Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had trapped the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in its western Kursk region, where they have held on for more than seven months in one of the most important battles of the war.

      Ukraine shouldn’t have started it by wanting to be independent of Russia.

        Ukraine asked for it. By the way she dressed. If Ukraine didn’t want to be invaded, she should have just kept an aspirin between her knees

    Europe, I hope y’all are doing the whole “speak quietly and carry a big stick.”

    Because if Putin steam rolls Ukraine, he’s not stopping there, and now he has the US government under his control too.

    After reading this article, I have to say that the headline/image are pretty misleading. He was talking about Kursk, the region of Russia that Ukraine invaded: he said it’s back under Russian control and the Ukraine forces there are surrounded. Then he said they have two options: surrender or die.

    I’m not defending Putin here. Just that he’s evil enough without actually taking things out of context to twist what actually happened into some clickbait headline.

        Frankly the news media have been suspect from the very beginning. There’s never been a time when they were not biased or sensationalist. All we can do is read them critically, and not rely overly much on any single source.

    So… Let me check I get this right on the timeline.

    America Europe Ukraine meet, agree to a 30 day ceasefire. Agree this tests if Russia is serious about ending the war. Putin gobbs off, surrender or die.

    Categorical that Russia is not serious about ending the war.

    Next steps boys

      Because they need Ukrainian resources or the Russian state goes bankrupt and that’s the end of Russia.

    Headline will probably work as well if you just switch positions of “Putin” and “Ukrainians”.

    Edit: The words in the headline, you dinguses. Switch the positions of the words and the headline will probably be true just the same way 🤦😄

      Let’s delve a bit deeper into this: The Russia surrendering means it exists only within its borders. Ukraine is not going to kill Russians inside the Russia, nor do anything else to them either. They kill what they have to, in order to get the Russia out of Ukraine.

      Ukraine surrendering means it exists within no borders whatsoever. The Russia is killing Ukrainians inside Ukraine, and will continue doing so even if the war ends.

      So, Putin says Ukraine must surrender or all people of Ukraine in Ukraine will die. And you’re saying it could be said that Ukraine “says” the Russia must surrender or all people of the Russian Federation in Ukraine will die. I think there’s a very important difference between these two. While it would be idiotic to kill all Russians (Rossijskie) in Ukraine, it would still mean “only” killing them in one country outside their own. Killing all Ukrainians in Ukraine would mean killing them in their own country.

      Dude, how do you suppose Ukraine would kill everyone in an area 7000 km wide?

        You, and 67 other people didn’t catch my drift. Edited the comment to make clear what I meant.
