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.

Eat shit, Putin .
After reading this article, I have to say that the headline/image are pretty misleading. He was talking about Kursk, the region of Russia that Ukraine invaded: he said it’s back under Russian control and the Ukraine forces there are surrounded. Then he said they have two options: surrender or die.
I’m not defending Putin here. Just that he’s evil enough without actually taking things out of context to twist what actually happened into some clickbait headline.
I’m a staunch Ukraine supporter and I agree with your assessment this is frankly clickbait. It’s important we hold ourselves accountable and only stick to the facts. If we don’t, we give over the narrative to those who have the power to influence it.
Are there any actual news sources left? They all seem to be clickbait.
He feels the same way about Ukraine so I think the title is valid
Ah yes, the peace talks…
Piss negotiations.
Putin really meant, “Surrender AND die”.
With what, the second strongest army in Russia?
Funny how Putin offers “mercy” while bombing hospitals. His dictionary must define peace as “total submission.”
🐱🐱
Its wild to think that when this started I was not married and my now wife then girlfriend was still in college. Time flies. Aside from that, what the fuck putin?
Probably important to note that in American English, college refers to tertiary education (‘university’ elsewhere)
How far does college go? PhD?
For most, “College” is the first 4 or so years getting a bachelor’s degree. Beyond that is “Grad school” where you get Graduate degrees like PhDs, Masters degrees, and whatnot.
I only did undergrad and the degree was in acting so take what I say with a grain of salt as I am an authority on practically nothing.
Thank you
Can someone please take Putin out on a balcony
Some some glowing tea?
or a window in top floor of a skyscraper. Dude needs some fresh air.
I’m amazed he’s offering “Surrender or die”, I figured he’d pull an Israel and go “Surrender AND die”
They say ‘or’, then they act out ‘and’.
Putin must surrender or die
I’d love to fly that drone that does the job
😁
Can’t happen soon enough man. I wake up every morning and go to Google news front page hoping to see it. I hate that my mind is being spent on having to hate this ugly, evil person.
Trump was supposed to end this war in a day. Has it been a day yet?
Congress passed a resolution that literally says days no longer pass.

Whoa
TBF he never specified which day.
So… Let me check I get this right on the timeline.
America Europe Ukraine meet, agree to a 30 day ceasefire. Agree this tests if Russia is serious about ending the war. Putin gobbs off, surrender or die.
Categorical that Russia is not serious about ending the war.
Next steps boys
The next step is to get Putin to a table and poison or radiate him and end it that way.
His domestic opposition is more vocally pro-war then he is, so no, this wouldn’t end it.
Because they need Ukrainian resources or the Russian state goes bankrupt and that’s the end of Russia.
Trump gets angry how his perfect plan fails, calls for sanctions and increased weapon delivered to Ukraine of of spite.
I think we know he’ll do the opposite. Him being a Russian asset is practically accepted fact at this point
Or he sulks in the corner focuses on his trade war and bans media outlets that point out how terrible is at negotiation.
Man, what a peace-loving guy! Damn Ukraine for not stopping the war! >:/
Ukraine shouldn’t have started it by wanting to be independent of Russia.
Edit: do I really need to add /s?
Ukraine asked for it. By the way she dressed. If Ukraine didn’t want to be invaded, she should have just kept an aspirin between her knees
Europe, I hope y’all are doing the whole “speak quietly and carry a big stick.”
Because if Putin steam rolls Ukraine, he’s not stopping there, and now he has the US government under his control too.
If Europe really wanted to stop Russia, they would’ve sent armies into Ukraine.
“We don’t want to escalate because it might start WW3!”
But Putin is going to attack you guys anyways when he’s done with Ukraine.
“Yes, but this is the rhetoric dumbasses have been told to peddle so that’s what we’re doing!”
I still remember when people said Ukraine shouldn’t mine its border because it would be seen as “escalation.” Funny how the wrong-crowd always scatters like roaches after the damage is done.
They have scheduled a committee meeting to decide where to plant the tree from which they might someday get big sticks.
Europe is doing the opposite of “speak quietly and carry a big stick”
Bet.

Russia had experience in trying to invade Finland. Hasn’t gone well for them since… well, since the idea of nations to begin with.
Edit fixes link url
Finland isn’t what I’m quite so worried about yet.
Its more Estonia. And Latvia. And Moldova, Romania, Poland, Chezchia, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria, etc.
Hungary and Belarus I think we can say are pretty much already Russia.
Also I didn’t know about the Kaliningrad Oblast, anyone know what the fuck happened there?
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”.
For anyone not reading the article
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
