Was Putin's invasion of Ukraine of Crimea a negotiating tactic? His invasion of the Donbas? Or his invasion of the rest of the country this year? Doesn't seem like he's shown too much interest in negotiating at any stage.
What is wrong with you people, Russia is not Iraq or Afghanistan...they put a man in space...think about that it is like Ukraine fighting against America...what would you recommend for them to do if that was the case then?
“Doesn’t seem like he’s shown too much interest in negotiating at any stage.”
Only because you’re choose to NOT hear it. He was ready in March, April, and is ready now. Now ask how many times the people you support, Biden, UK, and most of Europe have asked for negotiations.
The Crimea has been Russian ever since Catherine the Great took it from the Ottoman Turks in 1783. Russia will never give it up.
