one is interesting. It implies that he accepts there is and will be a border between Ukraine and Russia at all. Which is suggestive that even he understands his delusions of total conquest are never going to happen, and that they probably need to consolidate their gains at this point. A small but maybe relevant admission that the war is grinding to a close, despite their belligerent insistence that they're winning.

Suggestion for the buffer zone:

Sounds wise. They'll definitely need a buffer zone once the Ukrainians retake all their land, it's going to be dangerous to be close to people who are that pissed off at them.

No it’s not land we grabbed to mine for gas and minerals. It’s a, uh, . . . buffer zone! Yeah. That’s it.
