The global intelligence motive (5 Eyes) would be laughable if it were not so transparent. In an effort to create problems for President Trump and the Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations, an unknown intelligence agency intercepted the call then provided a recording to Bloomberg News.
The intercept was not likely U.S-based, or the leak would be to a different media outlet (WaPo, NYT or Politico). The Bloomberg angle indicates a likely EU intelligence source, with one of the “coalition of the willing” (U.K, France, Germany, or Brussels) the most likely suspect. Given the nature of the intercept, and the intent behind the leak, the British seem the most likely of sources.
The phone call itself is generally a non-issue. Essentially President Trump emissary Steve Witkoff and Russian Foreign Policy Advisor Yuri Ushakov were discussing the best way for their two principals (Trump and Putin) to connect and discuss the potential for a peace plan on October 14, 2025.
Between the margins there’s something we have discussed at length on these pages, a coordinated messaging campaign between the Trump administration and the Putin administration with both private objectives and public statements aligned in common purpose. The call itself is solid affirmation of our prior analysis of the relationship.
As we have long discussed, both President Trump and President Putin want to end the conflict. However, the EU, NATO, British, French, German govts, as well as the U.S. congress and Ukraine want to keep the war continuing.
President Trump and President Putin both understand the nature of each other’s political position. Thus, their communication is coordinated in public with back-channel messaging organized by their emissaries.
The October 14th call between the emissaries was intercepted, and with the Trump administration having brought Ukraine into the proximity of agreement, the call is leaked in an effort to weaken the plan sponsored by President Trump, Secretary Rubio and Emissary Witkoff. Some unknown intelligence agency doesn’t want the peace deal to be finalized.
The transcript was prepared after Bloomberg reviewed a recording of the call.
[phone rings]
Steve Witkoff: Hi Yuri.
Yuri Ushakov: Yeah Steve hi, how are you?
SW: Good Yuri. How you doing?
YU: I am ok. Congratulations my friend.
SW: Thank you.
YU: You made a great job. Just a great job. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you.
SW: Thank you Yuri and thanks for your support. I know your country supported it and I thank you.
YU: Yes, yes, yes. Yes. You know that’s why we suspend the organization of first Russian-Arabic summit.
SW: Yes.
YU: Yeah, because we think that you are making the real job there in the region.
SW: Well listen. I am going to tell you something. I think, I think if we can get the Russia-Ukraine thing solved, everybody’ll be jumping for joy.
YU: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you need to solve only one problem. [laughs]
SW: What?
YU: Russian-Ukrainian war.
SW: I know! How do we get that solved?
YU: My friend, I just want your advice. Do you think that it will be useful if our bosses will talk on the phone?
SW: Yes, I do.
YU: You do. And when you think it could be possible?
SW: I think as soon as you suggest, my guy is ready to do it.
YU: Ok, ok.
SW: Yuri, Yuri, here’s what I would do. My recommendation.
YU: Yes, please.
SW: I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace and you’re just, you’re really glad to have seen it happen. So I would say that. I think from that it’s going to be a really good call.
Because — let me tell you what I told the President. I told the president that you – that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal. That’s my belief. I told the president I believe that. And I believe the question is — the issue is is that we have two nations that are having a hard time coming to a compromise and when we do, we’re going to have a peace deal. I’m even thinking that maybe we set out like a 20-point peace proposal, just like we did in Gaza. We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing with you. My point is this…
YU: Ok, ok my friend. I think that very point our leaders could discuss. Hey Steve, I agree with you that he will congratulate, he will say that Mr. Trump is a real peace man and so and so. That he will say.
SW: But here’s what I think would be amazing.
YU: Ok, ok.
SW: What if, what if… hear me out…
YU: I will discuss that with my boss and then I come back to you. Ok?
SW: Yeah because listen to what I’m saying. I just want you to say, maybe just to say this to President Putin, because you know I have the deepest respect for President Putin.
YU: Yes, Yes.
SW: Maybe he says to President Trump: you know, Steve and Yuri discussed a very similar 20-point plan to peace and that could be something that we think might move the needle a little bit, we’re open to those sorts of things — to explore what it’s going to take to get a peace deal done. Now, me to you, I know what it’s going to take to get a peace deal done: Donetsk and maybe a land swap somewhere. But I’m saying instead of talking like that, let’s talk more hopefully because I think we’re going to get to a deal here. And I think Yuri, the president will give me a lot of space and discretion to get to the deal.
YU: I see…
SW: …so if we can create that opportunity that after this I talked to Yuri and we had a conversation I think that could lead to big stuff.
YU: Ok, that sounds good. Sounds good.
SW: And here’s one more thing: Zelenskiy is coming to the White House on Friday.
YU: I know that. [chuckles]
SW: I will go to that meeting because they want me there, but I think if possible we have the call with your boss before that Friday meeting.
YU: Before, before — yeah?
SW: Correct.
YU: Ok, ok. I got your advice. So I discuss that with my boss and then I come back to you, ok?
SW: Ok Yuri, I’ll speak to you soon.
YU: Great, great. Thank you so much. Thanks you.
SW: Bye, bye.
YU: Bye.
[Call Ends]
As you can see the content is a ridiculous nothingburger. The two guys who are supposed to be talking together are talking together; about the stuff they are supposed to be organizing on behalf of their bosses. {{Insert Eyeroll Here}}
It’s a “nothingburger” unless you are a stakeholder who wants to block the intentions of the phone coordination, which is a peace agreement. In that framing, the phone call provides the opportunity to shout, “Ah Ha! They’re in cahoots against Ukraine,” or something.
(Via Bloomberg) – Asked about Witkoff’s approach, Trump said he hadn’t reviewed the call but that he heard it was a “standard negotiation.”
“He’s got to sell this to Ukraine. He’s going to sell Ukraine to Russia. That’s what a dealmaker does,” Trump told reporters Tuesday. “You got to say, look, they want this, you got to convince them of this. I would imagine he’s saying the same thing to Ukraine, because each party has to give and take.”
[…] Trump said Tuesday he was directing Witkoff to meet with Putin, in the hopes of finalizing a peace plan.
“The original 28-Point Peace Plan, which was drafted by the United States, has been fine-tuned, with additional input from both sides, and there are only a few remaining points of disagreement,” the president said in a post on Truth Social. (more)
It's a nothingburger from the perspective of the intent of the leak and article…. However, from the angle that we have all expected – the global intelligence community effort to stop any peace agreement – this makes complete sense.

