In response to Trump’s recent request to ensure the safety of Ukrainian troops encircled in Kursk Region, Putin confirmed that Russia is guided by humanitarian considerations. He assured his counterpart that Ukrainian soldiers who surrender will be granted safety and treated in accordance with Russian laws and international humanitarian norms.
[in other words, foreign mercenaries are still not covered by the Geneva convention.]
In any case, the article mentions:
the mutual cessation of infrastructure hits,
the beginning of a ceasefire in the Black Sea,
the 175-each prisoner exchange (plus 23 severly wounded Ukrainian soldiers),
Putin had to give Trump an opportunity for some Beautiful Bombast. Trump is very very good at that. AND, sports have suffered immensely during this whole standoff between superpowers - which has preddy much flown under the wire. Some of these people have trained and watched everything they eat, for 15 years to reach their personal pinnacle, only to be told: NO by the authorities for ideological reasons.
If the Hockey match happens, it will be golden. Mind you, that gives us a bit of a datefag, maybe - will it be a offseason match? In which case, go to it any time. Will it be in this season? OR will it start next season?
If we consider symbolism: May 9 is Victory Day in Russia (link), so it would be really double-plus good if all of this came true, and there was a Russia/USA match to kick it all off, just for show. Trump was there, golden, in Moscow, and Xi too.
So, for example, if they say 75 000 died in Kursk, it's akshully 150 000. Just think of it. (But they weren't counting the mercs, or the peeps inside a vehicle that only leave body-parts)Generally, they are masters of understatement. So if they mention any kind of figure, double it.
Hopefully agreeing to disband NATO/full surrender of Ukraine

a vote in the UN to end this conflict,
further bilateral relations,
stabilizing the Red Sea issue,
further discussion on economic cooperation,
PLUS, a USA-Russia Hockey match.
🤣🤣 That's great! Not into hockey, but I would definitely watch that!
What's next, Putin arm wrestling Zelenskyy?
💪😂

Just for reference, The Ice Hockey World Cup kicks off on May 9 this year (link).

Very interesting!
Then there's the gold replica of the FIFA World Cup he got. Make International sports great again!
Indeed, gold will feature, I feel.
That would be cruel, Putin would rip Zs arm off.
LOL!
And hit him over his head with it! 💪
Tough guy Sean Penn crapped out?
Hopefully Trump knows that with the Russians, you may trust, but you MUST verify.

Keep in mind RT is blocked across Europe and Euro media NEVER reports on anything the Russians say, except to misquote occasionally.
Kno dat, that's why I always effort-post RT links. Give a summary and maybe commentary, find the best comment etc.
