Russia pulls out of peace talks as Ukraine declares 'People's Republic of Kursk'
Express UK ^ | 8/17/2024 | Oli Smith

Posted on 08/17/2024 7:51:48 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Secretive peace talks between Ukraine and Russia collapsed before they even started following Kyiv's incursion into the Kursk region last week.

The two countries were set to hold indirect talks in Qatar on a deal to halt strikes on energy and power infrastructure, in a first step towards a partial-ceasefire.

However, Russian officials were said to be furious at Ukraine’s surprise incursion, according to the Washington Post, which revealed the secret Doha talks.

Moscow’s delegation described it as “an escalation" and immediately pulled out of the talks this week. A Qatari diplomat said that Russia “didn’t call off the talks, they said give us time".

Since the proposed talks collapsed, Ukraine's surprise cross-border operation has entered its second week and appears to be strengthening, leading to an unprecedented crisis for Vladimir Putin.

Kyiv has so far seized at least 82 settlements, while more than 120,000 Russian civilians have fled the area.

In a tongue-in-joke jab at the Russian leader, Ukraine has now jokingly declared a 'Kursk People's Republic'.

Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk were photographed planting mock flags declaring the new republic, and joking that they had liberated it from Russia.

>>>>his voice is embarrassingly deep.<<<<

So were Jim Nabor's and Rock Hudson's voices deep and they were as queer as $3 bills.

>>>>I don’t really care, but that’s just reality, which is why the propaganda of going on about him as this wimpy fag is just dishonest.<<<<

This isn't a staged propaganda pic. It's a personal pic of Zelensky cuddling with a "friend".

Are you a clinical psychiatrist in real life or just pretending to be one on FR?

Do you know that you embarrass yourself with such silly efforts?

Do you hate Jim Nabors, Don Knotts (not gay) Or Rock Hudson?

All 3 personal favorites of mine.

And btw none of the three of them had deep speaking voices.

Yeah I’ll decide on the war because you’re a homophobe about a heterosexual man with a family. Not

Are you really that childishly homophobic or would you like to adnit you’re just using that for propaganda?

Let’s see, men can’t dance, can’t sit close to a friend, can’t engage in crazy comedy.

You must be real fun.

“People’s Republic”? That’s a communist label.

Not exactly flattering for Ukraine if they are indeed who named it that.

You obviously aren’t intelligent enough to grasp the nuanced argument being made. /s

Today is 8/17/2024.

Posted by Kazan on 3/1/2023:Ukraine has been DESTROYED and there's nothing left

Response by DannyTN on 3/2/2023, observing the obvious reality the headline was completely false: "When the headline contains such obvious lies, there’s no way I’m wasting my time watching crap."

And the response from Kazan on 3/2/2023: "You're in denial of reality. The narrative you and your ilk is what is a lie."

And here we on 8/17/2024, and you continue on, even though the information you have posted and continue to post constantly was completely, and obviously, incorrect.

“But Zelensky does happen to be extremely masculine.” “He happens to exude masculinity”

He looks like Uber Twink to me. I’ve seen video of him dancing, the little fairy. That never can be unseen.

I don’t ask people to stop posting to me for opinions, just insults and stalking.

So, no bs.

when I see a phrase like "escalatory dominance", two other words come to mind.
1st is "Bully", second is "McNamara".
Here's a McNamara era game for you.

I withdraw my request.

I guess in fact I wasn’t intelligent enough to see the nuance of your sarcasm tag.

Of course they can and will fight back. But this offensive is a last ditch, chips-all-in gamble which will not succeed and ultimately speed their demise.

As I said, it’s done for PR purposes, as they know things will change radically if Trump is elected and even commie-Kamala’s people won’t want to be burdened with the legacy of this disaster

So thousands of Ukrainians are dying for their clients PR needs

“ So thousands of Ukrainians are dying for their clients PR needs”

Or maybe it gives them a way to get Russia agree to stop this war.
