{UAH} AND THE LONDON TALKS COLLAPSED

Friends

 

You see there is nothing that Zelensky has than time on his hands, he has sat in Ukraine throughout Joe Biden for Biden did not have an agenda, to tell you the truth the entire NATO joined Zelensky to fight such a stupid war which was an open ended war. Neither United Kingdom, Germany nor France had a time factor, a limit or a plan to end it. In fact when Canadians were selling this war they used terms like {Well Ukrainians are willing to die fighting Putin, all thy want is weapons, what do we lose in handing them the weapons?} So Zelensky didn't care how many people die as long as you hand him the weapons. The entire Europe started to get weapons massed into their cities that right now we are about to get bank robberies attacks with surface to air missiles, for no one knows who is holding what weapon in what European city, the leaders didn't care nor see it coming.

 

Now come the accountability administration, it pumps the breaks on the war, I have read the reports from Zelensky he is all up in arms with if America walks we are all in trouble, no he is not serious for he is with the other side of his mouth collecting money from all Europeans to fight Russia, they actually think they can beat Putin. And I love to watch that war. But I will tell you  something that is being ignored as Zelensky and Europeans are walking in this dark of illusion.

 

Steve Witkoff and the Secretary of State, the Vice president and all the Technocrats from the administration, are busy flying all over the damn place, not because they have nothing better to do with their time, but POTUS is in plan to travel to Middle East between May the 13^th to May the 16^th, he is going to the Saudis, Qatar and UAE, during that trip, he intends to sign many agreements among which he intends to sign a one ending this war. It is those agreements the technocrats are preparing today in these frantic travels. If you live in Europe, go on your knees and pray your God as you play these Zelensky games, that the agreement of ending the Ukraine war is among those agreements that POTUS signs during this trip. May 13^th to May the 16^th. If he does not sign it, and this war is still ragging after May the 16th, Europe will become a very interesting piece of land to watch. Consider this the best paragraph I have written for 2025.

 

Zelensky simply doesn't have the damn cards.

London talks collapse: What happens and why US Secretary of State skips Ukraine meeting

The ceasefire and overall war settlement talks that were to be held today in London at the level of foreign ministers were unexpectedly postponed. The level of delegations was downgraded amid media reports about Washington's peace plan, which involves recognizing Crimea as Russian and freezing the front line.

At the same time, there are some changes in the plan in favor of Ukraine. Namely, Russia would relinquish two small territories currently occupied by its troops. As The Telegraph writes, a partial concession to Ukraine would be the restoration of access to the mouth of the Dnipro River and the withdrawal of Russian troops from another area of the Kherson region.

According to Axios, the US proposals to the Russian side include:

・"De jure" US recognition of Russian control over Crimea.

・"De facto" recognition of Russia's occupation of almost all of Luhansk region and occupied parts of the Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

・A promise that Ukraine will not become a NATO member. The text mentions that Ukraine may become part of the European Union.

・Lifting of sanctions imposed since 2014.

・Expansion of economic cooperation with the US, particularly in the energy and industrial sectors.

・Resumption of possible new relations between the US and Russia, including lifting all US sanctions on Russia and beginning cooperation in the energy sector.

As The Telegraph notes, this plan would be a "bitter pill" for Ukraine, as it would lose territory without receiving any clear security guarantees from the US.

The US plan overall contradicts several of the UK's stated political goals. Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Zelenskyy that London is committed to putting Ukraine on an "irreversible path to NATO membership."

There are also questions about whether any British or other European troops could be stationed in Ukraine after a peace agreement.

However, according to the US proposals, nothing would prevent Ukraine from strengthening its Armed Forces, and European countries could continue supplying weapons. As Reuters reports, the Americans do not support Russia's demand for Ukraine's "demilitarization" and do not oppose European involvement in future security guarantees for Ukraine.

At the same time, the US has not officially announced any peace deal proposals. However, today Washington again threatened to end its mediating role between Russia and Ukraine.

US Vice President JD Vance made the corresponding statement. He warned that the States would abandon mediation "if no positive response is received."

