Putin’s Conditions for Peace Deal: Ukraine Gives Up Donbas, No NATO, and No Western Troops

(As I have said many times, Russia will settle for NATO remaining out of Ukraine and Donbass becomes part of Russia since they are why Putin got involved in this whole thing in the first place. And here we are. But Puppet Zelensky wont have it. Donbass left Ukraine on their own after our Nazi-backed coup in 2014 and have been bombed ever since by Kiev. Donbass will never go back to Ukraine just like Crimea wont. It is a good deal for Ukraine since they aren't really losing anything they hadn't already lost before Russia got involved. But it was always about baiting Russia into the conflict and so, they wont accept it.) 

from AntiWar

Reuters reported on Thursday that Russia’s demands for a peace deal in Ukraine include Ukrainian forces withdrawing from the Donbas, a guarantee that Ukraine won’t join NATO, and for Ukraine to keep Western troops out of the country.

Russian sources told Reuters that Putin had compromised on his initial conditions, which included the Ukrainian withdrawal from the territory in the southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. Under the current offer, Russia is willing to freeze the lines there and also return small amounts of territory it controls in Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk.

For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly rejected the idea of ceding the territory Ukrainian forces still control in the Donbas, and European leaders appear to be backing his position.

When it comes to NATO, the Reuters report said that Moscow is seeking a legally binding pledge from the alliance that it wouldn’t move further eastwards. A guarantee that Ukraine wouldn’t join NATO was one of Russia’s main demands to avoid the invasion, but the Biden administration refused to engage on the issue...

Trump's Peace Accord Meeting Today: Will TDS of the Left Derail it?

by Scott Creighton

This afternoon, President Trump will be meeting with President Zelensky (his term ended a while ago and refuses to allow fresh elections meaning... like Benjamin Netanyahu, when the conflict is over, so is his political career... back to playing piano with his penis for laughs I guess)  regarding Trump's recent talk with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

Also attending the meeting remotely will be British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Needless too say this is a high level bit of diplomacy the Trump administration is about to pull off in pursuit of bringing the Ukraine/Russia war to an end.

As expected the fake alt-left has nothing positive too say about this potential war-ending maneuver. Were it ObamaGod doing this I am sure they would already be lining up to give him yet another Peace Prize especially since he didn't deserve the first one. Hell, even Google AI knows it, and Google AI is an idiot.

Obama has been at war for longer than any other president in US history. The secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Geir Lundestad, said in 2015 that awarding the prize to Obama failed to achieve what the committee hoped it would. "Even many of Obama's supporters believed that the prize was a mistake," he says. 

What does Trump hope to achieve with this effort? Well, that is simple, he wants a 'win'

Trump's acolytes are famous for uttering the phrase 'promises made promises kept' whenever the Glorious Leader does anything in direct contrast to what he promised in the run-up to the election.

He promised to end the Israel genocide quickly and yet has since the election done nothing but help it continue and even speculate about stealing Gaza for a Trump hotel.

Promises made, promises kept.

Putin-Trump summit ‘erased’ Western narratives – EU state’s leader

Zelensky to head to Washington 

Putin says it was a useful meeting 

from RT

The summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, in Alaska has challenged the West’s entrenched confrontational narratives regarding relations with Moscow, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has claimed.

In defiance of the EU’s prevailing approach, Fico halted Bratislava’s military aide to Kiev in October 2023, and has been a vocal critic of the bloc’s sanctions against Moscow, as well as suggestions that Ukraine join NATO.

In a video posted on Facebook on Saturday, Fico stated that the sheer fact that Putin and Trump had met in person was the “most important thing” about the summit in Anchorage on Friday.

“Politicians need to meet and show mutual respect, to talk and try to understand each other,” the Slovak prime minister argued.

He further claimed that the high-profile meeting had “rejected the black-and-white view of the military conflict in Ukraine” and essentially “erased a single mandatory opinion on the war.”

“We must speak equally about security guarantees both for Ukraine and for the Russian Federation,” taking into account the “historical roots” of the conflict, Fico emphasized...

The True Left Admits Trump/Putin Summit was NOT a Failure

Our leaders are supposed to meet with adversaries in order to work toward PEACE rather than just continue to appease the MIC with endless, mindless war. Trump's meeting with Putin may be a good start to that end but the fake alt-left is too busy hating him to remember what the left is supposed to stand for.

