We are talking about Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions. These regions border on Kharkov, Sumy and Chernigov regions of Ukraine.

Will Z take the cease fire demand and pull out of the 4 Donbas regions that Russia controls 70-99%

“The next time it will be five” (regions for ceasefire)

There is no point making a deal with a lying Bolshevik like Putin. He has proven many times he will never honor an agreement. Given that the only option Ukrainians has is to resist and reclaim when Moscow collapses again.

Putin appears to have decided to call an end to the war on the Russian side:

It’s all been decided without the Uke punk Zelensky, the EU and US democrats.
If they don’t go along, it will be on them, not Russia.

Putin the dictator dictates that, he’s going to declare a DMX on the Ukrainian side of the border.

If Cuba decides to declare that it rightfully owns Miami, the U.S. would need to pull out. Same with Mexico in California and Texas; Mexico owns that territory and the ‘illegals’ there are not illegals and have more rights to that land area than Americans.

It seems to me the buffer only applies to the parts of Russia being attacked by Ukraine, rather than an end to the war. I suppose Russia would like to call an end to only the part of the war where their own territories are being counterattacked.

Sounds like Ukraine is going to be getting even smaller.

Lol. So many FR hawks who have no intention of proceeding to the front themselves.

This has been corrected. The reported number is now eight, not five.

I think Putin considers the results of the war thus far to be Russian.

Maybe the most important thing about this decision by Putin is it was not made overnight. Such decisions never are.

Which means Trump was briefed on this in the telecon — and there has been no public objection from him.

True dat. They’re very much into use of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY AND OTHER PEOPLE’S BLOOD to advance their interests.
