Just hours after US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks on a potential cease-fire in Moscow’s war on Ukraine, Russian drone strikes hit Ukrainian civilian infrastructure in the country, including on power generation infrastructure that Putin had agreed to spare in the phone call, Kyiv said.

I’m heavily pro-Ukraine, and not gonna pretend that the playing field is at all level. But to be fair Ukraine attacked gas pipelines and refineries (reportedly supporting Moscow with up to 50% of it’s oil) less than a week ago, can they still complain about power infrastructure being targeted?

I mean obviously they can complain about everything Russia does, but this specific point just seems a bit odd?

Ah, I didn’t catch that this deal to not hit energy infra was after Ukraine hit the refinery and oil pipelines.

There was supposed to be an agreement to stop hitting both types of infrastructure but only in the last day or so is my understanding.

I mean it’s very clear the issue here is Vladdy just proposed they stop attacking energy infrastructure yesterday. The things Ukraine did were actually prior to yesterday, and therefore no agreement existed at the time, hence the outrage.

Cease fires don’t usually include a “but I get to bop you one more time before we honor our agreement” clause.

What happens before an agreement is not relevant. What happens after is.

It was a reasonable question given you didn’t know. The oul down vote pile on was a bit much IMO but here we are.

I think most downvotes are before my edit, so probably a good thing that it was buried. :-)

The notion of an “agreement” with Putler is laughable! The only agreement he’s capable of not breaking is one he makes at the Hague to spare his life in exchange for peacefully dying in a cell somewhere.

Goes to show you how much Putin respects Trump. Lol

Trump has failed at every business venture he has ever tried. Of course he cant make any kind of deal.
