on the border with Belarus. Talks between the warring nations concluded and the negotiators retired to their respective headquarters.
That’s the bad news. The good news? They are going to keep talking to each other.
Meanwhile, the Russian invasion of Ukraine isn’t going as well as Russian dictator Vladimir Putin had hoped. I keep hearing he hasn’t yet deployed the full force of the military arsenal lined up against Ukrainians. Still, for the Russians to think they could walk into Ukraine without getting a serious resistance is foolish in the extreme.
I will hold out hope that as long as the warring nations are talking that there will be a chance they can find a way to stop the shooting, the bombing and the killing. I figure the longer the fighting goes without the Russians being able to march into the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, the better the chance for a deal to talk their way into something approaching a solution.
Now, if only someone could explain to me why the Russians decided to invade in the first place.
