Russia has been the side talking seriously. It's Ukraine and the EU that refuse to.

Trump worked out a peace deal with Putin that both rejected.

You're neo-Nazi buddies in Ukraine aren't getting territory back, Marcus.

Get on the Trump-Vance train, Ivan.

Jump on the Trump-Vance train.

“I'm not calling anyone a "paper tiger," but Russia has spent millions and millions of dollars on bombs, missiles, ammunition, and lives. Their lives. And they've gained virtually no territory. I think it's time to stop. I really do. I am very disappointed in Putin. And he fought hard, fought long, and they lost millions, about a million soldiers. And you know, after all this heavy bombing over the last two weeks, they've gained almost no territory. Just think about it. They've gained almost no territory.“

P.S. I heard you lost another ship in Sevastopol this morning. Wha happen?

I also forgot to send you my condolences for the loss of your thermal power plant in Belgorod this morning. Sympathies.

Russia has been the side talking seriously

Yup, Russia has been seriously demanding Ukraine's surrender.

Even Vance, no fan of Ukraine, has said Russia is asking for too much.

[marcusmaximus]

Oops! You just lost your 2nd thermal power plant in Belgorod right now! Wha happen?

[marcusmaximus]

First Belgorod. Is Kazan Tatarstan next?

Your line of pro-Putin clownery is getting stale. Checkmate for Putin is this winter, as Russian oil refineries get disabled one by one. Get repaired, then get blown up again.
Putin is spinning, while Ukraine is winning the oil sanctions game.
