US official says Ukraine agrees to peace proposal as Zelensky says ‘much work’ ahead
CNN ^ | Nov 25, 2025

• Ukraine has agreed to a deal to end the war with Russia with only “minor details” outstanding, a US official said, even as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said more work needed to be done.

• It comes as US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll holds meetings with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi about a proposed plan for ending the war, according to a US official.

• Russia though could reject an amended US peace plan if its terms are “fundamentally different” to the understanding reached during the US-Russia summit in Alaska, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

“minor details”

Yes, "minor" details like no NATO, no Nazis, no long range weapons, no significant return of territories, and no Ukrainian military strong enough to threaten Russians in bordering territories - who Ukraine would regularly shell using American weapons.

This was always the deal and mostly what was agreed to in Minsk, but defaulted on by regime changers, mischief makers and globalist Soros/WEF types.

Time will tell.

Is part of the agreement to “pull back” all of the US Taxpayer monies stolen by Z and his corrupt allies?

Similar deal could have been gotten years ago.

It will now that parties involved will have to use their own money to engage in it.

Trump’s proposed deal would hand back to Ukraine a nuclear power plant that probably has enough plutonium for five nuclear bombs.

Trump’s proposed deal doesn’t restrict Ukraine from building those bombs.

Expect a ‘Nyet’ from Russia.

Yes - the deal will need to be acceptable to the VICTOR, that's how these things always have worked.

The west can save face by making a "deal" now that would head off unconditional surrender.

Zeepers, crypto globalists, WSJ types are still in denial and will hate it, but even Ukrainian VIPs and friendly insiders are admitting fronts are collapsing and it's game over. Zel himself is, by even *discussing the latest proposal.

Reality always wins in the end and Ukraine/NATO is coming closer to accepting that. Trump has already accepted it.

The main “work ahead” will be spinning the coming agreement as a “draw”.

There's little sign that the Russians will accept any deal besides the terms of capitulation laid out in the leaked "plan."

Putin was out in uniform yesterday or the day before huffing and puffing.

I think Gerasimov is blowing smoke up his butt as they haven't even yet succeeded in taking Pokrovsk. All the supposed "collapsing fronts" are the Russians running infiltration teams forward, most of whom are promptly killed.

Russian aviation looks like it's preparing another big missile attack. We'll see.

Gonna be like hamas agreeing to ceasefire but then claiming that they will not disarm like they agreed. So, they murder someone and the IdF has to respond — which is labelled by the hamas/Ukraine press as genocide.

Same sorts of minds are involved. Same corruption will follow.
