from the guardian feed

quote:

Russian president Vladimir Putin yesterday claimed that his country is prepared to negotiate a peace agreement � though this would certainly demand Ukraine give up the approximately 20% of its territory occupied by Russia.

He said at the meeting with African leaders yesterday, according to the BBC:

In fact, a draft of this treaty was agreed upon, but after the withdrawal of our troops from Kiev � and we were asked to do this in order to create conditions for concluding a final treaty � the Kiev authorities abandoned all previous agreements � Of course, I won�t talk about the details of what we agreed on now, probably, this will not be very correct.

Moscow claimed its retreat from the Ukrainian capital was a �goodwill gesture� but observers said Russia had been forced into the move and had to concentrate its forces closer to its border.

I'm sure it's a legitimate peace offer and not something he's pulling out of his rear end to mollify leaders who might become unfriendly if his attacks on Ukranian grain shipping result in a spike in food prices.

This is him attempting to shift the blame for when a price spike happens.

Russia: We would like to negotiate. Our terms are everything we want and none of the things you want.
Ukraine. We would also like to negotiate. Our terms are everything we want and none of the things you want.

Late in the evening of 28 July, Russian propagandists reported that traffic on the Crimean Bridge was temporarily blocked.

Source: RIA Novosti, a Kremlin-aligned Russian news outlet

Quote: "Vehicular traffic on the Crimean Bridge is temporarily blocked".

Details: There is no information on the reason or duration of the decision.
Sergey Aksyonov, so-called Head of the Russian administration in occupied Crimea, said that an "emergency" had happened on the Crimean Bridge and the bridge has therefore been closed to traffic. Russian Telegram channels have reported that a span on the bridge has collapsed.

It appears the Crimean bridge lost another span lmao, that's what came of trying to quickly reopen the bridge to traffic
Yet another masterful 5D chess move by POCCNR

Shogeton: Apr 26, 2007; "Little by little the old world crumbled, and not once did the king imagine that some of the pieces might fall on him"

Yeah, destroying Ukraine's capability to export grain has a lot of pluses for Russia, as long as they get away with it.

Reduces Ukraine's income
Increases their own income because the price of grain goes higher
Makes countries that depend on grain imports more dependent on Russia, since one of the major alternatives can't supply
Adds unpleasant consequences to a continued war (famine) that might convince some people in the west to feel that we need to stop supporting Ukraine so the war ends and things go back to normal.

And it's hard to gently caress with it I imagine. It's kind of a prime necessity, so if you put sanctions on it, you're just going to punish the countries that buy it, since they don't really have an alternative to buying that grain except 'well, famine I guess' which isn't going to fly.

Figure the best way might be to have NATO ships escort Ukraine's grain ships and dare Russia to attack 'em?

This is why Strelkov ending up in prison for mouthing off at monke so much is a fitting coda to the disaster he was responsible for. He has to watch Puccia and its "army" fall apart in real time, be unable to do anything about it, get vilified by the apathetic population of the country he served his whole life as some kind of traitor because monke and friends said he was one, and possibly even disappear to be never seen again if push comes to shove. A fitting reward for the man who wanted the Soviet Union brought back, a complete true believer in that cause, only to understand too late that POCCNR Monke doesn't have any use for true believers.
