Vladimir Putin has offered to halt his invasion of Ukraine across the current front line as part of efforts to reach a peace deal with US President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.

    Putin what about we fast forward to the point where you shoot yourself in a bunker? That would make everything better

      This really is a tremendous show of weakness… unless it’s a ploy somehow.

        The ploy is that when Ukraine refuses it gives the US (Trump/Krasnov) an excuse to stop delivering military aid to Ukraine.

          That makes a lot of sense.

          Does Trump care about constructing justifications for his actions though? Seems like he enjoys shooting from the hip and, if ever in doubt, opts for strategies that will piss the most people off.

          yea most likely they want to reduce local and global support to Zelensky by saying “look we offered peace but he did not take”, of course they will likely offer some unacceptable terms.

    Counter-offer, Vlad: Fuck aaaall the way off back to Russia, then “fall” out a window so someone else can get started on blaming you for everything going wrong and reverse all your horrific garbage.

    Sound good?

    I did read right now, that a big depot of munition and bombs got blown up by Ukraine… Maybe he just wants to buy time?

    When the aggressor is on his back foot, and looking to secure his gains by offering “peace,” you keep fighting.

    Just another bait-and-switch, to dupe cantaloupe caligula into agreeing a “peace deal”, which the US won’t be able to enforce anyways. Moving on. This guys word is worth less than dirt anyways.

    Obviously he’s full of shit, but it’s funny to note that because Ukraine currently has presence in Russia, stopping along the current front line would mean giving up Russian territory to Ukraine.

        Unfortunately “deserves” doesn’t work in international politics. Otherwise a certain someone would’ve slipped on a banana peel out of a window.

        This would be at least a stable peace

    Play the Uno Reverse! Push into Russian territory and annex as much of it as possible whine their forces are weakened
