winter is coming....As a very difficult decision is looming for Zelenskyy, the weight of history is making the choice for him. Carry on fighting and lose more territory [at a rate of 1,200 DEAD soldiers per day] — or go with Donald Trump 28 points plan for peace and accept the losses. Honest observers and serious military experts cannot expect a return to 1991. According to some expert: 1991 — Ukraine has a population of 55 million 2014 — Ukraine has a population of 44 million 2025 — Ukraine has a population of 19 million In 2022, FOUR oblasts have chosen to return to Russia after a 100 year (say since 1922) errant in Ukraine. Crimea voted to re-join the Russian Federation in 2014 after a 60 year (since 1954) errant in Ukraine. These cannot be changed without WW3 — and WW3 would not change the situation. Kherson, Kharkiv and Odessa are still in the grey basket. If the Russian Military Operation continues, they will fall and the Russian population [60 %] of these Ukrainian Oblast will be voting to join the Russian Federation. Trump might pull some of his points off, but Russia will still baulk on a few sticky points — especially finances. But until the contract, the peace agreement, is signed by all parties [Russia, Ukraine and the USA — no EU], Russia will continue its RMO. Meanwhile one can hear the screeches of women. Okay, here Gus is going down a slide... The main frontline spokespersons against "Peace According to Trump" are women. Kalas, Von der Leyen and the Ukrainian Representative at the United Nations... And more. At the top, there is a picture of an American medic working for the Ukrainian Army in a well-appointed bunker. The reporter/journalist from The Independent is biased: Russia bad, Ukraine excellent. Russia does nasty tricks in Europe. Europe is a clean white dove... BS from The Independent... "NATO Isn't ready for war, yet..." she says... What is this supposed to mean? Ukraine has to carry fighting and lose another 1.5 million "men" till 2028, when NATO is up to Russia's present military strength? Would Russia improve its capability beyond what NATO could reach by then? Would Russia not have won the whole space by then? [something Russia does not want to do.] This is where I go back to the "women". Not all women of course. This would be sexist. But the women who have placed themselves at the frontline of AGRESSION without understanding history nor the damage their position is inflicting on populations — those of Ukraine and of Europe. Kajas, der Leyen and Hrystyna Gayovyshyn remind me of the Australian "mushroom poisoner", now in prison... They also remind me of the women in the front seat of a boxing match encouraging their man to fight until he's completely brain-damaged by a superior opponent, in order to boast about "honour" and "glory". Zelenskyy seems to have seen the writing on the wall. He hates the Trump Plan but he hates the alternative though he tries to put a spin on "freedom", "independence" and "glory" as winter will be harsh... All of these "women" and Zelenskyy have been part of the grand "chessboard": destroy Russia [for America since 1917 — for the UK since before Napoleon — for the Germans since Hitler — for the French who knows]... all with ebbs and flow of cunning, deceit and indoctrination without understanding. Russia has not been a clean player either throughout history and made some mistakes, but since the dismantling of the USSR, the Russian Federation has been somewhat morally far superior to the "west". The "west" has thrown everything at russia, from the Georgia to the Chechen wars, from the Navalny, the robber Oligarchs and now the Ukrainian caper. The "west" provoked The Russian/Ukraine conflict. It is likely that Donald Trump still has no full understanding of the "west" deceitful manipulation through its political and media outlets of the real synergies so far, but it seems The Donald can see if the "war" is not arrested at this point in time, things will go far worse — especially for the "west" with de-dollarisation and other shifts: BRICS creates more wealth than the G7... So, let's hope that the human world is about to enter a new phase: cooperation rather than confrontation. multipolarity rather than monopole. and that DECEIT WILL DIE... This could be the last chapter of Gus Leonisky's book "THE AGE OF DECEIT"... GUS LEONISKY

Ukraine's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Hrystyna Gayovyshyn, said that Ukraine would not sign Trump's plan:
Ukraine has officially received a draft peace agreement from the American side. Although Ukraine is ready to participate in constructive negotiations to end this war, including at the leadership level, our "red lines" are clear and unshakable. There will never be any recognition, official or otherwise, of the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine as Russian.
Our land is not for sale. Ukraine will not tolerate any restrictions on its right to self-defense or on the size and capabilities of our armed forces. We will also not tolerate any encroachments on our sovereignty, including our sovereign right to choose the alliances we want to join. To achieve peace, the fundamental principle must be respected: nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine and nothing about Europe without Europe. Strengthening Ukraine's defense capability is not an escalation of the conflict.
This is the only way to get Russia to participate constructively in international peace efforts. There is only one real way to end this war. Russia needs to be forced to retreat - economically, politically, and militarily.

peace is coming....
The administration of US President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Ukraine, saying that Vladimir Zelensky must sign its peace plan by Thursday, the FT has reported, citing Western European officials.
US Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll, who earlier discussed the US proposal to settle the conflict between Russia and Ukraine with Zelensky, relayed the details to the EU and UK ambassadors and other officials during a meeting in Kiev on Friday evening, according to the paper.
A high-ranking official described the tone of the gathering at the residence of US Chargé d’Affaires in the Ukrainian capital as “nauseating,” it said.
According to the sources, Driscoll showed up late and used obscene language to make Washington’s point clear. “We need to get this sh*t done,” he reportedly said.
A senior official told FT that the secretary insisted that “we have a narrow window for peace – President Trump wants peace now.”
One of the ambassadors cited Driscoll as saying that “the US Armed Forces love Ukraine... but it is the honest US military assessment that Ukraine is in a very bad position.”
Trump’s envoy added that “security guarantees” for Ukraine are part of the US plan and will be discussed with the Western Europeans and Kiev in the coming days, according to the diplomat.
The FT said that Driscoll had turned down calls by EU and UK officials to put more pressure on Russia, instead of suing for peace now. “It turns out this is even worse than we thought,” another senior EU official briefed on the meeting told the paper.
The US peace plan has not been officially disclosed, but, according to media reports, it, among other things, calls upon Ukraine to withdraw troops from the parts of Russia’s Donbass it still controls, downsize its military, and give up on NATO aspirations in exchange for Western security guarantees.
The push by Washington to persuade Ukraine to agree to its road-map comes amid a corruption scandal in Kiev, which, according to analysts, has significantly weakened Zelensky’s political position.
Zelensky said on Friday that Ukraine must brace for a tough choice between accepting the “28 difficult points” in Washington's plan or risk losing a key backer in the face of the US.
