Meeting Putin - Zelensky is unrealistic because Putin refused such a meeting...

[Viktor Kovalenko @MrKovalenko]

BREAKING. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky nullified the President Trump's push for the next round of peace negotiations with Russia under the US mediation. This is planned in Abu Dhabi for early November. On Ukrainian TV, Zelensky just said the next:
💥NO to limits on Ukrainian army (it's now 1,3 million)
💥NO to Ukraine's neutrality
💥NO to territorial discussions --it's only a topic for discussion between him and Putin (their personal meeting is unrealistic).

There has been zero chance for peace under International Law. It would mean Putin to withdraw from alle of the Ukraine. As borders of Ukraine were guaranteed by the Memorandom of Budapest.
But hee, who gives a shit about International Law when you can make a deal for yourself.

Zelensky’s Masterclass: How to Sabotage 1,001 Chances for Peace

The peace talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi haven't even begun, and Zelensky is already hard at work sabotaging them.

Once again, he’s playing the NATO card — as if anyone were actually standing in line to welcome Ukraine into the alliance.

Over and over again, he goes out of his way to poke the Russian bear with the very issue that gets under Moscow’s skin the most — and that became one of the triggers of this war.

Even Poroshenko and his European Solidarity party seem to have quietly dropped their NATO obsession. Zaluzhnyi, at least, has enough brains to stop waving NATO membership around as some sacred political goal.

But not Zelensky.
Oh, no. For him, sheer chutzpah isn't just a character trait — it's practically a governing philosophy.

At this point, he really ought to write a book:

"How to Sabotage 1,001 Chances for Peace — and Still Blame Everyone Else."

A tragicomedy in endless chapters. No happy ending guaranteed. And, as always, the Ukrainian people get stuck with the bill.

Fake News

[Berliner Zeitung @berlinerzeitung]

Laut Financial Times bot Putin Anfang 2023 einen weitgehenden Truppenabzug an. Selenskyj lehnte ab. Ein ukrainischer Abgeordneter liefert nun brisante Details. https://t.co/ZNY271TA5a

Under International Law Russia was not giving up anything, Ukraine was

[Oleksiy Goncharenko @GoncharenkoUa]

I confirm the 2023 peace-treaty plan that was leaked to the FT.

What the draft envisaged:

- Russia withdraws its troops from most of the four oblasts it had just declared “annexed.”
- The new line of demarcation runs roughly along the line as of February 24, 2022: Crimea and the part of Donbas that Russia controlled before the full-scale invasion.
- Ukraine recognizes Russian control over Crimea.
- Ukraine grants Russia an unobstructed land corridor to Crimea.
- The ceasefire regime is guaranteed by NATO countries that provide protection for Ukraine.
- Russia begins negotiations with the US on its own security guarantees.

From my side, I’ll add a few insider details that few people know about.

The plan was discussed NOT ONLY by Rodnyansky: the key figure was ABRAMOVICH.

Moreover, Russia was ready to give up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as well. And the 300 billion in frozen assets was to go toward rebuilding all of Ukraine, that is, together with the occupied territories.

As for Crimea: we were not required to recognize it as Russian, only to recognize Russia’s control over it. In other words, we acknowledge that right now it is under Russian control (which is how it is). We were also required to adopt a law banning the return of Crimea by military means.

The land corridor to Crimea, a highway and a railway, was to be built at Russia’s expense. The hardest question was how to guard it. That is why the Russians were ready to give up Melitopol, but not Tokmak: they feared we would cut the corridor with artillery.

Zelensky rejected this proposal at the time.

What about the costs of living for the American people? What about gasprices? Affordable housing? Healthcare? Education? What about not starting war? Or full disclosure of Epstein files? Just asking.

[Eric Trump @Eric_trump1112]

We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE.

He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

Трамп боится того, о чем говорит Обама: «Единственное, на чём сосредоточен нынешний президент, помимо улучшения жилья, — это обогащение себя, своей семьи и своих прихлебателей... у нас есть американский посол, который вымогает у донора деньги, чтобы оплатить её кредитные счета. Мы узнали, что венесуэльский миллиардер хотел помилования, поэтому заплатил одному из юристов Трампа 50 миллионов долларов».
Трамп знает: потеря контроля над Конгрессом обернется для него и его окружения чередой расследований, которые могут привести его самого и всю администрацию на скамью подсудимых. А как весело журнала крипта! Как шелестели миллиарды в карманах! Хорошо погуляли по гипермаркету. Но тут наткнулись на кассу, где уже печатается итоговый чек. И его сумма обещает быть впечатляющей.

It is because he can make deals with Putin favourable to him, to his family, to his billionaire friends and than, maybe, to the USA. Such deals are not possible with his European "allies".

[Vatnik Soup @vatniksoup]

The US is willing to betray its closest allies in Europe, a market of 450 million people and an economy worth nearly $20 trillion, just to cut shady, corrupt deals with Putin's Russia, an economy roughly the size of Italy's.

What an absolutely insane foreign policy.

