The EU, specifically Germany and France, were in direct negotiations with Russia from 2014 until the invasion working on details and promising Putin they were working as the most powerful countries in the OSCE - who was a signatory and representative of those countries - to get Minsk implemented. When Russia found out they, along with Ukraine, were just leading him on, of course Russia was pissed.

Please tell me exactly what in the above is "not grounded in reality." If you're going to call me a liar, at least have the (logan) stones to say what my lie is.

My agreeing with RT doesn't make what I say wrong. I'm pretty sure RT believes, as I do, that water is made of hydrogen and oxygen and the sky is blue. That doesn't make me wrong.

It is a weak-ass argument to claim that a statement is false because someone else that you apparently don't like says the same thing.

Yeah, there is definitely some intellectual dishonesty here, Mr. Logan "Joe McCarthy Junior" Stone. Project much?
