The sheer bloody audacity of Vladimir Putin deciding who is and isn’t allowed to sit at the negotiating table is beyond belief.
This is the man who ordered the invasion of a sovereign country, whose forces continue to bomb Ukrainian cities, destroy homes, devastate essential infrastructure and kill innocent civilians. Yet somehow, he thinks he has the right to dictate who gets a voice in negotiations to end the very war he started.
Who the hell does Putin think he is?
And while these politicians fly around the world, shake hands and congratulate themselves on another round of supposedly productive discussions, what about the thousands of Ukrainian children taken into Russia?
Children ripped away from their families, separated from their homeland, and in some cases placed with Russian families and subjected to efforts to strip away their Ukrainian identity. What possible justification can there be for doing that to innocent children?
Putin has been wanted by the International Criminal Court since March 2023 over the alleged unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children. UN investigators have concluded that Russia’s deportation and forcible transfer of children amount to crimes against humanity.
And this is the man being allowed to dictate the terms of who participates in peace negotiations?
Europe has poured billions into supporting Ukraine, providing weapons, financial assistance, humanitarian aid and help rebuilding what Russia has destroyed. European security is directly at stake, yet Moscow has the nerve to suggest that European representatives must prove themselves worthy of a seat at the table.
The hypocrisy is absolutely staggering.
Meanwhile, the bombs keep falling, Ukrainian families keep suffering, and the people responsible continue talking as though they hold all the cards.
Prisoner exchanges may bring desperately needed relief to families, but they are not a ceasefire. Endless meetings, carefully rehearsed statements and diplomatic photo opportunities are not peace.
Return the Ukrainian children. Stop attacking Ukrainian civilians. Stop pretending that the aggressor has the right to decide who gets a voice.
Ukraine is not Putin
