Vladimir Putin has revived a controversial narrative, claiming that theoretically “all of Ukraine is ours.” He also sparked more immediate concerns with comments about seizing Ukraine’s city of Sumy.
Vladimir Putin has declared that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and that, in that sense, “all of Ukraine is ours.”
The assertion underscores Moscow’s continued underlying rejection of Ukrainian sovereignty and raises renewed alarm over Russia’s territorial ambitions.
Speaking at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday, Putin issued a series of provocative remarks, notably stating: “We have a saying… where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours.”

He looks like he’s wearing his skin as a mask. Like a Roboputin.

I want to take his face… off.

I think it’s a very heavy makeup line. His actual skin colour is what you see under his hair.
Taking a page out of trumps coloring book? Hmm.
Dictators can’t look old and frail.
I eagerly await the day I read the headline we’re all waiting for.
Honestly, there’s multiple headlines we’re all waiting for.
An obituary?
More like 100
If they are one people, then all of Russia is also Ukraine. And I happen to think Zelenskyy is a more legitimate leader.
I wonder if there’s a localized zone where there is some sort of really great density of people who consider themselves Ukrainians. And I wonder if there exists some distinguishable boundary between them - culturally, societally, dare I say politically - where on one side an individual would expect to encounter a Ukrainian, versus on the other side, where they would more probably expect to encounter a non-Ukrainian?
Edit: Maybe an edge? A ridge? Something that describes a clearly defined boundary between two distinct areas that are closely related in many regards while also being clearly distinguishable based on the split that defines the division between said areas…
Edit again: I swear it’s on the tip of my tongue. So frustrating. A line, maybe? That seems closer, but not quite there.
Well I’m standing on the planet so the world is mine.
Sure, but is it really yours if you can’t control it?
That’s one way to say denazification was bullshit
Like with “3-day special military operation” when Putin speaks it’s all foot.
Lane says all of Russia belong to Australia.
What now poots?
That clearly shows, which value any negotiation with Putin have: none, none at all
He wants Ukraine to, all of it. No matter what.
Even worse, negotiations have negative value since master of negotiations, the Orange himself, started his 24hrs peace plan.
I think it’s high time Finland retakes Karelia, on account of how thinly stretched Russia must be at this point.
Russia is fortifying along Finland border though.
How about no? That would be a political and economic disaster. That is, unless the Finns would somehow be ok with ethnically cleansing the russians and converting the while area to a nature reserve.
If he really believes the two countries should be united, he could always decide to surrender to Ukraine and give Ukraine control over Russia. I’m sure Ukraine would do a better job of governing Russia than Putin has done.
And you still have a lot of people saying that if we just traded more with Russia and didn’t add countries to NATO, this wouldn’t have happened.
Look at trump and his tariffs - trade is very important.
That’s… Neither wrong, nor related to this article? Unless you have a crystal ball somewhere, that is?
And there it is. Finally out in the open, by the asshole-in-chief himself. “Denazification”? “Caring for the Russian minority in Ukraine”? Ha, as if. All this bullshit has ever been is to quiesce one man’s megalomania.
From the deepest depths of my heart I say: Fuck you, you fucking prick, fuck your propaganda machine, and fuck your sycophantic bootlickers.
He was open about it before. He said it during the Tuck’s interview
I thought it was because of Nazis. Or because of NATO. Or because of <insert bullshit here>.
Not because of <insert imperialism here>.
He just really needs those ship docks.
Is it just me or has the number of lunatics on Lemmy really spiked in the past week? I mean, look at this guy… Or have we “finally” been discovered by the disinformation bots?
There may have been a small uptick overall, but that one is disproportionately insane, I think
Ukraine decided it wasn’t in 1991
From the Wikipedia article on Russia’s playbook: “Foundations of Geopolitics”
en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Foundations_of_Geopolitics
Israel = russia Both using the same excuses to justofy occupation and genocide
Except nobody attacked russia. Just a tiny detail that, you know, breaks the whole ruzzian argument.
Ukraine didn’t attack russia as a response to russia agression? Palestinian has the right to defend itself and fight occupation. Israel attacked first in 67 and kept killing people, steal their homes since 48
I’m just wondering when is this POS is going to die.
You leave Sumy alone, ya bastard! That’s where Shurap lives!
So, Putin is saying everyone should fire upon Russian forces everywhere outside Russia with no hesitation or questions asked?
By this same idiotic logic we all could do the same, put boots on Russian soil and claim it and the people are ours…lol…would be funny to turn around and give Putin a scare along these lines XD
all your base are belong to us.
