    Я не знаю, как долго это займёт, но уверен в своём прогнозе, что это злостное вторжение Путина в Украину означает начало конца диктатуры Путина и путинизма в России. Ни один нравственный человек не может поддержать эту отвратительную войну, а в России миллионы нравственных людей.

    Putin did this. The people of Mariupol did nothing to threaten Putin or Russia. Does the world really want people in power who commit such barbaric acts?

    The Kremlin's nuclear saber-rattling has quieted down somewhat, but concerns over use of chemical or biological WMDs remain. Thank you for having me on !

    “Reek” (sorry for typo)

    Ukrainian voters in a free and fair election made president. Putin invaded Ukraine to try to overthrow Zelensky and the will of the Ukrainian people. Russian "outcry" over Biden's remarks today wreak with hypocrisy.

    Instead, they're doing this:

    Russian state TV shows images of total devastation caused by Putin's troops, but ludicrously blaming Ukrainians: "Look at what the Ukrainian Nazis are doing to their own cities." This imagery is reminiscent of Chechnya and Syria, consistent with Russia's traditional handiwork.

    It’s not a “Russian-Ukraine conflict”. Its a Russian invasion of Ukraine.”

    On Putin, Biden expressed what billions around the world and millions inside Russia also believe. He did not say that the US should remove him from power. There is a difference.

    The only way Putin will withdraw his army is when they are no longer advancing. Ukraine needs more weapons to stop their advance. Ergo the fastest and most important action by outsiders to help end this war is to provide more weapons to shoot down missiles, airplanes & artillery

    Exactly.

    Or if Putin didn’t have assassins trying to murder Zelensky.

    And if they hadn’t spent the last century lying through their teeth at every turn.

    Russian outcry over Bidens comment today about Putin would have a lot more credibility if Putins army was not trying to overthrow the democratically elected president of Ukraine .

    De facto Putin already controlled major chunks of the Donbas before this war. So if the new goal of Putins war is “control of Donbas”, that is a major defeat. His war achieved nothing new (I remain skeptical, btw, of these alleged revised war objectives)

    Peskov is right. The Russian people should decide who rules Russia in a free and fair election with Putins main electoral challenger on the ballot and not in jail.

    Reacting to comment that Putin “cannot remain in power.” Kremlin spokesman Peskov tells me: “This not to be decided by Mr.Biden. It should only be a choice of the people of the Russian Federation.”

    If Putin was satisfied with his war, he would WANT independent media to be reporting on it. He would want to embed actual journalists with his soldiers. That he does everything to shut down that coverage tells you all you need to know about Putin's assessment of the war.
