Putin sets out Russia's conditions for peace talks with Ukraine - Guardian News

[TexasTowelie]

Vladimir Putin says Russia will order a ceasefire and enter peace talks if Ukraine drops its NATO ambitions and withdraws its forces from four Ukrainian regions claimed by Moscow. On the eve of a peace conference in Switzerland to which Russia has not been invited, Putin set out a series of conditions at odds with the terms demanded by Ukraine. Russia controls nearly a fifth of Ukrainian territory in the third year of the war. Ukraine says peace can only be based on a full withdrawal of Russian forces and the restoration of its territorial integrity.

3. It's confirmed. Putin is an idiot.

Make no mistake, he's also a mass murderer and a psychopath. But he's an idiot as well for even making this proposal. Who is his audience? No one believes him to keep commitments on anything. Besides, his proposal leaves nothing for UKR nor NATO. How can he be more craven? And stupid? The subtext here is, "I'm going to kill more Russians and Ukrainians because I can. Death is my business, and business is booming."

5. To Putin a to do list:

Get out of all of the Ukraine including Crimea
Return all of the > 50,000 Ukrainian children you kidnapped
Catch a bullet in your brain pan from some Russians that you have stolen from,
gotten a family member or friend killed in your unneeded war in Ukraine, or one
his own people.

7. Zelensky should say:

'We'll be happy to withdraw all the Russian troops from the Donbas as soon as we've captured all of the survivors.'

8. Translation...

... he needs a break. He will keep more land and invade again in a few years. Also, if there is a Ukraine when this ends, NATO is a guarantee; mr. Putin does not vote in who NATO admits.

9. Peace talks? Hah

Only if Russia returns the land and Putin is dead.
