Russian President Vladimir Putin will recognize the independence of eastern Ukraine’s separatist republics, the Kremlin said in a statement Monday, adding that he had informed the French and German leaders of his decision.
“In the near future, the president plans to sign the order,” the Kremlin said. It added that French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had “expressed disappointment” over the decision in phone calls with Putin.

Yeah I bet they did. I notice they didn’t express outrage at another part of Ukraine being annexed, or crippling sanctions to follow. It looks like these two bastards just sold Ukraine down the river again.
UA Wire says that Biden already promised putler a moratorium on accession to Nato. Seemingly without getting anything back.

The Winter Games are over. The invasion of Ukraine will be tomorrow..
And North Stream 2 is dead, Minsk Agreements dead, Normandy Talks dead………………what more can happen?
This measure is as illegal as the situation with Crimea. The rat can sign a hundred “decrees”, it doesn’t matter one bit. There is one good thing about this; it definitely kills the dead Minsk agreements, Steinmeier Formula and the Normandy Format, all in one stroke of his pen.
Now what, Germanystan, frog land and sleepy? Are you still ready to appease further?
Moscow Exchange goes south like a rocket and the ruble even more…………………….but he hashis 2 destroyed sjitholes.
Putin just now: Ukraine has abanoned the Russia language in the country…………………….I had to act.
Once Putin is dead all his conquests will fade. He opted for a weak Russia hanging on to Ukraine instead of a powerful Russia without Ukraine. A pussy.
I better tell my wife she is talking in an abandoned language. Putler is criminally insane and needs taking out like a rabid dog.
You don’t want her behind the times do you?
Russia is faced with a demographic disaster. According to projections I’ve seen, Putin won’t have an Army in 10 years. they are also facing a drastic shortage of engineers and technicians. The last full cohort to have been trained is now in their 50s.
China’s population is projected to be cut in half in 30 years. At first it was thought that point would not be reached until 2100. then they started looking at the figures of their last census. They quietly moved that date to 2070, and recently 2050. They miscounted the number of people by over 100 million. China is going away as well. Their population will be slightly larger than the size of the Army they sent into Korea in 1950.
