EU preparing 17th package of Russia sanctions, EUobserver reports
The European Union is preparing its 17th package of sanctions against Russia amid Moscow's demands for lifting some Western restrictions as part of its ceasefire terms, EUobserver reported on March 27, citing four unnamed EU diplomats.
Because of my pro-Russian views regarding this conflict, I don’t consider this good news.
However, many of you would likely welcome this development.
As long as you are against the war, against the invasion of Ukraine, even if you are pro-russia, we may discuss and agree on things.
After 3 years of senseless war, you must agree it was a bad thing that russia started this war, bad both for Ukraine and for russia.

My opinion on the Special Military Operation is that I understand completely why Russia started it.
But yes, good choice it was not.
It led to many horrendous crimes such as Russia's war crimes that are Bucha and Izium massacres.
And also massacres in Kursk region conducted by Ukraine.
Both Russian and Ukrainian war crimes such as those simply would not have happened had SMO not happen, as much as Zelenskyy had to do with provoking Russia by not implementing Minsk II, it was Putin's decision in the end to send troops into Ukraine.
