LOL, Ukraine wants to immediately stop ALL fighting, which Putin refuses, but its Ukraine that does not want peace. Okay

Putin has a 5,000 word essay on the official Kremlin website, why Ukraine cannot be free and independent of Russia, but its Ukraine that does not want peace. Amazing

Article by Vladimir Putin ”On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians“

The article is on the HISTORICAL Unity of Russia and Ukraine. No one denies that, not even the worst of the Neocons.

A just peace would see the Russian military thrown out of Ukraine. Unfortunately, there won’t be a just peace.
