“We are ready to sit at the negotiation table tomorrow,” said Putin…

The Russian proposal is/was a generous offering considering the realities and Putin clarified this is the best offer Kiev is going to get and on Western acceptance of this offer hangs future Ukrainian existence…

Lot of rain yesterday upon NATO and Cronies…

and…

“Today, we made another specific, real peace proposal. If Kiev and the Western capitals refuse it, as they have previously, then ultimately, it is their matter, their political and moral responsibility for the continuation of bloodshed,” the Putin said…

and…

“I stress: the entire territory of those regions as defined by their administrative borders at the time they joined Ukraine [in August 1991],” Putin stated…

and…

“Our side will order a ceasefire and start negotiations the minute Kiev declares that it is prepared to take this decision and starts actual withdrawal of troops from those regions, and also formally informs us that it no longer plans to join NATO,” Putin said…

and…

“In the future, all those basic principled positions have to be enshrined in fundamental international agreements. Naturally, that includes the lifting of all Western sanctions against Russia,” Putin stated…

Hmm…

The Green T-shirted Zelensky is irrelevant, as Russia has made clear by his own actions, just like the G7 has done to itself and anyone whom matters does not care…

What matters most is that Putin just provided the Hegemonic Satanist with an escape route.

A pretty sly maneuver…

It’s already over for the myth that “Russia does not want peace.”

Green T-shirt can be thrown under the bus by the Hegemonic whenever it pleases. But the deal is still in place: peace on Russia’s terms, contingent on victory over NATO in the theater of operations.

Putin’s announcement of terms to end the war, which he knows will be rejected out of hand, along with his declaration to the west that he intends to bite off more territory before he is done, only helps to TEMPT Washington and NATO into doing something crazy now at this moment or keeping their peace for all eternity. In actuality, it’s a cunning and enjoyable gambit. He competes against amateurs and military posers across the West, making sure that the Russian general staff is prepared for any rash move they make with a deadly counterattack…

A great master playing chess for all the marbles…

and a checker player came forward…

Jens Stoltenberg stresses that the Russians should withdraw their forces from the occupied parts of Ukraine.

“It’s not for Ukraine to withdraw forces from Ukrainian territory. It’s for Russia to withdraw their forces from occupied Ukrainian land,” he said.

“This is a proposal of more aggression, more occupation. And it demonstrates in a way that Russia’s aim is to control Ukraine and that has been the purpose of Russia since the beginning of this war. And that’s a blatant violation of international law and that’s also the reason why NATO Allies continue to support Ukraine.”- he said, as translated by Interfax.

Why is NATO upset about a proposal for a ceasefire, haven’t we been told a infinite times that NATO is not at war in Ukraine?

Update: by Voloda at Duma…

The Swiss gathering on Ukraine, which is supposed to take place today, has lost its meaning.

Our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin yesterday proposed a formula for peace not only regarding the situation in Ukraine, but also in Europe as a whole:

📍 This is the neutral, non-bloc, nuclear-free status of Ukraine, as well as its demilitarization and denazification.

📍 The status of Crimea and Sevastopol, DPR and LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions as regions of the Russian Federation should be recorded in international treaties.

📍 Basic agreements for a peaceful settlement must be enshrined in international treaties. The lifting of sanctions against Russia should also be provided.

In this regard, the initiatives put forward by former Ukrainian President Zelensky and supported by Biden, Macron, Scholz, etc., lose all meaning.

Negotiations can only be conducted on behalf of citizens of their own country. But Zelensky’s term in office has ended, and that says it all.
Today, the only legitimate entity on the Ukrainian side is the Verkhovna Rada, and only it can participate in reaching any agreements.

It is right for Ukrainian deputies to begin discussing Putin’s proposals if they think about their citizens and want to preserve the state.

By the way, according to our information coming through the parliamentary line, some deputies of the Verkhovna Rada have already begun to do this.

The longer Ukrainian deputies hope that the United States and the European Union will solve all the issues for them, the fewer citizens of the country will remain, who are only expendable for Washington and Brussels, and the territory of Ukraine will shrink.

It’s time for them to realize: there is no president of Ukraine, responsibility lies with the Verkhovna Rada.
In such a situation, you cannot stand by.
