OTD in 1945 the Battle of Seelow Heights began. The Red Army, getting 30% of its supplies thru US lend lease, crossed into the invader's territory for the first time.
A "dangerous escalation" of the war.

To strengthen Ukraine's position Estonia is sending 10,000 artillery shells and 750,000 food packages for Ukrainian fighters.
At the earliest opportunity, this will be supplemented with our own defence industry products worth over 100 million euros.

And then we never invaded & all you imperialists were proved wrong. So you can believe us now about negotiating.

Election = Coup
Negotiation = Capitulation
Cooperation = Submission
Peacekeeping = Occupation
For example, "Russia will accept negotiations after Ukraine has an election."
