He's not. He said he's willing to talk peace if Russia leaves Ukrainian lands. Under that condition Ukraine is prepared to discuss neutrality, not pursue NATO membership and not develop their own nuclear weapons.
Sad day when Slavs are manipulated into killing other Slavs. Vietnam, and Korea all over again.

Pranksters reveal odes to Putin were Russian translations of Nazi verse
Patriotic poems published under invented name of Gennady Rakitin were embraced as examples of ‘Z poetry’
Pranksters reveal odes to Putin were Russian translations of Nazi verse
Patriotic poems published under invented name of Gennady Rakitin were embraced as examples of ‘Z poetry’The patriotic poetry of Gennady Rakitin has won him quite a following in Russia over the past year. His odes to Vladimir Putin and emotive verses in support of Russia’s war in Ukraine drew appreciation on social media and even the occasional honourable mention in Russian poetry prizes.
But Rakitin’s admirers did not realise one thing: the 18 poems published under his name were in fact Russian translations of Nazi verses penned in the 1930s and 1940s.
One, called Leader, and published with a photograph of Putin, was originally called Führer and written by the Nazi-supporting writer Eberhard Möller in the late 1930s. Another, an ode to Nazi stormtroopers, was translated into Russian and repurposed as a tribute to fighters from the Wagner paramilitary group.
Rakitin does not exist. He was invented by a group of anonymous pranksters, who wanted to demonstrate that “Z propaganda”, named after the Z symbol of Russia’s war in Ukraine and the dominant force in the Russian cultural scene, has more than a faint echo of fascism.
“We read collections of Z poetry and saw straight-up nazism there. We suspected that they probably wrote exactly the same things in Nazi Germany, and we turned out to be right,” said the group behind the project, in written responses to questions from the Guardian. They said they wanted to remain anonymous for reasons of safety.
The authors said that almost all the Nazi poems they discovered fit the current Russian context perfectly, except for a few obvious anachronisms. References to Germany were changed to Russia, but otherwise the poems were published in exact translations.
“Politically, this shows that the ideas of Nazi Germany are close to the ideas of modern Russia, even as Russia claims it is fighting nazism. Culturally, it shows that there is no renaissance of Russian culture, as the authorities claim, but only its degradation,” said the authors.
Two published photographs of Rakitin, showing him with a creased brow, silvery hair and a wispy goatee, were generated by artificial intelligence, said the authors. This did not stop numerous Russian politicians becoming friends with the account on VKontakte, a Russian social network.
The Russian journalist Andrei Zakharov, who was the first to reveal publicly that Rakitin was a fake persona, counted that nearly 100 Russian MPs followed the account on VKontakte, as well as about 30 senators and several well-known pro-war cultural figures.
Many poems were copied from Rakitin’s VKontakte page and shared by other pro-war accounts, suggesting their tone and message chimes with the current ultra-patriotic mood promoted by Russian authorities. Last month, one of the poems reached the semi-final of a poetry competition organised by a branch of a Russian writers’ union on the subject of “war and defenders of the Motherland”.
The people behind the Rakitin account said the plan had always been to come clean at a certain point, as a way of demonstrating to supporters of Putin and the war the unsavoury nature of their driving ideology. Explaining why they ended the charade now, they said: “We are tired. It was morally exhausting to endlessly be in the gloominess of Russian Z world.”
The final poem on Rakitin’s page, published in recent days, is the only one that is not a translated Nazi-era text: “Gennady long mocked / Z poems on his feed / In the end, his message was / Fuck the war”.
Annnnd the Russians are dying for what exactly? The vainglorious machinations of a genocidal megalomaniac, that's what. Jesus, even Hitler gave more of a fuck about his soldiers, at least during the 1st couple of years of WW2 anyway.
The only way Bedpan can win in Ukraine is the same way he won in Chechnya; bomb the fuck out of the civilians.
Funny thing is, Xi is trying the Putin gambit. He's accusing the US of trying to trick him into attacking Taiwan. Just like Bedpan said the US/West "forced" him to attack Ukraine. It's the totalitarian way, always blame someone else for your aggression and violence towards a third party.
This all started from one of the oldest commie tricks in the book. Relocate a bunch of your people to a neighbouring country. The kind that will clamour to demand unification with the "mother/fatherland". At that point elections are rigged to show strong support for the "pro-unification" candidate and if the local population gets uppity about it, well you just send in your military to quell the "uprising" and force that unification. And if there's no election at all, well you still send in your military to assist your "oppressed" people". Similar to what China did in Nepal and Inner Mongolia and Russia did in Eastern Ukraine. It's straight from the KGB playbook.
Leaked Pentagon casualty counts:
Ukraine dead - 71,000+
Russian dead - 17,500+
Ukraine dead - 71,000+
Russian dead - 17,500+
Do you know how many dead there are in the cemeteries in Ukraine? All of them.
Why do you care about dead Slavs? Youre cheering on the use of nukes on Arabs so its obvious you don't care aboot death.
Is it because because youre a Vatnik and its up to 20 dead Ruskies to 1 Ukrainian on most days?
They had money long before getting into politics. Its no secret and he's been audited In order to stay president in order get aid from around the world (except N. Korea).
You truly believe its only 50 Russians a day?
Do you have Telegram? Need links to reality on both Russia and Israel?
Trump going to be in soon and Ukraine will be cut off.. I smell a peace deal on the table in 5 months
It's not the Arabs I hate, it's the Islamic ideology.
1) Islam oppresses women
2) Islam condones violence against innocent people
3) Islam condones forced conversions
4) Islam condones forced marriages
5) killing of homoseaxuals
List is endless
BTW I am not anti-Gay.. just keep in the bedroom, the world doesn't have to know your sexuality.
Trans is Gender Dysphoria a mental disease
They sound exactly the same as Orthodox Jews who by the way hate you and think you're a gross pig without a soul.
Whatever you do, dont look it up. I dont want you to be confused by reality and you're desire to believe it at any cost including supporting use of nukes rather than accept that youve been believing propagandist lies.
And how many of those Ukrainians were civilians who were intentionally bombed by Russia? Yeah, let's just give Russia a free pass on this one and call a truce. They won't attack anyone else after that or bomb their civilians or threaten nukes after they get their ass kicked on the battlefield yet again.
And yes, I say Russia is getting their asses kicked considering the disparity in size of their respective militaries. And I say yet again because the Chechens did the same thing to them, until Bedpan got all genocidal on them. He's not going to stop at Ukraine unless he's stopped. He's already threatened the Baltics and he can chug right to them through Belarus.
