- Russia is the cause of Russia's war. Russian imperialism. Russian aggression. Russian power. Russian bloodlust. The only way to deal with Russia is to crush it. Not by violence, but by reducing Russia's economy to ruins. Until they plead for mercy. Until the Russians learn that murder is wrong.
- Putin has made it clear: first, negotiations on the causes, then talks on a ceasefire, said Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zakharova, commenting on Zelensky's reaction. She claims Kyiv misread Putin’s statement regarding talks.
