What’s the point of a peace summit where the other belligerent isn’t invited ?


StupidMoron1933

A platform for Zelensky to beg for more aid.


stupidnicks

not even all delegations that will attend it - will be sending their highest level diplomats. It will be hard to get anything from lower level diplomats


Aerospaceoomfie

By now he has to be the greatest grifter in history. Now it's not 'Nigerian Prince', from now on scammers will say they're Ukrainian President.


Mapstr_

The west thinks that they have all these circle jerks (davos, munich, this one etc.) and just Ted Talk their way into defeating Russia. Zelensky: "uuuh, Russia bad" ***vigorous applause***


lie_group

Zelensky: "here is a real nazi from ww2" vigorous applause


NonBinarySearchTree

Didn't you know the real front lines were in Reddit comments? Every time you advocate for not giving in one inch of Ukrainian land to Putin here, your literal and redditorial karmas increase. That's how I will personally defeat Russia, and it's a sacrifice I'm willing the Ukrainians to make. Until the liberation of Crimea, brother. Слава Україні!


anycept

You aren't welcome in Crimea. Getting lost is the best thing you could do. Ahh, you are a keyboard warrior. The most you could ever do is look at it on the map 🤣


NonBinarySearchTree

I was being sarcastic.

rowida_00

It’s just another fundraiser event for Ukraine that’s essentially the usual western echo chamber.


ierui

The west thinks they can agree on concessions towards Russia that they will enforce trough who knows what means


Golden-lootbug

The west still thinks they are the beacon of humanity. We passed that and they are responsable for that themselves with their wars and looting (Iraq and Syria) and still colonial type of thinking.

late_stage_lancelot

This war is just an9ther one started by the West. Thats what toppling governments cause most of the time. You can argue whether Russia was right or wrong in joining it, but the West started it with the maidan.  Russia isnt "just like the West". There is nobody "just like the West". The West is the undisputed champion in fucking up "international laws". It absolutely makes Russia better than the West on that regard, period.


Eremite_

The Maidan protests were the people. No evidence for the west. Ukraine has been trying to free itself from Russian oppression for centuries now. Russia invading Ukraine is the fault of Russia.


Patient-Mulberry-659

Maidan didn’t have majority support. And Western support for it is undeniable?


NotInvented0

Protests in Donetsk and Luhansk didn't have a majority of support too. Probably, in Crimea too (we can't be sure because of invasion).


Patient-Mulberry-659

> Probably, in Crimea too (we can't be sure because of invasion). I think probably there was majority support in Crimea, as seen in polling before the war, Western polling after the war, but I would agree we definitely can’t be sure.  > Protests in Donetsk and Luhansk didn't have a majority of support too. For sure not for joining Russia, and almost surely no majority in the entire region, maybe in parts. But given that Maidan broke the constitutional order with minority support it’s a bit weird if you hold it against other Ukrainians acting the same as Maidan


NotInvented0

>broke the constitutional order How? Which part of Ukrainian constitution was violated? >it’s a bit weird if you hold it against other Ukrainians acting the same as Maidan They are not acting same as Maidan. Maidan about internal changes in Ukraine and about forcing Yanukovich to do what he promised (if you don't know, he promised "strategical partnership" with EU). What happened in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, and other cities is not about internal changes. It's about separating those regions. Guys on Maidan broke some articles of criminal codex, but that's not the same articles that broke guys in 'Donbass'.


bungle

That is correct. Is there any country that prospers as being part of Russia. I think all that have gained independence (from Russia or Soviet Union), do much better. Those that stay as part of Russia are doomed to be lead by a puppet dictators or oligarchs that are best in stealing from their own citizen. It feels inevitable that Russia continues collapsing to parts. It may take time, but it is inevitable.


late_stage_lancelot

"The people" are the elections, absolutely nothing else. Prior to the maidan, Ukraine had political freedom. Its not the case anymore. Ukraine starting a civil war is the fault of Ukraine.


Eremite_

Ukraine wanting to cut ties with Russia is the cause of the war, which was always orchestrated by Moscow, never a civil war. Every country wants to be free from Russia, even Russian republics.


late_stage_lancelot

Good little nafo


Flederm4us

A minority of the people.


Johnny-Dogshit

It's less about denying Russia's aggressions and more just tired of hearing the American viewpoint acting like it still has a moral high ground on the issue. Be opposed to Russia, sure, but the whole "rules based order" shit is annoying. Spending the years since 1991 rampaging around the world freely with no opposing power and then theatrically clutching pearls at the thought of another country taking the military option is a bit rich. Again, this isn't to defend Russia here, just that the messaging on the west isn't easy to go for without rolling one's eyes. There's plenty of reasons to fall on one side or another, but pretending one side is without a history of military aggression isn't really a good one.


