Vladimir Putin said a U.S. delegation is expected to arrive in Moscow in the first half of next week to discuss the latest American proposal to end the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine.

Speaking at a press conference during a visit to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Thursday, Putin said no draft peace agreement had been agreed to in recent talks between the U.S. and Ukraine, only a list of issues to be discussed.

Putin also said it was “pointless” to sign any documents with Ukraine’s current leadership, alleging that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy lacked legitimacy to do so.

    He sure talks a lot of shit for someone who’s almost broke, and has to backfill with North Korean soldiers.

    He’s just attempting to appear strong to prevent himself from falling out a window.

    Ready to fight to the last

    Pretty much every thing putin says is a lie. He says he’ll fight to the last Ukrainian - this means he knows he has to concede.

    He’s 73. He has a good person doing his plastic surgeon work. He has the same distracting headlines as trump though.

    The Russian political magazine Sobesednik (Russian: Собеседник) alleged in 2018 that Putin had a sensory room installed in his private residence in the Novgorod Oblast.[544] The White House, as well as Western generals, politicians, and political analysts, have questioned Putin’s mental health after two years of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.[545][546][547]

      ???
      What? That must be a lousy plastic surgeon then, or extremely poor material to work on, because he looks every bit 73 years old. I had a neighbor who was 71, and they look very similar in age, and my neighbor most definitely never saw a plastic surgeon.

              There’s a huge difference between a hard life at the low end of the scale, to a privileged lifestyle like Putin has.
              Also I don’t believe your images represent what you claim, and finally nationality has NOTHING to do with it.

          No actually they are not, for instance Lockheed Martin AFAIK the biggest weapons manufacturer in USA, is worth about the same as it was 5 years ago.
          European military companies on the other hand have increased a lot in recent years, while American have declined.
          USA alone and not to be trusted is not a good strategy for exporting weapons to former allies.
          ALL NATO countries are seeking alternatives to American weapons now.

          Contrary to McDonnell Douglas Rheinmetall has increased 700% in 3 years!!

          Rheinmetall:

          Lockheed Martin https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LMT/

          Edit:
          Changed US example to Lockheed Martin.

            Oh my, look at that Lockheed Martin stock jump in early 2022. Wonder what happened around that time. Do you have an example that disproves my point, instead of literally sourcing exactly what I said?

              You really are a special kind of dense, look how it immediately drops again so it now is at the exact same level it was 4 years ago.
              Why are you spreading false info?

                Wait a second, are you seriously this ignorant about stocks?

                The US stopped sending military aid, so the price went down. When the US was sending aid, the price went up.

                This is one of those instances where the internet crowd is wrong, again.

                I’m literally looking at the link you provided. Went from 330, then Russia fully invaded Ukraine in Feb of 2022, and stock price shot up, though now it’s back to a meager 450.

                  Hey man, there’s no winning with these people when they all decide to agree with each other.

                  It’s about fitting in, not being correct.

                  No matter how you look at it, even 20% in 4-5 years is very far from through the roof, especially considering the USD also lost 10-15% value in that time.

                  Rheinmetall was about €80 5 years ago and is now €1500 that’s an increase of 1775%, Now THAT’S THROUGH THE ROOF.
                  And that is in a currency that has kept it’s value.

                  So you original statement remains decidedly false.
