1 day agoPutin open to meet Zelenskyy in Moscow, Kyiv says unacceptable'
A meeting between Russia and Ukraine is possible, but Moscow will pursue its aims militarily if no peace deal is reached.
And he wants Ukraine to be at least subjugated to Russia, because he doesn't think that Ukraine's an independent country or independent nation. Ukrainians are just Russians with accents. That's his view. I've heard him talk about it personally. I've been in the room when he talks that way. And maximally he wants to bring it all into Russia. So, tragically, I think the only way he negotiates seriously is when he's stopped on the battlefield and his armies cannot march further west.
