Kremlin says peace deal must be reached with Ukraine, not US

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that a peace deal on the Russia-Ukraine war should be reached with Kyiv rather than Washington, a day after the US warned it would step back as a mediator on the issue if there is no progress.

Speaking at an educational marathon in the Russian capital, Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said his country is grateful to the US for its efforts in trying to mediate a peace deal with Ukraine, and that it hopes Washington's efforts are successful.

Peskov said Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready for proposals on the issue and that Moscow understands the US wants to achieve quick results in this process.

"At the same time, we understand that the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis are too complex to be resolved overnight. There are many nuances that need to be taken into account," he further said.

“A peace agreement must be concluded with Ukraine, not with America,” Peskov also said, noting that direct contacts between Putin and US President Donald Trump can be established if necessary.

Seems fair. It’s their conflict, not ours.

Ah yes, the root causes, i.e., for the Russians that would be Ukrainian independence.

He has a point. A meaningless point, but who cares?

What if Moscow is deliberately dragging this out and continuing to pound on Ukraine as they wait for the US to bow out of the negotiations? Once we leave perhaps a deal is reached that gives the US nothing. No minerals. No security. No consideration whatsoever. We are left continuing to foot the bill to replenish our weapons and Blackrock makes bank. After the Billions we pumped into that country that would be quite a kick in the balls. Does anyone think Zelenskyy gives a rip about the US if he gets most of what he wants from Putin et al?

In other words, Putin wants to beat the Ukrainians into submission. That won’t bother some Freepers, as they believe all Ukrainians are Nazis.

No, but the Nazis are in charge there. Most moslems are nice people, but that 3% that will cut your head off terrify everyone else to stay in line. That’s how Ukraine is. Most are nice people, but they live in a corrupt country and if they say there wrong thing… Nazis will knock on the door.
It’sa Nazi dominated society, not a Nazi majority society.

“Well, yah. We aren’t currently at war.”

Actually we are, thanks to the Neocons - it’s just that neither side sees a benefit in declaring the war. A country doesn’t have to formally have troops on the ground to be at war...sending missiles into another country is more than enough to meet that criteria.

But as it is, it looks like Ukraine wants Russia to first take Odessa before they’ll be ready to sit down and talk, which is probably just fine with the Russians.

Says who? I don’t see Trump giving Ukraine another dime on his watch. If the Neocons do take over, then, maybe, we’ll be back to going broke over Ukraine, but not until then.

Read the title of the article - Putin wants to talk, but if Ukraine prefers to keep fighting, well, they’ll get that outcome instead.

We’ve been in a proxy war, but our proxy’s ultimate string pullers want to escalate it.

Good for us to get out.

It’s funny how the Zeepers will bitch about the Democrats here all the time, understanding PERFECTLY WELL that the an evil entity doesn’t need to be 100% of the people, or even a majority - all they need is to capture the government, which Victoria Nuland did for them in 2014, and handed it over to the Ukrainian Nazis. That’s why their claims are so fake here!

Trump should just get the hell out of this Ukraine shiitt show with these two idiots that don’t have America’s interests at heart. He can’t be the savior for everything.

The Russians can lay out their proposed terms in writing.

The Ukrainians in Kiev could do the same.

About a thousand people on each side are being killed or severely wounded daily.

Pound the keys day and night. The keys on keyboards are the key to peace.

Our State Department has a very large payroll. It has generously paid experts who can assist the Ukrainian government in preparing offers and responses to the Russian negotiators.

Trump needs to work with Congress to get the legal tools and laws he as President and this country need.

I don’t know who thought otherwise. The problem is the comedian. Get rid of the comedian and then you can negotiate a peace.
