What a hilariously worthless statement given how many of his promises Putin has ever kept: Zero.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah right. And meanwhile he'll still be running the bot farms, relentless disinformation campaigns and killing people he doesn't like on foreign soil.
Respect is earned.
And 'hybrid warfare' anchor dragging across international telecom cables, etc, etc.
“I swear, this is our last imperialist incursion into another sovereignty if you respect us by giving us the land we encroached upon and other economic rewards for having done it. Pinky swear!”
Putin is on the back foot.
This isn't the first story that had me feeling the same. He's not flat out desperate yet, but the fall is inevitable.
As if Putler can be trusted.
In 2004 Putin said: We have settled all our border issues. What this amounts to is full and absolute recognition of and respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty, not only as concerns its land borders, but also its sea borders. Source: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/22661
Die already you murderous twat
Liar tells a lie.
What about "special military operations" which is what Putin was calling his invasion of Ukraine?
His words are worthless.
He also told us he wasn't invading Ukraine.
"I will not attack any countries after ~~Austria~~ Georgia and ~~Poland~~ Ukraine." I think I've heard this song before.
Yeah, as long as the world regularly respectfully cedes land, resources and slaves then russia won't go to war at all with anybody.
No more wars? But Ukraine isn't even a war. It's a special military operation. He needs to promise no more of those.
On 5 December 1994, at a ceremony in Budapest, Ukraine joined Belarus and Kazakhstan in giving up their nuclear arsenals in return for security guarantees from the United States, the UK, France, China and Russia.
This aged like fine milk.
I'd never show Putin what men like him believe respect to be. It's never short of complete submission.
Abusive Parenting 101
I'll take this into consideration if you withdraw to your own borders in the current war your started...
Lol no
But, Maldova, Poland, Estonia, <..and more> are really already part of Russia if you think about it. And Russia needs to protect it's borders, so if you have a border, abutting Russia, you're really already part of Russia. Mirroring the circular logic justification for Israeli settlements.
Also, Russia technically isn't at war right now either.
Bully tactics. Why are mental children in power everywhere currently?
Oh, well if you pinky promise. /s
I think the most interesting thing here is the trajectory of Russian demands. They've really moved closer and closer to an actually reasonable ask over the past few months. It makes me think they know exactly when they're going to run out of stuff.
You will respect me at the point of this gun.
Buddy, you're clearly angling for a takeover of Belarus openly. Try not to have your next target picked out when you make shit up about respect.
PTP (Putin or Trump Promises) = wipe your ass with it.
What a joke of a person. Wish he starts burning in hell yesterday.
Not trying to be funny, but I thought this was The Onion at first glance.
Just special military operations, obviously. Not wars. Wars are a bad thing.
And by "respect," he mans capitulation and servility.
I'm surprised he didn't demand thanks for the restraint Russia has exercised by not having defeated Ukraine yet.
Liar says what
then be respectable and hold legitimate elections you Nazi piece of shit.
"Trust me, bro!"
We did and you started wars. First end those wars and start acting more respectable.
So... give us what we want or we'll take it by force, in other words?
Just like he promised after stealing the Crimea in 2014?
Lol
lol
Respect the criminal.
Before the war, ordinary Russians were slowly getting fed up with Putin. As per the dictator's playbook, Putin is stoking the base tribalism of the citizens to distract them from his government's own corruption. The world respects Russia, it's only that the world doesn't respect him.
What about special military operations tho?
Why does his hands look like gloves made from a corpse
When did Pootin' become the evil Rodney Dangerfield?
