Kremlin says creation of "buffer zone" in Ukraine needs time

Russia said on Wednesday that its military was still working to create a "buffer zone" in Ukraine's Kharkiv region but this would take time.

President Vladimir Putin said in May that Russia was creating a buffer to protect its border regions, especially Belgorod which lies adjacent to Kharkiv, from Ukrainian attacks.

"Of course, the realisation of this task is time-consuming, it takes time. Work in this direction is under way," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked how long it would take for Russia to guarantee the security of Belgorod.

“Scratch a Russian, find a Mongol.”

Substitute Black or Jew for Mongol. See what I mean?

I wonder why so many people like you on the far left are supportive of actual Nazis. It makes me pity you. Does that mean I support Putin? No. But the active hatred you have for Russia and abject support of a Nazi regime is stunning.

Just because you love Nazis, you have to shut it. We’re tired of having our money wasted on giving tons back to Biden and his cronies. If Ukraine hadn’t started bombing the eastern Ukraine indigenous Russian population there, then they wouldn’t have asked for Russian’s help in 2014. If Obama had kept his people under control and NOT embracing the Ukraine corrupt government they had installed, then it wouldn’t have escalated. If he hadn’t been encouraging Ukraine’s joining NATO, which was very problematic, this wouldn’t have happened. If Biden hadn’t taken away the restrictions Trump put in place, this wouldn’t have happened. But, you seem to love the administration of traitors. If you’re supporting Ukraine, you’re supporting treason, Nazis, corruption and murder. If you support Russia, you’re fooling yourself. But, blatantly supporting Ukraine like you are shows you’re a Nazi lover.

So long as Biden keeps getting kickbacks, the carnage will continue. We have a completely corrupt administration backing another completely corrupt country and Russia is just pushing forward. So long as they’re not in NATO, and they give up Donbas, Russia will come to the table. They brought their worst and greenest troops, the old wasted munitions and armored vehicles and still kicking NATO’s butt.

Putin seized Crimea AFTER the Ukrainians bombed Crimea civilians. You rewrite history to meet the propaganda issued by the left. It’s crazy. It’s almost like history didn’t happen.

No, the correct assessment would be if Americans became a majority in a state in Mexico, and the Mexican government started bombing it, and we responded by taking it away from them. Then for 8 years, we stayed in there, and kept trying to take apart the corrupt Mexican government. They let actual Nazis take over parts of the Mexican government, and we decided to eliminate the threat. We took all the homeless people on our streets and offered them training as military units, and sent them in with all our old outdated equipment. That’s what Russia has done. Not even CLOSE to what you’re claiming. The Nazis are the bad guys in this. The Russians aren’t good, but they’re less bad.

Tell Putin to leave Ukraine. It’s not his country. Stop cheerleading his invasion.

Check out the link. One of the best chronologies that lays out how this 10 year old proxy war evolved:

LOL, that's nonsense, NO Crimean civilians were bombed, before the Russian "green little men" took over beginning Feb 27.

On 27 February, unmarked Russian forces with nationalist paramilitaries took over the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, with Russian special forces[131] seizing the building of the Supreme Council of Crimea and the building of the Council of Ministers in Simferopol.[132] Russian flags were raised over these buildings[133] and barricades were erected outside them.[134] Pro-Russian forces also occupied several localities in Kherson Oblast on the Arabat Spit, which is geographically a part of Crimea

Where in your little fantasy do you fit in Russia SEIZING AND ANNEXING Ukraine's territory, breaking numerous international treaties Russia AND Putin signed?

I’m not cheerleading, but you’re literally cheering Nazis. That’s as simple as that. There is no good guy in any of this. Try again. You’re just losing it. You’re supporting Nazis.

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the “denazification” of the country was “one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard.”
