Not the best time but a necessary move if Ukraine want to run the war longer.

Want to get rid of guy who exposes your corruption?
Accuse him of been Russian spy!!!

Of course Branko, you are very worried about corruption. That is why you support...Ruzzia??? Seriously, I would try to avoid the topic of corruption at all costs if I were you. Why do you think Europe - your hated "West" was able to block billions in Ruzzia funds? Why were they able to confiscate and block the Yatches of the Ruzzian plutocrats and finally, while Putin critizizes Europe and sell "the Ruzzia values", where the f*ck do you think his own children are working and studying??

You have a lot to think about, but you are trying not to.

According to ChatGPT you're wrong:

"While official information is limited, various reports indicate that Putin's children lead highly private lives, with his publicly acknowledged daughters residing in Russia
and involved in scientific and academic fields. The alleged children with Alina Kabaeva are said to live in secluded, secure locations within Russia, shielded from public view."

That could be since things started to get ugly, but you certainly could and sometimes still can see many Ruzzian children buying branded stuff in European capitals, and they do not seem to be working at a drone factory if you know what I mean.

Why Ruzzian money in Europe Branko? Keep it in the east, where you can live your "manly" values.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine proposed to Russia to hold next round of talks next week
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday said Ukraine’s negotiator had proposed to Russia to resume peace talks next week.

Guessing you're staying consistent and against these talks too? Need to get Ukrainians in line, no talks until Russia wastes all their ammo, just need to mobilize younger Ukrainians instead of talks, right?

Not sure where I'm or paxmao said that we're against negotiations. But I'm almost sure that this round of negotiations will end without any significant result again. Russia will send some 3rd tier politicians who have no power to make decisions to these negotiations. They only can tell obvious what we heard so many times already - Russia isn't going to make any discounts and Ukraine basically has to surrender.
Zelensky multiple times told that he is ready to meet Putin face to face, but seems that Putin don't have balls for such meeting.

I am certain I never said I am against negotiations. There is no way to end a war without negotiations of some other that the killing of absolutely every single oponent and I do not recall anything like in recent history (it did happen in ancient times though).... may be frozen conflicts and eternal wars are possible. That could potentially be an outcome.

And on things that actually matter...

Gazprom shares hit their lowest price in 15 years, capping a disastrous year for a linchpin of Russia's economy

Quote

According to Russian outlet RBC, Gazprom's 106.1-ruble share price on Tuesday represented its lowest value since January 2009. As of Wednesday, the share price had dropped further to 105.75 rubles.

In comparison, just before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Gazprom's share price hovered around 300 rubles

Kaaapoooff

The negotiations are a big NOTHING. Russia won't deal with Ukraine for 3 major reasons, and everybody knows it:
1. Zelensky is a terrorist... anybody can see his lies... and nobody deals with terrorists;
2. Z is not the authority for Ukraine since he won't-allow/hasn't-allowed elections, and isn't the reightful Ukrainian leader because of this;
3. the negotiation delegates from Ukraine have no authority, because Z is dictator of his own country. This means that there isn't really any Ukraine. It's just a bunch of media words from the West that Ukraine even exists any longer.

Russia is simply trying to restore Ukraine.

Cool
