Kyiv wants to sabotage any peace initiatives. The regime only survives with forever war.

Everybody knows which side is lying. The "murderous dictator invading a sovereign country" side, of course.

66 days with no ceasefire.

That's why russia is demanding complete sanctions lifting and no real ceasefire, right? Ukraine was doing fine before murderous russians tried to kill it in 2022.

Another crude mischaractizeration:
The latest deal, according to the WH, as reported by the article, requires them to "help restore Russia’s access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, lower maritime insurance costs, and enhance access to ports and payment systems for such transactions."
For example, when this is fully implemented, the terms of the latest deal can be met (and not in reverse, as with the previous grain initiative).
In defense of the confusion by certain quarters, even Zelensky appears utterly confused as he contradicts the official WH statement, published in the article right after his contradictory remarks.

That’s not going to happen. If Trump agrees with this, his attempts at a peace deal are gone.

It’s becoming more clear that any deal made while Zelensky is still in office will be undermined by him.

Imagine being American and cheering for Vladimir Putin...

Nobody said it would be smooth sailing to end a now 11year old conflict, as Russia takes more territory daily as Ukraine crumbles and their global support diminishes.
People around the world are cheering for Peace, that's what majority voters in all countries want, Peace.
US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has a tough job, watch his recent interview on Tucker Carlson to learn more. The media narrative is far from the truth, Witkoff has access to all the information, takes two to tango etc.

Step by step the Trump administration is getting closer to delivering promised ceasefire despite great many hurdles. Not an easy process but it looks promising, especially when compared to the previous administration.

JJE,

Perhaps Zelenskyy and his clonie are afraid of free and fair elections. Military aid is very good business with no accountability.

Zelenskyy isn’t going anywhere.

Zelenskyy isn’t. But Putin certainly is.

Witkoff is an idiot. He started naming the 4 oblasts that had referendums and started Crimea (wrong), Donbas (wrong and not an oblast).
If Witkoff has access to all the information, why doesn’t he know anything?!
