Putin shows 'draft peace agreement' with Ukraine to African leaders in meeting

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday (June 17) interrupted opening remarks by African leaders seeking to mediate in the Ukraine conflict to deliver a list of reasons why he believed many of their proposals were misguided.

Putin first welcomed leaders from Senegal, Egypt, Zambia, Uganda, Congo Republic, Comoros and South Africa to the 18th-Century Konstantinovsky Palace on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, stressing Russia's commitment to the continent.

But after presentations from the Comoran, Senegalese and South African leaders, he stepped in to challenge the assumptions of the plan before the round of comments from all the representatives could go any further.

"withdrew from Kiev" lol, like how the Moskva withdrew from the surface of the ocean

[edwardkennedy]

I wonder if he showed the Budapest Memorandum and the Russian–Ukrainian Friendship Treaty? Probably not, because he wiped his ass with those agreements that he does not like.

[pingjuaneza]

You withdrew your troops from kyiv not because of an agreement. But because you were getting pounded left and right on that 40 mile convoy running out of fuel and ammunitions

[dvvinever]

Be weary of war makers and tyrants speaking of peace while arresting their own citizens for doing the same.

[scudrunner]

They didn’t withdraw the troops, they retreated.

Putin shows draft agreement to the world: 🖕

[roamingranger]

Ukraine does not need an agreement with Putin, Russian troops just get out of Ukraine it is so simple! Africa again playing a double sided sword (own interest).

[concernednewfie]

Oh looky, the war criminal has proposed a peace plan for the war they started.

[JLMoto]

Special military operation: let me see your war face.
Russia: 🤡

[sangtonsing]

"Drew our troops from Kyiv" 🤣🤣🤣Did his general not tell him the truth

[fasx]

The fact that the Leaders of the African countries have not condemned Russia outright tells all we need to know about their moral character.

[angeloangeloqquiambao]

This evil man's days are numbered.

[anthonybernstein]

How can you tell when Putin is lying? His lips are moving.

[nbgoodiscore]

"The agreedment of permanent neutrality and safety guarantees" He really read it out loud lmao

[craigrees]

This guy 😂😂😂. Now they withdrew from Kiev? I hope the African delegation gives Putin a tissue to wipe that bull sheet away from his mouth!!

[davidfoster]

Withdraw their military from all of the Ukrainian sovereign land and pay reparations and an agreement can be considered.

[leonardgrant]

This old guy is lying like crazy, I am not sure if he can even tell the difference between the truth and lies anymore. Slava Ukraine.

[coldheartriddim]

It is hard to believe a pathological liar even when they swear they are telling the truth.

[NataliVeronicaGermanotta]

Won't Help!

"REAP WHAT YOU'VE SOWN"

[portwest]

The agreement states they must give up their territory etc. Of course they aren't going to agree to that
