Little progress in new peace talks — as Russia unleashes ‘medieval siege warfare’

A third set of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine ended Monday with little progress — as a Ukrainian official said the Kremlin was engaging in “tactics reminiscent of medieval siege warfare.”

After the talks broke up, Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted: “There are small positive subductions in improving the logistics of humanitarian corridors… Intensive consultations have continued on the basic political block of the regulations, along with a ceasefire and security guarantees.”

Meanwhile, Agence France-Presse reported that Russia’s main negotiator said Moscow’s expectations are “not fulfilled.”

The latest negotiation attempt came as Russia continued to pound its neighbor with bombs and bullets on the 12th day of its brutal invasion.

“[Russia] is resorting to tactics reminiscent of medieval siege warfare, encircling cities, cutting off escape routes and pounding the civilian population with heavy ordnance,” said Jonathan Gimblett, a lawyer hired by Ukraine to pursue its war-crimes claim against Moscow.

Vladimir Medinsky told reporters after the talks that negotiations “are not easy.

“It is too early to talk about something positive,” he said.

“Hopefully next time we can take a bigger step forward,” Medinsky said, according to Reuters.

Damn, I would expect a Ukrainian official to say this is a kinder, gentler invasion force.

LOL, but I do wonder if the ‘Medieval Sieges’ of the past left the power on.

The mind-control approach to propaganda is to feed the victim mutually contradictory stories so that their mind short circuits and loses all critical faculties.

That is what the Western mass media/Big Tech oligarchs are doing to brainwash the population.

Ukraine is winning.

Ukraine is losing.

Ukraine is winning.

Ukraine is losing.

Ukraine is winning.

Ukraine is losing....

What’s the difference between medieval siege warfare and regular siege warfare?

Nobody is claimed millions of Russian soldiers have died except in your sarcastic posts.
