Victors generally don’t accept the terms of the vanquished.
What a waste of lives and money for nothing.
Sputnik News used to be called “Voice of Russia” and “RIA Novosti” and it is one of several fully state owned media outlets in Russia.
In short, this news release is not in the least bit unbiased and it is in fact official Russian government propaganda.
Considering the way Western Leaders have ADMITTED to lying to Russia in 2014, why should Russia trust today’s batch of ‘leaders’, especially today’s batch?
Russia will end their operation when their objectives are met, that simple.
This ought to put paid to notions that a fair peace deal can be contrived as to Ukraine. Putin sees himself as winning and is not inclined to accept anything less than victory on his terms.
This all started in 2014 when Obama used his smelly anal fingers to foment a coup in Ukraine, and remove the duly elected president Viktor Yanukovych.
The 2014 “Color Revolution” was 100% funded by the Obama CIA and put in motion by the Deep State Golden Calf worshiper Victoria Nuland.
All Ukraine presidents since 2014 have been beholden to the degenerate Globohomo Eurotrash. Russia was forced to finally act to protect Russians in the Donbass.
Now there are a million dead Slavs (Ukrainian and Russian) which was very likely the Deep State plan all along.
