It's probably moot as Moscow signals it won't sign anything.

💔 Ternopil mourns. The death toll has risen to 34 after a russian strike destroyed a multi-storey building.
Among the missing are two men, three women, and a child. Families wait in unbearable silence, clinging to hope that may never come.

Honestly. Whenever I hear someone claim that Socialism doesn't work, or is somehow worse than the Capitalist system that's choking us to death, I know that I can safely disregard anything else they have to say.
Their voice becomes that of an adult in a Peanuts special, though, which is always fun.
