Vladimir Putin has demanded that Kyiv cede more land, withdraw troops deeper inside its own country, and drop its Nato bid in order for him to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Putin’s fresh ceasefire demands were issued as envoys from more than 90 countries, including Ukraine, convene in Switzerland this weekend to discuss a western-led peace plan. Russia is not invited to the conference and the president’s remarks on Friday were likely to have been timed as a spoiler to that summit.

Speaking with diplomats at the Russian foreign ministry, Putin publicly updated his terms for ending the war in Ukraine for the first time since he launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022, when he demanded regime change in Kyiv and the country’s “demilitarisation”.

The US defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, said Putin was in “no position” to make demands on Ukraine and could end the war he had started “today if he chose to do that.”

I know a very easy way for the war to end right now, Vlad.

You order your troops to leave Ukraine.

War over.

Hi Ukraine, we understand you didn't want to immediately surrender your lands and rights. That's very difficult, we realize. To address your concerns, we're now offering an installment plan.

The joke is that even if Ukraine would agree, it's just a trick to gain more land and do it again.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 90 points 2 months ago

I hope to see him get bayoneted up the arse.

[-] ShadowRam@fedia.io 38 points 2 months ago

His worst fear is to end up like Gaddafi.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

It is incumbent upon all of us to make that happen.

[-] AnotherWorld@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

Or better yet, just let him withdraw his troops from Ukraine and live as he pleases

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

With images like this, of coarse!!!

[-] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

But how will he be able to keep his uber masculine persona alive then?

[-] AnotherWorld@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

He will be the finest male within Russia 😏

[-] mindlight@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well, if he continues on the current path long enough he might be the only male within Russia....

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

The best way to stop that war is to bring Putin in front of the ICC for his war crimes.

[-] mindlight@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah, South Africa will submit the paperwork to ICC any day now....

[-] ralphio@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

This seems to imply that there aren't already ICC warrants for Putin. There are....

[-] mindlight@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

No. That's not what I wrote. To try to get it to that you'd have to perform quite some acrobatics to be able to leave out "South Africa" from the picture.

South Africa requested not to have to arrest Putin last year. War crimes in Ukraine not the top priority for South Africa then but it seems like they changed their mind about war crimes since last October. Well, not regarding war crimes in Ukraine it seems though...

I'd prefer the option where Putler sticks a hand grenade up his butt

So if the same applies to Russia Putin is okay with a foreign country invading Russia based on lies, capturing territory, targeting and murdering civilians and kidnapping children, violating treaties, and they would accept a ceasefire with the invader keeping everything they currently hold to regroup for another assault? Get the fuck out of here

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

Though I fully agree with you, here is some food for thought:

If, IF, come November, trump gets elected, then that's it. He will remove all money from Ukraine, he'll give Putin free reign to invade Ukraine and he won't criticize Putin if he just streams on to the baltics and then poland too.

Get the fuxk out of here, indeed, but I fear that soon Europe will have to go to war with Russia

What's new about it? His demands always were "Give me everything I want or I will take it by force"

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

"You give up, do as I say and I take everything" is not a peace negotiation. Its a renewal of his declaration of war.

[-] Cyberjin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

It's like a house squatter demanding the house owner to leave to end the conflict.

Putin, just leave..

[-] charade_you_are@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

This fuckin guy! He should do stand-up or clown school.

In that case I will freshly issue a demand for Putin to surrender to Ukrainian forces step down and face trial for war crimes.

[-] Mio@feddit.nu 4 points 2 months ago

Putin, please stop this war without demands.
