    The move is seen as an attempt to challenge the legitimacy of the current authorities in Kyiv.

      If Ukraine gets a UN-led government, then so should Russia. That I could agree with.

          UN-led means the UN Security Council, in which Russia has a permanent seat and therefore veto powers, would get a say on what the Ukrainian government can and can’t do.

              And the reverse would be true if the UN led the government in Russia. What’s your point?

                  My point is the motivation behind the Russian demand, control over Ukraine, also the impossibility of forcing a UN led government on Russia, because the Russian government can easily veto that.

                      Again, there are other members who could veto a UN government in Ukraine 🤷🤷 It’s not going to happen either.

                          Let’s hope so.

                          China and the US are likely going to support Russia. This leaves only two veto powers, France and the UK, in need of being persuaded.

                          Non permanent members don’t have veto powers.

                  Putin wants to overthrow the government in Ukraine…

                  This is not a serious proposal. This is Putin trying to prolong his war of conquest and get others to do his dirty work.

                      Nobody with a brain trusts Putin. Anyone who says they do is an idiot or argues in bad faith.

                        Ukraine already has a government.

                        Rules (2024-08-30)

                        1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
                        2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
                        3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
                        4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
                        5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
                        6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
                        7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
                        8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
                        9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
                        10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

                        (This list may get expanded as necessary.)

                        Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

                        Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

                        Ban lengths, etc.

                        We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

                        If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

                        If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
