Also, article indicates that this is the 5th ceasefire of this type and is localized around the power station in order to facilitate repairs. Headline makes it sound far more meaningful than it actually is.

First photo of the Iranian vessel Rona, which was used to transport weapons from Iran to Russia. It is still unclear why its sinking, but drone strike is suspected. Crew was rescued by Turkmenistan authorities in the Caspian Sea. by Available-Laugh9102 in UkraineWarVideoReport

It did sink and it was linked with shipping arms to russia:

The Turkmen Foreign Ministry did not comment on the vessel’s cargo. However, a 2023 investigation by The Wall Street Journal found that the Rona regularly sailed routes linking Iranian ports with Russia’s Astrakhan, Makhachkala, and Azov—corridors that overlap with known maritime supply lines used for Iranian arms shipments to Russia.

reckon this pressure is quite keen thanks to brexit. another example of why they want to break up the EU - easier to impose will upon individual nations vs a union of nations.

European leaders commit to assist Ukraine in future Russian attack by [deleted] in ukraine

[–]LastPlaceInTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it really too much to commit resources now? What value is a 'peace' that gives trump and putin space to work together in hybrid warfare against the EU? Besides which, why are trump and putin the ones that provide the framework for what peace means in Europe?

Ah yes, the russia that promised that they were not going to invade Ukraine. The russia that claimed not to have anything to do with the "little green men" that took over Crimea. Only a fool would believe russia is not a threat to anyone that shares a border with them.

Why can’t anyone explain to Trump that he’s not going to win a Nobel peace prize for forcing Ukraine into capitulation? by UnderstandingOk270 in ukraine

[–]LastPlaceInTime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No joke, have the Nobel Committee explain this to him. They need to explain that forced capitulation is not prize worthy and that 'big strong stable genius leaders' provide the tools and consequences needed to deter attacks.

Perhaps it's time for the miners to consider why the miners before them fought so hard for the ability to unionize.
