Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Ukraine's statehood could suffer an "irreparable blow" if the pattern of the war continued, and Russia would never be forced to abandon the gains it had made. Putin made his televised comments a day after Switzerland agreed to host a global summit at the request of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Putin dismissed "so-called peace formulas" being discussed in the West and Ukraine and what he called the "prohibitive demands" they entailed.

"Well, if they don't want (to negotiate), then don't!" he said.

We need to publicly and openly call all of his bluffs. All he has is bluffs and anemic threats.

Whilst largely true, he does have a significant nuclear capability that will be alluded to as part of his dick swinging. I am all for calling him out on his bluffs, I'm not so sure how far he can be pushed until he throws a tantrum with greater consequences.

His threats cannot be allowed to work. If we all die, so be it.