Deep state intel officials are running a leak operation against @SteveWitkoff just as they did against @GenFlynn.
It’s the exact same tactics they used in Crossfire Hurricane.
This is why @FBIDirectorKash @AGPamBondi MUST hold every single government criminal who participated…

This story is just the latest example of a long-running series of 100% fake news reports claiming a rift inside the Trump administration over how to end the war in Ukraine.
These people don’t just get things wrong, they literally make things up. https://t.co/C6CqXQW4HG

Seven ways,
Oh what a tangled web of deceit.
We no longer share national goals with any of the other 5 eyes. End intelligence sharing now Mr President.
Five eyes agreements should be discontinued. We can’t trust any of them anymore. They all are failing socialist states.
Worse, they are failing Islamic socialist states.
The reaction by the press to this call are reminiscent of how it reacted to the beautiful phone call Trump-45 had with the newly elected Ukraine President Zelensky that was turned into Impeachment #1 or was that the 2nd impeachment (there were so many it’s becoming hard to remember) as well as how the neocons were able to push Gen. Flynn to the side with his call to the Russian counterpart, so it could make sure one of their puppets could be in that position –
are the neocons acting as if President Trump and those in his administration aren’t aware of how the swamp uses phone call transcripts to drive their new story line, which makes me wonder – are some of these phone calls set ups by the members of this Administration just to play with the minds of the neocons trying to take down Trump-47 and to see who in their circle is leaking to the press?
Why do I feel like the are still trying to rob the US Taxpayer
Because they are. They’ve been at it for 160+ years so why stop now? And Sundance is right: of course the British are at the bottom of it. They’ve been using this country as a storefront and our military as their mercenary muscle the whole time. Donald John Trump is President of “the” United States of America, a British Crown Corporation originally contracted to protect our shipping on the high seas and inland waterways and to manage American the territories 1n 1789 (The Constitution of the United States of America).
They got the bit between their teeth during the Civil War and ran off pretending to be the government and stealing the taxpayers blind every step of the wa.y. They’ve maintained the illusion ever since. The British Empire is alive and well behind the scenes – Charles III wears the Imperial crown, does he not?
Without conflict their whole fictional world comes crashing down because they have no lawful reason to exist. “Emergencies” are created successively to justify their actions and they fund both sides of every conflict to maximize their profits. If the Vatican wasn’t in cahoots the Pope could liquidate the whole stinking thing with the stroke of a pen. Under ecclesiastical law, the highest form of law on the planet, corporations may exist for any LAWFUL (a higher standard than ‘legal’) purpose.
The American Republic was mothballed in 1861. Rumor has it that President Trump intends to establish a “new” American Republic, but he cannot. He lacks standing and he has been informed of this fact. Anything he gins up along those lines will still be British. He also knows that there is no actual National Debt to pay off and never was; – just more criminal activity and funky bookkeeping.
About those taxes: Americans don’t owe taxes and never did thanks to the treaties ending the Revolutionary War. You were unlawfully converted into British Territorial U.S. citizens so that the British Crown could bleed you of your wealth. Your Birth Certificate (traded in the bond market, don’t you know) is proof of the fraud.
All the more reason to stay out of any future wars in Europe. Screw ‘em.
Drugs are bad, m’kay? 🙄
It was a perfectly fine phone call!!
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Just once I’d like to see them stop calling it “fake news” and speak a bit more frankly.
There are monied interests and entrenched bureaucrats in the US, Europe, and elsewhere who stand to profit from the war. THEY DON’T WANT PEACE. So they spy on sensitive negotiations, then they illegally leak intelligence community intercepts to the media; a clear abuse of the power and privilege of access to interline community weapons of war. They use these weapons of war not to bring about peace, but to prolong war and line their own pockets. They also hyperventilate over what they hear, casting their illegal actions in heroic terms while trying to frame innocent people of crimes or misdeeds.
It really is that simple.
I think DoD and DNI need to issue a “strategic pause” in 5-eyes intel sharing pending a full review of whether US systems or people were used to intercept these communications.
The appointment process is rigged in the uniparty favor.
