Anti-War Protests Sweep the Globe in Support of Ukraine

Ukraine’s government said it was discussing with Russia the timing and location of potential peace talks. The diplomatic to and fro comes as fighting continues on the ground with Russian forces moving toward the capital.

Any talks would likely struggle to find common ground on the question of “neutrality” for Ukraine, which has sought to join NATO and draw closer to Europe.

Separately, the EU, U.K. and U.S. all announced sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. While the move is largely symbolic, it puts the Russian president in a category of infamous leaders including Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and former Libyan strongman Moammar Al Qaddafi. At the UN, Russia vetoed a resolution condemning its invasion of its neighbor, as its ally China abstained.

No ideological or political conviction would justify the sacrifice of a human life. The value of life is absolute, with no concessions. The most precious thing on planet Earth. It's not negotiable.

Would Ukraine come to the aid of Germany or France if they were invaded by an enemy? Or would they only do that if they belonged to a political club called The EU Club and simply watch the killing and levelling of Paris and Berlin whilst their leaders were hung by the neck in the street?
