Although the war is helping kill Europe, most European leaders have no interest in peace in Ukraine. From Paul Collits at paulcollits.substack.com:
Every so often it strikes you that there are some faces you see that you just want to punch. It is an instantaneous reaction. Mercifully, for those of us trying to suppress the hate gene, it doesn’t happen very often.
In this case, it is two for the price of one. Sir Keir Groomer and President Micron. On the Ukraine case, afresh. Keeping the Monty Pythonesque dead parrot of a war going.

Each are loathed by their own people – Sir Groomer got a “landslide” with barely a third of the vote, and Micron’s French party was smashed in the last parliamentary election – yet still slithering around on the international stage. And doing their best to keep lost wars going, and keeping aflame the dying embers of hope that we will get World War III after all. Throw the unflushable Boris Johnson into the mix, and you have a heady brew, as Frederick Edward points out:
This is, of course, Boris Johnson, who, it is claimed by Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov (and there is apparently no evidence to the contrary), three long years ago in Istanbul convinced the Ukrainians not to make a peace deal with Moscow one hour before they were due to sign it. Johnson’s ego, Lavrov said, doomed Ukraine to eternal conflict.
