I guess that the United Nations is just for planning luncheons and family reunions.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pretty much, but at least Russia and Ukraine are both members.

If Russia and Ukraine had seats in European Parliament,
they would have many more seats than in the United Nations.
More seats, more people, more chances to make an agreement.

Well, well, well. Zelenskyy was at the EU parliament today. Seems like the like him. Not so much for Pooty. So sad for Russia to be lead by yet another mad autocrat.

Good.
Putin can crawl into the European Parliament, declare peace and general retreat returning Ukraine to its internationally recognised borders, beg forgiveness, agree to pay reparations for all damage and distress, ask for an EU security force to be placed along the Russian side of the border and then go and crawl the length of Ukraine personally apologizing to each and every family of each and every dead, wounded or otherwise inconvenienced Ukrainian.

Putin could repay the domestic product Russia has stolen from Ukraine through it's annexation of the Crimean region.
That's generally estimated at somewhere between $4 billion and $6 billion a year. Let's call it an even $50 billion to be on the safe side.

Switzerland is neutral,
and a good place for peace talks.
Or Russia and Ukraine could be made full members of the European Union.

As soon as Russia meets the requirements they can apply. They would have to withdraw from Ukraine for one…

So neutral that Swiss politicians are publicity debating how to do a constitutional end run in order to supply weapons to Ukraine.
It's VERY clear which side the Swiss are on - in recent polling 70-80% of the population support Ukraine in the war and less than 10% report support for Russia.
Russia can make the first move and retreat from Ukraine.
But, Russia doesn't want to be made a full member of the European Union.
Russia has no interest in adopting any EU standards when it comes to civil, regulatory, social, economic, political or military policies or standards. In fact, Russia actively opposes EU positions:
It is authoritarian
It does not support a free press
It does not permit freedom of assembly
It does not permit free speech
It actively represses ethnic minorities
It actively represses LGBT individuals
It actively represses religious minorities
It invades its neighbours

It must meet new standards of debate.
Unless we want to debate the Russians at the Olympics.

So not only must the Russians be given EU membership, in spite of not meeting any of the requirements, the EU parliament must be retooled to host the a debate of if sovereignty is a thing? Not asking much are ya?
Random notion is random.

There is really no debate. None of the Russian atheletes belong at the Olympics. A large number of them are in the Russian Army anyway. Shouldn't they be fighting as dismounted infantry in Vuhledar?
