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.
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.
Ah yes, the peace talks…
Piss negotiations.
Putin really meant, “Surrender AND die”.
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?
I’m amazed he’s offering “Surrender or die”, I figured he’d pull an Israel and go “Surrender AND die”
That is definitely what will happen if they surrender though.
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.
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.
He should fall for so long that he has time to regret his life choices. They should need to to a dna test to confirm it was him with from the shit stain in the crater.
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.
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.
“but misinfo isn’t going to help”
tell that to literally all of politics
For anyone not reading the article
ie. everybody in the thread
Hey Putin, wanna hear a funny story?
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
Yes a very weird one… Albeit a long one.
TBF he never specified which day.
One of his goons said he WILL end it in a day. How far away that day is… who knows.
Check again tomorrow
He actually said, " Ukrainians must surrender or I die" but the media being what they are…
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
Accept that there are those lurking here whos only purpose is to downvote good and accurate content. So for the real lemmy users, no you don’t have to add it. For the ones who are only here to stir up trouble. Why bother.
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 cease fire was only for long range missiles anyways, didn’t affect the front line.
The next step is to get Putin to a table and poison or radiate him and end it that way.
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.
Or he sulks in the corner focuses on his trade war and bans media outlets that point out how terrible is at negotiation.
- 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.
Fucking war criminal.
