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.

    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.

            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?

            They now tend to see the weakness of the Russian anti-war movement as a mark of complicity among the Russian public, and they are dismayed by Putin’s approval rating: independent pollsters have measured it at over 80% support more than two years into the invasion. Even President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team have all but given up on their hopes of a popular backlash in Russia against the war.
