Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Friday to "immediately" order a ceasefire in Ukraine and start negotiations if Kyiv began withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow in 2022 and renounced plans to join NATO. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected what he called an ultimatum by Putin to surrender more territory.
You’re right, only the pro-genocidal white supremacist West gets to decide that Ukraine should still fight after losing 3 entire militaries, sacrificing most of their military aged citizens, and having their production decimated by a vastly superior military. Only the West gets to decide that Nazis should be funded, armed, and trained openly.
Putin has not jailed opposition parties, if you’re referring to Navalny he never had more than 3% support in Russia. The actual opposition is KPRF that has around 30% support. Meanwhile, journalists are jailed in the west all the time as well. Assange being a perfect example. Finally, the numbers for Putin’s support are openly admitted in western media. Why would you lie about something like this?
Really? Seems to me like they were trying to capture kiev and depose the government and quickly set up one friendly to them. You think that’s happened?
One has to be gullible beyond belief to believe in the premise that Russia was trying to capture Kiev with 100k troops. In fact, we now have admissions from Ukrainians themselves that Russian aim was to get Ukraine to accept negotiations in Istanbul. This was almost achieved, but the west sabotaged them and here we are now. The terms Ukraine would have received at the time were immeasurably better than anything it can possibly hope for today.
Of course Russia’s aims were to get Ukraine to accept their terms in Istanbul, namely that they get to keep what they’ve stolen. Fundamentally the same offer in the headline here.
It makes perfect sense as a diversion, and plenty of military experts explained how this diversion pinned large parts of Ukrainian army in the west while Russia secured positions in the east.
The fact that you get your ideas about the war from these sorts of youtube channels as opposed to people with actual military experience explains why you believe in nonsensical things.

The offer in Istanbul was completely different. It required Ukraine to implement Minsk agreements which both Ukraine and the west claimed to support, and to stay neutral. Now, Ukraine is losing large parts of its territory, and the deal will only get worse. At least learn a bit about the subject you’re attempting to opine on.
Apparently at least 134 lemmy users who claim to support Ukraine seem to think that yes, Ukraine should be flattened rather than have peace. With friends like these, who needs enemies? But then it’s pretty clear that most of them don’t actually care about Ukrainian people, since it’s fine with them that Ukrainians who want nothing to do with it are being conscripted and forced to fight against their will and die so long as that mean old Putler doesn’t get his way!
Would you rather Kyviv be flattened? The side that has lost a war doesn’t usually get to dictate terms.

And you pro-genocide Amerikkkan propagandists don’t get to dictate to Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian for American interests.
so brave
So stupid to support a dictator
So you admit being stupid for supporting a dictator who banned opposition parties, shut down free media, and cancelled elections?
Putin that applies to, not Zelenskyy.
Ah things that happened in Ukraine apply to Russia. That’s some impressive galaxy brain logic you’ve got going.
Putin jailed opposition parties and critical journalists. He holds elections, but doesn’t give the actual numbers, meaning they’re just polls.

Who lost though?
I mean looking at Russia death count, economy, status, and making NATO stronger. I say Russia has.
The Ukraine lost. It’s joever.
Now they’re going to concede even more of the territories they were carrying out their Nazi ethnic cleansing on.
Yeah so why should Russia dictate the terms?
Because Russia won the war.

It makes no sense as a diversion. Way too much effort for that. They thought they’d face little resistance, similar to Crimea.

of course it’s a lemmy.ml account
First of all that’s not a argument, and second of all you’re on lemmy.ml Braniac.
