If both sides freeze their conduct 😳 . To end the war all putrid has to do is WITHDRAW HIS TROOPS
NO…. Russia started this war and can end it by leaving Ukraine. Anything else is just an action to delay and re-arm!
Putins face 01:02 says it DEFINITELY isn't going to happen mate… unlike your skydiving trip 😂
brave man speaking the truth
No freeze. No stop. Just more "rain" heading to Moscow.
There will be peace when Putin is buried six feet under. Nothing less. Full withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukraine and Russia pay war reparations to Ukraine. All war criminals must be handed over and punished.
Putin looks like he is trying not to brown his diaper, holding on for life
freeze the conflict. you mean give everything to russia because they have boots on the ground. never gonna happen.
„Both sides freeze their conflict“?
What does that mean? Ukraine isn‘t „in a conflict“. Ukraine is defending themselves.
Also:
„Plays into the hands of the opponents of both, Russia and Ukraine…“
Ukraine‘s „opponent“ IS Russia.
This is great news for Europe on for Ukraine. This is the time to hit hard to give the coup d’ grace to Putin. The president of Kazakstan was told by Putin to say that the war should be halted, by some kind of armistice, so Russia can re-arm, and then come and attack with a stronger force. Now that Putin is on the ropes and ready to run away to Kazakstan or to China, he is using Trial balloons to stop the bleeding and the destruction of the Russian infrastructure by Ukrainian drones 😂😂😂😂. Borat needs to be president!!
Putin just needs to stop. Easy.
No, let Putin foolish president continue his fight evil leader, blood socker man his end is near
stop putins war
Nothing would have happened if NATO and the US had honored their agreements after the collapse of the USSR.
Freeze again. I doubt Ukraine will be happy about this. Hold requires a functioning international institution and the UN has been cannibalised by several nations by now.
Putin's face 1:02 says, "I really kind of liked this guy. It's a shame he's going to fall from a window."
Putin would let every russian die and every city burn to the ground before he signs his own death warrant
I wouldn't call kazakstan an ally of russia, they are coincidental associates
countries see that Russia is a paper tiger and are speaking up.
The ports in Odessa, Mykolaiv and Izmail are bombed daily. The accuracy of the punches can only be admired
Wait, the EU has always pressed for the Ukraine war, so why do I sense a shift in tone?
What nonsense! Pukin isn’t interested in peace…… the only reason he will enter into a ceasefire is to obtain time for regrouping and replenishing weapons. Pukin only understands victory and this is why Ukraine needs to double down and continue to fight. A bully will not stop until he is taken down…… let the people of Russia get Pukin out!!!!!
Both sides think the demands of other are “maximalist” the end to this war is not close
The world is with Ukraine, not Russia.
Peaceful talks will find the way forward! 2026+
Clearly Russia cant win this war and Ukraine seems to be turning the tide, albeit slowly. But even Ukraine can only go on for as long as Europe continues to back it. The question is who blinks first; Russia or Europe? Whatever happens, its a war of attrition, not just millitarily by also economically, woever loses will be destroyed and whoever wins will have been devasted at least economically.
My question is this:
Given the circumstances, is it unreasonable to pursue a negotiated settlement on the grounds that Puttin withdraws entirely from Ukraine restoring the pre-2022 Ukrainian borders, and in exchange Crimea is recognized internationally as Russian Sovereign territory in addition to total international economic sanctions relief?
Putin cant afford a cessation in hostilities, and the images of Gaddafi’s lifeless body paraded around the streets is still fresh in his mind. Putin fears the mob
Please Ukraine, do not freeze the fighting. Keep your heal on their throat. Do not let them regroup
While listening to this Putin probably was dreaming about beating up this guy.
brave man, give that alone should rewards the prize for nobel peace if anything these days.
I'm afraid that this man won't live for long after that meeting.
Russian poling? In a state where all information, including poles, are entirely controlled by the state what does that mean? Sorry, it just seems naive to even talk about Putin's ratings in the poles.
Also Russian wants peace, but on Russian terms
It's simple Mr Tokayev, all the Orcs (aka, Russian soldiers) must leave Ukrainian territory.
Hopefully Tokayev doesn't accept any mysterious tea from Vlad.
Yeah, no. 😂
Ukraine/NATO needs to be taught a lesson they won't forget. Capture Odessa, Donbas. Turn Ukraine into a landlocked, rump state, & then we'll talk ceasefire. 😂
Putin for sure starting another special military operation in Kazakhstan
