“We were deceived”: Putin spouted a ton of nonsense about agreements with Ukraine

Putin complained about negotiations with Ukraine/Collage 24 Channel< p _ngcontent-sc90 class="news-annotation">On the afternoon of May 17, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin again told tales according to his training manuals. This time they touched upon the topic of peace negotiations with Ukraine and famous “achievements” like “Kyiv in three days.”

The day before, the head of the Kremlin arrived in China has already talked to reporters today. There he complained that Russia was “dumped”, since the Russians were unable to take Kyiv allegedly because of an “agreement”, and not because of their own insolvency, reports 24 Channel .

Not without “Kyiv in three days”

The Russian dictator once again accused Ukraine of not agreeing to the conditions that were put forward at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, namely in the spring of 2022. According to him, then in Istanbul a document was allegedly signed by the “leader of the Ukrainian delegation” David Arakhamia, but our state itself is allegedly to blame for “withdrawing from the negotiation process.”

He said that this was carried out precisely on the initiative of Ukraine, and not Russia. At the same time, Putin noted that the Kremlin is supposedly ready for dialogue, despite Moscow’s actions, which prove the opposite. The dictator also recalled that the Russians were unable to capture Kyiv at the beginning of 2022 due to alleged pressure from Western leaders who called for agreements.

When our troops stood near Kiev, we were told what our Western partners told us: we cannot sign documents if the opposite side has a gun pointed at our head. We withdrew our troops from near Kyiv, the next day they threw all our agreements into the trash, and said that now we will fight to the end,” Putin said absurdly.

According to him, Russia was simply “deceived once again.” Therefore, he argues that the aggressor country must now supposedly understand with whom “it can deal in relation to Ukraine” and who to trust. Today, as the Kremlin head explained, the analysis allegedly continues. However, Putin considers the Istanbul agreements to be the “base for negotiations.”

He complained that Russia was not invited to the Peace Summit

He said that they are trying to impose unacceptable rules on Russia, although he admitted that the document proposed for discussion at the Summit is voluminous and multifaceted, prescribing security guarantees for Ukraine and Russia.

However, as Putin assures, the Russian side is not going to discuss it, since all these proposals are based “on desires.” There were also hints of the superiority of the Russian army on the battlefield.

They fell from the oak tree? Why is this? We will proceed from the realities that are developing on earth, he said.

The dictator also said that Russia will monitor behind the Peace Summit in Switzerland, but is not going to discuss the settlement ideas proposed by Ukraine.
