  2. I wouldn’t trust him or trump as far as I could throw them.

  4. Putin must have some extremely weird info about Donald Trump in his hands.

    There is no other possibilty. Why the hack should Trump sell his own country to the Russians and do everything to harm the west. There is a big mystery about Trump…. he must have done something incredibly shameful or evil.

    Let’s hack the info so we know!

  6. Putin does not care about ending the war. The meeting will not change that.

  7. I believe it’s possible that the us government is unaware that they have a security agreement with Ukraine. I am not being sarcastic.Don bacon republican congressman from Nebraska said in cbc interview Monday Aug 11:

    “If Ukraine ever has to give up any territory to get peace then they should have security guarantees from the US and other NATO countries so that Russia knows they cannot just renew this war next year”

    Ukraine already has security guarantees from the us and Russia not to invade.

    Just prior to this statement:

    “Russia has changed their borders 9 times since 1991”

    The security agreements are worthless.

  8. this is all a diversion tactic by trump that will go nowhere

    putin will not accept any white peace or neutral caesefire terms

    and ukraine will obviously not accept surrendering their land without enformcements of long term peace

    putin continues to believe he is winning and by staying in the game he can gain more territory, ignoring the losses both in manpower and financially

    putin is also motivated by his confidence in his defense, he firmly believes that even if he seems to run out of resources, he can defend forever, thus all he is doing in this war is exhausing russia to gain as much land before a clear stalemate is achieved

  9. Is Ukraine preparing to end the war? Of course not. Why would either side without a deal hurt their own negotiating position?

  10. To anyone following this war, the Russians are advancing. At great cost to themselves. But they are advancing. It was the same in WW2. They repelled the Nazis. At great cost. This is the modus operandi of the Russian army. Just keep throwing meat till something gives and then keep throwing meat after that.

    The world needs to actually get involved with troops on the ground but of course nobody wants to do that. So they send money and aid instead. But even that isn’t enough. It’s the bare minimum and it’s not enough.

  11. What made you even think that the approach of peace means a decrease in military activity? History clearly shows that in practice it’s quite the opposite. This was the case in both World Wars, in the Korean War, in the Iran–Iraq War, and in the Arab–Israeli War. I don’t know if Russia is preparing for peace, but the argument “they are advancing, so they don’t want peace” is a foolish one.

  12. At this point just let both countries just fight it out.

  13. They wont prepare because what if the talks fail. Then they have to unprepare.

  14. Why would they prepare to end war if they are not close to ending the war?

  15. It’s a breakthrough but being blown out of proportion by the media. The situation is still uncertain and developing 

  16. Someone tell Trump he might win the Nobel Peace Prize if he arrests Putin and turns him over to the ICC.

  17. What is with the title? Putin is trying to get as much territory as he can until that meeting. If the war ends there or not it doesn’t really matter. Ukraine lost it either way.

  18. The breakthrough, that is going away from Pokrovsk, isn’t getting the Russians any closer to the highway, is already stalling, and is about 10 square miles? That breakthrough?

  19. Putin is just playing for time, as he has been since he started his fucked up war. Trump will thrash about desperate for any credit and attention, as he normally does, and then the war will continue as before. Trump will then have another tantrum, put higher tariffs on some unsuspecting nation, and send troops into New York or Chicago, so that he can fuel his narcissism to feel better.

  20. They are breaking through only because zelenskyy does not open the frontline. He is the reason for the war.

    New tariffs in 2 hours. And maybe i will deploy the national guard.

  21. remember when people believed articles that Russian soldiers only had shovels left lmfao

  23. Putin cannot end the war. He ends the war and he’s done. He gambled everything on this and realized what a fragile pedestal a dictator stands on. He’s all in

  24. It’s just an excuse for Trump to chicken out on tariffs again.
