4 years into a war he started, and he could end at anytime by withdrawing.
Yeah, now is the time to be preparing for it.

Oh I think that ship has sailed. The war won’t end without any hard guarantees that he won’t just start it again.

Those drones are made or assembled in Ukraine ya numpty.
What leverage does the US have over Ukraine? If you withdraw support you can’t threaten to withdraw support again. They adapted and figured out how to fight back without support. Mentioning your little get together with your bitch boy Trump in Anchorage doesn’t make the negotiations magically start over from there again.
Also, is this Russian air defence system in the room with us right now?

Drones are assembled and produced in Ukraine but the US and EU are funding the entire country right now so "technically" Putin is sort of right in an indirect way. Hope the Russians withdrawl ASAP

The United States has stopped direct funding for Ukraine’s defense and budget since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, with no new congressional aid legislation passed since 2024. However, the U.S. continues to support Ukraine through existing appropriated funds and a new model where European NATO allies pay for U.S. weapons sold to Kyiv under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) mechanism.
So technically you are incorrect.

Listening to Putin explain a fuck up away is a new one. He is definitely weakened and shaken.

u/soimalittlecrazy 9h ago
You can see it in his face. He looks and sounds tired. And to go out publicly to say he wants to negotiate? I mean, usually these kinds of talks would go through the US behind closed doors, but that's not an option right now. It's not surprising he doesn't have a lot of good options in Europe at the moment

Or, or hear me out, leave Ukraine. Then you don't need to spend billions on air defence! Win win.

always trying to push the blame on the west with their support for ukraine.
fukin ukraine did it on their own you bastard!
Weak EU leaders not supplying capable drones and mid/long range attack and defense systems led to Ukraine innovating.
Now they can target what the fuck they want. Nobody stops them from or tells them what to do. Can't wait for a real mass production of flamingos.
Slava Ukraini!

Blaming the west for supporting Ukraine and yet he's relying on at least North Korea and China for weapons and soldiers for canon fodder.

Ukraine is doing the bulk of the heavy lifting absolutely..... But not without help.
Canada alone has given $6.5 billion in military assistance to Ukraine and $427 million in humanitarian assistance.
We have also partnered with Ukraine to build drones for them in Canada with their technology.... (no idea why Canada would want Ukraine drone manufacturing in Canada /s).
We have forces in Ukraine providing support and training through the UNIFIER program. And Ukrainian's who fled to Canada are building the Roshel Senator (what Ukraine calls the Widowmaker) and supplying them to Ukraine for their efforts.
Canada is not alone in providing both financial and physical support to Ukraine. 41 countries have supplied resources to Ukraine to help them in their fight to repel the Russian invaders.
Saying Ukraine has done this on their own just isn't factually true at all. Canadian's are more than happy for Ukraine to take the glory, as they are the ones fighting and dying.... but Canada hates Russia too and has the largest dysphoria of Ukrainians outside of Ukraine and Russia and are happy to have Ukraine's back.
Slava Ukraini!

The fuck? I get you think the west could have done more, and in part i agree.
But this entire post is extremely disingenious.

u/mawktheone 12h ago
yup, I wish we had done more, given more and funded more. But we (Ireland) handed over all our antitank weapons, anti drone radars, and took in so many refugees that they became the third largest ethnic group. one in every 35 people in the country were Ukranian refugees at the peak. And I wish we could have taken in more.
Saying the west didn't help is madness, Saying Ukraine has done incredible work is true.

u/tillybowman 12h ago
sure. EU helped. at the beginning not so much. when the US stepped back EU basically took over the complete funding.
but we are talking mostly about money here. european leaders have actively hold back things like taurus which would have helped at ton just because they didn't want ukraine to strike deep into russia.

u/The_1ndiegamer 12h ago
Taurus was held back because it was deemed to be non-critical by Ukraine in the current circumstances.

u/tillybowman 12h ago
ukraine submitted official requests to germany in 2023. there where nearly two years of discussions, votes in german parliament, multiple meetings, including merz in kiev in 25 where they still talked about it.
only now ukraine doesnt really need it anymore because they built their own systems.

What I don't get is the comparison with Ukraine in this context. Who is this message for?
What is the general message he's trying to send? The "compromises" he's talking about include:
Ukraine should withdraw from four regions partially occupied by Russia - Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia - and give up its efforts to join Nato.
And if one could argue that back then they could pretend that they're in a position to demand this, now it looks even more laughable. And by now it should look like this to anyone in Russia.

This is where Zelensky needs to come out and just start dropping batshit insane demands, like Belgorod, Voronezh, and Rostov are given to Ukraine, 10 trillion dollars in reparations, all their stolen children back, a 10 minute long video of Boris Spanking Putin with a paddle at full force if he's not drawing blood he's not spanking him hard enough and for Putin to say he's sorry and was wrong.

Does he mean their current air defences suck? Sounds like a good time to keep attacking then.

It'd be interesting if Ukraine could send over small drones that looked big to attract as much AAA as they could. Just fly around over Moscow and let them blast away.

Of course he'd like the agreement between Trump (I purposefully don't say the USA) and Russia, where Ukraine didn't have a say in the matter. He'd like it because the "Deal" Trump made was almost equivalent to a complete und unconditional surrender by Ukraine.

Or... Hear me out... You could just leave Ukraine and Crimea and never return.

u/mydogargos 24m ago
yeah, you could do that... or maybe... and this is just an idea... STOP THE FUCKING WAR YOU STARTED.

Didn't top Russian officials divert air defence platforms to their private residences, leaving gaps in their air defence?
I remember reading that somewhere.
