AP---you need to finally bury your negotiations concept---this is a perfect example of what is being fed to the Russian population 24X7 since actually before the Crimea.

And you really think Putin is going to negotiate when his own population blames the west and the Ukraine and give him this week even higher poll numbers.

A snow balls chance in the after life of him negotiating over the "New Russia" that he himself called into existence in several of his key speeches if it means him losing face and his mercenaries laying down their arms as that signals a military defeat and Russia cannot under Putin suffer a military defeat.
