AP — Russia and Ukraine have no direct peace talks scheduled, the Kremlin said Thursday, nearly a week after their first face-to-face session since shortly after Moscow’s invasion in 2022 and days after U.S. President Donald Trump said they would start ceasefire negotiations “immediately.”
“There is no concrete agreement about the next meetings,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “They are yet to be agreed upon.”

Until Vlad reaches his long stated goals.Kherson, Lughansk and Donetsk are roughly 95 percent liberated, when they are fully “ liberated” , Vlads goals will have been meet…..meanwhile, Vlad continues to give the Ukies the “ Pac man” treatment, gobbling up city after city.
Kyiv in 3 days! Bring your parade uniforms!

Not much longer as Russian field commander have apparently order their troops to execute all surrendering Ukrainian troops.
The war will continue and Russia’s economy will continue to shrink - more rapidly now that almost all reserves have been used up, and they have a shortfall of workers in the millions.
They're on their way....

“Until Vlad reaches his long stated goals.”
Putin’s goal was to take Kiev in three days. He failed.
Wasn’t all this supposed to stop within the first 24 hours? What happened to that?
Long enough to get rid of Uke Nazis.

I think Putin is close to ending the fighting on the Russia side:

It will be up to the green Uke, ego-punk to accept it.
We fought in Afghanistan for 20 years, so the appetite for endless wars is, well, endless. Russia was there for 9 years.
“Kherson, Lughansk and Donetsk are roughly 95 percent liberated,”
You have a strange way with words.
“Long enough to get rid of Uke Nazis.”
The Russian propaganda on this site is unreal.
Is money behind it?
But, Zeepers like you and Marcus are imbeciles.
People would actually take you seriously if you didn’t directly insult others. You make this place feel like Reddit sometimes.
