Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday claimed peace talks with Ukraine had reached a “dead end,” and called images of a massacre of Ukrainian civilians in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha that have sparked international outrage “fake,” according to multiple outlets, as the mayor of the city said the death toll was likely to rise.
Speaking alongside Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko at a press conference at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in eastern Russia, Putin asserted that Russia’s military operation in Ukraine was going “according to plan” and pledged to continue the invasion with peace talks at what he described as a stalemate, according to Bloomberg.
The Russian leader compared events in Bucha, where hundreds of bodies of civilians were found after Russian troops withdrew, to U.S. attacks on the city of Raqqa in Syria, calling the evidence of a Russian massacre “fake,” Bloomberg reported.

KGB Putin had the Janet Reno “shakes” during his press conference today.
Still doesn’t sound like Putin is losing.
Who is that with Putin?
The ONLY thing Russia is not winning is the BS propaganda war.

I was just wondering what happened to all the “we stand with Ukraine and anyone who questions us is Putin’s puppet” type postings on FR.
At least the people of Ukraine are being viciously attacked by a foreign government’s military, unlike the residents in Shanghai ...
Satan.
They can loot toilets; too bad they can’t loot plumbing.

Scott Ritter correctly observes that the Ukrainian army pinned down in the east (i.e. Donbas) are entrenched in underground bunkers. While this offers the Ukrainian soldiers some measure of protection, it also means that these soldiers are not mobile and lack the armor and other motorized vehicles to mount a counter-offensive. In fact, any column of trucks or tanks is highly vulnerable to attack from Russian air assets, artillery and cruise missiles and would likely be quickly eradicated.
Scott Ritter? LOL!
Ritter was convicted on six counts, including felony unlawful contact with a minor. Sentenced to up to five and half years, he was sent to Laurel Highlands state prison in Somerset County, Pa., in March 2012.
He was convicted in 2011 in Monroe County, Pa., after Barrett Township police presented evidence that in 2009 he had masturbated in front of a webcam being viewed by an undercover officer who was posing as a 15-year-old girl.
Ritter reportedly went by the handle “delmarm4fun.”

I think the Ukrainian Army is still floating around Kiev. They have AZOV pinned down and the leader just fled from Mariupol.
Careful, you're gonna make the Russophobe GloboHomoNazis cry.
Thanks
They've all gone to Nations that have no Extradition Treaties with America.
