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.”
all your base are belong to us.
“We have a saying… where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours.”
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
You leave Sumy alone, ya bastard! That’s where Shurap lives!
I’m just wondering when is this POS is going to die.
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
From the Wikipedia article on Russia’s playbook: “Foundations of Geopolitics”
Ukraine (except Western Ukraine) should be annexed by Russia because “Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics”. Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible according to Western political standards. As mentioned, Western Ukraine (comprising the regions of Volynia, Galicia, and Transcarpathia), considering its Catholic-majority population, are permitted to form an independent federation of Western Ukraine but should not be under Atlanticist control.
Ukraine decided it wasn’t in 1991

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
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.
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 was 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
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.
That’s… Neither wrong, nor related to this article? Unless you have a crystal ball somewhere, that is?
Look at trump and his tariffs - trade is very important.
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.
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.
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.
Lane says all of Russia belong to Australia.
What now poots?
