Ukraine and European leaders agreed on Saturday to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire from 12 May with the backing of US president Donald Trump, threatening president Vladimir Putin with new “massive” sanctions if he failed to comply.

The announcement was made by the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Ukraine after a meeting in Kyiv, during which they held a phone call with Trump.

What's with this obsession with the idea that Ukraine needs to compromise anything here? Why the hell are they supposed to give anything to their attackers to get them to stop attacking? This is the most batshit insane take.

ETA: if that isn't what you're suggesting then sorry for jumping on that, just seeing more than enough people putting blame on Ukraine for not compromising here and it's maddening
