Talks with Ukraine have reached “a dead end,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in fresh Tuesday remarks. “We will not stop military operations in Ukraine until they succeed.” He explained that Ukraine has “deviated” from agreements and any possible prior progress reached during the Istanbul meetings, according to state-run RIA.
The strong remarks aimed at both Kiev and the West were given during a joint presser with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko. He further hailed that the military operations is still going “according to plan,” Bloomberg reports, however while admitting to the domestic population that “Russian logistics and payment systems remain a weakness and the long-term impact of western measures could be more painful.” But he also said the county has withstood the economic “blitzkrieg” from the West.
Putin described that what’s happening in Ukraine is a “tragedy” but that ultimately Russia had “no choice” but to launch the special military operation.
As Piotr Zalewkski ofThe Economist comments, this is hardly surprising, but it makes Turkey look bad. Few put much faith that the talks would succeed, but still it’s not a “good look for Turkey, which had been trumpeting progress where there was next to no progress to speak of.”
Putin said that the West was seeking to turn Ukraine into an “anti-Russian foothold” which made…
“Russia clashing with those forces was inevitable, and they were only choosing the time for an attack.”
“The main goal is to help the people of Donbass [region in eastern Ukraine], whose independence we recognized. We were forced to do so because the Kiev authorities, pressed by the West, refused to comply with the Minsk agreements aimed at a peaceful solution of the Donbass-related problems,” Putin explained.
The Russian leader confirmed that military operations are now focusing on liberating the Donbas region in Ukraine’s east – something the Pentagon also said it has observed as reinforcements arrived in recent days.
Zelensky has also of late expressed frustration with both talks with Russia on the one hand and NATO inaction on the other…
Peace talks have stalled because Zelenskyy is no longer open to discussions on Crimea, which is what he said in March. Now, Crimea is a “red line.” He says Ukraine could never recognize Crimea. That has long been a red line for US government as well. https://t.co/0XKoV55Gnh

And more alarming statements from the speech, suggesting a future direct confrontation with NATO could be on the horizon:
◾PUTIN, TALKING ABOUT CONFRONATION WITH WEST, SAYS TIME WILL PUT EVERYTHING IN ITS PROPER PLACE
◾PUTIN SAYS INFLATION AND RISING FOOD AND PETROL PRICES IN WEST WILL START TO PUT PRESSURE ON POLITICIANS THERE
◾PUTIN SAYS THE WEST DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT DIFFICULT CONDITIONS UNITE RUSSIAN PEOPLE – RIA
On Bucha, and current widespread allegations of Russian troops conducting war crimes coming from the West, Putin told Lukashenko:
“I talked to colleagues from Western countries often. And when they say ‘Bucha’ to me, I ask, have you ever been to Raqqa? Did you see how this Syrian city was completely destroyed, down to the very ground, by American aircraft? And there, indeed, the corpses were laying and decomposing in the ruins for months. No one cared about it, nobody even noticed”, Putin said according to state media.
“We know that today our officers are participating in a special military operation in Ukraine’s Donbass [region], providing assistance to the people’s republics of Donbass. They act courageously, competently, and effectively, using the most advanced weapons fitted with unique specifications,” the Russian leader added.
NATO will get Zelensky to give up before Putin does.
Putin’s just killing all the AZOV he can in the interval.
Brandon don’t need no stinkin’ Russia to cause high inflation.
He doesn't know our pols very well. They could care less at best and some are happy about it because they hate America and every day Americans.
Putin has again misunderestimated!
The deep state is perfectly willing to let Americans suffer in the service of their political and strategic plans.
So are our Biden Republicans.
Zelensky Says He’s ‘No Longer Interested’ In NATO’s Diplomacy
“The main goal is to help the people of Donbass “
What a lying wicked bast@@d. He didn’t give one damn about them until oil was discovered. Putin and his oligarch cronies have looted hundreds of billions from the Russian people.
Yeah. You're #1 problem is my doing! So do something about it or be disgraced as incompetent.
Putin is a pretty smart guy. He knows he has very little to do with Bidens disasters. But why tell the guy to stop digging?

What/Who made Biden think we could put sanctions enough to damage Russia’s Commodity based economy? We’re Financed Based so this is going to hurt us more than it’s going to hurt Russia.

.
Biden will fight the Russians until the last Ukrainian.
“PUTIN SAYS THE WEST DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT DIFFICULT CONDITIONS UNITE RUSSIAN PEOPLE”
Ha! The problem for Putin is that difficult conditions often unite the Russian people against their leaders.
I tend to believe Putin more so than Mr.Walk-Back Biden. It’s a matter of proven accomplishments and competency.
“...Putin and his oligarch cronies have looted hundreds of billions from the Russian people...”
In fact, just one of Putin’s buddies is worth hundreds of billions. Another fact that upsets Vlad is that lots of those Russian-speaking eastern Ukrainians are killing lots of his rapist Russian and criminal Chechen troops.
Well hopefully that soaring inflation will help to eliminate french leftist Macaroni and put centrist Marine Le Pen into office! ..............
people are showing up for public meetings and speaking favorably about forming a Kherson People’s Republic.
discussions of a referendum have begun.
He looks more like Fidel Castro every day. He’s is a tin horn dictator.....getting his people killed.
Oh, what a good little Putin communist you are. If a referendum could be done fairly, then Putin’s Kaliningrad would vote themselves out of Russia but they would not call themselves a Peoples’s Republic.
