Putin torpedoes Zelensky's ceasefire plan as Trump floats dramatic trip to Ukraine
The Daily Mail ^ | December 29, 2025 | Jon Michael Raasch

While President Donald Trump is negotiating with Russian and Ukrainian officials to end the war between the two countries, some in the Russian delegation are already undermining the progress....

Trump also noted how Ukraine's parliament will need to approve any peace deal with Russia.

He is also willing to speak directly to the parliament to get them on board with the deal.

'I’ve offered to go and speak to their parliament,' Trump told reporters on Sunday at a press conference following his meeting with Zelensky. 'I’d have no problem with doing it.'

And tell them what? I’m sure they know the situation.

They can’t or won’t depose Zelensky, so talking to them is pointless.

Good luck wid dat

Zelinsky is illegitimate since no elections have been made

Russia does not recognize Z-man as legitimate leader

Maybe the Ukraine CO of the military would suffice

It takes Ukraine 6 months to hold elections

Russia will not acknowledge any vote that does not include areas under Russian control

Z-man needs to abscond to Monte Carlo with his ill-gotten gains.

It’s pretty clear Putin doesn’t want peace and will level Ukraine to get what he wants.

“ undermining the Process” is a slanted way of describing Russia’s response to proposals that meet exactly none of their conditions which they have consistently repeated to Trump and his proxies like Witkoff

Putin is illegitimate since no honest elections have been held.

Russia is winning the war and it is NOT accepting anything less than the full acknowledgement that the annexed area is part of the Russian Federation, that Ukraine will never been allowed to join NATO or troops from NATO countries are allowed in what is left of Ukraine.

The side winning dictates the terms of any deal.

The alternative is Ukraine losing more territory and lives.

Yep. They will not acknowledge any but their corrupt elections.

Zelensky can make peace right now. I guess he wants Ukraine to be leveled.

What’s really great is that The Gaytor ALWAYS picks the losing side when he’s trolling.

He was ALL IN for Abel Reyna at Waco.

The Ukies are doomed.

Putin can also make peace right now. But I guess he wants Ukraine to be leveled.

We had friends with relatives in Russia. They would have to meet their relatives in Town, in public.

After Putin was elected, they were allowed to go to the little farmhouse..without the police.

He is NOT illegitimate.
