    You’d think this would be a fairly cut and dry issue - the countries helping Ukraine wouldn’t like it either if another country started negotiating terms on their behalf (especially not with a monster like Putin).

    Ukraine and its people should be the ones to decide their own fate.

    I swear people who think otherwise must’ve read David vs. Goliath and sided with the Goliath.
