--- "Putin's illnesses causing problems for President Trump's Easter ceasefire deadline."

Any citation for that assertion? I doubt it.

Maybe, because Zelensky hasn't been invited, the other part of your earlier prognosis was also a misdiagnosis. You'd had the Z agreement come first. But....

NBC included: " 'It is dangerous to speak with enemies before you speak with allies,' the aide added. 'Ukraine's position remains unchanged: We need to have a joint position of Ukraine, the U.S. and Europe before any negotiations with Putin'.”

Yeah.....

Mixed bag. One can't interfere with American demand for bread and circuses.

Perhaps some day?

Well, the War isn’t over yet.
And may not be over if The Global Homo rejects Peace.

His Country. His Choice.

The corrupted little man dressed in green and all his war cheerleaders ( smucks) aren’t to happy. He will have no say so, after what he has done to the Ukrainian people , no wonder.

I fully expect the Ukie population to skin him alive when they figure it all out.

Nothing is holding back Zelensky and Europe from Presenting Their own Peace Plan To Russia and Putin.

But they won’t do it.
They just want to moan and whine.
