Zelensky is out of his depth. Imagine a leader trying to sell a "no negotiation" 10 point peace with Russia from the weakest position they have ever been in , in the war
Zelensky doesnt have any negotiation power at all
You have cracked the case, It is of vital importance that Russia keeps the mighty Irish military out of the conflict, the FSB is pouring all resources into boards to win the posters over, as old Russian proverbs goes, when Boards decides to go to war, the might Irish military will conquer the world.
Or it could be some around here haven't drank the NATO kool-aid, I don't know which one is more likely😉
Nope. Anybody approaching Russia like a normal good faith party to peace negotiations would be showing they are out of their depth.
Normal negotiations didnt work out well for Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia etc in the past.
Funny, Russia being so absolutely, flawlessly great, undefeated, undefeatable, indefatigable, military and economic powerhouse, a shining beacon of humanity, basically the new Aryan Supermen that are our betters in every way, how did they not win this war in three days?
Wonder if they're maybe not as great as some make them out to be.

Is this the same Gazprom that announced their worst loss in over twenty years last week?
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/russias-gazprom-swings-into-69-billion-net-loss-2023-2024-05-02/
Oh and that was from Gazprom's own figures from their own mouths in Moscow. And the question you're missing is how much was France paying Russia before this war?
Politics isn't so black and white. Is it possible that EU and US leaders are not operating in good faith ?
This leads to understable mistrust on both sides?
https://www.reuters.com/world/putin-russia-may-have-make-ukraine-deal-one-day-partners-cheated-past-2022-12-09/
Nope.
The IMF are merely reporting figures declared by Russia. Which is a dictatorship in control of information disclosed.
In the US, EU there is freedom of press, independent bodies involved in reporting of statistics and information. People can question the data etc without fear of having an accident at an open window.
Yep, it is crystal clear you are just here dumping Russian propaganda without scrutiny or question. So let's get this clear, you are either happy to or unable to determine that the information coming from Russia is garbage.
Did you even read the article?
How you think it proves anything is anybody's guess.
It is just a self serving claim \ lie from Putin, without foundation.
Garbage you repeat here without scrutiny.
This is the Russia which has broken multiple agreements with Ukraine, all the way back to Budapest, which is violated multiple times. That treaty guaranteed Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
Do you deny that Russia has violated that agreement multiple times?
If you do not answer, it will be proof you know they have.
Mistrust when dealing with Russia is fully justified.
Mistrust you say?
Here is the Russian foreign minister blatantly lying about Budapest.
Putin's claims about Minsk are as reliable.

Someone got a promotion it seems. The signs are good for UA
Read their posts and the opposite is true. Only way you get an idea.
It's not a lie. It is What Merkel has said on record. You can read it here for your self here

"But Merkel said the agreement had nevertheless helped buy Kyiv time to arm itself better against the Russian military"
@forrestgeorge threadbanned
And here was me thinking something happened seeing all the new pages, but alas no it’s just the manure spreading time of year again
Are they buying anything like the same amount as before? That's a hard no and a hard fact. Gazprom's own figures alone show this. They couldn't sell anything like before even if all sides wanted to. The pipelines are offline and two of them don't exist anymore.
Liking the conspiratorial angle though. To be fair that has worked well for the Kremlin spin machine. If you see anyone online down the WEF/Vax/Deep state/MAGA rabbithole, it's guaranteed they're now a Russian supporter. To be fair in Cold War 1 the Kremlin was always very adept at hijacking fringe groups in the West, so it's not a shock now.
Annnnd we're back to "Russia is fighting all of NATO" and at the same time "NATO is a lame duck" and "We've got nukes y'know". I do love the classics.
See you in the next incarnation….
It is a lie from Putin.
Nobody trusted Putin to abide by the deal and Russia did not. So entirely legitimate to bolster Ukraine for that eventuality. That is what Merkel says.
As per Budapest Russia acknowledged the regions as part of Ukraine.
You didnt answer the point about Budapest therefore as per my previous post to you, we can conclude you accept Russia violated it multiple times and the mistrust of Putin is fully justified.
Russia lied about Budapest after it broke the agreement.
Here are more Russian lies about Minsk... rinse and repeat.
Party to the Minsk Agreements. The original Minsk signatories are Russia, Ukraine, and the OSCE. Russia is a protagonist in the war in Ukraine and is fully obliged to follow the deal’s terms. Despite that, however, Russia untruthfully claims not to be a party and only a facilitator — and that the real agreements are between Ukraine and the so-called “separatists,” who call themselves the Luhansk and Donetsk Peoples’ Republics (LPR and DPR), but are in fact Russian supplied and directed.

Lol. If my idle speculation was close to the mark, it depresses me more than anything else. 🤔
Hope people that sold their soul can somehow find a way on to a better path in life (after a time in purgatory).
Seems a Russian official who set up torture chambers in what some call a concentration camp was killed this morning in a car bomb attack in Russian occupied Zaporizhzhia.
This May 9th party is going to be rocking!!
I'm curious. Can you show me a photo of a Ukrainian M1 or Leopard without the turret attached? I
If they want to display the finest specimens to make their capture look more impressive then why do they feel the need to damage them more once they got to the display site? On the plus side, they won't be getting more intelligence from that one..

Oh, must have missed that. Thanks
The fun childrens' show is still on, I think. The people might be missing the military parade, but at least they can still brainwash their kids.
Amazing how the Russians don't just own their Nazi proclivities.
Almost as if they have a residue of shame.

The Vatniks are easily banned, but they'll soon be back. And in greater numbers.
I give you Chay Bowes.
The same media that talked up summer offensives is now doing reverse in the last few months
Some interesting points there that the 1km a month advance in some areas looks weak compared to what Ukrainians done last summer especially when one compares the artillery differences
It seems they done it again
Ukraine advance a couple of kilometres after throwing the kitchen sink at Russia,
"Looks like Ukraine's offensive is slow going"
Russia advance a couple of kilometers after throwing the kitchen sink at Ukraine,
"Is the war turning in Russia's favour?"
