Vladimir Putin said a U.S. delegation is expected to arrive in Moscow in the first half of next week to discuss the latest American proposal to end the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine.

Speaking at a press conference during a visit to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Thursday, Putin said no draft peace agreement had been agreed to in recent talks between the U.S. and Ukraine, only a list of issues to be discussed.

Putin also said it was “pointless” to sign any documents with Ukraine’s current leadership, alleging that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy lacked legitimacy to do so.

    That’s great to hear, as the US is also ready to fight until the last Ukrainian.

          No actually they are not, for instance Lockheed Martin AFAIK the biggest weapons manufacturer in USA, is worth about the same as it was 5 years ago.
          European military companies on the other hand have increased a lot in recent years, while American have declined.
          USA alone and not to be trusted is not a good strategy for exporting weapons to former allies.
          ALL NATO countries are seeking alternatives to American weapons now.

          Contrary to McDonnell Douglas Rheinmetall has increased 700% in 3 years!!

          Rheinmetall:

          Lockheed Martin https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LMT/

          Edit:
          Changed US example to Lockheed Martin.

            Oh my, look at that Lockheed Martin stock jump in early 2022. Wonder what happened around that time. Do you have an example that disproves my point, instead of literally sourcing exactly what I said?

              You really are a special kind of dense, look how it immediately drops again so it now is at the exact same level it was 4 years ago.
              Why are you spreading false info?

                I’m literally looking at the link you provided. Went from 330, then Russia fully invaded Ukraine in Feb of 2022, and stock price shot up, though now it’s back to a meager 450.

                  No matter how you look at it, even 20% in 4-5 years is very far from through the roof, especially considering the USD also lost 10-15% value in that time.

                  Rheinmetall was about €80 5 years ago and is now €1500 that’s an increase of 1775%, Now THAT’S THROUGH THE ROOF.
                  And that is in a currency that has kept it’s value.

                  So you original statement remains decidedly false.

                    Yeah, that’s a fair argument. The “through the roof” was more of a rhetorical(theres probably a better word I can use to describe it). Either way, my whole point was that the main, if not only, reason for the Ukraine/Russia conflict was to raise the stock price of our MIC, like the original Desert Storm was, which was what the “brave Ukrainian fighters” was in reference to.
