Russia Dismisses Peace Efforts as Bombardment of Ukraine Intensifies
In a stark demonstration of defiance, the Kremlin has brushed aside renewed international efforts aimed at brokering peace in the protracted conflict with Ukraine. As the situation escalates, Redmond Shannon sheds light on Russia’s latest military operations, which have seen intensified bombardments across Ukrainian territories. This latest surge in aggression casts a shadow over the diminishing hopes for a diplomatic resolution, as Moscow firmly rules out any future discussions on peace talks.
The backdrop to Russia’s obstinacy is a complex web of geopolitical dynamics, with the international community growing increasingly frustrated at Moscow’s lack of engagement. Analysts suggest that the Kremlin’s dismissal of peace proposals signals a troubling trend, as Russian President Vladimir Putin appears more focused on asserting military dominance than addressing humanitarian concerns. This bold stance not only exacerbates the suffering of those in Ukraine but also complicates the already fragile diplomatic landscape.
The situation has further inflamed tensions between Russia and Western powers, which have long condemned the invasion. As bombs continue to rain down on Ukrainian cities, questions arise about the efficacy of global diplomatic efforts. Redmond Shannon emphasizes that while there have been calls from various corners of the world to rein in the conflict, the Kremlin’s hardline approach leaves little room for optimism in achieving lasting peace.
As the conflict grinds on, the human toll becomes increasingly evident. Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the bombardment, with the prospect of a peaceful resolution growing ever more distant. Efforts to bring both sides to the negotiating table have faltered, leaving many to wonder how much longer this devastating war can continue without significant international intervention.
In summary, as the conflict escalates, so does the urgency for a renewed commitment from the international community to address the dire humanitarian crisis and seek a diplomatic end to hostilities. Without a shift in strategy from the Kremlin, hopes for peace may remain nothing more than a distant dream.

Russia oligarchs want donbas and crimea oil. Lot of people are unaware of
Can't help but cry in sadness. Your report ended in the truest sense of excellence – in every respect. Now if we could just get "the rest of our world" to show the SLIGHTEST sense of the kind of compassion and generosity [sorry… typing's over…..can't see thru my tears].
It is crazy how there are 38% of Americans still supporting Trump, it is like they are beyond stupid and self destructive, Trump is smacking them in the face by removing all programs, making them broke as hell and they're still supporting him. I can't understand that kind of
stupid😳
Biden was right..Trump was wrong..Russians only respect strength ..America needs to give much, much more powerful and offensive weapons to Ukraine.
Canada is moving too slow in creating and attaining new markets, Trump is in office for 4 years, it is better to find new markets that are more stable, trying to hang on to what was, will not work. Time for Canada to move on for the next 4 years. Trump is a snake and will withdraw from deals without blinking, don't people see that by now? Augh.
I can't understand why Canada slapped the 100% tariff on China thinking that there will be no retaliation.
And why isn't Canada retaliating on the steel and aluminium tariff, it should be tit for tat, that is how Trp would back down because they need the steel and aluminium.
And why would Canada make the announcement about the Israel/Palestine war right during a trade negotiation🤦 Canada should have announced it after the trade deal is done. Shaking my head at so many educated people not thinking properly. There is a major lack of practical thinking going on in the government.
Support Putin and Russia from Canada . Western hypocrisy is disgusting .
They send bombs how's that going to want peace
8:31 canola growers?!? The additive responsible for making everyone fat??? Let them go out of business.

Georgia started war with Russia: EU-backed report

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – An independent report blamed Georgia on Wednesday for starting last year's five-day war with Russia, but said Moscow's military response went beyond reasonable limits and violated international law.
The report commissioned by the European Union said both sides had broken international humanitarian laws and found evidence of ethnic cleansing against ethnic Georgians during Russia's intervention in the rebel province of South Ossetia.
Each side said the report backed up its interpretation of the war. But the findings were particularly critical of U.S. ally Georgia's conduct under President Mikheil Saakashvili and are likely to further damage his political standing.
They could also deepen Western concerns about his leadership and the stability of the former Soviet republic which have set back its hopes of joining NATO and the EU and shaken confidence in oil and gas routes running through the South Caucasus.
"In the Mission's view, it was Georgia which triggered off the war when it attacked Tskhinvali (in South Ossetia) with heavy artillery on the night of 7 to 8 August 2008," said Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini, who led the investigation.
God bless Russia
How ridiculous….making EV vehicles when nobody wants them. Nor can we afford them.

Carney sounds a different man as PM than when he was candidate!…🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You cant reason with putin he just does what he wants
Laughrov is the most evil man on the planet. It takes a monster like putler to invade a country after they he makes them give up their weapons but a monster to lie to the world about the reasons and blame the victims. These two are making a mockery of the world. When will countries turn up the heat on russia and any other country that is funding them in their invasion. Putin is making a joke of the ICC as he travels all around the world without care. The US inviting him to Alaska proves that their leadership has either no respect for the ICC or Ukraine. Peace is not in putin's vocabulary.
Ya all the fictional clowns from American tv all taking over the American government what a gong show
The national guard was deployed only to prepare DC for a hurricane. Trumps sharpie told him.
This is fundamentally and possibly given the crucial relationship Canada & The United States has with regulations governing environmental factors Canada has in place with a major component powering the Green vehicles German Manufacturer Volkswagen will need in the powering of it vehicles… what tariffs will Canada face with the processing of raw materials sent to China for refinement in the manufacturing of rechargeable batteries, and how is tesla bearing the same given the magnitude of its operation…?
