over and done with, soon....

The Ukraine conflict could end in two months of Kiev is deprived of the money and ammunition it depends on to continue fighting, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.

Speaking to reporter Pavel Zarubin on Tuesday, Putin was asked about the possibility of a negotiated end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“They can’t exist without their Western sponsors. They won’t last a month if the money and ammunition run out,”Putin told Zarubin.

“Everything can be over in a month and a half to two months. Ukraine practically has no sovereignty, in that sense,” the Russian president added.

According to Putin, if Kiev’s western backers truly want peace, “this is very easy to do,” adding that Moscow has already spelled out its terms very clearly.

Kiev can signal its willingness to talk by canceling the decree banning all negotiations with Russia, Putin said. He explained that without such a step, any proposed negotiations would be as illegitimate as Vladimir Zelensky, whose presidential mandate expired last spring.

The US and other backers of Ukraine have channeled more than $200 billion in aid to Kiev, ranging from weapons, equipment, and ammunition, to cash payments for the salaries of government employees and pensions. The Kremlin has pointed to this support as making the West “de facto a party to the conflict,” which both Washington and Brussels have officially denied.

John Mearsheimer: PUTIN Peace Can Only Happen On My Terms

 

This presentation is a comparative analysis of statements from key political figures regarding the Ukraine-Russia conflict, focusing on Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Donald Trump.

The discussion begins with Putin’s perspective, emphasizing his stance on Ukraine’s negotiations. Putin argues that Zelenskyy, whose presidency he considers illegitimate due to an extended term, lacks the authority to sign binding agreements. He demands legally solid commitments from Ukraine and Western nations, particularly concerning Ukraine’s non-membership in NATO and its demilitarization. The speakers suggest that Russia sees negotiations as a legal trap and prefers to resolve the conflict militarily rather than trust an uncertain agreement.

The conversation shifts to Trump, analyzing his vague statements on ending the war. Trump has not provided a concrete peace plan but suggests that he could bring both sides to the table. However, his administration is reportedly delaying aid to Ukraine, leading to uncertainty about future U.S. support. The analysis questions whether Trump fully grasps the complexities of the situation, noting that many in his administration have an unrealistic perception of Russian weakness.

Zelenskyy, on the other hand, asserts that Putin fears Trump due to his "just and fair" rhetoric. The analysis strongly refutes this claim, arguing that Putin has no reason to fear Trump, given that the U.S. has exhausted its economic sanctions and military support options. The discussion highlights that Russia is currently gaining ground on the battlefield, making negotiations less urgent for Moscow.

The overall conclusion is that Russia is likely to continue fighting rather than negotiate, as Ukraine’s position weakens. The presence of Trump in the White House might accelerate Ukraine’s decline if U.S. support dwindles. The presentation suggests that the outcome will be a Russian victory, albeit a costly and "ugly" one, with Ukraine in dire straits and the West unable to shift the battlefield dynamics.

on its terms....

 

Trump offers Putin a way back in from the cold

(this is a LOADED HEADLINE. BBC SHOULD BE ASHAMED.... PUTIN HAS NEVER BEEN IN "THE COLD" AROUND THE WORLD.  HE ONLY HAS BEEN CHASTISE BY A BUNCH OF MEGALOMANIAC HYPOCRITES IN THE WESTERN WORLD. PUTIN HAS HISTORY ON HIS SIDE.)

Steve Rosenberg, in Moscow

 

A single phone call will not magically end the war in Ukraine.

Talks may now get under way. Exactly when and how they will conclude isn't clear.

But President Vladimir Putin has already scored something of a diplomatic victory simply by holding this telephone conversation.

After all, three years ago he was out in the political wilderness.

Putin's decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine had turned him into a pariah. 

The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution condemning Russia for its "unlawful use of force against Ukraine." 

Russia was hit by thousands of international sanctions. The following year the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the Kremlin leader.

As for the President of the United States – then Joe Biden – he left no doubt of what he thought of his Russian counterpart, condemning Putin as a "murderous dictator" and a "pure thug". 

After Russia launched its large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, there were no more telephone calls between Putin and Biden.

Fast forward to 2025. 

A change of president has brought a change of style, a change of language – and a totally different US approach to Russia. 

Trump says he wants to "work together, very closely" with Putin to end the war in Ukraine. He hopes they will be "visiting each other's nations".

Clearly, so does Vladimir Putin, who invited Trump to Moscow. 

If that visit goes ahead, it will signify a major shift in US-Russian relations. An American president has not visited Russia for more than a decade.

In many ways Putin has already got what he wants - the chance to negotiate directly with the United States on Ukraine, possibly over the heads of Kyiv and Europe - as well as the opportunity to put himself at the top table of international politics.

It remains unclear, though, how far Putin will be willing to compromise. 

Russian officials claim Moscow is ready for talks but always refer back to Putin's so-called peace proposal of June 2024, which reads more like an ultimatum. 

Under that plan Russia would get to keep all the Ukrainian territory it has seized, plus some more land still under Ukrainian control.

On top of that, Ukraine would not be allowed to join Nato and western sanctions against Russia would be scrapped.

As one Russian newspaper put it earlier this week: "Russia is ready for talks. But on its terms. 

"If you drop the diplomatic language, essentially that is called an ultimatum."
