Potential comprehensive peace talks are planned with Russia, Ukraine, and various other state actors. According to the German state TV channel ARD, they could occur as soon as July.
Jake Sullivan and Victoria Nuland plan to lead a diplomatic offensive on behalf of Ukraine. Knowing those two will be involved gives it no chance of success.
Why would Russia negotiate with them? They are trying to topple his government.
Despite what the media tells you, Ukraine is not winning the war. Their people are dying in record numbers, and our foreign policy on their behalf is a complete failure. Russia is closer to China than ever, forming a dangerous coalition against us.
Last Thursday, the Financial Times reported that Sullivan and high-ranking State Department official Victoria Nuland would head a “diplomatic offensive” at Ukraine’s request. Their purported objective was to convince the ‘Global South powers to scale back their relations with Russia.
They want the “neutral” BRICS nations like China, India, Brazil, and South Africa to join the U.S. effort.
That was a failure out of the box. Pursuing it makes us look ridiculous.
Meanwhile, taking to Facebook on Sunday, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Aleksey Danilov, wrote that he would not rule out Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s participation in future peace talks involving Russia.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, for his part, on Thursday urged both Kiev and Moscow to compromise and engage in peace negotiations. He also suggested that parties not involved in the ongoing conflict would be best suited to mediate between the two belligerents.
Russia said they are willing to engage in peace talks with no conditions. Zelensky said Russia has to first withdraw from all Ukrainian lands they occupy. That won’t happen.
We need peace. The price is too high if this continues. Ria Novosti, a Kremlin outlet, warns of nuclear war.

“Why would Russia negotiate with them? They are trying to topple his government.”
Russia is in a strong position to dictate terms, whether the collective West comprehends this or not. If the collective West does not like Russia’s terms, Russia will just go fighting … not, for now, to “win,” but just enough to keep grinding down both the Ukraine military and the supply of weaponry the US keeps sending to this non-NATO, non-EU corruptocrat country.
The US is fighting Russia via its crippled idea of a proxy war (sending the equipment to the Ukraine military to fight for them). Russia, meanwhile, is fighting a war of attrition. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who’s way out front in this conflict, and who is going to keep getting further and further out front.
Is this suppose to be “peace talks” in accordance with Zelensky. I doubt Russia would stand for that, and the residents of Donbass are certainly against returning to Ukraine.
I think the intention here is a political show so that Biden and his NWO crooks can pretend that they are working for peace while they sabotage the negotiations.
They sabotaged the negotiations in April 2022, after an agreement was signed. The agreement has been made public by Putin this week. No one in the west has denied its existence.
