Am I the only one who thinks Putin would be stupid not to agree? All he has to do is wait long enough to force Ukrainian elections, then reinvade. Problem solved for him.
The public statement has been that Kremlin wants to get a permanent solution in place. They dont want to have a conflict on their borders in the future again.
Well then all they have to do is quit starting them. Easy peasy.
Ohhh, they don’t want a future conflict on their borders? Then maybe don’t fucking start one, that was and will always be an option.
Isn’t this basically “the deal is done - we just need the other party to agree”? (same kind of announcement Israel and Hamas took turns at)
Ukraine needs all the help they can get, so it makes sense to play the USA like that, even if it is actually really stupid. Better stupid and saving countless lives…
We’ll see. Russia reps stated they were not interested in ceasefire for the sake of ceasefire so it depends on what concessions Ukraine made or what other pressure is applied.
I wonder what Trumps response is going to be when Putin rejects the offer. Doubt he’s going to go as hard on him as he did with Zelenskyy.
Trump definitely gets hard around Putin but for all the wrong reasons
