Trump: "Spare the lives of surrounded Ukrainian troops in Kursk"


Recommended Posts

Posted

President Trump said he strongly requested that Russian President Vladimir Putin spare the lives of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded by Russian troops, in a statement posted to his social media site.

“There is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end — BUT, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, AND IN A VERY BAD AND VULNERABLE POSITION,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Putin's response: "Surrender or die."
"Putin said Ukrainian soldiers were cut off inside the invasion zone. "And if a physical blockade occurs in the coming days, then no one will be able to leave at all, there will be only two ways - to surrender or die."

In tragic absurdity, Ukraine claims that their troops are not surrounded.  Time will tell.  We're finally getting to "reality crunch time" where the facts become obvious and the BS jettisoned..
"Ukraine’s top commander denied earlier this week that Ukrainian troops were being encircled in Kursk, Reuters reported, but said they were adopting better defensive positions."

No doubt we will be told that the Ukranians are marching on Moscow tomorrow and that the Ruskies are down to throwing rocks and shivering in fear.  🙄 Well, until we are told that the Ukrainians are being slaughtered and the West screams, "War Crimes!"  Stand by, we'll see.

Back when the invasion in Kursk started I said that the Russians would likely cut off the supply lines and the invasion would fail. Seems it took a while longer to do so than I thought, but surrounding the occupying forces is a pretty good way to cut supplies, and without supplies an army is doomed.

 

I don't envy the Ukrainains ( and even less if they are mercenaries ), and they best be hoping that the troops that taking them into custody are not some really PO guys from the back blocks of Russia that have seen many of their friends die at the hands of the Ukrainians.

Reuters said that.

Quote-mined and unreliable.

Reminds me of the Zimmermann 911 call, edited to fit the narrative.

 

 

"We are sympathetic to President Trump's call," Putin said in remarks broadcast on Russian television.

"If they lay down their arms and surrender, they will be guaranteed life and dignified treatment," Putin said.

They also regularly claim they've shot down all 67 of the 38 incoming missiles.

 

Missiles, which they claim, Russia ran out of.

Please check with your  friends in Russia for updated instruction.

Note that  ISW has observed no geolocated evidence to indicate that Russian forces have encircled a significant number of Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast or elsewhere along the frontline in Ukraine.  Not the first time Putin has made this claim. Putin claimed in October 2024 that Russian forces "encircled" 2,000 Ukrainian troops in Kursk Oblast, but ISW never observed any Russian milblogger claims or geolocated footage to substantiate Putin's October 2024 claim.

Putin has repeatedly failed to acknowledge that the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast extends from the Ukrainian-Russian international border and that Ukrainian forces can transit the sections of the border under Ukrainian control.  https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-march-14-2025

The leader of the free world said it, so it must be true.

 

Or I could listen to the propaganda claiming "tis but a flesh wound."

He should get back to us when the Ukrainians start winning. Losing ground is not winning, even in propaganda land.

 

Putin will agree to a ceasefire when it's convenient for Russia, not the Ukrainians. He's winning, so why would he agree to let the Ukrainians re arm and press gang more men? It's unlikely that the west can impose any meaningful sanctions as there are already so many, which have proven useless in stopping the war so far.

No, no. Donald has promised he can stop the war in 24 hours.

Still beating that dead horse then?

You guys always complain that Trump lies every time he opens his mouth, yet you adamantly believe he thought he was telling the truth when he said that.

Yawn.

I guess Donald wins because he talks so much more.

At least he gets to say things without a teleprompter unlike the last guy.

 

BTW, who was running the US while Biden was off in Lala land?
