anyone find it a bit odd that ukrainian nationalist chrystia freeland isn't straining every sinew to simply remove all of ukraine's financial debts to the west and the IMF?

Let's assume she's actually an ultra-nationalist with genuine fascistic sympathies, because that seems likely. Remember that quote in Ignatieff's book about her travelling to Ukraine and being disappointed to find the Soviet mentality had infected the average Ukrainian deep into their bones? If beating Russia isn't really an option, why make peace? Would it not be better to have a ruinous defeat to build a myth around? Myths are powerful, they got us here. All she'd need now if for actual real Ukrainians who live in Ukraine to begin to think more like those "Ukrainian exiles" born into and living in the west. Throwing all the olds away in a war helps wipe clean the real, largely positive experiences of living in the USSR. Those real lived experiences are deeply problematic for her vision, they simply don't line up with what she believes to be true. Better to have them all killed by the Russians, it lets her rewrite history and reshape a broken Ukraine as she sees fit. It is worth remembering that Nationalists tend to be very selfish, presenting what is only best for them as being best for their nation.

She's also a landlord if I recall, owning many properties in Kiev. I can believe a Canadian landlord can see advantages to having their subjects trapped in an endless debt cycle.

She's not just a landlord, she's reportedly a Junker and has some sort of schloss, with a country home, gardens, and tenant farms.

Happy Easter to the Orthodox Christians, says the USA President :

www.whitehouse.gov - Sun, 05 May 2024 posted:

Jill and I send warm wishes to Orthodox Christian communities around the world as they celebrate Easter.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ reminds us of God�s abundant love for us and the power of light over darkness. We join Orthodox Christians in giving thanks for these and other blessings and rededicate ourselves to caring for those most in need.

In this sacred season, we hold people who are suffering from war and persecution especially close to our hearts. We will continue to pray and work for peace and justice for all people.�

May the Lord bless and keep you this Easter Sunday and in the year ahead.

Interesting he doesn't mention the top two aggressors against Orthodox Christians: Israel and the Ukraine. Both are condemned by the UN (cornerstone of the RuBIO) but enthusiastically supported by the USA:

Freedom of Religion Must Prevail in Ukraine, Even as War Drags On, Senior UN Human Rights Official Tells Security Council

press.un.org posted:

Everyone in Ukraine must have complete freedom to manifest and practice their religion or belief, a senior UN official told the Security Council today as she detailed restrictions on religious freedom and threats to the safety of religious communities in the country and called on both Ukraine and the Russian Federation to ensure that fundamental human right.

�Concerns regarding the enjoyment of freedom of religion in Ukraine, including in occupied territory, have increased since February�2022,� said Ilze Brands Kehris, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights in the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), noting growing tensions between the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

�Restoring peace and respect for the United Nations Charter and international law is urgent.� While the war and occupation persist, we call on all parties to ensure that all people in Ukraine have full freedom to manifest and practice their religion or belief, in line with international human rights law.�

Since February�2022, OHCHR has documented 10�cases of physical violence and six cases of threatened violence resulting from disputes between parishioners of different Orthodox communities, she said.�Ukrainian law enforcement�s response in these cases has failed to sufficiently investigate incidents and take action to protect members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, she added.�

She drew attention to the Ukraine Parliament�s first-reading approval of draft amendments to the law on religious organizations, which, if adopted, would establish a procedure to dissolve �religious organizations affiliated with influence centres, the management of which is located in a country, which carries out armed aggression against Ukraine�.� Lawmakers must clearly define the specific legitimate aim of the proposed restrictions and ensure their necessity and proportionality and revise the text accordingly, she said.

Meanwhile, although international humanitarian law obliges an occupying Power to respect the laws in force in the country, the Russian Federation is applying its own laws in occupied territory, she said.�Elaborating, she detailed restrictions on religious minorities and cases of alleged torture of clergy.

Vakhtang Kipshidze, Vice-Chairman of Synodal Department for Church�s Relations with Society and Mass Media, Moscow Patriarchate, who also briefed the Council, said:� �An analysis of the situation leads us to the assessment that the authorities of the country have an objective of completely annihilating the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.�� Believers who do not want to convert to the Orthodox Church [of Ukraine], established by current Ukrainian authorities in 2018, will be stripped of their rights, he said.�

�The first step to the restoration of peace in Ukraine is the end to persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church,� he said, calling on Council members to abandon political differences for the sake of the principle of religious freedom and adopt effective measures to protect worshipers in Ukraine.

During the debate that followed, the Russian Federation�s representative, said that the Ukraine Parliament�s draft legislation would completely ban the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.� The Kyiv regime is trying to justify the purge of the country�s religious field and free the hands of radicals to violence and lawlessness, he added, pointing to seizures of churches and forced illegal legal liquidation of their communities under the guise of supposedly �voluntary transitions� to other faiths, since 2019.� Despite OHCHR documenting 10�cases of physical violence and six cases of threats after conflicts between parishioners of different Orthodox Christian communities, the Council�s Western members continue to ignore this, he said, pointing to �an attempt to reform the consciousness of tens of millions of Ukrainians�.

The United States� delegate, however, said that the Russian Federation�s use of the Council to further disinformation was additional evidence that it does not respect freedom of expression and belief around the world.�He also expressed alarm that the Russian Federation is trying to justify its invasion by framing the war as a holy war between good and evil.� �We should all see through this fa�ade� and focus on the well-documented and systematic policy of religious oppression in the territories under Russian Federation occupation, he said.

Last update we have is they are not and Ukraine say the Russian will prevent it.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad/96497

quote:

There are no limits to fantasies. The head of the office of the President of Ukraine came up with the idea that Russia was trying to disrupt the first peace summit in Switzerland.

Andrei Ermak said that the event will take place on June 15 and 16, but the Russian side is allegedly trying to prevent it. �We know about all the plans,� Ermak claims, but he cannot say anything more specific. Because these are fantasies out of nowhere.

The main task of the Ukrainian peace formula is to unite the world community around a fair solution. The principles of the summit were developed and agreed upon during a series of international meetings of national security advisers initiated by the office of the President of Ukraine,
- said Ermak.

According to him, the summit can become a platform for achieving
"comprehensive and lasting peace in Ukraine."

Switzerland officially stated that the Russian Federation was not invited to the summit. At the same time, more than 160 delegations from around the world will attend the event.

Dmitry Peskov said that any negotiations on Ukraine without Russia are not aimed at results. Residents of our country understand that nothing should be expected from this clownery.

The problem is that the Ukrainian authorities, by holding such events, give their population false hope that peace negotiations are possible. Ukrainians are tired of war, and some of them may believe that the summit in Switzerland will solve something. But without Russia, this will not happen.

Zelensky prohibited negotiations with our country at the legal level. It follows from this that any such summits and other dances with tambourines only imitate vigorous activity, and everything is decided on the front line.
