Kremlin says it is too early to discuss four-way peace talks format proposed by Zelenskiy
Reuters Yahoo News ^ | 2/3/2025 | Dmitry Antonov, Andrew Osborn

Zelenskiy told the Associated Press news agency in an interview published on Saturday that he favoured four-way talks between the United States, Ukraine, Russia and the European Union

-snip-

His comments followed remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting Washington and Moscow had already been in touch about Ukraine. Trump did not provide details, and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was cited by the Interfax news agency on Jan. 27 as saying that direct contacts between Moscow and the Trump administration were not yet underway.

Asked on Monday about Zelenskiy's thoughts on the format of future talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: "So far, no one has discussed in any serious way a possible combination of participants in the negotiations."

Peskov said it was also difficult to discuss the possible format of any talks when a 2022 decree signed by Zelenskiy remains in force banning talks with Russia for as long as President Vladimir Putin is in charge. Moscow says the decree must be revoked.

"Discussing the possible composition of participants (of peace talks) while the decree remains in force is probably getting ahead of ourselves," Peskov said.

Four way?

Shades of the Vietnam talks debacle.

Spent the first days arguing what the table arrangement would be.

Only 2-way talks between U.S. and Russia and U.S. and Ukraine until framework for Easter ceasefire is agreed upon. Then 4 way meeting on execution of ceasefire. Then no more 4 way meetings until after Ukrainian election results.

Four-way isn’t 3 of our side versus Putin. Could be Putin, his President of Ukraine (Viktor Yanukovych) (who Putin claims is the legitimate government of Ukraine), Trump, and Ukraine’s President of Ukraine.

Yanikovych is one of two foreign ex-Presidents living in Russia. Assad of Syria is the other.

Funny, there is only one ex-President of Russia living in Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, but he was just a Putin puppet and spends most of his time nowadays being drunk.

Vlad the invader say he wants to settle it, then suddenly he doesn’t want to deal. He must see opportunity now that the US has suspended payments/aid to Ukraine.

Trump should have anticipated this reaction, and have a follow up solution ready to go. Little z and Vlad the invader have one thing in common, they don’t seem to care much about the people dying in the war.

The title is fraudulent, and directly contradicted by the text of the article.

What are the odds a Reuters title will be dishonest?
70%?

More Like 95%, ... also it is 100% certain the title and article are written by Degenerate Globalist Liars.

Only carefully selected parts of the Truth are printed with ambiguous wording, generally beginning ten paragraphs into the article.

Zelensky AND the Europeans will be flies on the wall.

“Zelensky will just be a fly on the Wall.”

A very expensive fly. As the old ad said,
“Quick Henry, the Flit”.
“Kills insects fast”.
