Russian President Vladimir Putin told the leaders of the Group of Twenty (G20) on Wednesday that it was necessary to think about how to stop "the tragedy" of the war in Ukraine, some of his most placatory remarks to date about the conflict.

I’m honestly hesitant to post this here, but… the absolute ludicrosity compels me. How? How does he have the gall to say something like that? He ought to burst into flames on the spot.

    im seeing experts on youtube explainjng how some are saying that its been a stalemate for so long with so many casualties… neither side appears to have the stomach to scale up the money/weapons/political costs necessary to drastically change the math, so its likely time to negotiate something… likely ukraine promises not to join the EU/NATO and the territories will be split somehow.

      Russia is free to go the fuck home. Until then, I will continue to send money and I will implore my government to continue to send bullets to the Ukrainians defending their homes from the invader.

      You should probably widen your media diet, there’s active information warfare going on from both sides and their allies, a lot of misinformation and propaganda abound.

      Besides, Ukraine not long ago did promise to remove their nukes in exchange for not guarantees of not being invaded by Russia.

      Promises made by the same sitting head of state.

      Makes it hard to trust any deal that isn’t surrendering the country.

      How does one “scale up the money”? That doesn’t make sense.

      You seriously believe that Ukraine is holding back? You think they wouldn’t "drastically change the math"s if they could?
