Interesting series of events converging. According to multiple media outlets, a delegation from the U.S, Europe and Ukraine are scheduled to meet again in London tomorrow for further discussions of the peace proposal.
President Trump said Monday they had “very good meetings” about Ukraine and Russia recently as Trump was likely debriefed from the meeting that Secretary Rubio and Envoy Steve Witkoff held in Paris, France with Emmanuel Macron, Ukraine, EU and U.K officials. However, this was the same Paris meeting that preceded Secretary Rubio saying if progress was not made quickly, the USA would exit their role in negotiating a peace deal.
President Trump and Secretary Rubio are putting pressure on Ukraine, EU, U.K as well as the CIA background players to get to a place of earnest peace discussion, by threatening to pull back from their effort and likely allowing Russian President Putin a lot of implied latitude to increase hostile action.
The belligerent Ukraine officials (harsh Nazi tones on display) feel emboldened to keep fighting with enhanced funding and support from the EU, U.K, NATO and CIA operatives embedded with Ukraine forces. As an ancillary matter, the potential for Trump to pull back stands as a visible motive for the USA Deep State to keep attacking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
At a certain point President Trump is going to have to make a decision on further support. If Trump exits the proxy war, that’s when the real internal battle with the CIA will likely surface. This is a very interesting dynamic to keep watching as CIA Director John Ratcliffe appears to be a bystander, incapable of stopping the independent elements of the CIA from operating their own agenda.
According to the Moscow Times, “Putin aide Yuri Ushakov told Russian media on Tuesday that Witkoff will visit Russia later this week, though he did not specify what day he would arrive, nor did he say whether the Trump envoy would meet with Putin.” If Witkoff is in London on Wednesday, that would put him traveling to Russia Thursday or Friday.
Again, a simple reminder. It appears Steve Witkoff is the traveling ears and voice of President Trump back and forth to Moscow, which -as we identified for quite a while- is the best way to handle the discussions. Normal diplomatic lines of contact between President Trump and Vladimir Putin would be risky given the oppositional nature of the U.S. Intelligence Community. The emissary/envoy approach removes the IC influence and control agents from the issue.
On the ‘ceasefire’ table is still the subject of European countries being the peacekeepers on the demilitarized zone between Ukraine and Russian forces. France and the U.K want assurances that U.S. troops would protect the “coalition of the willing” if the EU puts peacekeeping boots on the ground in Ukraine.
There is a lot of contradictory narrative engineering very visible in western media about the ongoing dynamic [SEE HERE] and [SEE HERE]. I would estimate that well over half the information inside those articles is fabricated, intelligence-manipulated information control; ie. totally fake news.
Rubio (?) and Witkoff will be in London tomorrow. From there, Witkoff will likely return to Moscow to debrief Putin on the talks and enhance with President Trump’s advice on status. Then President Trump and President Zelenskyy will cross paths again on Saturday at the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome.
As an ancillary note, it does seem a little obvious that Nat Sec Advisor Mike Waltz has been completely removed from the negotiating team, instead being dispatched to the job of just cleaning up and reformatting the National Security Council.
We keep watching…..
