Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered the encircled troops time to lay down their arms in exchange for their lives.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s offer to Ukrainian forces in Kursk Region to surrender is still valid, but time is running out, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

“It is still in effect,” he stated on Saturday in response to a question from TASS news agency. “Their time is shrinking like the Shagreen skin,” he added, in reference to Honoré de Balzac’s novel ‘The Magic Skin’.

On Friday, Putin guaranteed merciful treatment to Ukrainian fighters encircled in Kursk Region if they surrender. “If they lay down their arms and surrender, we will guarantee them their lives and dignified treatment in accordance with international law and Russian legal norms,” the president said. He indicated, however, that Kiev should order them to do so.

Putin’s statement was a response to US President Donald Trump’s call to spare the lives of the “thousands of Ukrainian troops” who are “completely surrounded by the Russian military.”

“This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II,” he commented on Truth Social.

Kiev launched a major offensive into Kursk Region in August 2024, successfully capturing the town of Sudzha along with numerous villages. Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky stated that the incursion across the internationally recognized border aimed to secure leverage for future peace negotiations.

However, the Russian military quickly halted the Ukrainian advance and has since been regaining territory. As of Wednesday, 86% of the land occupied by Ukraine was reclaimed, according to General Valery Gerasimov, the head of the Russian General Staff. He noted that the remaining Ukrainian units in the area are largely “encircled” and “isolated.”

  1. This song is again actual . First sung in 1954 by French/ algerian artist Mouloudji.
    Has been a long time verboden on radio diffusion. At the time Mouloudji was the only artist who accepted to sing it. Too subversive during colonial wars and its compulsory enrolment.
    Complete text/ translation to be found on internet

    The same song with english subtittle sung by the writer/ poet Boris Vian

  2. Thank goodness the end of this conflict is in sight, without NATO starting a nuclear war.

    You couldn’t get any worse than Jens Stoltenberg, a pathological narcissist, as the unelected bureaucrat Secretary General… Then along came Mark Rutte a psychopathic narcissist with the shameless arrogance that only a Dutchman can hold…. Still, the continent called Europe probably would no longer exist if little Napoleon complex himself Emmanuel Macron were ever to hold that title.

    • Well the war propaganda is going full throttle in Europe. The very choice of words, the outspoken intention of ” national contribution” as it seems the EU intend to appropriate the small savings from the EU population to re-arm and the idiot new german Kanzelier to indebt Germany ( for the benefit of blackrock) in order to implement war industries.
      Europe is ruled by corrupt criminals

  3. Putin has demonstrated true Statesmanship in this mess. The J3w$ who started the war remain arrogant and will never accept responsibility for starting the genocide of ethnic Russians in the east of the Ukraine in 2014 resulting in over 10,000 Russian Orthodox Christians dying at the hands of a Talmudic beast system that took over the Ukraine due to J3w3$$ Victoria Nuland (aka ‘Nudelman’) and the little J3wi$h porno-clown known as Zelensky starting the war which was initiated to kill as many White Orthodox Christian Gentiles / Goy as possible.
    The hatreds that the Zionist minions have for the same is clearly evident by their actions, ie kidnapping men off the street to be sacrificed via Blood Libel in the J3wi$h-initiated war against Russians, and trying to re-establish ‘Khazaria’ with admitted plans to make the area “another Israel’ as per Zelensky.
    The testing Putin’s patience continued via Ukrainian / Zionist lies until Putin would have no more of the deceptive Mossad-directed ops from violating the Minsk Agreement, and failing to abide by three simple request from Russia.
    The E.U., like the U.S., is run by Israel!
    Today it’s the semitic Palestinians being genocided, and tomorrow the rest of the world.
    That is why Putin’s actions are needed to stop these psychopaths and hopefully, the Ukraine will be partitioned out with the eastern part recognised as Russian (as legally voted on by the Lugansk / Donbass / Crimean Regions w/ international poll monitors in place who certified that the elections were true and honest…), and the remainder gifted to Poland (provided that Poland leaves NATO and reverts back to being neutral…) and neighbouring Eastern European Nations that border the current Ukraine.
    God Bless the Russian People, and especially Vladimir Putin, Sergei Lavrov, and Dmitri Medvedev, without whom the Talmudic Zionist hordes would destroy the free Christian World unchecked!

    AND- IF Israel attacks Iran on a supposedly ‘pre-emptive basis’, the following could happen within minutes when Iran & it’s allies (including support from Russia..!) retaliate-

  4. Notice the ‘Reactive Armour’ still intact on the front of the tank that was supposed to protect it?
    Russian tanks have a flaw with the carousel-loader which surrounds the crews, killing them instantly when the carousel is hit…
    Tanks are now made obsolete by the $400 drone…as it stands right now.
    DEW laser weapons on tanks may offer some defence, but that too is only partially effective in hazy / foggy conditions.
    Mini-Guns overheat and then jam….
    Yesterday I saw an entire village road on the news in which the Ukes placed chicken wire over the entire length of the road to catch drones and to prevent the same from hitting vehicles directly.
    That won’t help if the drones fly under the wires…
