The offer of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Ukrainian troops in the Kursk area to lay down the weapons is still valid, “but the time holds”, The spokesperson of the Kremlin told Tass Dmitry Peskov.
The proposal made yesterday by Putin to save the Ukrainian soldiers who will hold the weapons in the Kursk “is still valid,” said Peskov, who then mentioned a novel by Honorè de Balzac to say that “their time is shrinking as a zigrine skin”.
In the novel the protagonist has a piece of magical skin that fulfills every desire but decreasing its size every time until it disappears, and at his death.
