Putin Speaks: Russia's Position on Ukraine at the St. Petersburg Forum
In the bustling setting of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear that Russia isn't yarding for Ukraine's surrender, but is all about acknowledging the ground truths shaping the region.
"We ain't swoopin' in for Ukraine's surrender. We're shoutin' out the raw deal on the ground we Want people to accept," Putin barked during the plenary session.
The Russian president clarified that the squabble between Russia and Ukraine ain't on the same playing field as what US President Donald Trump's trying to rack up with Iran - demandin' their complete fold on their nuclear program. "This ain't the same game, it's a whole different ball game," Putin repeated.
