Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has said there will be no more wars after Ukraine if Russia is treated with respect - and claims that Moscow is planning to attack European countries are “nonsense”.
On 5 December 1994, at a ceremony in Budapest, Ukraine joined Belarus and Kazakhstan in giving up their nuclear arsenals in return for security guarantees from the United States, the UK, France, China and Russia.
This aged like fine milk.
Just special military operations, obviously. Not wars. Wars are a bad thing.
then be respectable and hold legitimate elections you Nazi piece of shit.
Just like he promised after stealing the Crimea in 2014?
Respect the criminal.
Before the war, ordinary Russians were slowly getting fed up with Putin. As per the dictator’s playbook, Putin is stoking the base tribalism of the citizens to distract them from his government’s own corruption. The world respects Russia, it’s only that the world doesn’t respect him.
When did Pootin’ become the evil Rodney Dangerfield?
What about special military operations tho?
Yeah right. And meanwhile he’ll still be running the bot farms, relentless disinformation campaigns and killing people he doesn’t like on foreign soil.
Respect is earned.
We’re talking about Putin here, not the US.
Or did you forget that we’re literally sponsoring a genocide and bombing fisherman as you type this?
And ‘hybrid warfare’ anchor dragging across international telecom cables, etc, etc.
“I swear, this is our last imperialist incursion into another sovereignty if you respect us by giving us the land we encroached upon and other economic rewards for having done it. Pinky swear!”
Putin is on the back foot.
This isn’t the first story that had me feeling the same. He’s not flat out desperate yet, but the fall is inevitable.
As if Putler can be trusted.
In 2004 Putin said: We have settled all our border issues. What this amounts to is full and absolute recognition of and respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty, not only as concerns its land borders, but also its sea borders. Source: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/22661
Liar tells a lie.
