Typical approach of dictators: launch a totally misconceived war and fire the generals when it goes wrong. Military should turn their fire on that stupid bast*rd and end the misery for everyone
I think there are two negotiations going on with Russia.
1. Where Russia has a knife to the throat of Ukraine. Ukraine will give concessions to get Russia out of their country, and put a stop to the killing of their people.
2. Russia asking, erm, we've a deal done with Ukraine, why are there still sanctions ? That's when Russia/Putin finally realise their mistake.
It's not the Russian bear that's been woken, but the slumbering West realising its mistake in relying on Russia and CHINA!
Can't believe this folksy Russian outdoorsman, ended up being a Danish neo-Nazi on the run LOL. I spotted the accent straight away, but didn't have him down as a goose stepper. Poor chap and his injured mouth in childhood...
If they did so much damage to your country you would think the same....
Yep, as others have said there will be some public recriminations against the 'generals' so as to put the blame on them rather than the Kremlin prick. Wouldn't be surprised if some of them 'disappear' or 'retire' to Siberia.
Some people get easily taken in by a folksy swagger.
More fool them 😂
They are there for their ratings... Janas, authoritarian, has election next months. PiS , next authoritarian government, want to gain points as well after recent fallings...
I want Putin tarred & feathered, and kept in a cage in a central square in Kyiv, relying solely on scraps of food from passers by to live on. He should be let out of the cage regularly to dig graves.
I'm not joking.
You'd be an excellent negotiator. Start off by aiming high.
The concessions or compromises being talked about are not red lines for Ukraine and largely the product of Zelenskiy's many demands of the West. A "neutral" Ukraine was a war aim and that's definitely an opportunity for them to scurry off home. They'll probably get those new pointless statelets as well.
I am Polish and I know first hand, how much polish volunteers are doing, while government does very little and takes all the credit.
Polish oil companies like Lotos or Orlen are still buying oil from Russia, convoys of trucks are crossing Poland heading to Belarus with no obstacles from our governement, while few refugees being blocked on the same border....
The EU is still buying Russian oil and gas. Can't turn that off in a day. There's all sorts of bureaucratic nonsense that takes place with sanctions. It isn't a one day to the next switch you can just turn off. The Poles are doing just fine. You should be proud.
Head of Interpol is from the UAE
Continually proved right. And posters threw jibes at me about being a red under the bed yesterday.
Oh how we laughed.
With everyday more misinformation campaigns are shown up and more twittery / social media grifters are exposed for their true origins.
And there are always always people out there to put them on a pedestal.
I didn't know that at all. Just assumed he was Russian. Survival Russia and all that.
Regardless of his origins, he now lives in Russia and the video is no less accurate.
Ukraine will have to get something in return as well though. It does seem like a bad deal if they get nothing in return, yet have to give up Crimea and Eastern Ukraine for good, they don't get to join NATO or possible the EU and their country or lots of it is a pile of rubble..?
I can see Ukraine formally handing over Crimea to Russia. Donbas region is a difficult one though. I think only around 50% of the population there is Russian loyalist. Give that away and it's a green light for Russia to start claiming all sorts of pieces of territory all around Europe using the same playbook.
Shouldn't the Russians be invading Russia to de-nazify it?

"Lars Agerbak was the leader of the far-right Danish organization National Front and once received paramilitary training in Russia. Though convicted of weapons-related charges in his native Denmark, he has since fled to Russia. "
It's already been decided when Russian armor rolled into Ukraine and the mask fully came off.
I'm hoping that the situation is drifting towards a "no negotiation required" scenario
As in, "maybe we'll let your army leave, unaccosted"
I would make an example of Putin, the Russians already know they're beaten. They won't get anything they wouldn't have gotten if they'd simply been fair in the first place. Thousands of citizens died needlessly. How many more are either maimed, traumatised or bereaved?
Putin doesn't deserve negotiation, a single bullet would have been infinitely cheaper
Now we know how much the sanctions hurt Russia.
Why would they want to hand over a piece of their coast that was stolen form them though.
Now there's an idea ,
That or sent to a Ukrainian prison to spend his days been used as a prison bitch
I think that comes subsequently once the Russians are gone. 'So, these sanctions you want us to lift, okay starting with Ukraine...'
No payment made as of yet.⏰
No worries, Can you recommend any other neo-Nazis I can follow? 😅😅
It seems Armenia are now Playing nice with turkey ,
Well yes, I admit I had absolutely no idea about his past. I watch some of his videos and they are very good. The recent videos about the effects of sanctions in a rural Russia community are relevant to this thread. Doesn't matter if he's a Nazi or Michael Martin.
He is correct in that assertion but they learnt it from the top.
Russia released a deep fake video of Zelenskyy asking Ukrainian troops to put down their weapons, the video was broadcast on state media
