This is standard dictator behavior, giving up power for the benefit of their people.

I think you're being downvoted because you're missing the /s

If this needs to add /s then the downvoters have room temperature IQ.

Well a meat locker is a kind of room.

They're getting downvoted because the average Lemmy user is terminally incapable of reading the room.

To be fair, sarcasm doesn't really convey through text

Funny time to do it, once he's lost the war, had Ukrainians kidnapped straight onto the frontlines, and once negotiations are taking place without him (which might end with him in front of a jury). Not to mention member states have already taken it off the table which means "I'm not going at all". Might as well have said his only demand is to marry the tooth fairy.

But sure, y'all just keep fetishizing yet another western puppet who called off elections but did it "for the right reasons."

Do you support concession of the currently occupied territories?

Lmao. Might as well ask me if I condemn Hamas too. It doesn't matter what I support or don't support, what matters is what the people of the region support and have the ability to enforce. The DNR and LNR seceded after the US financed coup violated their democracy. Those territories were occupied from 2014 to 2022 by a US vassal, and you can tell by the endless patrols and bombing they endured.
