Ukraine Delegation Refuses to Meet with Russia to Discuss Peace

President Trump and President Putin began a new set of peace talks on Monday amid a Ukrainian refusal to talk with Russians. American negotiators said they hope to achieve “real progress” at the talks in Saudi Arabia, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned of “difficult negotiations.”

“There are still many aspects related to the settlement which are to be worked out,” Peskov told reporters on a media call Monday after Russia’s Foreign Ministry published video of its delegation arriving at the Ritz Carlton in Riyadh.

A source familiar with the negotiations told NBC News that the White House is attempting a strategy of “shuttle diplomacy. ” The White House was meeting with Russian delegates Monday after speaking with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia a day before.

The peace talks in Riyadh were unsuccessful after the Ukrainian delegation refused to meet with Russia. This doesn’t come as a surprise since President Zelensky now demands membership in NATO, a deal breaker, and all the land back, including Crimea, lost under Barack Obama. That’s another deal breaker.

Ukraine and Russia have exchanged fire in the last week.

Jessica and her NGO are an example of the requirements for peace. Russia has to crawl out of Ukraine on their knees, begging for mercy.

Ukraine’s only leverage is the favorable press and the EU support. Perhaps that’s enough, or they think it is. It’s hard to say what Russia wants.

Trump is expecting to be able to give Russia most, if not all, of what it wants. Russia can not be allowed to keep what it is trying to steal. Ukraine has agreed to stop strikes on energy infrastructure, all the while Putin is still targeting civilians and cities, not military targets.

It is utterly unreasonable to expect Ukraine to swallow Putin’s crimes, while they give up everything to bring peace. Trump’s regime is not being reasonable.

Zelensky has canceled presidential elections until after the war ends. Take a wild guess why the war will never end if he has anything to say about it.

Zelensky canceled nothing. When the Rada, the legislature, invoked martial law, elections were automatically postponed. Only the Rada can declare martial law, not the President. Putin is the man that started the war and is the man that is keeping it going. Now he is doing with the help of Trump’s regime.

Zelenski is a problem child. Ukraine started the war. 

Ukrainian militants started the violence in 2014. There was ethnic cleansing of Russians in the Donbas region for years – Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions. 14K Russians murdered. Additionally, they denied Russia access to the Crimea, embargoed Russia, and begged to join NATO.

Russia was also fed up with the U.S. money laundering through Ukraine, the human trafficking, and the bioweapons labs. Enough is enough. Zelensky does not want peace. Trump should just tell the little pimp no more money, weapons, or ammo.

NATO needs to re-evaluate also. If they send troops into Ukraine and continue to subsidize Zelensky, Bye bye – and a green light for the Russians. NATO has evolved into a money pit for U.S. tax dollars anyway. Let ’em handle their own defense.

Zelenskyy doesn’t want peace. Without the continuation of the war he is finished. Zelenskyy’s whole rule is built around money laundering and filling the coffers of the evil globalist.

Zelensky will never agree to peace, he’s doing everything possible to derail the talks. Once there is peace, Zelensky loses his position as dictator. He would never be able to win an election, that’s why he stopped having them. Peace means Zelensky loses.
