“The U.S. side insisted that Ukraine must be involved in any negotiations,” another Russian source revealed. “That hardline stance made meaningful talks impossible.”
In 2024, Putin extended yet another peace proposal, urging Ukraine to negotiate an end to the war. His message was blunt:
Vladimir Putin: “Today, we’re making another real peaceful proposal, a proposal of peace. If they refuse once again in Kyiv, it is their business. It is their choice to continue this bloodshed. The reality on the ground will keep shifting and not in favor of the Kyiv regime, and the conditions for the talks will change as well. Let me emphasize that the gist of our proposal is not just a ceasefire or a temporary truth as the West wants it. They want to rearm the Kyiv regime. This is not about transforming this into a frozen conflict. We want to put an end to this conflict. Once again, I would like to say that as soon as Kyiv agrees to this turn of events, as we propose it today, as soon as they agree to withdraw the troops from the Porosha and Kherson regions and the People’s Republic, we are ready to launch these talks without any delay.”
Rather than respond directly, NATO swiftly rejected the deal. Instead of allowing Ukraine to decide, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg issued the official response, dismissing Putin’s offer as a ploy:
Jens Stoltenberg: “This is not a peace proposal. This is a proposal for more aggression and more occupation. This is not a serious proposal.”
Putin, speaking from Moscow, made it clear that he supports the ceasefire concept but insists that negotiations must be substantive, not just a temporary pause.
“The idea itself is correct, and we certainly support it,” Putin stated. “But there are issues that we need to discuss, and I think that we need to talk about it with our American colleagues and partners and, perhaps, have a call with President Trump and discuss it with him.”
Putin’s insistence on involving Trump in peace talks is a nightmare scenario for Zelensky and his allies in the West. Trump, who defied globalist expectations by brokering the Abraham Accords, has already proven that peace deals are possible—something the establishment wants to avoid at all costs.
A Trump-led ceasefire would unravel the entire Ukraine war narrative, exposing the conflict as a manufactured crisis designed to justify endless spending and centralized control.
Zelensky wasted no time responding, posting an emotional video on X, where he accused Putin of deceit while demanding tougher sanctions against Russia.
WATCH:
Volodymyr Zelensky: “Right now, we have all heard from Russia Putin’s highly predictable and manipulative words in response to the idea of a ceasefire on the front lines—at this moment he is, in fact, preparing to reject it.
Of course, Putin is afraid to tell President Trump directly that he wants to continue this war and keep killing Ukrainians. That’s why, in Moscow, they are surrounding the ceasefire idea with such preconditions that it either fails or gets dragged out for as long as possible. Putin does this often—he doesn’t say ‘no’ outright, but he drags things out and makes reasonable solutions impossible. We see this as yet another round of Russian manipulation.
There was a U.S. proposal for an unconditional ceasefire—in the air, at sea, and on the front lines. We in Ukraine accepted this proposal. We have heard from the American side that there is readiness to organize monitoring and verification. And this is absolutely feasible—with American and European capabilities.
And during the ceasefire, to prepare answers to all questions about long-term security and a real, lasting peace, and to put a plan to end the war on the table. Ukraine is ready to work as quickly and constructively as possible. We have discussed this with U.S. representatives, and our European partners, as well as all our allies worldwide, are aware of it.
Just Released: Trump White House Collector’s Bobblehead!
We are not setting conditions that complicate the process—Russia is. As we have always said, the only one stalling, the only one being unconstructive, is Russia. They need this war. Putin has stolen years of peace and continues this war day after day.
Now is the time to increase pressure on him. Sanctions must be applied—ones that will work. We will continue working with our American and European partners and with everyone in the world who wants peace—to force Russia to end this war.”
The chessboard is set. If Trump intervenes, the globalists will lose their excuse for unlimited spending, and Zelensky’s grip on Western aid could collapse. The question now is: Will Washington finally consider diplomacy, or will they keep pushing Ukraine down a path of endless conflict?
