    Ceasefire is a Russian victory, Russia can fuck off home at any time if they want to appease the African Union

    Semantics over the ceasefire aside, I think it’s great that they didn’t swallow the bribe and stand up against Putin this way.

    I suspect it’s related to Russia bombing grain silos (supposed to go in Africa) on the Ukraine territory (not sur why).
