  1. Just a mind game to act like they are interested in peace. If Zelesnky was to agree, they would find another reason to back down.

  2. “See? We wanted to talk but it’s those Ukranians that refuse to and drag this military action on”

  3. Isnt this exactly what he was saying a few months ago?  I love how putin just gets to recycle the same four out five platitudes, rinse, repeat

  4. “Please enjoy this cup of Russian Drink while you admire the view from this 24th storey window.”

  5. On neutral ground, Putin would be too scared to meet Zelensky. All his brown suitcases that he uses to shit in wouldn’t be enough for him.
    Putin was nobody his whole life, a pathetic KGB nobody who got fired, and if you get fired from the KGB, you’re a real loser. After that he carried other people’s suitcases.
    Zelensky, on the other hand, was a famous actor, built his own show business from scratch, and it was extremely successful, looks sharp, speaks well, and most importantly, has real willpower.
    Cowardly Putin will never meet him face to face.

  6. “Hey Zelenskyy thanks for meeting us. Just step onto this comically large mouse trap for me”

  7. Sad thing is there’s no shortage of chuds out there who think this is an invitation made in good faith and would blame Ukraine for not accepting.

    Reports are coming out that Putin wants to host Zelensky and his staff at an elaborate tea party hosted by Walder Frey

  9. They know he won’t go, it’s just a power play so they can say they offered and make him out to be difficult.

    It isn’t even the case that if he agreed he’d be assassinated – it would make zero difference to the war in terms of Ukraine’s power, Zelensky already has a chain of people set up to replace him if anything happened, and is planning to stand down once the war ends anyway. For Russia’s part, they’d be hit even harder with sanctions and have frozen assets freed up to pay for Ukraine.

    It’s simpler than people are making out – Russia are just offering up a non-offer to make it look like they’re being reasonable when they arent.
