Russian president says war in Ukraine winding down, slamming Western support for Kyiv. Putin spoke after telling soldiers they were fighting an “aggressive force” in Ukraine. A spate of Ukrainian long-range attacks in recent weeks prompted the Kremlin to ramp up security measures. “This should be the final point, not the negotiations themselves,” Putin says. “Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War,” Trump tweets.

slamming Western support for Kyiv
That’s rich when you have North Koreans in your parade.
war in Ukraine winding down
because Ukraine is blowing up all Russia’s sources of income?
It’s winding down because Putin is considering pleading for peace soon. Ukraines infrastructure hits are getting more and more costly.
Putin needs 5 or 6 years to rebuild his arsenal for his next invasion. Unless he loses and is deposed, any peace treaty is just a delay to recover until the next attack.
That sounds about right. Every single “ceasefire” has was just a ploy to reposition troops and try to hit Ukraine harder. He better call for peace and leave, otherwise there can’t be “peace”. If they do agree on peace, it’ll still be disastrous for Russia though, because Ukraine will immediately join NATO and the EU.
It has been quite a long three-day special military operation…
What a long winding confusing road to walk, only to arrive right back where we started, making the whole thing pointless. Guess Russia should have listened 4 years ago.
“Russia go home”
They probably still want Crimea and therefore have to be destroyed.
Time is flowing slowly when you do something not fun.
It can be over. He just needs to give up and leave.
He’s probably suffering from burnout, and wants to go vacationing in The Hague.
Interesting it’s coming from Putin. What does this mean? Is it a lie, or is it Russia noticing an opportunity to sell more oil? Maybe Putin thinks if he stops the war, other countries will be open to trading with him again. Considering the economic situation in Russia is supposedly not good, Trump may have done Putin a favor with the Iran War and Hormuz blockade.
