"Apparently, the enemy is striving to improve its negotiating positions in the future," Putin said Monday. "But what kind of negotiations can we even talk about with people who indiscriminately strike at civilians, at civilian infrastructure?"

My guess is that Ukraine is not inentionally targeting civilians, which is a significant difference.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 months ago

A very significant difference.... vast majority of Ukraine's over-the-border strikes have exclusively been military camps, infrastructure, and usually energy/export infrastructure that Russia uses for oil revenues. The right way to conduct a war.

If they were, we wouldn’t believe it. That’s the double-edged sword of lying constantly.

I'm surprised he's publicly acknowledging this improves Ukraine's negotiating position. He seems so paranoid about it that he thinks he needs to get ahead of Russians pressuring for peace by portraying Ukrainian soldiers as monsters.

The Ministry of Truth has spoken.

Bruh indeed. If Ukrainians were half as bad as Russians have been in their strikes, Belgorad and Kursk would be flattened rubble, St. Petersburg would be full of husks of buildings and there wouldn't be a single intact hospital within the city limits of Moscow. But yeah, please go on how Ukraine is attacking civilians.

Russia is the Katie Ledecky of gaslighting.
