Putin offers truce if Ukraine exits Russian-claimed areas and drops NATO bid. Kyiv calls it 'absurd'
Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Friday to 'immediately' order a ceasefire in Ukraine and begin negotiations if Kyiv started withdrawing troops from the four regions annexed by Moscow in 2022 and renounced plans to join NATO.
Is reason why Russian language sounds terse. Not need many word.
:)) And yet, for such economy of words, they write profound and lengthy novels.
I took Russian at work for about a year; had to leave it just as we were being introduced to the perfective verbs. I admired the language, both how it sounded and looked. It seemed in keeping with their approach to engineering: spare, thoughtful, and concise.
