If I was Vladimir Putin here’s what I would announce in the international media…
“In a gesture of goodwill, Russia is ready to release 16,000 Ukrainian POWs so that they may return to their families… under the condition that the Ukrainian government signs a piece of paper for each POW that they will not be required to serve the military again for the next three years.”
The international community would expect Zelensky to immediately snap up such a generous proposal, but as we all know he is so hungry for more troops to throw in the trenches that he will screw up either by flatly rejecting the proposal or violating it!
Either way it’s a win-win for Russia as thousands of Ukrainian citizens would take to the streets protesting Zelensky’s folly that may lead to his downfall.
I forgot to mention that releasing so many POWs would not only be a huge international humanitarian PR win for Russia, but it would also be financially beneficial as it would relieve the Russian economy from the huge expense of feeding, clothing and guarding so many people.
