Summary
The "peace plan" continues dominating the news feed. In this episode I look at the Z-vatnik take on it, how Putin has reacted to that non-document personally and a quite plausible conspiracy about this whole affair that's gaining traction in the Russian opposition circles. Also, bwah, I have to counter the doomsayers that consider that "all is lost" for Ukraine again.
