This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 62%. (I'm a bot)

It includes lands that Russia doesn’t even currently control. Kremlin “peace talks” have always been fundamentally deranged.

Maybe. But that's not what the front page looks like.

Both sides are having a bad time there.

Russia has been trying to take that city for like 6months and suffered a ridiculous number of casualties trying to do so. At the same time Ukraine has lost a lot to defend it.

Russia really wants to capture the city as some symbolic win, so they're just throwing everything at it. It means they suffer a lot of losses, but also slowly make progress.

Russia should have given up on that city ages ago and tried an offensive somewhere else.

So then what do they want to talk about?

So in fact they arent open to Ukraine talks. Noted.

Austria in particular, for some reason

No, us taxpayers are in for a rude surprise when we have to subsidize states like Florida.

So: not really open to talks.

I'm still traumatised. It's my home town. The Russians were taken ill 20yds from the library I used as a child. They dumped the poison bottle in Elizabeth gardens, where we all used to go to smoke weed in the 70's. Guy who found it, his girlfriend died. FUCK PUTIN.

Nothing Wong with that

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just compensate them with a 100 million or something rather than dismantle the whole park?

Exactly this.

Why won't they stop complaining about France then?

not sure if this is serious

or a rant because he didnt like his meal

France seems to think there might be a large war soon, based on the fact that they are pushing their industry towards producing ammunition and war equipment and based on their troops deployment.

I've also heard rumors about them thinkink of deploying nukes in Baltic to deter Russia but those were rumors, and from last year.

It's rich Putin's chef's mercenaries are named after Hitler's favourite composer. When he's claiming to fight nazi's. Dude needs striking by lightning out of irony

It would start an arms race of sorts. You jail a spy, they jail yours. They kill a spy, we kill yours.

Things can get out of hand, and honestly removing them usually completely destroys whatever they were doing, same as jailing them.

That's a bit extreme. There is bias yes, but those who take time out of their day to comment are usually the most extreme ones. And upvoting good news and downvoting bad ones is both a coping behaviour as it is a political statement. No-one wants to upvote Russian successes because it undermines Ukrainian moral and international support. So we don't.

But I would wager that most here absolutely see the war for what it is - currently a stalemate.

Unfounded rumors?
