Russian President, Vladimir Putin said there is no need for peace negotiations with Ukraine

[Augusta]

Vladimir Putin, Russian President, Monday, August 12, said there is no need for peace negotiations with Ukraine saying its neighbour aims to improve its position in future negotiations with its invasion into the Russian region of Kursk since last week.


He said “It appears that the enemy, with the support from their Western backers, is executing their directives, and the West is using Ukrainians as proxies in this conflict. It seems the opponent is aiming to strengthen their negotiating position for the future,”

He said this during an operational meeting with government officials in the capital Moscow

I doubt it he even had plans for a peace talk in the first place. They are all so eager to go to the battlefield.

They are all so eager to go to the battlefield.

No one is "eager" to go to the battlefield but sometimes you have no alternative and have to fight.

You don't want to, you dread going, but you go if you have to and in this case, the Ukrainians went and they're doing as well a job as anyone expected, perhaps better than expected.