Trump Backs Putin’s Route for Talks, Dashing Ukraine’s Hopes for Swift Cease-Fire

(Tell me... what part of Trump's statement that they are seeking a peace deal as opposed to just another useless ceasefire is out of line? The ceasefire Zelensky wants is just an opportunity for him to beg for more money, skim part of it off the top and then retool his ragtag army for more casualties and more death on behalf of foreign interests. The long term peace deal Putin and Trump are seeking will put an end to the bloodshed and allow for the rebuilding of Ukraine. Tell me again Ben from Midas Touch how awful that plan is? If Biden proposed it, you would cream your pants the moment you heard it but since it was Trump your derangement syndrome kicks in and you call it appeasement. You and the fake left MSM that is.) 

from the New York Times

President Trump appeared on Saturday to split from Ukraine and key European allies after his summit with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, adopting Mr. Putin’s preference for pursuing a sweeping peace agreement instead of the urgent cease-fire Mr. Trump said he wanted before the meeting.

Doing so would give Russia an advantage in the talks, which are due to continue on Monday when President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine visits Mr. Trump at the White House. It breaks from a strategy Mr. Trump and European allies, as well as Mr. Zelensky, had agreed to before the U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska, and it provoked a chilly reception in Europe, where leaders have time and again seen Mr. Trump reverse positions on Ukraine after speaking with Mr. Putin.

Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social early on Saturday that spoke by phone to Mr. Zelensky and European leaders after his meeting with Mr. Putin. He said that “it was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up.”...

Trump Hails Alaska Summit as Perfect 10

(Midas Touch will tell you the meeting between Putin and Trump was a complete disaster with Trump being beaten and disheveled and running off stage...  once again... the truth is vastly different than the partisan click-bait neo-Nazi supporting bullshit Ben tells you.)

Michael von der Schulenburg: Alaska Meeting Was a "Game Changer" 

from Sputnik News

President Donald Trump revealed significant progress toward a Ukraine settlement while warning that Zelensky must "make a deal" in a pivotal Fox News interview following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. 

Trump emphasized that the ball is now in Ukraine’s court, stating Zelensky must confront the reality that he has a lot to lose by prolonging the conflict. 

The president advised Kiev to negotiate, citing Russia’s superior military and nuclear power as non-negotiable factors demanding pragmatism. 

"I think we've agreed on a lot and I can tell you the meeting was a very warm meeting. Between two very important countries. I think we're pretty close to it now look Ukraine has to agree to it. Maybe they'll say no because Biden handed out money like it was candy and Europe gave him a lot of money. We gave him $350 Billion. Europe gave him much less but still a lot $100 Billion" 

European nations were also urged to contribute to the settlement, with Trump noting a "fairly high probability" of success if all parties align.

He hinted at personally mediating future Putin-Zelensky talks, framing a resolution as a legacy achievement for both leaders.

Trmp Putin Summit Live Updates

by Scott Creighton 

 RT is posting live updates from the summit in Alaska between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Seems the MIC hired some crisis actors or a rent a crowd to hang around outside the base waving Ukrainian flags as if folks in America want desperately to see the war continue as long as possible. 

 Of course these pro-war ass-hats forget what started all of this.

 And they seem to forget who they stand with when they stand with Ukraine:

 

 

Ukraine must accept territorial losses to survive – NATO state’s president

from RT

Ukraine does not have enough strength to retake its former territories in the near term without devastating losses and must therefore prioritize survival as a state, Czech President Petr Pavel has said.

Pavel, a former NATO Military Committee chair and longtime supporter of Ukraine – who believes the country should join the US-led bloc even in its “temporary” borders – made the remarks in a BBC interview on Monday.

Ukraine, even with Western backing, is “not in a position to liberate occupied territories in a short time frame without a significant cost to lives,” the president said.

”We want them to survive as an independent sovereign country. If the cost is to accept that part of the territory will be temporarily occupied, then [so] be it,” he added, stressing that the West will never recognize any former Ukrainian region as Russian...

Trump to wield ‘sledgehammer’ against Russia – Lindsey Graham

(Neocon Lindsey Graham is ecstatic over TrumpyBear turning on Putin. It means more war and more money for himself. Of course, it will also mean higher prices and a lower standard of living for Americans, just like Trump's new tariff on Brazil, but warmonger Lindsey doesn't give a shit. War, war, war. That's what pays his bills and stuffs more money in his pockets.)

from RT

A sanctions bill currently in the Senate would give US President Donald Trump a “sledgehammer” to use against Russia and its trading partners, hawkish Senator Lindsey Graham has said.

Trump previously said he may impose additional sanctions if Russia-Ukraine negotiations fail to produce a ceasefire. He also accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of stalling the talks.

