Bombing evacuation routes.  Laying landmines through evacuation routes.  Funneling them toward hostile nations.  It's the Russian way.  There is no end to this with peaceful negotiation.

Zelensky has a meeting with US congress. 

Joe Manchin and Marco Rubio post photos of Zelensky despite requests not to to protect his location.  Absolutely stupid a-holes.

So thoroughly shameless. There?s no low these guys can?t hit.

This feels like an instance where you shouldn't ascribe to malevolence what can be explained by just outright idiocy.
 
Poland just offered up all of their MiGs to Ukraine. (Well to a base in Germany under control of the US Air Force who will them mysteriously lose them).  They were looking to upgrade to US/UK aircraft anyway but if this moves forward that's 27 fighter jets to the Ukraine defense.

In all honesty when we say war crimes - does it matter? Will they be held accountable in any meaningful way? This just feels like meaningless words at this point.

Absolutely true.  Unless there are consequences to their actions it means nothing.  It?s just mindless venting for me at this point

They better hope they don?t accidentally hit any NATO assets, they?re going to get carpet bombed.
 
Now Zelensky has come out and said he no longer thinks that Ukraine will join NATO.  Isn't this the very thing that Putin wanted in the first place. No buffer states belonging to NATO.  Hopefully this thing resolves quickly now.

Or "independent countries" as they're known in some circles.

Russia invading Ukraine had very little to do with NATO/the EU.

Estonia and Latvia directly border the RUS and are both NATO nations.

As others have pointed out, this is not what he said. He just recognized that Ukraine being admitted to NATO is not at all imminent or guaranteed - which was true before the invasion. Nothing has really changed there.
