    Maybe the end is near.

    Reported by Ukrainian outlet strana

    Below is a further breakdown on the alleged leaked plan...


    Zelensky reportedly died not agree, not that it matters much.


    * * *

    Ceasefire by Easter:

    NATO Membership: Ukraine would be barred from joining NATO under the plan.

    Territorial Concessions: Kyiv would recognize Russian sovereignty over annexed lands and withdraw troops from Kursk.

    Demilitarized Zone: European, possibly British, troops would police it; no U.S. involvement.

    Reconstruction: EU assistance sought for Ukraine, estimated at $486 billion over a decade.

    Timeline:

    1) Early February: Zelensky-Putin phone call.

    2) Late February to early March: Leaders' meeting.

    3) April 20: Ceasefire declaration.

    4) By May 9: Agreement terms released, no further martial law or mobilization.

    5) Additional Support: Continued U.S. military aid for Ukraine, with a pathway to EU membership by 2030.

    lol, Rod presenting false rumors. That's so Rod.

    On Feb 5, 2025, President Trump's Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia Gen. Keith Kellogg described the next steps in the administration's plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war:

    "There's a report out from a news network that says that we're going to present a peace plan next week [at the Munich Security Conference]. No, we're not... The person who's going to present the peace plan is the president of the United States."

    "We're going to have great discussions with senior leaders in the European environment and bring back what we found out to the president of the United States and then go from there."

    Always safe to say rod is parroting russian talking points, pretty much without fail. Doubtful he'll ever be able to reflect on that

    Right, we'll see how this unravels, but i believe peace will be along these lines, certainly never NATO for Ukraine.

    Ukraine

    This is a perfect example of why Ukraine should join NATO if they choose to.

    Right, after losing part of the country to Russia, it would be crazy for them to join an alliance that will resist future incursions.

    That's not of they should join NATO or not , it's because us or eu will not allow it.

    You guys are looking at the morality of Russia attacking Ukraine, and i agree it's a valid point.
    I'm just looking at the reality on the front, where Ukraine is losing and needs to negotiate a peace

    It's going to be called the greatest pact since 1939. The Trump Putin Pact.

    And they want " mutual visits to the other country to foster relations and stop the suffering of millions".

    I hope we ( Germany er AL.) and the rest of the EU listen to France and form the European Army. And I'm not sure we should buy those F35s anymore with a built in backdoor shut down switch?

    Europeans need to keep a close eye on American force posture in Europe. Hegseth says no plans to cut, but that should not be taken for granted. Even before Trump, the United States has been shifting its emphasis towards the Indo-Pacific. I posted a talk two years ago about how Europe needs to wake up to American disinterest and get serious about defeating Russia. Ukraine can still defeat Putin with European assistance. British general Sir Richard Barrons explains how at a forum in Lucerne, Switzerland: "Do not tell me its unaffordable, because you represent an economy of 15 trillion euros a year. Give me 75 billion euros a year for 2-3 years and I will make the Ukrainian army win."

    Shirley there's no connection between the sudden release of Russian US hostages and this perfect phone call.

    Sounds like the Europeans aren't blindly going along with American surrender to the enemy. They're demanding seats at the "peace" talks for themselves and Ukraine.

    Hopefully Europe steps up when Trump surrenders. Ukraine is still willing to fight for their freedom and would rather be at war than be subjugated / enslaved under Russia.

    I don't think Europe has any choice but to step up. Trump and Hegseth made it clear that even our oldest and best allies in Europe can't depend on our promises or security agreements anymore. No nation should take us at our word anymore because, sadly, Trumps word is our word now and his hasn't ever been worth much. And it will all make the world a less safe place.

    "Candor is clarifying. If you’re a liberal regime with the misfortune to have an authoritarian predator as a neighbor, you’ve received what’s tantamount to official notice from Washington that you should begin building nuclear weapons post haste. We’ll know that the hard truth about the end of the Pax Americana has finally sunk in if news starts trickling out this year that various U.S. allies—Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Japan, South Korea, uh, Canada—are developing nuclear bombs and the requisite delivery systems to keep the wolf at their door away.

    When the world’s policeman walks off the beat, the only way to protect yourself is to grab the biggest gun you can find and prepare to shoot to kill."

    Trading on Moscow’s stock exchange has been suspended. The Russian economy is teetering. One more reason, in addition to so many more like upholding nuclear nonproliferation discussed above, why no president needs to, or should, surrender to America's arch enemy.

    With that in mind, Hegseth walked back his statement yesterday that a negotiated settlement is not likely to end with Ukraine in NATO saying, "These negotiations are led by Donald Trump. Everything is on the table. In his conversations with Vladimir Putin and Zelensky, what he decides to allow or not allow, is at the purview of the leader of the free world--President Trump. So I'm not going to stand at this podium and declare what President Trump will do or won't do, what will be in or what will be out, what concessions will be made or what concessions are not made."

    Interesting to know the behind the scenes that resulted in that walk back