In an interview with CBS News aired on Sunday, Graham, who co-authored the bill with Democrat Richard Blumenthal, said Trump has “left the door open regarding Russia,” despite taking a hard line on other nations. “That door is about to close,” he warned.

“Dick and I have got 85 co-sponsors in the United States Senate for congressional sanctions with a sledgehammer available to President Trump to go after Putin’s economy, and all those countries who prop up the Putin war machine,” Graham said...

Trump’s Willingness to Arm Ukraine Puts Him Closer to Biden Approach

(In order to silence his critics after his Epstein cover-up, Trump has turned on Russia and joined the 'Putin bad' crowd. Just so happens that means he is selling weapons to Ukrainian Nazis again, making money for the MIC and backing the fascist regime over there. TrumpyBear got his mind right.) 

from New York Times

Nearly six months after his inauguration, when President Trump pledged he would measure his success by “the wars we end” and “the wars we never get into,” he is adopting an approach toward Russia that on the surface looks much like his predecessor’s: arming the Ukrainians to fight off an invasion.

Mr. Trump came to this point in a circular fashion, and if these past few months are any indication, there is reason to doubt he will stick with it.

A first test may come on Monday and Tuesday, when Mr. Trump meets at the White House with the secretary general of NATO, Mark Rutte, and is expected to formally announce new plans to route American arms to Kyiv through European allies. He also appears to be moving to embrace new sanctions European leaders are pushing to put more pressure on President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

The president is a late and very reluctant convert to the approach of trying to confront and isolate Mr. Putin...

Moscow blasts US redo of ‘Iraqi weapons of mass destruction’ stunt

from RT

Russia has condemned the United States for its airstrikes and missile attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them “irresponsible, provocative and dangerous,” and warning that they risk pushing the Middle East toward a large-scale war with potentially catastrophic nuclear consequences.

Speaking at an emergency session of the UN Security Council on Sunday, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia accused Washington of violating the UN Charter, international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

“The United States has opened a Pandora’s box, and no one knows what consequences may follow,” Nebenzia said, noting that by targeting IAEA-supervised nuclear sites, Washington has “once again demonstrated total disregard for the position of the international community.”...

Putin says Russia supports Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy amid US threats

from RT

Russian President Vladimir Putin has reaffirmed his country’s support for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s right to develop and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

In an interview with Sky News Arabia on Saturday, Putin asserted that Moscow supports Iran’s right to use nuclear energy peacefully and is prepared to provide the necessary assistance in this regard.

His remarks came amid the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic, backed by the United States, which came amid the Iran-US indirect nuclear negotiations.

The Trump administration in Washington has used the pretext of Iran’s nuclear energy program to threaten Iran and its leadership with military aggression.

Iran, while maintaining that its nuclear energy is peaceful and solely for energy purposes, has warned against American direct intervention in the Israeli terrorist aggression.

Russia has traditionally supported Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy and it has been involved in Bussher nuclear power plant, which is operated by Russia’s Rosatom.

Putin said the concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear program should be resolved through dialogue and mutual agreement, in a clear rejection of US war rhetoric...

Trump may visit Türkiye to attend Russia-Ukraine talks

U.S. President Donald Trump said he was thinking of attending the upcoming Russia-Ukraine discussions in Türkiye on Thursday.

"I was thinking about actually flying over there. There's a possibility of it, I guess, if I think things can happen," Trump told journalists at the White House before departing for a trip to the Middle East.

Trump also said he thinks President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would be a good host for the Ukraine-Russia talks.

Calling the upcoming Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Türkiye "very important," Trump said he thinks "good things can come out of that meeting."

"Thursday's meeting with Russia and Ukraine is very important," Trump said. "I was very insistent that the meeting take place."...

Zelensky openly threatening Victory Day terrorist attack – Moscow

(To appease the Nazis in Ukraine and across the Western World, Zelensky threatens to attack Russia as they celebrate the historic victory over... the Nazis. And yeah, he's on OUR SIDE. lol. What world)

from RT

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has openly threatened to target the Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9, according to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Russia has announced a unilateral three-day ceasefire next week to coincide with the celebration commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. Kiev has rebuked the move, instead demanding an immediate unconditional 30-day truce.

On Tuesday, Zelensky described targeting Russian “pressure points” to push the country “towards diplomacy” as he reiterated the ceasefire call.

“They are now concerned that their parade is in jeopardy and rightly so,” he remarked, referring to the event scheduled for May 9 in Red Square. “What they should worry about is that this war continues.”

