Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had trapped the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in its western Kursk region, where they have held on for more than seven months in one of the most important battles of the war.

For anyone not reading the article he is specifically talking about any troops Ukraine has left in the Kursk region as there has been a general pullback into Ukraine from Kursk in the last few days. This is not about the wider peace negotiations.
For anyone not reading the article
ie. everybody in the thread
Strange because the actual title of the article mentions that fact. it appears the link seeks to make it as clickbaity as possible.
Yeah. I didn’t like that. I don’t like Putin but misinfo isn’t going to help.
“but misinfo isn’t going to help”
tell that to literally all of politics
Surprises me even more because it is VOA.
VOA is explicitly American propaganda. That is literally its public purpose and goal.
You’re incorrect
I feel like fast doesn’t change anything. “Surrender or die” is not very “peac-y” whether you’re in Kursk or somewhere else.
That is how war generally works. Until a peace is negotiated you would like the other side to surrender or die. Yeah Putin started it, but that doesn’t change the nature of war.
Right. But the point people are trying to make is that the title is somehow “misleading”.
Eat shit, Putin .
Can someone please take Putin out on a balcony
or a window in top floor of a skyscraper. Dude needs some fresh air.
He should fall for so long that he has time to regret his life choices. They should need to to a dna test to confirm it was him with from the shit stain in the crater.
Some some glowing tea?
Funny how Putin offers “mercy” while bombing hospitals. His dictionary must define peace as “total submission.”
🐱🐱
Ah yes, the peace talks…
Piss negotiations.
Trump was supposed to end this war in a day. Has it been a day yet?
TBF he never specified which day.
Yes a very weird one… Albeit a long one.
Check again tomorrow
One of his goons said he WILL end it in a day. How far away that day is… who knows.
Congress passed a resolution that literally says days no longer pass.

Whoa
After reading this article, I have to say that the headline/image are pretty misleading. He was talking about Kursk, the region of Russia that Ukraine invaded: he said it’s back under Russian control and the Ukraine forces there are surrounded. Then he said they have two options: surrender or die.
I’m not defending Putin here. Just that he’s evil enough without actually taking things out of context to twist what actually happened into some clickbait headline.
He feels the same way about Ukraine so I think the title is valid
I’m a staunch Ukraine supporter and I agree with your assessment this is frankly clickbait. It’s important we hold ourselves accountable and only stick to the facts. If we don’t, we give over the narrative to those who have the power to influence it.
Are there any actual news sources left? They all seem to be clickbait.
Frankly the news media have been suspect from the very beginning. There’s never been a time when they were not biased or sensationalist. All we can do is read them critically, and not rely overly much on any single source.
Its wild to think that when this started I was not married and my now wife then girlfriend was still in college. Time flies. Aside from that, what the fuck putin?
Probably important to note that in American English, college refers to tertiary education (‘university’ elsewhere)
How far does college go? PhD?
For most, “College” is the first 4 or so years getting a bachelor’s degree. Beyond that is “Grad school” where you get Graduate degrees like PhDs, Masters degrees, and whatnot.
I only did undergrad and the degree was in acting so take what I say with a grain of salt as I am an authority on practically nothing.
Thank you
Putin really meant, “Surrender AND die”.
I’m amazed he’s offering “Surrender or die”, I figured he’d pull an Israel and go “Surrender AND die”
They say ‘or’, then they act out ‘and’.
That is definitely what will happen if they surrender though.
Hey Putin, wanna hear a funny story?
Putin must surrender or die
I’d love to fly that drone that does the job
😁
Can’t happen soon enough man. I wake up every morning and go to Google news front page hoping to see it. I hate that my mind is being spent on having to hate this ugly, evil person.
With what, the second strongest army in Russia?
He actually said, " Ukrainians must surrender or I die" but the media being what they are…
So… Let me check I get this right on the timeline.
America Europe Ukraine meet, agree to a 30 day ceasefire. Agree this tests if Russia is serious about ending the war. Putin gobbs off, surrender or die.
Categorical that Russia is not serious about ending the war.
Next steps boys
The cease fire was only for long range missiles anyways, didn’t affect the front line.
The next step is to get Putin to a table and poison or radiate him and end it that way.
His domestic opposition is more vocally pro-war then he is, so no, this wouldn’t end it.
Trump gets angry how his perfect plan fails, calls for sanctions and increased weapon delivered to Ukraine of of spite.
I think we know he’ll do the opposite. Him being a Russian asset is practically accepted fact at this point
Or he sulks in the corner focuses on his trade war and bans media outlets that point out how terrible is at negotiation.
Because they need Ukrainian resources or the Russian state goes bankrupt and that’s the end of Russia.