Trumps team just need to do it, without announcing a deal! Announce it after the deal is done! Don’t tell the nation a deal is near, just do it!
JDAM into the station that did the intercept.
Trump 2028!
MAGA!!
The CIA mist have gotten MI5 to tap Ushakov’s phone, just like they did with Flynn.
Time to poke their eyes out.
“”As we have long discussed, both President Trump and President Putin want to end the conflict. However, the EU, NATO, British, French, German govts, as well as the U.S. congress and Ukraine want to keep the war continuing.””
There’s prolly a FISA on someone which is connected to Witkoff and that allows US to listen-in on Witkoff from/with the 5-Eyes.
I’m just recalling Senators Whitehouse and Graham wetting themselves at the round table meeting with Zelenskyy back some months ago.
Let’s see….who has been busy threatening lawsuit about his phone records being handed over to Jack Smith? Graham sure has been pretty mouthy of late. Cover?
Graham is known for sitting in the roundtable meeting when Senator Whitehouse told Zelenskyy “you are among friends here”.
I think it was our people engineering it for the blame to go somewhere else.
I would have to say, there is a joint effort to derail the peace in Ukraine…
The EU is actually considering a ‘bridge loan’ to confiscate Russian assets they are holding just cause…
I am just amazed that these warhounds are manipulating the whole world into thinking Witkoff is not negotiating what is best for all the countries involved (Ukraine&Russia) not (UK/EU/France).
Makes you wonder how they gained the right to determine how ‘Russian Assets’ are to be used. I’m athinkin if these crooks seized my assets, I might just go to war/court to get compensation from them. They are all empowered with delusional imaginings…
Statement from Russia:
“Just think about what this person is saying. He stated that only Europeans have the right to manage Russian assets currently held in accounts that have been seized, well, essentially seized by representatives of European Union countries,” says Zakharova.
Statement from Macron:
Macron asserted that only Europeans have the right to decide the fate of Russian assets held in Europe, pushing back against elements of a U.S.-proposed peace plan that would involve American-led use of the funds. He stressed the need for Europe to act independently on this matter, stating, “Europeans are the only ones – because it’s in the [U.S.] plan – who can decide on what we’ll do with the Russian frozen assets that are held by Europeans”.
Macron: Europeans alone ‘must decide’ on Russian frozen assets
The French president praised Washington for seeking peace, just not this peace.
Statement from EU:
Kaja Kallas stated the need to impose limits on the size of Russia’s army and its defense budget
The head of the European Union diplomacy proposes to include such points in any possible peace agreement project to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
Kaja Kallas is going to decide the size of Russia’s army?
😆🤣😂
I wonder why there are Russian assets held in Europe? Who thought that was a good idea? Do we have assets that can be frozen by the EU? Every viewpoint sounds risky to me.
The only parties to benefits from what will be a pan-European war will be the militsry-industrial-financial complex.
At some stage, Trump must tell the EU trolls that either they get on board with the peace effort, or they will be on their own against Russia. Not only militarily, but logistically.

The Midweek Update – Trump Locks Britain Out of Peace: $1 Trillion Deal Shatters the Empire – November 26, 2025
…”this update encourages viewers to see through media distractions and understand the broader geopolitical shifts.”
Trump is systematically dismantling British imperial control by excluding warmongers from Ukraine peace talks and securing trillion-dollar deals that expose the G20’s irrelevance. This is economic warfare against an empire that depends on perpetual conflict.

Excellent a must watch and to follow after .
Topple the British Monarchy .
“Ah Ha! They’re in cahoots against
Ukrainecontinuing the war forever” or something.I don’t know but blame 5 eyes and our IC. Also Mossad maybe. They all hate US.
Speaking of phone calls, who remembers the War Room call between President Merkin Muffley and Dimitry Kissov?
Perfidious Albion…
Those clowns give weasels a bad name.
It’s all about power and money
and/or money and power.

It seems to me that Trump is just getting out of Putin’s way while Putin takes by force a reasonable solution to the security threat that globalist aggression presented to Russia and Russian heritage citizens in the Ukraine.
EU can settle anytime but they don’t.
I suspect these meetings negotiate what will be acceptable to the US to conclude the conflict.
Though Trump can’t say it out loud, EU can do it the easy way or the hard way. Trump prefers no bloodshed, but hey, whatever it takes to get the job done to establish a real and lasting solution for the future.
Simplicity and honesty are calming. Unfortunately ,selling anxiety is how the Enemedia exists.