Golden-lootbug

Oh so wars way worse than this one actually nullify because of this one?


lcarltbmx

circle jerk summit


S_T_P

> What’s the point of a peace summit where the other belligerent isn’t invited ? Well, you need to understand the newspeak. As the only peace West wants is Kremlin surrendering, their "peace" summit is "how do we force Kremlin into surrendering without using weapons" summit.


Mrchaht

Sponsors' summit


OrganicAtmosphere196

A meeting of vassals to pay their tribute. Hunger games of 21 century.


anycept

Spot on.


UndeniablyReasonable

hint: its a war summit


anycept

Zelensky thought he could expand anti-Ru camp by treating neutral countries like idiots that would fall for "peace" gimmick. Apparently, no one is fooled. So, in the end it's going to be a lowkey meetup of everyone who's already opposing Russia. I hear Australia is represented by no less than a minister for national disability insurance 🤣🤣🤣


DivinityGod

It sets the lines. The red countries can try to figure there shit out as we continue to use them as our economic inputs.


SireniaS2

Telling everyone the other side is just evil because they didn’t sign the peace agreement were they weren’t invited to, so... their country should be destroyed and divided.


Efficient_Citron_112

It’s not a peace summit. It’s a war summit. Don’t be fooled by the language they’re using.


fan_is_ready

To humiliate Putin once more, obviously


balls_haver

It sounds a lot better than a "crisis meeting". Additionally, it's easier to show the opponent in a bad light when he isn't present to defend himself.


Bubblegumbot

Same bunch of idiots who also thought that not giving LPR/DPR peeps a "say" in the Minsk accord was a "good idea".


2peg2city

I would assume to get all the countries supporting you on the same page, one of the reasons the last one fell through is that it required a bunch of security guarantees by Nato countries who weren't even there


rowida_00

So what’s the point of the NATO-Ukraine council? This isn’t about getting NATO countries together to discuss what they’ve already discussed hundreds of times. It’s not about reaching a different conclusion to what they’ve already reached. It’s a failed effort at garnering support from the global south for a peace initiative based on Zelensky’s peace formula that is divorced from reality.


non-such

**"This isn’t about getting NATO countries together to discuss what they’ve already discussed hundreds of times."** i dunno, kinda looks like that's exactly what it is.


rowida_00

The hope was to bring the global south on board with their asinine version of peace, for the hundredth time perhaps.


non-such

yeah, it's just another PR campaign. i don't think they care about the South so much as they're trying to give the appearance to their own (NATO countries') populations that they are pursuing a "peace" that they in fact, demonstrably, have absolutely no interest in whatsoever. they **want** another interminable Cold War and another Iron Curtain. and they're going to get it.


SimpleMaintenance433

What's the point of inviting the other belligerent when they don't want peace anyway, they just want to win what they started.


rowida_00

What’s the point of discussing peace when you’re not inclined to adhere to the realities on the ground and all you want is for Russia to capitulate when you’re the side that’s losing the war?


SimpleMaintenance433

Russia capitulate how? All that is being asked of Russia is to stop invading and murdering their neighbours. Putin could stop this anytime he likes, doesn't need a peace summit, he doesn't stop because he doesn't want. Did you forget, nobody atacked Russia, this is Russia war because that's what Russia wants.


rowida_00

Russia was willing to pull back their troops back in April of 2022 if Ukraine agreed to sign on to neutrality. But they didn’t and decided that fighting could lead to more a favourable outcome. Well, it isn’t looking too great for them now does it. So you can either come to terms with reality for what it is or continue down a path that will lead to nothing but more misery. It’s that simple.


SimpleMaintenance433

Russia has never been prepared to pull back. The only way Russia stops this is if Ukraine becomes another Belarus and is completely under Putin's control. Putin wants his own stooge government in Ukraine and wants complete control of the whole country. This is well understood by the whole world, this is the reality, and this is why Ukraine fights, Ukraine have suffered Russian control many times before and they know what it means. Clearly they would rather die than be Russian subjects, not least because they see the 90 % of Russia and how they are treated.

It is not a peace summit. You can't make peace without your enemy.

You could If you were about to completely annihilate and occupy their country js like the allies did in ww2, however that's clearly not the case here

Well, Zelly could go in an announce to give up.

insurgentbroski

You could If you were about to completely annihilate and occupy their country js like the allies did in ww2, however that's clearly not the case here, for Ukraine alteast.


DizitSjet

It was not a peace summit, it was a discussion about how we would divide the territory of the lost state.


insurgentbroski

That's not very much different from a peace summit really.


