…………NEW INFORMATION ON “NEGOTIATIONS”……………
NEW: Trump Just Dropped the Hammer on Russia, As Negotiations Loom
keep in mind this is Red State…they are decidedly neoconish…but this is information we have not seen yet
Putin hasn’t agreed to anything other than a desire for peace.
Here’s a full transcript of the Russian president’s response:
Before I assess how I view Ukraine’s readiness for a ceasefire, I would first like to begin by thanking the President of the United States, Mr. Trump, for paying so much attention to resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
We all have enough issues to deal with. But many heads of state, the president of the People’s Republic of China, the Prime Minister of India, the presidents of Brazil and South African Republic are spending a lot of time dealing with this issue. We are thankful to all of them, because this is aimed at achieving a noble mission, a mission to stop hostilities and the loss of human lives.
Secondly, we agree with the proposals to stop hostilities. But our position is that this ceasefire should lead to a long-term peace and eliminate the initial causes of this crisis.
Now, about Ukraine’s readiness to cease hostilities. On the surface it may look like a decision made by Ukraine under US pressure. In reality, I am absolutely convinced that the Ukrainian side should have insisted on this (ceasefire) from the Americans based on how the situation (on the front line) is unfolding, the realities on the ground.

And how is it unfolding? I’m sure many of you know that yesterday I was in Kursk Region and listened to the reports of the head of the General Staff, the commander of the group of forces ‘North’ and his deputy about the situation at the border, specifically in the incursion area of Kursk Region.
What is going on there? The situation there is completely under our control, and the group of forces that invaded our territory is completely isolated and under our complete fire control.
Command over Ukrainian troops in this zone is lost. And if in the first stages, literally a week or two ago, Ukrainian servicemen tried to get out of there in large groups, now it is impossible. They are trying to get out of there in very small groups, two or three people, because everything is under our full fire control. The equipment is completely abandoned. It is impossible to evacuate it. It will remain there. This is already guaranteed.
And if in the coming days there will be a physical blockade, then no one will be able to leave at all. There will be only two ways. To surrender or die.
And in these conditions, I think it would be very good for the Ukrainian side to achieve a truce for at least 30 days.
And we are for it. But there are nuances. What are they? First, what are we going to do with this incursion force in Kursk Region?

If we stop fighting for 30 days, what does it mean? That everyone who is there will leave without a fight? We should let them go after they committed mass crimes against civilians? Or will the Ukrainian leadership order them to lay down their arms. Simply surrender. How will this work? It is not clear.
How will other issues be resolved on all the lines of contact? This is almost 2,000 kilometers.
As you know, Russian troops are advancing almost along the entire front. And there are ongoing military operations to surround rather large groups of enemy forces.
These 30 days — how will they be used? To continue forced mobilization in Ukraine? To receive more arms supplies? To train newly mobilized units? Or will none of this happen?
How will the issues of control and verification be resolved? How can we be guaranteed that nothing like this will happen? How will the control be organized?
I hope that everyone understands this at the level of common sense. These are all serious issues.
Who will give orders to stop hostilities? And what is the price of these orders? Can you imagine? Almost 2,000 kilometers. Who will determine where and who broke the potential ceasefire? Who will be blamed?
These are all questions that demand a thorough examination from both sides.
Therefore, the idea itself is the right one, and we certainly support it. But there are questions that we have to discuss. I think we need to work with our American partners. Maybe I will speak to President Trump. But we support the idea of ending this conflict with peaceful means.
sounds like an agreement to me
Just need to work out the “nuances”
Not many expected this much conciliatory language and agreements this early in the negotiations
You have to be amazed
Putin agreed that the sky is blue.
Smart enough to not say no & wise enough to phrase it in such a way that there are no commitments ahead of detailed negotiations.
In the meantime, our generals are doing their jobs & will continue to carry on carrying on!
Precisely.
But .. most of these conditions and concerns are entirely legitimate.
Putin should insist that the forces that are surrounded are only returned to Ukraine if the ceasefire leads to a settlement.

Well there you go…I am the only one here that is impressed that Trump has started negotiating a ceasefire between 2 parties that absolutely hate eachother and has already gotten them BOTH to agree in principle with a ceasefire that they both SWORE they would never ever agree to.
If you aren’t impressed with this opening salvo in this just birthed Peace ( Just this WEEK for Christ’s sake)….I don’t know what would make you happy
NOT EVEN A SIGNED AGREEMENT I BET
SHEESH
It is what it is. Yeah at least unlike under the Crash Dummy Russia and the US are talking but if you listen to what the man said there are conditions. Wishing doesn’t make it so.
You seem to forget, Fully, that Trump represents one of the combatants in the war. The U.S. is not neutral, and can not act as a legitimate broker. For political purposes he is pretending to be one, but be assured, the Russians are not fooled. At the moment they are responding politically to political overtures from Trump. They know the war is won, they have that in the bag. Their interests lie in a broader framework for a security agreement for the continent. That is the real negotiation, and the one in which Trump will need to make concessions. The Russians are accommodating his performance because they want a real agreement between they and the west, which will put an end to American interference in their part of the world. I suppose for domestic reasons Trumps is playing intermediator between Ukraine and Russia, but most everyone knows the contest is between the U.S and Russia. His worth is as a principal, not a go between.
Agree and Trump being ALL business is in a position to Offer Russia DEALS they could never have dreamed of when USA was under Globalist and neocon Control .
Trump and Putin have mutual Enemies . Trump does not represent the America that started this war.
Ending the Sanctions even though Russia’s economy has prevailed would be HUGE for Russia
Mineral Deals on the Table ….and I am sure much much more
Love the Americans or Hate them Their Economy Dwarfs Russia’s. Russia can only benefit from trade deals with America
There is much more than peace on the table
Putin has said this !
