Ohhhhh a poll! Oh man, well. Done deal then. Innit.
- To answer these questions, ECFR conducted an opinion poll of 19,566 people in 15 countries in the first half of May 2024 – the period prior to the European Parliament election. source
  
  Jesus Christ they got 20,000 people to answer poll questions in two weeks?
  . . . What was the methodology? Was it, like, at a football match everybody who agrees . . raise your hand? Was it “like if you agree” on Telegram? Agggh. Okay I’ll go look.
Oh good, we all know how much Putin cares about European polling.
- I don’t. How much does Putin care about European polling? Or was that just a rhetorical aside to sway public sentiment?
  
  Sorry... you don't know how much Putin cares about polls of people in countries he doesn't like in regards to what he should be doing?
  Was that a serious question?
Negotiations can mean many things.
The only acceptable outcome is that Ukraine gets all its territories back including Crimea.
Then we can negotiate on maybe lifting some of the sanctions. There will probably also be negotiations on reparation for Ukraine.
Even in case of a total Russian defeat, there will probably be negotiations regarding many issues.
