suratan-zir:

So this was a pre-planned (and likely paid for by the Kremlin) show: to invite Zelenskyy, scold him like a kindergartener in front of the press, present him with an unreasonable “deal” – an ultimatum – knowing full well he will refuse it (as anyone in this position would).
And then tell the world: “Look, our mighty Orange King could’ve ended this horrible war in a day, but this poorly-dressed, warmongering, ungrateful twat just doesn’t want peace! It’s not our fault, we did what we could!”

The show is so cheap, so transparent, yet still effective for so many brainless people.
