Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

"Russia says it is Ukraine that is refusing to talk" well what the fuck did you expect you invaded their country, you have been killing 1000's of civilians you have legally tried to annex Ukrainian land as you did with Crimea.

Now Ukraine are kicking your ass and given you a bloody nose and actually fought back it is not the same army as back in 2014 when invaded their country... they have been fighting you since then... Russia is probably going to loose all the annexed land as well as Crimea... The only way Ukraine should come to the table is if Russia withdraws all its troops including those in Crimea.
