You know who has total power to end this war? Putin. Just get the fuck out of Ukraine and it’s over.

There’s really nothing to negotiate.

They literally were negotiating at the start of the war for this exact outcome: Russia pulls out and Ukraine maintains neutrality.

Johnson threw a wrench in those plans.

Sorry what? You’re blaming Boris Johnson for this now?

One person has the power to put an end to this: the person who started it. Putin.

I've seen this Boris Johnson argument several times on here and never once seen anything even remotely approaching a convincing explanation of what leverage Boris ever had to do this. Like a deal for a white peace with Russia was on the table and Boris somehow twisted Zelenskyy's arm into fighting by threatening to not send weapons that wouldn't be necessary if there was peace anyway?
