Has Putin actually called for negotiations? An off-hand comment in a Tucker Carlson interview doesn’t seem quite like a serious offer.
Also it seems like Ukraine and ukrainians are still pretty much supporting war against Russian aggression: https://news.gallup.com/poll/512258/ukrainians-stand-behind-war-effort-despite-fatigue.aspx
Putin has been calling for negotiations since he took power 20 years ago. He’s been appeasing the West and their insistence on marching the world’s first transnational nuclear military to Russia’s borders while asking for negotiations the entire time. In 2014 he ordered the invasion of Crimea in response to USA-backed militias violently taking over Ukraine by storming the capital and forcing the president to flee under threat of death and he was still talking about international agreements and negotiations. Negotiations have always been on the table.
All part of the attempt to sway the next election. Gives Cucker Tarlson an interview where he (Putin) proceeds to paint all of his actions as a poor humble Russian leader just trying to protect his own people from the big bad Ukranians. Then follows it up with an offer to negotiate peace, which shockingly the evil dictator Biden refuses to do. If only we had someone like the Cheeto Benito who’s interested in peace leading the US, everything would be so much better for everyone! Queue troll farm spamming Twitter
My question is why is the US rejecting anything, isn’t that a war between Russia and Ukraine?
That’s the reason they’re rejecting it. From the article:
“Barring a Ukrainian demand signal” for peace talks, “there’s unlikely to be a push from Washington,” he said.
Is anybody actually so naive as to believe that Ukraine has any say in this?

Key points:
- 60% want to keep fighting until victory (which >90% define as everything including Crimea liberated) – down from 70% about a year ago
- Zelensky’s approval rating is >80%
So not only Ukraine but ukrainians seem to agree with White House’s assessment.
The negotiation is get the fuck out of Ukraine you blithering waste of flesh.
When can we expect the United States out of the dozens of countries they’ve illegally invaded and neocolonized, then? Can I expect you to sit there and be quiet if another world power decided they wanted to arm and train Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso to start driving the settler military and its eagerly-tapdancing puppets out of the Motherland the same way you sit on your hands for Ukraine?
Or is this just about maintaining hegemon over the vassals and encircling, then unlimitedly genociding an entity that hasn’t even been Soviet for 40 years?
Who gave the US the power to reject negotiation proposals between Ukraine and Russia? I thought Ukraine is an independent and sovereign country defending itself from an invading force. Who’s the US to say what Ukraine can and can’t meet to discuss?
Who gave the US the power to reject negotiation proposals between Ukraine and Russia?
No one, that’s what Washington is saying on the article, responding to a plea from Putin for the US to come to the negotiations table.
The “proposal” made by Putin was addressed to the US. The US said it’s not on us, you should talk to Ukraine.
So I believe right now you are agreeing with Washington and disagreeing with Putin, correct?
Oh, the burger crackers took that power themselves. No one ceded it to them.