Zakharova reacted on social media on Wednesday, asking what kind of truce Kiev can offer, given that the Zelensky government “is literally planning terrorist attacks on air.” She added that boasting about such intentions “is exactly what typical terrorists do.”...

Russia’s Unconditional Talks Offer Exposes Zelensky’s Diplomatic Machinations — Ex-Pentagon Analyst

from Sputnik (H/T Aletho News)

“The unconditional nature offered by Russia is smart, and it places the onus on Zelensky to come forward similarly — but because Zelensky cannot do this and remain in power, he increasingly appears weak and not interested in peace,” Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, retired US Air Force, told Sputnik.

"If this continues, US aid to Ukraine will dry up completely, including intelligence support — and Zelensky understands this, but politically he is in a vise. Because not to engage directly in the face of an unconditional peace talk is to sabotage the chance of peace for Ukraine," Kwiatkowski said.

Zelensky has previously stated that Ukraine will not engage in peace talks unless a ceasefire deal is first reached.

 

“The Ukrainian conditions are unrealistic given the balance of power between Russia and the NATO alliance over the case of Ukraine. But to save face among the remaining few Ukrainians who trust Zelensky and Zelensky’s own government backers who are driven by emotion rather than reality, to talk peace unconditionally is in fact very similar to an unconditional surrender,” Kwiatkowski added.

 

Vance Outlines U.S. Plan for Ukraine That Sharply Favors Russia

 (conflict map Ukraine)

(2014 Crimea referendum)

from the NYT

Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday called on Ukraine to accept an American peace proposal that closely mirrors longstanding Russian demands, including a “freeze” of territorial lines in the three-year war, acceptance of the annexation of Crimea by Russia and a prohibition on Ukraine becoming part of the NATO alliance.

It was the first time a U.S. official had publicly laid out a cease-fire deal in such stark terms and the comments appeared designed to increase pressure on Ukraine, which has long refused to accept Russia’s claims on its lands, particularly in Crimea.

Mr. Vance, speaking during a trip to India, said the United States would “walk away” from the peace process if both Ukraine and Russia refused to accept the American terms. But President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine was clearly the target.

“We’ve issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and it’s time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process,” Mr. Vance told reporters. “The only way to really stop the killing is for the armies to both put down their weapons, to freeze this thing and to get on with the business of actually building a better Russia and a better Ukraine.”

The vice president’s comments came just hours after Mr. Zelensky said his country will never accept Russia’s 2014 occupation of Crimea as legal, adding that doing so would violate Ukraine’s Constitution. He also said that Ukraine could not accept any prohibition against becoming part of NATO.

“There is nothing to talk about. This violates our Constitution. This is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine,” Mr. Zelensky told reporters in a news conference...

What Russia Wants to Bring Peace to Ukraine

Nazi Musk and DOGE claim to be rooting out corruption and fraud

Zelensky claimed to be rooting out corruption and fraud 

by Scott Creighton

While Zelensky made it perfectly clear he wants to continue with the war, we should ask ourselves what does Russia want? What is so outrageous about it?

 'Russia's demands were Ukraine's recognition of Russian-occupied Crimea, independence for separatist-controlled Luhansk and Donetsk, and "de-militarisation" and "de-Nazification". Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that while his country was ready for talks to resume, Russia's demands had not changed.'

Crimea held a referendum and voted by a massive majority to leave Ukraine and rejoin with Russia back in 2014.

'The official result from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was a 97 percent vote for integration of the region into the Russian Federation, with an 83 percent voter turnout, and from Sevastopol there was also a 97 percent vote for integration with Russia, with an 89 percent voter turnout.'

Since 2014 Ukraine has been bombing the people of Donbass because they want to separate from the neoliberal fascist state of Ukraine after Barack Obama's bloody coup. 

'The Ukrainian Army appears to have fired cluster munitions on several occasions into the heart of Donetsk, unleashing a weapon banned in much of the world into a rebel-held city with a peacetime population of more than one million, according to physical evidence and interviews with witnesses and victims.

Sites where rockets fell in the city on Oct. 2 and Oct. 5 showed clear signs that cluster munitions had been fired from the direction of army-held territory, where misfired artillery rockets still containing cluster bomblets were found by villagers in farm fields.' NYT 2014 

Of course Russia wants Ukraine to remain neutral and not become a member of NATO right alongside their border but more than that, they want them to get the Nazis out of their government. Who could blame Russia for not wanting nuclear armed Nazis right next door after what happened in WWII?
