April 23—Operating out of Ukraine’s Office of the President, the head of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Oleksiy Danilov, reacted today against the possibility of an outbreak of peace: “When the goal of the Russian aggressor remains the same —to destroy Ukraine—recent peace settlement initiatives are pro-Russian peacemaking. Don’t try to put us at the negotiating table, give us enough weapons. Weapons are the best mediator and a clear argument for Russia in communication.”

As doubts increase in U.S. military circles about Ukraine's ability to win the war against Russia, the deluded war hawks push for an attack on Crimea.
