a long-term peace settlement without any preconditions.....

Russia is determined to find a long-term solution to the Ukraine conflict but will not allow itself to be spoken to in the “language of ultimatums,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Monday.

On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to restart direct negotiations with Ukraine without any preconditions. Kiev, however, has insisted on establishing a 30-day ceasefire before any talks are held. Ukraine’s European backers have supported this demand. Berlin is threatening to impose additional sanctions on Moscow if it does not agree to a truce by the end of May 12.

Peskov responded to Germany’s threat by stressing that “the language of ultimatums is unacceptable for Russia.”

“You cannot speak to Russia in such a language,” the spokesman emphasized, noting that similar ultimatums were previously made in Kiev by the so-called “coalition of the willing,” which includes the leaders of France, Germany, the UK and Poland.

Peskov emphasized that Moscow is committed to searching for ways to achieve a long-term peace settlement that includes resuming direct talks with Kiev in Istanbul without any preconditions.

He noted that this approach is aimed at “finding a genuine diplomatic resolution to the Ukrainian crisis, addressing the root causes of the conflict, and achieving a lasting peace.”

As for the proposed ceasefire, Peskov has stated that while Moscow is open to the idea of a truce “in general,” there are a number of crucial concerns that must first be addressed, including guarantees that the pause would not be used by Ukraine to regroup its battered forces and continue its mobilization campaign.

Lt Col Daniel Davis: Putin: "We'll Fight While We Talk"

 

The speaker criticizes Ukrainian President Zelensky for choosing to defend urban areas like Bakhmut and Avdiivka at high human cost instead of retreating to more defensible positions. They argue this strategy played into Russia’s hands, which has a much larger population and military reserve. The speaker claims Zelensky prioritizes media headlines and Western praise over strategic military outcomes, leading to significant Ukrainian losses with little strategic gain. Multiple opportunities for negotiated settlements—dating back to 2019 and including offers from Russia—have allegedly been missed or rejected. The West, particularly leaders like Tusk, Macron, Scholz, and Starmer, is accused of enabling Zelensky’s decisions, which the speaker believes prolongs the war unnecessarily. The speaker warns that this may be the last diplomatic window before Russia decides to pursue complete military victory, potentially reaching Kyiv, regardless of cost. They conclude that unless the West changes course or Ukraine accepts negotiations, the war will continue with increasing Ukrainian losses.

======================

 

Putin and Ceasefire Negotiations:

Putin appears uninterested in a ceasefire with Ukraine but is willing to meet in Turkey to negotiate.

Some commentators suggest Ukraine should accept this offer to determine if a deal is even possible.

U.S. and European Leadership Critique:

There’s criticism of both the Trump and Biden administrations for lacking a coherent strategy in dealing with Russia and the Ukraine war.

Trump is portrayed as inconsistent, making contradictory statements about negotiations and war.

European Strategy Questioned:

European leaders like Macron and Starmer call for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, but critics argue they know Russia won’t accept it.

It's suggested they are using this stance to continue the war rhetorically without expecting real progress, maintaining power by perpetuating conflict.

Global Power Dynamics and Anti-Globalist Sentiment:

The discussion reflects strong skepticism toward "globalists," blaming them for promoting endless conflict to retain influence.

There's mention of growing public dissatisfaction across Europe with war, immigration, and national identity erosion.

Russia's Internal Stability vs. Western Fragility:

The Russian state is described as cohesive and stable, in contrast with the West, which is said to be fragmented and directionless.

Greater Israel and Iran:

A broader strategic theory is presented: that some Western interests want to pivot conflict toward Iran to control resources and replace dependence on Russian energy.

Trump’s position on Iran is described as inconsistent—opposing war in instinct, but lacking firm policy action.

Overall Tone:

The conversation is deeply critical of Western foreign policy, portraying it as incoherent, opportunistic, and driven by elite agendas rather than public interest or sound strategy.
