Putin.

Putin.

I watched it twice, but still could not find anything to analyze here, because in reality it is simply his own kind of triumphant stream of consciousness.

You know, pure jubilation that Trump has just handed him a diplomatic victory — a trilateral summit in Shenzhen — and now he feels on top of the world, like, it takes seven people to hold him back. Hold him back, everyone — Ukraine, Europe, here I come.

He is not even trying to choose his words. They tell him: Zelensky is ready to recognize the loss of territories (Zelensky has been ready to recognize them for a year and a half already), and he struts: those are not their territories at all. Europe wants to fight? Well, let them fight, “come to realize the realities of modern life.”

Pure gangster flair. He has entered “wipe them out in the outhouse” mode. All that remains is for him to take off his shoe and start showing them Kuzka’s mother.

What is most infuriating about this situation: the AFU do everything to make him look pathetic — and on Friday he really does look pathetic at the briefing with Gerasimov, where they are taking Sviatohirsk, which is 20 km away from them.

But then, like a piano falling out of the bushes, Trump appears and elevates him to the level of an arbiter of the world’s fate.

And now he is no longer a loser stuck in Donbas for the fifth year, but the architect of an entire European security system...

Fucking disgusting. That is the word.

▪️[Zelensky said he is ready to recognize the loss of territories]. First of all, this is not their territory. This is the territory of historical Russia. Especially since the people voted for independence and reunification with the Russian Federation. It is inappropriate to speak of territorial losses.

▪️This gave European countries a reason to launch an anti-Russian campaign in every direction, and now also to speak of a threat from Russia and the start of preparations for war with Russia, which is political schizophrenia.

▪️It is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield; it is unrealistic to inflict a strategic defeat on it. The people who have sought Russia’s strategic defeat in every century will come to realize the realities of modern life and understand that it is better to live amicably with Russia.

▪️The peoples of Europe do not want to fight Russia; I want us to be heard. And neither do we. We are not preparing for any kind of war with Europe. But why the Ukrainian leadership decided that the whole world must pay, fight for them, supply them with weapons and equipment — that is unclear. They want to fight? We do not want to fight Ukraine. But if the current Ukrainian leadership wants to fight, then let them fight.

▪️We have always stood for peace. In 2014, we said: let us help you reach an agreement with the southeast of what was then Ukraine. No — guns, planes against the civilian population; they practically unleashed a war.

With what southeast? It is like saying: let us help Moscow reach an agreement with St. Petersburg so that they do not fight each other.

▪️Before the start of our actions to protect people in Donbas, we also told them: well, let us come to an agreement. [They said]: no, we will fight. Well, please.

▪️These are people very close to us. The latest genetic studies show that they are in fact one people — Russians and Ukrainians. We can come to an agreement, but if someone wants otherwise — fine, it will be otherwise.

▪️We will accomplish our tasks. All the goals of the “SMO” will be achieved.

▪️We are ready to resume trilateral contacts. The goal will be to discuss the issue of ensuring the security of Ukraine and Russia after reaching peace agreements, and in their final form, rather than as a result of suspending hostilities for a short period of time. Naturally, it is also necessary to discuss the architecture of European security.
