This is standard dictator behavior, giving up power for the benefit of their people.

Funny time to do it, once he's lost the war, had Ukrainians kidnapped straight onto the frontlines, and once negotiations are taking place without him (which might end with him in front of a jury).

But sure, y'all just keep fetishizing yet another western puppet who called off elections but did it "for the right reasons."

Do you support concession of the currently occupied territories?

Lmao. Might as well ask me if I condemn Hamas too. It doesn't matter what I support or don't support, what matters is what the people of the region support and have the ability to enforce. The DNR and LNR seceded after the US financed coup violated their democracy. Those territories were occupied from 2014 to 2022 by a US vassal, and you can tell by the endless patrols and bombing they endured.
