Important to understand he only stayed for a few hours and then left.

You mean the newest area of Ukraine, Kursk?

Zelensky said in 2022 that he will never negotiate with Putin and that his mighty army would retake the Donbass, the nuke plant and Crimea.

His mighty army, armed with 350 billion in NATO currently can't even stop basic Russian infantry from advancing towards their main supply base.

Well, they can trade Crimea for Kursk now.

Or the war can continue, and they can take more of Russian territory.

Clearly the Russian army is too incompetent to stop them.

Modi understands the history and the civil war. He doesn't subscribe to the narrative, which everyone was fed hook, line and sinker.

Kursk for Crimea?

Reality check: the interlopers are in Sudzhansky District of Kursk Region, which is confined to the border areas.

1 - they don't control KNPP.

2 - they don't control anywhere of strategic-military significance.

3 - unlikely they will achieve both of the above.

Sit down for talks with Putin and be prepared to hand over large areas of your territory.

What a deal!

For now. Russia is a big country, and there is a lot more of it ripe for the Ukrainians to take.

Especially since Russia has shown itself entirely incapable of defending itself.

Sorry, was I not supposed to reality check your Kremlin Hopium?

The Modi summit is another in long series of disasters for Putin and his inept cronies.

Putin's weak leadership skills are highlighted my the fact Russia has experienced a series of Islamist terror attacks recently, prompting questions about whether its extensive security agencies have been distracted by the invasion of Ukraine and the internal crackdown on anti-war dissent.

In March, the Afghan branch of IS, known as Islamic State Khorasan Province, claimed responsibility for a mass shooting at a Moscow concert hall, the deadliest terror attack in years, which killed 139 people.

And in June, gunmen opened fire in two cities in Russia’s north Caucasus region of Dagestan, targeting a synagogue, two Orthodox churches and a police post, killing at least 15 police officers and a priest.

If anyone here buys Zelensky's theory that he will ransom Russia with a minor border area... You've lost your mind.

It will not happen.

Awww come on now. They haven’t killed THAT many Russians.

Also relevant to observe Russia will be building nuclear power plants in India.

Some background on Modi and India buying Russians arms.

My, admittedly, wild guess, is that the war has curtailed arms sales to India before Modi was ready.

Time to come to the table and talk peace and save lives.

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

Yes. Both sides can withdraw their troops back to their own soil and end the war. Good and simple initiative by Modi.

Time to come to the table and talk peace and save lives.

The easiest way for Russia to prevent more of their fascist invaders being killed - to add to the tens of thousands already buried - is to withdraw from sovereign Ukraine.

This has turned into a much, much bigger meat-grinder for fascist Russia than the Afghanistan disaster, which was small by comparison.

God speed, brave Ukrainians. Go after that rubbish, put them where they belong.

I'm sure Modi is capable of understanding what territorial integrity and independence mean and that these have not been offered to Ukraine...

Yup. Basically a photo-op. He doesn't give two cow patties about Ukraine.

Modi understands the history and the civil war.

Modi is capable of understanding that Donbas and Crimea residents aren't building Su-57s and didn't have millions of artillery shells and glide bombs on their territory in 2022.

" Russia is a big country, and there is a lot more of it ripe for the Ukrainians to take.Especially since Russia has shown itself entirely incapable of defending itself."

Sounds easy enough for the gamechangers. Prediction of more or less than 72 hours to take Moscow? What does Miley say?lol

India's Narendra Modi urged President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday to sit down for talks with Russia to end the war in Ukraine and offered to act as a friend to help bring peace as the two leaders met in wartime Kyiv.

Or maybe Zelensky could offer to mediate between India and Pakistan over Kashmir...

Just like Putin.

Modi adds Zelenskyy to the list of leaders he has hugged. This globetrotting hugger should have been kicked out in the elections earlier this year but the opposition is no better.

Keep on striving for peace PM Modi, peace already given we just need to attain it.

So did Modi did discuss Minsk agreement and why that was sabotaged resulting in this war, this is what Zelenskyy needs to discuss with Putin and come to some agreement, but if he does that, another coup will follow and Zelenskyy will be out and replaced by another puppet. Trump on the other hand has the capability to enforce talks and potentially bring peace, Modi a.t.p does not have that capability.
