President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin for nearly five hours last week in a “compelling” meeting during which a “permanent peace” deal was outlined.
“Putin’s request is to have a permanent peace here. So, beyond the ceasefire, we got an answer to that,” Witkoff said, adding, “It took a while for us to get to this place.”
The deal focuses on who will control five Ukrainian territories, outlining future security protocols, Ukraine’s vow to stay out of NATO, re-examining Article 5 of the NATO charter, and other complex issues.
[Hopefully, Article 5 will be changed to make it harder to drag everyone into war.]
Witkoff explained, “It’s a complicated situation rooted in some real problematic things happening between the two countries. We might be on the verge of something that would be very important for the world at large.”

President Volodymyr Zelensky Will Not Negotiate.
The Ukrainian President has not agreed to negotiations and has repeated that for months. His inability to concede anything might prevent any semblance of a permanent peace.
He told ’60 Minutes’ this past weekend that he will not engage in peace talks with Moscow because the Kremlin won’t uphold their end of the agreement.

Zelenskky, an unelected dictator and failed comedian is responsible for thousands of Ukrainian deaths. Hopefully, when it’s all over, the Ukrainian government will put him on trial for his murderous acts.
If we had supported Ukraine when Russia invaded Crimea, we wouldn’t be here now. Thank you, Obama and Kerry, you feckless simps. I’ve spent a lot of time in Russia and Ukraine. I am an American and speak Russian fluently. Do any of you really think Putin will follow any ceasefire? The answer is hell no. He’ll only do it… Read more »
The “Bucha massacre” was done By Ukrainians on the locals there. They executed anyone who took meal boxes from the Russians, “as collaborators”. In a number of images we could see those boxes beside the dead. A French journalist who was on site at the time described how bodies were brought in “from the north”, as he said, and put… Read more »
Zelensky now wants an extension of martial law, until August.
Putin is a very serious man, look how much time he spent in talks.
Ukraine has to get rid of Z, or suffer for it. This is about stopping a world war, so is more important than Ukraine suffering. Z should not be accommodated at all. Nations are held accountable for the actions of the leaders.
Z made a fool Obama/Biden III and now his true colours are seen. He is a petty little despot bent on enriching his family and friends on the graft the Democrats have stole from us, the American people. Everyone who votes for the grifter Dems bears part of the responsibility.
