Russian President Vladimir Putin, under pressure from Washington to show willingness to make peace in Ukraine, proposed on Monday bilateral talks with Kyiv for the first time in years, and said he was open to more ceasefires after a one-day Easter truce.

In his comments, Putin said Moscow was open to any peace initiatives and expected the same from Kyiv.
"When the president said that it was possible to discuss the issue of not striking civilian targets, including bilaterally, the president had in mind negotiations and discussions with the Ukrainian side," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to Interfax news agency.
Zelenskiy made no reference to Putin's remarks on bilateral talks in his comments on X announcing the Ukrainian delegation for the London talks.

“Z” is trying so hard to have the world fight his war. Ukraine is the size of Texas...
If I were Trump I would say. I’m done no more $ for ANY of you but none of the other countries are going to join you for WW3.
Have Putin and Zel fight it out to the death and no more soldiers have to die.
Of course he made no reference. The Z Man has ignored all efforts for peace including the Easter Truce Putin offered.
That’s what he was hired to do.
I’ll believe it when I see it. So much fake news these days.
Ukraine invaded Russia. This is the way some Freepers behave. Then we have the Putin Puffer contingent. Ronald Reagan would be disgusted.
fagboy Z is the one keeping this war going
It’s over for Putin thanks to President Trump. President Trump is allowing Putin to try to save face before the Red Square “victory” parade on May 9th.
History began on a day of our choosing. This is the way some Freepers behave.
Damn Nazi fag. Why can’t he just surrender ??
marcus moving the goal post. What happened to Easter marcus?
President Trump took the 30 hour Easter ceasefire as a good first step from Putin. It proved that Putin was listening and afraid.
“History began on a day of our choosing. This is the way some Freepers behave.”
When in history has Ukraine ever invaded Russia?
“When in history has Ukraine ever invaded Russia?”
Not the Ukes, but the Germans launched the southern prong of Operation Typhoon from the Ukraine. Then Operation Blue in 1942 and Citadel in 1943. I can’t blame them for being touchy about foreign forces there.
“Not the Ukes, but the Germans launched the southern prong of Operation Typhoon from the Ukraine. Then Operation Blue in 1942 and Citadel in 1943. I can’t blame them for being touchy about foreign forces there.”
There are no organized. foreign forces in Ukraine. Just some foreign volunteers. I doubt Putin knows the history you cited. Russians are always touchy, or pretend to be. I see it as fake drama for gullible Westerners.
Ukrainians are touchy about being assaulted by Moscow, during the Holodomor, when 5 million were starved by Stalin and his gangsters.
“There are no organized. foreign forces in Ukraine. Just some foreign volunteers.”
Just stop. Of course, there aren’t. Not yet anyway. That’s always been the goal for the Ukes, get NATO forces (meaning the USA) to protect them. And you can stop with the bad history blaming the Russians only for the Holodomor, it was the Communists, Ukes were among them and helped. Collectivization was done all over the Soviet Union and wasn’t just aimed at the Ukraine, it just experienced the worst effects.
The Holodomor was directed out of Moscow by Stalin. Of course some Ukrainians collaborated. You think the Ukrainians would done a Holodomor on themselves by themselves? It was a Kremlin directed horror show>>>
Politburo Members of the USSR During the Holodomor (1932–1933)
The Holodomor, the man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933, coincided with the rule of Joseph Stalin and the dominance of the Communist Party’s Politburo. The Politburo was the highest decision-making body in the USSR, and its members were collectively responsible for policies that led to and exacerbated the famine.

Joseph Stalin (General Secretary, de facto leader)
Vyacheslav Molotov
Lazar Kaganovich
Kliment Voroshilov
Mikhail Kalinin
Sergei Kirov

Valerian Kuibyshev
Grigory Ordzhonikidze

Key Politburo Members Directly Involved in Ukraine
Some Politburo members played especially prominent roles in Ukraine during the famine:
Vyacheslav Molotov: Headed special commissions in Ukraine with “emergency powers” to enforce grain requisitions and repressive measures.
Lazar Kaganovich: Stalin’s emissary, personally oversaw and enforced brutal policies, including deportations and food blockades in Ukraine and the North Caucasus.
Stanislav Kosior: First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine, directly responsible for implementing central directives in Ukraine.
Just stop. I get it you’re all proud nationalists, but we don’t care about your petty ethnic squabbles. Trying to make it into a genocide exclusive to one nationality is frauding. You’re trying to buy your way with counterfeit money. They couldn’t have managed it without lots of Ukes helping, and it was done all over the Soviet Union to every nationality. I get it you’re a proud nationalist, we
pitin stalling for time without any real intention of peace until he is finished taking Ukraine and the rest of Europe.
