Putin reaffirmed that Moscow was ready for a peaceful settlement that would address the “root causes” of the conflict, a reference to the Kremlin’s tough conditions for a deal. FRANCE 24’s Rochelle Ferguson Bouyahi breaks it down for us.

  4. He's desperate. The war chest is running out of money. Russian oil is being sold for 40 dollars. They need a price of 46 dollars to break even.

  7. its last chance for putin to stop war in trump term after trump term end its difficult for Russia u.s will finish Russia

  11. Nothing has changed. Russia continues their long war of attrition against Ukraine. Eventually Ukraine’s manpower shortage will be its demise.

  12. Look at Russia and see what real democracy looks like. Western media is there asking Putin questions directly and openly. You do not see any Russian reporters in the west because you've blocked them all. Russia gives them a voice while west blocks theirs. And you're telling me you're democracy and Russia is not!?
    I advise everyone to watch the whole press conference.

  23. 🌎 Global solutions comment. I'm glad to hear Ukraine's president is considering thinking of giving up a little bit of his land this is a key 🔑 strategic move how so #1 it was secure his civilian population #2 it will secure his what's left of his military forces #3 it will also secure the European nations civilian population as well as the military#4 and it would also secure vital assets in the European nations like the electricity grid the oil refineries or whatever valuable assets they have that they will lose if they are dragged into this war #5 furthermore no one from Russia is it going to be packing their bags and wanting to move to Ukraine because why ❓❓❓ because all the death that took place on that land that they would be moving to and will be reminded of it every day that they're there#7 and if they did move their they'd be very unwelcome and most likely have to look over their shoulder would really not want to be there#8 and most likely the Ukraine's will (migrate )back into the land that was given up over time so Ukraine will get it back eventually##10 most likely it won't take long ( integrate) back into that land once Putin dies from old age or medical reasons I could go on and on but I would like to make mention I know that Ukraine did not start the war but they can end it and they can secure what's left of their civilian population insecure the Europeans civilian population as well and save the European nations from being turned into a demolition zone so that's why it's a good idea for silencio to come to the go to negotiating table as soon as possible to prevent that from happening 🌎 Global solutions

  24. 🌎 Global solutions there was a lot of speech to text errors and some formatting problems I have to start proof reading my emails better but I'm sure you can decipher out what I'm conveying and take out the key points that make common sense and put it together and I would see all the BENEFITS that would take place BY Ukraine's president using. DIPLOMACY AND DISCERNMENT THAT CAN SAVE NOT ONLY HIS CIVILIAN POPULATION BUT THE EUROPEAN CIVILIAN POPULATION AND KEEP THE WHOLE COUNTRY FROM TURNING INTO A DEMOLITION ZONE FOR POSSIBLY TWO OR THREE YEARS AS WELL AND I'M SURE THE EUROPEAN NATIONS AND THE CIVILIAN POPULATION AND THEIR MILITARY DOES NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT WONDERING WHEN THE NEXT MISSILE OR DRONE STRIKE WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND WORRYING ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN AND FAMILY AND HAVING TO LIVE IN FEAR EVERYDAY SO WITH THAT SAID UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT WOULD BE. CALLED A . ( HERO ) FOR SAVING NOT ONLY HIS CIVILIAN POPULATION. BUT EUROPEAN NATIONS AND KEEPING THEIR COUNTRY SAFE AND NOT END UP LIKE UKRAINE A DEMOLITION ZONE THIS IS IS A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH COUNTRIES AND THEY CAN HELP BUILD THEIR COUNTRIES UP ONCE THE WAR IS OVER 🌎GLOBAL SOLUTIONS ROUGH DRAFT. DECLASSIFIED
