Vladimir Putin issues fresh demands to Ukraine to end war
Russian president’s new ultimatum comes as foreign envoys meet in Switzerland to discuss western-led peace plan

Vladimir Putin has demanded that Kyiv cede more land, withdraw troops deeper inside its own country, and drop its Nato bid in order for him to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Putin’s fresh ceasefire demands were issued as envoys from more than 90 countries, including Ukraine, convene in Switzerland this weekend to discuss a western-led peace plan. Russia is not invited to the conference and the president’s remarks on Friday were likely to have been timed as a spoiler to that summit.
Speaking with diplomats at the Russian foreign ministry, Putin publicly updated his terms for ending the war in Ukraine for the first time since he launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022, when he demanded regime change in Kyiv and the country’s “demilitarisation”.
The US defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, said Putin was in “no position” to make demands on Ukraine and could end the war he had started “today if he chose to do that.”
We really have to stop taking this authoritarian clown serious. He might have ICBM, but his demands are so outrages and so far away from reality, that he cant be taken serious. He is a Bully offering his victim a week of not-bullying, if he gets big parts of his lunchmoney and demands that his victim is not getting into a clique that could protect him from the bulling. That is a really bad deal.
Russians have lost reality since 1991. Most Russians define their country as a world power. How can they still think they are on par with America or China when it comes to worldpolitics and strength. It is straight delusional. They are on one step with North Korea.
Do not give Russia one Inch. We increased the sanctions bit by bit. Russia did not respond in any sane way. Let them rot. I lose my patients with a bully that is that stubborn. They will falter sooner or later and we documented their downward spiral for anyone who has questions in history class in the next 30 years. Imagine getting dealt the cards putin had in 2000, and find yourself 24 years later in this dead end street. What a loser. You could have been the Asian Canada... and he choosed to grift from his own country and play power games. Fuckin Moron. Learned nothing.
and drop its Nato bid
"You need to let me invade you later if you want me to stop attacking you now"
I keep asking for peace (and loss of their territories i waged war on) but they won't cooperate 😭😭😭😭😭
