Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

KYIV, July 19 (Reuters) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday that Kyiv has sent Moscow an offer to hold another round of peace talks next week, and that he wanted to speed up negotiations for a ceasefire.

Ukraine and Russia have held two rounds of talks in Istanbul over the past five months. They have agreed to swap prisoners but made no breakthroughs in ending almost three and a half years of conflict that started with Russia's 2022 invasion.

"Everything should be done to achieve a ceasefire," Zelenskiy said in his evening address to the nation. "The Russian side should stop hiding from decisions," he added.

He probably wants to demonstrate to Trump (who said he would put economic pressure on Russia is a ceasefire was not done in less than 50 days from now.)

I don’t think anybody holds out hope on a ceasefire but Zelensky must keep asking to about situations where leaders think “Well both of them are stubborn and won’t do a ceasefire.” And reduce their supplies.
