Oh really.
Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected an offer from the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to “take the Donbass”, the area in east Ukraine which pro-Moscow rebels and Ukrainian government forces have fought for control of.
Poroshenko made the offer during a peace summit in Minsk in February 2015, Putin reportedly told a senior member of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs on 19 March.
An anonymous source present at the closed door meeting revealed to Forbes Russian edition that Putin told the summit: “[Poroshenko] told me directly: ‘Take the Donbass.’ I replied: ‘Are you out of your mind? I don't need the Donbass. If you don't need it, declare it independent.’”
...says the Putin loving stooge
I completely agree and thank your son for me for his service!
I say we need more soldiers heavy weapons and bring back the missile shield to the Baltic States.