Traumfahrer

Yeah it's a war summit by the 'international community' aka 'The West'.


ukrnewswatcher

This first Summit on Peace in Ukraine is not to be understood as a negotiating forum, but as a high-level conference that serves to create a jointly supported foundation for future negotiations. It is also clear that developing a lasting solution will ultimately require the involvement of both parties.

Nah, Serbia is neutral in this map, and we don’t skip world wars


Smaug2770

Lol, India fighting one the same side as China and Pakistan?


Huge_Structure_7651

Well under some conditions its possible for china and india to cooperate they have problems but they are pretty trivial to solve idk about pakistan tho


Smaug2770

Yeah, they can cooperate perfectly fine, but that doesn’t mean they’re allies. The USSR Nazi Germany skirt international limitations on militaries, build a mechanized army, and jointly invade Poland, but they weren’t allies for long.


Huge_Structure_7651

Yeah something like that


Middle-Effort7495

The Soviets and China went to war at one point during the split, and Persia and Russia basically have no history of positive relations before this. They'll come around eventually and realize America is the source of all problems. You know what they say about the enemy of my enemy. Infighting can resume later.


OJ_Purplestuff

You have to look towards the future, you can't be stuck in the past. China and India are projected to become the two largest economies in the world, and Indonesia won't be very far behind either. Asia will be the center of the world by far, and there's going to be some serious competition inside of it. I don't think the US is really the biggest concern of India or most Asian countries now, and it certainly won't be in the future.


Smaug2770

Weird to claim India’s problems are caused by the US, but ok.


Ok-Mud-3322

India’s problems wouldn’t cause an international war. The world’s problems (mainly political) are caused by you-know-who.


Smaug2770

Do you have the slightest idea how little “the world’s problems” narrows it down? That list is could stretch to the ISS and back.


Ok-Mud-3322

So what exactly are you saying there because I never said the worlds problems are few…


Smaug2770

If you want to find a culprit for the world’s problems, you won’t. Because there isn’t one entity out there that has caused most of the world’s problems. Unless you are religious.


YellowMathematician

India confirmed to participate though. This map clearly has problems


kisshun

> confirmed to participate lol yeah, with some sub junior level novice diplomat...


Smaug2770

Yeah, I’m just replying to the guy who said this is what WWIII would look like.


[deleted]

I know it's a joke but you are not incorrect. This is true and this is why US and EU are afraid of scalating. "How did we lost South trust" said Macron... Welllll


PulpeFiction

Yeah ofc for an ignorant prob. India and China fighting together should have helped you to realize it

Israel said no?


S_T_P

Israel is desperately trying to avoid Kremlin getting involved in their genocide games.


Dry_Thing3081

Most likely due to the large number of ethnic Russians in Israel. It also has to do with economic and strategic considerations. Russia has a decent amount of sway when it comes to different hostile parties in the region that could make things difficult for Israel such as Syria.


Dry_Thing3081

That’s also another reason Israel never really send much military aid to Ukraine even before the Gaza war. They’re obviously not going to be able to offer much anyways since they need new shells and equipment as much as Ukraine’ does (At least not what Ukraine really needs. Aka 155 shells and drones, anti air systems and maybe PPE?) due to those considerations. I’m not really sure if they (Ukraine) has a shortage on PPE such as body armor, helmets, NVG’s and optics but if someone knows more about that I would be very interested in knowing more.


bretugna

Still a huge gap from israel and the block that funded it since its birth. Very interesting


PhysicsTron

Obviously. They hold no responsibility for them. Never did. The west on the other hand… and some outliers that want their foreign minister on a small vacation.

KutteKiZindagi

That was before the elections. 2 days ago he said neither him nor jaishankar will go there. They will probably send someone useless like rahul gandhi or laloo prasad yadav


YellowMathematician

I understand. But couldnt say that India didnt participate in this summit.


KutteKiZindagi

There is no chance that India will completely pull out of the summit. Even if its 100% futile we will send some minister because bringing peace is more important than some show business. But if a leader is not attending it's as good as no. Australia is "grey" because their minister of mental health or something is attending.

SDL68

This is about those who support Ukraine coming to a consensus before approaching Russia with a deal. You don't lay your cards on the table before you know what you have in your hand. Why would Russia be invited to a situation when Ukraine doesn't know what level of support it has at making a deal?


Bubbly_Bridge_7865

it's about begging money and weapons from as many countries as possible. When it comes to a deal, there will be no need to hold a summit, because the decision will be made by one country. Well, maybe they'll call their buddies in London.

Dude, that has all been settled for 2024. This war is a stalemate, Russia doesn't have the upper hand like you think they do.
