Kremlin says Putin has been invited to join Trump’s Gaza ‘board of peace’
The Guardian ^ | Mon 19 Jan 2026 | Julian Borger

The Kremlin has announced that Vladimir Putin has been invited to join Donald Trump’s “board of peace”, set up last week with the intention that it would oversee a ceasefire in Gaza.

The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists on Monday that Russia was seeking to “clarify all the nuances” of the offer with Washington, before giving its response.

The claim of an invitation comes with Putin showing no signs of ending his invasion of Ukraine, in which hundreds of thousands have been killed and Russian troops have carried out atrocities against civilians. The Russian president has repeatedly rejected proposals of ceasefire along the current frontlines.

The Kremlin also said on Monday that Putin’s special envoy Kirill Dmitriev would be attending the World Economic Forum in Davos this week and would meet members of the US delegation there. It is unclear whether those meetings will involve discussions of the Gaza board.

The invitation to Putin, which has yet to be confirmed by Washington, raises more questions about the intended agenda for the board. It was originally part of Trump’s ceasefire proposals for the Gaza war, and was supposed to oversee the transition to a lasting peace in the territory and supervise the work of a committee of Palestinian experts, also announced last week, who would take care of the day-to-day running of Gaza. The vaguely described scheme was endorsed in a UN security council resolution in November.

Vladimir Putin is at an airport and is going through customs.

Customs agent: “Name?”

Putin: “Vladimir Putin”

Customs agent: “Occupation?”

Putin: “No, I’m just visiting.”

Europeans are apoplectic over this normalization.

Lucky Putin. He has time from killing a million or more Ukrainians and fellow Russians to be on a “board of peace”.

Nice.

Pooty invited to join the swivelized world?

WHO would have thunk it?

If he refuses, any later intervention in GAZA by the Ruskies will be met by farce majeur.

Major significant troll.

Putin is a brutal dictator.

That said, he is lucky. It helps to understand the situation we are in. The Europeans took advantage of American taxpayers by refusing to pay for their defense. They are not our friends, instead they are parasites (with few exceptions in Eastern Europe such as Hungary and Poland).

Trump will talk to anyone. Especially those he disagrees with.

I was really surprised when I found the EU had not talked to Putin at all since the invasion of Ukraine, and Trump was one of the first leaders to talk to him. How is that a way to handle world affairs?

Putin? While there is a working arrangement between the Russian military and the IDF, Russia as a collaborator and enabler of the terrorist Iranian regime is far from a satisfactory nominee

so let’s see

Turkey (the former foreign Occupier of Israel)
England (the former foreign Occupier and purveyor of the infamous White Paper, also armed enemy invasion forces from the east)
Pakistan (declared enemy state)
Qatar (active enemy state and terrorist enabler)
Egypt (has broken peace treaty by moving military into “demilitarized” Sinai, has smuggled weapons into Hamas terrorists, has denied any Fakestinians wishing to leave for greener pastures the humanitarian right of safe transit, and now reportedly has sent a military naval vessel into Israeli waters today...)

Who else will PDJT sell (a billion dollars each!) these utterly imaginary and irrelevant positions to? What ART OF THE DEAL! Hamas retains its evil Occupation of the Gaza district and is busying itself by stealing humanitarian relief supplies and food that Israel is donating and trucking in by the thousands of tons…and by rearming and remanning its terrorist attack gangs. So there won’t be any Phase 2
Possible.

Selling vapor for a billion dineros a pop! Buyers don’t even get a used old rusty Brooklyn bridge, they get NOTHING

this takes real deal-making talent! It’s amazing !!
ha!

How generous of Trump to share his problems with Putin.
