I really think it would be better for Europe as a whole to be speaking with Russia. I think if individual states reach out it is to Putin's advantage. He's always been divide and conquer. Look what he did to NATO thanks to Trump

No, Putin is no humanitarian. He's starving people. He's bombing civilians. He's kidnapping children. He's committing genocide. He's the exact opposite of a humanitarian.

It's ridiculous to expect Ukraine to stop targeting Russian oil while Putin continues to murder civilians at will. It says so much about the US right now that Republicans are acting as if Russian diesel is more important than the lives of Ukrainian children. That's not Christianity. That's evil.
