Ukraine shouldn't agree to ceasefire along current front line — former U.S. national security advisor

global.espreso.tvUkraine shouldn't agree to ceasefire along current front line — former U.S. national security advisorFormer U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton expressed this opinion in an interview with Espreso TV."I have never believed that Ukraine should agree to a ceasefire along the current front line followed by negotiations. I have been convinced of this for a long time because, even if Putin doesn't admit it, it is Russia that would gain the most from such a scenario. Establishing a ceasefire on the current line of contact would give Moscow the opportunity to freeze the conflict, prolonging negotiations devoid of real substance and a final outcome, and gradually transform this front line into a new de-facto border between Russia and Ukraine," Bolton commented.According to him, this poses a serious risk for Ukraine, and the government must consider it with the utmost attention."The current goal should not be to prepare for negotiations, but to change the military balance in Ukraine's favor. Only such a change will force Moscow to genuinely seek negotiations. As long as Russian troops are advancing, even slowly and at the cost of enormous losses, the conflict will continue. Without a superiority of force, the situation will not change," stressed the former advisor to Trump.On November 20, it was reported that U.S. President Donald Trump approved a 28-point peace plan for settlement between Russia and Ukraine. The plan was developed by high-ranking officials in his administration over recent weeks in consultation with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev and Ukrainian representatives.

HEGSETH: We wore a patch on our shoulder that said ISAF -- International Security Assistance Force. And you know what the joke was? That is stood for 'I saw Americans fighting.' COONS: Let's just make clear for the record that our military partners in Afghanistan included many who served and died

I did a little dive to the Ruzzian missile and drone onslaught against #Ukraine. Not just to know more about Ukraine, but also to understand better the threat to the rest of #Europe. TL;DR: Eastern Europe NEEDS independent conventional AND #nuclear #deterrent. A thread.

While the US’ hard power was feared or admired around the world, it was really its soft power that was the envy of the world. Much harder to build, and so influential. Seeing it being dismantled in this way is quite something.

❗️Trump: I bring people into the Oval Office. Princes, kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers. I think there are dictators among them. They don't say that. They say, "I'm the prime minister or the president," and I say, "No. You're a dictator." But that's normal.

"At first, when someone says, let's impose tariffs, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing..." A masterclass from Ronald Reagan on tariffs and free trade. Maybe the slow MAGA-guys in the back should take a listen for a change...

"Meanwhile, it now seems likely that the oldest commissioned ship in the U.S. Navy, the USS Constitution, will be disposed of."

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

You are up to date.
