⚡️Putin issued a WILD ULTIMATUM to Zelenskyy! Lavrov let slip. Unexpected about talks in US - War & Politics 24
TV Host Maxym Krapivnyy and Doctor Thomas Graham, Distinguished Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, discussed recent threatening statements from Peskov and Lavrov, as well as the prospects for a possible compromise between Moscow and Kyiv. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Russia has set a deadline and conveyed it to the United States.
The Kremlin allegedly aims to occupy all of Donbas within two months, giving Ukraine that timeframe to withdraw its troops—otherwise, Moscow would seize the region and impose new conditions to end the war. Do you see this as a bluff or a real threat? - 04/17/2026.
