Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Friday to “immediately” order a cease-fire in Ukraine and begin negotiations if Kyiv started withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow in 2022 and renounced plans to join NATO. Ukraine responded by calling Putin’s proposal “manipulative” and “absurd.”
Putin’s remarks came as Switzerland prepared to host scores of world leaders -- but not from Moscow -- this weekend to try to map out first steps toward peace in Ukraine.
They also coincided with a meeting of leaders of the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations in Italy and after the U.S. and Ukraine this week also signed a 10-year security agreement that Russian officials, including Putin, denounced as “null and void.”

The world doesn’t care about abortion, your rights to bear arms, free speech or your economic situation either. Best to just let it take its course.
The real point is to influence former Warsaw pact NATO members to bail.
If an actual word like ilk offends you, you're a snowflake. At least I didn't use a made up label like your ilk used "Putin Trolls."
How do you know that a Russian offensive would go outside of the borders of the Ukraine?
So “ilk” is not a label, and words have definitions. Simply brilliant.
Thank you.
The Hitler analogy is unfortunately quite accurate with respect to Putin.
Another simpleton concept for you. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”.
When our Founding Fathers, fought against the King for these simpleton concepts, they were helped by the French, in what you refer to as a proxy war. Sure, it was a way to stick it to England, but it helped secure our Liberties.
I see your point, once we got our Liberties, it is more pragmatic for the Ukrainians to surrender their Liberties, than have the United States lend a hand. Helping others secure their liberties, is a task beneath us. A task for simpletons.
Read the other comments and think about whether they aren't the 2024 version of what Jane Fonda was doing in 1972.
She was opposed to the US fighting in the war in Vietnam just like some posters here are opposed to the US supporting Ukraine in its war.
Nonsense. Jane Fonda supported an enemy actively at war with the US.
Look at what the Russians did to Mariupol, or the towns are Kharkiv.
“But you are working for Putin”
Please refrain from the personal attacks on other FReepers as JR has been quite clear that those types of attacks are not permitted here.
Are you getting paid? If not, why do you care that someone correctly identified who you are supporting?
And by the way, do you always misquote other Freepers when you run to the mods?
Of course, concepts like Natural Rights, right and wrong, do not exist in nature. Their only value is as a set of rules, to have a civilized society.
Theft, murder and rape, are only wrong by our made-up rules. So yeah, that is how the world works. If some choose to ignore these rules, I see your point, so what?
“And by the way, do you always misquote other Freepers when you run to the mods?”
Those were YOUR WORDS. Your association of me working for Putin are VERY CLEAR. Sorry if it hurts your feelings to be called out.
YOUR WORDS:
“But you are working for Putin”
“Repeating pro-Russian talking points is working for Putin”
Again, please refrain from the personal attacks on other FReepers as JR has been quite clear that those types of attacks are not permitted here.
Also the mods do not appreciate people who DOUBLE DOWN with their PERSONAL ATTACKS.
