Vladimir Putin has revived a controversial narrative, claiming that theoretically “all of Ukraine is ours.” He also sparked more immediate concerns with comments about seizing Ukraine’s city of Sumy.
Vladimir Putin has declared that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and that, in that sense, “all of Ukraine is ours.”
The assertion underscores Moscow’s continued underlying rejection of Ukrainian sovereignty and raises renewed alarm over Russia’s territorial ambitions.
Speaking at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday, Putin issued a series of provocative remarks, notably stating: “We have a saying… where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours.”
all your base are belong to us.
If he really believes the two countries should be united, he could always decide to surrender to Ukraine and give Ukraine control over Russia. I’m sure Ukraine would do a better job of governing Russia than Putin has done.
“We have a saying… where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours.”
So, Putin is saying everyone should fire upon Russian forces everywhere outside Russia with no hesitation or questions asked?
You leave Sumy alone, ya bastard! That’s where Shurap lives!
I’m just wondering when is this POS is going to die.
He looks like he’s wearing his skin as a mask. Like a Roboputin.
I think it’s a very heavy makeup line. His actual skin colour is what you see under his hair.
Taking a page out of trumps coloring book? Hmm.
Dictators can’t look old and frail.
I thought it was because of Nazis. Or because of NATO. Or because of <insert bullshit here>.
Not because of <insert imperialism here>.
He just really needs those ship docks.
And there it is. Finally out in the open, by the asshole-in-chief himself. “Denazification”? “Caring for the Russian minority in Ukraine”? Ha, as if. All this bullshit has ever been is to quiesce one man’s megalomania.
From the deepest depths of my heart I say: Fuck you, you fucking prick, fuck your propaganda machine, and fuck your sycophantic bootlickers.
And you still have a lot of people saying that if we just traded more with Russia and didn’t add countries to NATO, this wouldn’t have happened.
That’s… Neither wrong, nor related to this article? Unless you have a crystal ball somewhere, that is?
That clearly shows, which value any negotiation with Putin have: none, none at all
He wants Ukraine to, all of it. No matter what.
That’s one way to say denazification was bullshit
Israel = russia Both using the same excuses to justofy occupation and genocide
Except nobody attacked russia. Just a tiny detail that, you know, breaks the whole ruzzian argument.
Ukraine didn’t attack russia as a response to russia agression? Palestinian has the right to defend itself and fight occupation. Israel attacked first in 67 and kept killing people, steal their homes since 48
Ukraine decided it wasn’t in 1991
I think it’s high time Finland retakes Karelia, on account of how thinly stretched Russia must be at this point.
How about no? That would be a political and economic disaster. That is, unless the Finns would somehow be ok with ethnically cleansing the russians and converting the while area to a nature reserve.
Russia is fortifying along Finland border though.
