U.S. and Russian officials have reportedly agreed on a framework that could see the end of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, but at a potentially steep price for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce, the meeting culminated in an agreement to form “high-level teams,” led by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, to draft a peace agreement, as reported earlier by The Gateway Pundit.
The U.S. delegation also includes National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Special Envoy Ambassador Steve Witkoff.
According to Sergey Lagodinsky, a German lawyer and a Member of the European Parliament, wrote on X:
According to my sources: the proposal by Trump consists of 3 stages:
1) a ceasefire 2) ELECTIONS in Ukraine 3) signing of a final agreement.

No wonder Zelensky refused the deal last week
Russia asks for Ukraine to hold new elections as part of proposed Trump ceasefire and peace plan From humanevents.com

Saw that coming..
That is exactly my proposal. A ceasefire for a set amount of time to campaign and have an election. Then finalize a deal after Zelensky loses, which he will - bigtime - it’s why he canceled the election in the first place.
About dang time
If that happens, Zelensky will immediately flee Ukraine, probably for Israel. Zaluzhnyi will kill him.
Perhaps Russia too?
"Z" imposed Martial Law and made himself President.
Zelenskyy wants to remain in power FOREVER..he’s a dictator, that is what dictators do, isn’t that right, isn’t that what the commie media always accuses Trump of wanting to be, a dictator, well here you have Zelenskyy, REFUSING to give up power, refusing to allow elections..heck who knows maybe he would easily win but at least have elections
Probably OUR condition, not Putins.
Zelensky should be grateful his head was not on the negotiating table—in a box.
Of course if he wants to object...lol.
They both will just have fake elections.
Pompey’s was given to Caesar in a box.
Pissed Caesar off - but still - it’s good thinking
Just one more deep drink from Sam’s Money Trough, and he and his well-oiled gang should be satisfied they have pocketed all they can, and move on.
Long as nobody gets too greedy, should all work out.
“”Zelenskyy wants to remain in power FOREVER..he’s a dictator,”” Whenever you see him at an event or meeting he is dressed like a mini Castro.
Any ceasefire will just see the nazi-nationalists trying to conscript a 4th Army ( or is it a 5th) and try to reequip them and push the front eastward.
Continue sabotage and spec ops
And punish terribly any towns or villages or politicians seen as pro-Russian.
With the backing of die hard european warhawks.
Think of Minsk 3
Once we get the Euro-weenies off welfare we will be hearing less and less from them.
“..Zelensky should be grateful his head was not on the negotiating table—in a box....”
Read somewhere awhile back, that Putin wanted the Big Fauxi as part of the peace deal. Putin wants the Faux to stand trial in Russia for crimes against humanity. I’m no Putin cheerleader by any means, but it sure would be hard to disagree with him on that one. The vile little gnome has it coming to him.
I like the idea of an open election.
Since this whole thing started, I have been anti-Putin and not pro-Zelensky.
But it’s high time Zelensky is told “Free election or no more money”.
At the same time, Russia has a penchant for meddling in elections. Yes, for all of you Putinista Blame America Firsters in here, I know the US had done it too.
But a free and fair election could be the first step in ending this whole thing.
Why would you say that? Deligitimizing Ukraine as a nation has always been a central part of Kremlin Bolshevik gaslighting. In fact it is Putin’s regime and Russia that does have genuine elections. We know what happened to Prigozhin. And Navalny. And Nemtsov.... It’s always hilarious to see ill-informed commentators project Russia’s disfunctional institutions onto its neighbors.
No, Russian chauvinists such Putin will never willingly accept any outcome here that is not subservient to their interests. The first step here is for Russia to accept the legitimacy of the Ukranian nation and culture separate from the Russia World because if that is not done they will never accept the results of any Ukrainian election.
