Saw a joke on Twitter that this is the first time in 10 years that the President of Ukraine has visited Russia. :lol:

Zelensky has apparently presented the outline of a desireable peace for Ukraine during the G20. It's as follows:



I'll try to find some details.

I don't know what most of those things actually mean in any practical sense.

Wow, Berkut is against restoring justice.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

German gas storage is now above 100%. Apparently you can store more of the Norwegian gas than the Russian gas due to different chemical properties. FU Putin.

Unconfirmed reports of "stray" Russian missiles hitting Polish territory and killing two Poles.
Let's bomb Russia!

It's been confirmed by multiple Polish news sources. Uh oh.

Not sure how the Polish situation will play out, I doubt Article 5 would be invoked over what is clearly a stray hit on the border.

NATO's ROE are detailed and strict, so I don't think so either. I could see Poland deploying air defense to Ukraine though, and shooting down anything flying. Don't they have Patriot batteries?

I can only imagine little Vlad shitting his pants in the Kremlin right now. Bunker bitch.

Let me predict the incoming response by Hungary: Russia killing Poles is all the fault of the Jews and the West!

And probably immigrants.

Yeah if it is a stray missile then it's not the same as a deliberate attack. But I imagine Poland will want immediate consultations with NATO partners - in a weird way it may be helpful that the G20 is happening so a lot of NATO leaders are in one place.

I wonder if the response will depend on whether they trace the flight path to Russia or Belarus?

I don't think it is applicable either. Article 5 is about an armed attack; I don't think that includes a stray missile.

Obviously the risk of this type of situation is because Russia is recklessly lobbing missiles at Ukraine, but I'm not sure it's an Article 5 situation.