[DBerber 🇺🇦 @Berber_Doris_]

Wer vor laufenden Kameras behauptet, besetzte Landstriche seien „historisches ruzzisches 🇷🇺 Territorium“ und Scheinreferenden unter Mündungsfeuer seien gelebte Demokratie, betreibt keine Geopolitik. Das ist Geschichtsfälschung eines Machtpolitikers und Kriegsverbrechers, der raubgierige Landnahme als historischen Heimhol-Akt verkauft.
Wenn wir anfangen, Staatsgrenzen nach beliebigen Epochen neu zu ziehen, steht auf diesem Kontinent kein einziger Grenzstein mehr sicher. Nach genau dieser verqueren Logik müsste Moskau morgen Kaliningrad abtreten, Finnland 🇫🇮 könnte Anspruch auf Vyborg erheben und die halbe Landkarte Europas 🇪🇺 müsste neu gezeichnet werden.
Die Fakten sprechen eine andere Sprache: Ruzzland hat die Unabhängigkeit und die Grenzen der Ukraine 🇺🇦 1991 und 1994 eigenhändig in völkerrechtlichen Verträgen garantiert. Wer diese Abkommen bricht, sobald der eigenen Armee danach ist, macht jedes Wort wertlos.
Und von welchen „Abstimmungen“ ist hier eigentlich die Rede? Ein Scheinreferendum unter dem Stiefel einer Besatzungsmacht – ohne unabhängige Beobachter, ohne freie Presse, während Millionen auf der Flucht sind – ist kein Wahlzettel, sondern nackte Erpressung.
Dass dieses Schmuckstück an verdrehter Logik überhaupt noch unhinterfragt funktioniert, ist kein Zufall. Es ist der perfekte Köder für eine Armee aus nützlichen Idioten, Kreml-Trollen und Berufs-Verstehern, die gierig jede noch so abstruse Ausrede schlucken, solange sie das eigene Weltbild bedient.

[zharynka @tak_ya_anna]

Let me make something absolutely clear.

Ukraine did not invade Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine.

Ukrainians are not fighting because Europeans want an endless war. We are fighting because Russia continues to attack our cities, occupy our territory, and kill our people.

I woke up at 6 AM today because of a Russian drone attack near my home in Kyiv.

And now I am reading accusations that those helping us defend ourselves are the ones prolonging this war.

Do you understand how profoundly dishonest that argument is?

If you genuinely want peace, explain how you intend to stop Russian aggression without stripping Ukrainians of their right to defend themselves.

Peace is not the same as surrender.

And demanding accountability from Russia is not warmongering.

Stop blaming those resisting aggression for the aggression itself.

[Eric Groothuis, Jubilado con Beneficios @LeanManProf]

Het heeft dagen geduurd voordat Musk dit verhaaltje had verzonnen. Alsof hij de afgelopen jaren niet heeft geweten waar Ukraine het systeem voor gebruikte. Overigens betaalt Polen voor het gebruik door Ukraine (ongeveer 100 miljoen dollar)

[Mattias Albinsson @mattiasreporter]

Det står nu ganska klart att Ukraina ljög om Starlink.

Starlink har hela tiden varit ett civilt system, och får inte användas i exempelvis drönare. Därför slutar en terminal fungera över 100 miles/h.

Ukraina hackade emellertid terminalerna för att kringgå den begränsningen.

Money is provided by Europeans and others. You already did not spend billions of dollars. Were have these dollars gone to? Lower taxes? Affordable houses? Free healthcare?

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Elon Musk wants peace.

Zelensky wants money and war.

[Eric Groothuis, Jubilado con Beneficios @LeanManProf]

Proof? Any reliable document? Or just saying,?

[Zane @zanealb04]

Zelensky was installed by Obama, Clinton, Nuland and that bunch to protect their hundred billion dollar racket in Ukraine and escalate the Deep State proxy war against Russia. Trump should remove the Obama/Clinton puppet in Kiev. That's a regime change I can get behind.

[Eric Groothuis, Jubilado con Beneficios @LeanManProf]

Always ask yourself, who was the agressor again?

[Russian Army @RussianSpoof]

Zelensky - I will not give Russia even an inch of Ukrainian territory, and I will never bow down to Russia.

Putin - Then the war will continue, and you alone will be responsible for Ukraine’s destruction.

Zelensky - If the war continues, then so be it. We are ready to fight.

Putin - Then so be it. The consequences of this war will be devastating for Ukraine.

[Eric Groothuis, Jubilado con Beneficios @LeanManProf]

And why is he trustworthy?

[Richard @ricwe123]

So here we have this former Russian ambassador explaining how the Donbass war began.

There was a coup d’état in Kyiv in 2014, financed by the US.

The new installed regime banned the Russian language, and the population of Crimea voted in a referendum for their independence against the ban on their native language.

Kyiv then intervened militarily in Donbass in 2014, which triggered the war.
The Minsk agreements then followed. Russia finally intervened in 2022 because there was no other solution to protect its compatriots in Donbass, who had been attacked for 8 years.

[Eric Groothuis, Jubilado con Beneficios @LeanManProf]

America was fully aware of the military use. And Poland is paying more than 100 million dollar for this use by Ukraine.

[Zane @zanealb04]

Cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink completely. That will hasten the end of the war and stop the bloodshed. It is time. Ukraine can't win. The Russians aren't leaving. Any further death is senseless. Ukraine needs to sign the surrender document and then rebuild their rump state.

[Eric Groothuis, Jubilado con Beneficios @LeanManProf]

Which is because Russia is waging his war against civilians (living quarters, hospitals, schools, etc.) Really civilized, and the American administration is supporting that.

[Sprinter Press @Sprinter_Press]

Kyiv is preparing for the harshest winter in the past five years, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Some residents are leaving the Ukrainian capital due to problems with the energy infrastructure. Power outages have become commonplace, and disruptions to water supply occasionally affect the city.

Well done, Zelensky! You have to really try to lie the people so much!
