Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had trapped the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in its western Kursk region, where they have held on for more than seven months in one of the most important battles of the war.
For anyone not reading the article he is specifically talking about any troops Ukraine has left in the Kursk region as there has been a general pullback into Ukraine from Kursk in the last few days. This is not about the wider peace negotiations.
I feel like fast doesn’t change anything. “Surrender or die” is not very “peac-y” whether you’re in Kursk or somewhere else.
That is how war generally works. Until a peace is negotiated you would like the other side to surrender or die. Yeah Putin started it, but that doesn’t change the nature of war.
Right. But the point people are trying to make is that the title is somehow “misleading”.
ie. everybody in the thread
Strange because the actual title of the article mentions that fact. it appears the link seeks to make it as clickbaity as possible.
Yeah. I didn’t like that. I don’t like Putin but misinfo isn’t going to help.
Surprises me even more because it is VOA.
VOA is explicitly American propaganda. That is literally its public purpose and goal.
You’re incorrect
