#Ukraine Zelensky made another statement about the elections in a video call with Keir Starmer. Not exact words, but Iโm trying to reproduce the diplomatic depth behind what he actually said:
Ukraine, of course, does not evade elections, and as any democratic country is ready to conduct them as soon as the respectable President Trump in his endless wisdom will convince his peace loving partner President Putin to guarantee a full ceasefire for the whole electoral process.
And I find it brilliant move ๐
The EU Council has approved a โฌ2.3โฏbillion sixth tranche for Ukraine under the Ukraine Facility. This funding reflects Ukraineโs completion of eight required steps and progress on a step from the fourth tranche. The money is aimed at strengthening macroโfinancial stability and supporting public administration.
Disbursements are tied to Ukraineโs Reform Plan, which outlines recovery, reconstruction, modernization, and EU accessionโaligned reforms.
Zelenskyy says the U.S. floated a plan to make the rest of the Donbas a โfree economic zone,โ which would mean #Ukraine troops pull back while #Russia also stays out of areas it hasnโt occupied.
I will tell you what would really happen: the same second ZSU leaves the towns, crowds of โmen wearing military uniforms with no identification signsโ will rush from the other direction and form a โlocal self-defenseโ.
Then the arrests and looting will start.
How do we know? Because thatโs precisely what happened in #Donbas in 2014 while Western diplomacies were raising lukewarm โconcernsโ and โcondemnationsโ.
๐ฌ Zelenskiy said the U.S. is offering as a compromise to create a "free economic zone" in the Ukraine-controlled (!) parts of the eastern Donbas which #Russia has demanded that #Ukraine cede ๐คฆ

@Random Penguin Capabilities are really flexible, but it would have to be wired in so many parts of the Friendica codebase that it isn't realistic given the (lack of) manpower Friendica enjoys at the moment.
It will have to be a simple flag at first, and then if need arises it could be made more complex.
I would like to have a separated "Moderator" role, but the sad truth is that I guess that I don't have the capacity to add it. There are a lot of things that would be nice to see them being added to Friendica, but my available time is limited. The list of issues on our repository is constantly growing and just maintaining and improving already existing functionality eats up most of my time.
I guess that we will only have this in the system when we find additional coding resources.