"We made a clear and fair proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians," Vance added.

What happens with London talks and who to participate in them?

As previously reported, the US would be represented in London talks with Ukrainian and European counterparts regarding the Russia-Ukraine war this week by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump's Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg.

However, last night the news emerged that Rubio would not attend the meeting. US State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the reason was "logistical issues in his schedule."

But CNN notes that Rubio will be absent because Zelenskyy the day before rejected recognizing Crimea as Russian.

During a conversation with journalists on April 22, the Ukrainian President called discussions about control over Crimea and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and Ukraine's non-accession to NATO speculation.

"Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea. There is nothing to talk about here. It is outside our Constitution. This is our territory," Zelenskyy stated.

According to the Head of State, Ukraine wants a quick and just peace for itself, but also an unconditional ceasefire as the first step toward this.

Thus, at today's London talks, the US will be represented only by Trump's Special Envoy on Ukraine and Russia issues, Keith Kellogg.

Meanwhile, Sky News learned that overall, today's talks in London will take place at a lower level. Without the foreign ministers of the UK, US, France, Germany, and Ukraine.

Instead, there will be discussions among high-ranking officials from the five countries, although Ukraine's foreign minister is still expected to be in the capital and will hold a bilateral meeting with his British counterpart David Lammy, according to media reports.

How are Ukraine and EU react?

Ukrainian officials told The Telegraph they are skeptical about progress in the peace deal.

The EU, meanwhile, according to unnamed European officials, strongly opposes the US idea of lifting sanctions against Russia before negotiations are complete.

European diplomats consider a breakthrough in negotiations to end Russia's war against Ukraine "unlikely." They noted that "the chances remain slim" despite pressure from Trump.

At the same time, The Wall Street Journal writes, British and French officials are open to the scenario of recognizing the current line of control (frontline) in exchange for security guarantees and economic support for Ukraine.

But France and the UK would prefer a deal that recognizes Russian-controlled Ukrainian territories only "de facto," similar to the truce that ended the Korean War.

Amid a large number of media reports above, RBC-Ukraine asked its sources what is actually happening around the London negotiations.

"For now, the situation is roughly as follows: our delegation is en route to the meeting, which was scheduled for midday, organized by the British - London gathered everyone and promised the presence of Ukraine, the US, France, Germany, and the UK. We are ready for talks. If Rubio is skipping, then clearly the Rubio-format can't happen. But we are ready for all formats and all talks," a source told RBC-Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the US is reportedly already expressing concern that "Ukraine may return to its previous tough stance in the talks, making any deal impossible." As Reuters writes, citing an unnamed European official, such concern was expressed by the US Secretary of State.

What do London talks look like today?

The UK Foreign Office confirmed the media's information thattoday's high-level talks have indeed been postponed.

The British State Department said this happened amid leaks suggesting that Russia is allegedly ready to abandon its territorial claims to three Ukrainian regions that it only partially occupies, in exchange for US recognition of the annexation of Crimea.

The Financial Times, citing people familiar with the matter, wrote that Putin is allegedly ready to give in to his previous demand for full control over the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions "if the US recognizes that Crimea belongs to Russia and blocks Ukraine's accession to NATO."

The media resource wrote that Putin told President Trump's Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, about this, who has already visited Russia more than once and plans to do so again this week (the Kremlin called this publication "fake").

However, the negotiations, as emphasized by the UK Foreign Ministry, will take place today at the official level, but behind the scenes (closed to the media).

The news already emerged that a Ukrainian delegation has arrived in London, including the Head of Ukraine's Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.

"Despite everything, we will work for peace. As agreed in Paris, we will meet with American and European interlocutors who are in the British capital today. The path to peace is not easy, but Ukraine has been and remains committed to peace efforts," Yermak wrote.

Head of Ukraine's Presidential Office noted that today in London they will talk about ways to achieve a full and unconditional ceasefire as the first step towards a full-fledged settlement process and achieving a just and sustainable peace.
