Putin says Russia’s conflict with Ukraine is ‘coming to an end’

Associated Press | May 11, 2026



Russian President Vladimir Putin said a U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Ukraine had emerged following discussions with the United States, following the Russian Ministry of Defense’s statement about the possibility of retaliatory attacks on Kyiv. During the discussion Moscow warned about potential security risks linked to diplomatic missions in Kyiv and asked Washington to help ensure the safety of its embassy.

    Putin’s in big trouble, He had to get permission from Zelenskyy for his parade this year and had to go crying to BFF Trump to get it. I wonder how he’ll fare next time. If Zelenskyy had wanted to attack it, it’d been a blood-bath parade and Putin’d been hiding the entire time. Russia’s now been retreating for 2 months. I expect this will accelerate until they’re out of Ukrainian territory.

    Recently Putin has been sending hidden signals that he wants to stop (together with a lot of posturing). Aside from Ukraine Putin has to contend with an increasing internal dissatisfaction feedback loop that results in tighter security, an economic depression, a population in decline, and a slew of other problems. Putin has a small window opportunity to stop this war before a multidimensional vortex of trouble hits him.

    Putin’s real threat has never been an attack from NATO or the EU but rather the spread of Western-style democracy and "color revolutions" in neighboring states that could spread into Russia. NATO/EU membership often goes hand-in-hand with EU integration, democratic reforms, improved standard of living, and limiting governmental corruption which threaten the Kremlin's model of governance.

    Once the war machine is activated, it’s hard to turn off. People’s lives and livelihoods become dependent on it. Greed stiffens it further. Some people would rather die than see the war machine cease.

    Obviously, not a word Putin speaks can be trusted. He’s made this statement to appease the Russian populous, and Russian power brokers who might unseat him for the evermore unpopular war of his choice. His true goal is unchanged. He wants to recover the Soviet empire.

    The Russo Ukrainian War, Putin has failed, he should step down now! On the economic level, Putin has caused trillions of dollars in losses for Russia! On a military level, Putin caused extensive damage to the Russian tank corps! The population loss is as high as hundreds of thousands of Russian people have died! The era of Putin should come to an end!
