1. in writing? What a sick joke.

[elleng]

2. Many of us don't believe they will open 'humanitarian corridors.'

Also, there are rumors that some in govt thinking of removing you know who.

6. ...

3. I can't figure out how Russia expects concessions

Seriously?
Ukraine wants to be left alone. Putin is a war criminal. The only concession I can see is for Russia to demand Putin step down.

4. Yeah, just like Patooie said he won't invade Ukraine.

Probably wants the written response just to track the custody trail of official documents.

5. "Fuck you, Putin. Fuck you!!!!!"

That is my automatic cheer that I chant whenever I hear anything about that murderer.

7. A written lie, then.

[Bettie]

8. So, he wants a written surrender from a city to open 'humanitarian corridors'

so that he'll know where the people are to more easily kill them. FFS.

[PortTack]

9. Yeah they will! they will be whisked away to russia, never to be seen or heard from again

[Hekate]

10. Russia opened humanitarian corridors before: straight into Russia. Others they just bombed. nt

[Lithos]

11. Russia is already obligated by International Law to open these up

Without any stipulations. This is pure grandstanding on their part.
