Amid an intense conflict continuing, the government of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin are in negotiations for a meeting. However, the U.S. State Department does not want Zelenskyy and Putin to negotiate an end to hostilities.
Reuters – “Ukraine and Russia are discussing a place and time for talks, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s spokesman said on social media on Friday. “Ukraine was and remains ready to talk about a ceasefire and peace,” spokesman Sergii Nykyforov added. (link)
Unfortunately for Zelenskyy, an end to the fighting would be against the interests of the Biden administration. Highlighting the point, the U.S. State Department does not want Zelenskyy and Putin to meet. The Biden administration conveys a very telling message, from their perspective, saying only the United States is permitted to negotiate with Russia on behalf of Ukraine. Zelenskyy needs to stay out of it.
WASHINGTON: Russia’s offer for talks with Ukraine is an attempt to conduct diplomacy “at the barrel of a gun”, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Friday (Feb 25), saying Russia must stop its bombing in Ukraine if it is serious about diplomacy.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said earlier on Friday that Russia was ready to send a delegation to the Belarusian capital Minsk for talks.
Russia had attempted to engage in “a pretense of diplomacy” even as it prepared to invade Ukraine this week, Price told reporters at a news briefing. “Now we see Moscow suggesting that diplomacy take place at the barrel of a gun, or as Moscow’s rockets, mortars, artillery target the Ukrainian people,” he said. “This is not real diplomacy. Those are not the conditions for real diplomacy.”
[…] Responding to reports that the US government had ordered officials to stop most contacts with Russia, Price said the invasion of Ukraine had “fundamentally changed” Moscow’s relationship with Washington and other nations. But US officials would continue to engage with their Russian counterparts on important national security issues, including the talks to return to a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, he said. (read more)
The arrogance and controlling attitude by the U.S. State Dept tells us all we really need to know.
The Biden administration has created this crisis between Russia and Ukraine for a convenient purpose, and the White House is not about to let Zelenskyy screw it up and create peace.
The U.S. wants President Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine, so the State Department can take full control over the narrative. Zelenskyy is refusing to leave.
…”Listen you little shit, we’ve put a lot of time, money and effort into creating this mess – and I’ll be damned if you and your little scruffy band of tin soldiers are going to be allowed to act as if this is your war to negotiate.”…
US State Department has come out in opposition to Zelenskyy and Putin meeting to discuss potential ceasefire. (!)

As always, mainly the young dying… sad.
Sickening.
Unnecessary.
And all of them, on all sides, have heartsick relatives in agony over this.
People with children cannot get food. Families trying to flee are separated.
Ukraine has to negotiate, no matter what Dementia Joe blathers. The Uniparty is rushing over Billions of $$$ to buy support in those negotiations. That might work, if Russia withdraws quickly. Everything’s for sale in Ukraine.
Russia has a free hand for almost 3 years. Their 1st priority is to take control of the Ukraine from the US. 2nd add mega trillions in natural resources to the huge Russian reserve. Russia can rape Europe and the US for oil and gas and in January 2025 no one will be talking about the Ukraine. Obama gave them Crimea in 2014, by 2016 it was forgotten.
And behind the scenes:

Ukrainian president asks Israel to act as mediator in Russia-Ukraine war, host talks in Jerusalem
Smart guy. I hope he survives.
Ukraine and Zelensky are providing real opposition to this Russian invasion. Note how others who had been under control of USSR are sooo willing to help Ukraine. Their pasts bring them together against the common oppressor.
Russia cannot have Ukraine inspiring others.
Meanwhile those who promised to protect Ukraine (so they would not pursue nukes) US and UK are looking much smaller on the international stage.
Why? The UK is sending materiel. They don’t look small at all.

I saw a lady “expert” on Fox News last night saying among the things the Ukrainians need were “sniper rifles.”
The.US would like this war to go into a long drawn out guerilla mess.
This means no more deer rifles for sale at WalMart. (Or anywhere). If you were thinking of buying one better act now.
You already cant find ammo (well you can but not for $20-30/box, now its $70/box).
You wont be able to find anything “long range” (.308, .223, or 6.5 CR).
Patriots may need to go on line and buy a case (200 rds, 10 boxes) in those calibers while they can. Production will be shifted away from everything else.
God Bless the USA then the Truckers, then Ukrainians.
Heh. .30 carbine and 30-30 Win. It handles what’s in the Southern woods.
I wish President Zelenski good luck and hope he is able to negotiate for his country with the Russians. (and that he is not murdered)
The US has been in charge of the Ukraine since 2014. Now that this country will have new borders and be a new country it is time for the US to butt out and let this issue be settled by those that live there. We do not
.
It is unfortunate for the politicians that they will lose their cash cow and money laundry, but too bad.
IF and WHEN the USA GETS OUT of the negotiation, dialogue, it will be resolved hopefully by the two countries. USA HAS NEVER and WILL NEVER WORK OUT PEACE anywhere….look at our 50Y history…>WHEN have we EVER been successful??????
WE are likely THE biggest problem to peace there now.
American history in the affairs of other countries for the last 50 years, has been an unmitigated disaster for all, specially Vietnam. Millions killed in strategic bombing by B-52s, devastation of the countryside using chemical weapons etx.
.
Wrong. Trump negotiated peace deals between Israel and Morocco and Israel and the UAE.
We were successful when President Trump was in the WH. Like with the Abraham Accords — who else could bypass the Palestinians and get major Middle East players to negotiate peace with Israel? Other than the Trump years, though…
“The offensive continues in the Mariupol direction. Part of the settlements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrenders without a fight. The Ukrainians leave some of the opposing forces in such a hurry that they leave not only ammunition, ammunition and official documentation, but also the bodies of their dead comrades.”
Per Telegram source.
Telegram, fake news
I was (bad mistake) going through channels. Stopped at Fox. Cavuto (the worst ) but there was a GOP pollster, some chick named Scott; well, she’s saying, NOW is NOT the time for criticizing and critiquing Biden and taking cheap shots…WONDER WHAT SHE SAID OR THOUGHT the past 4Y…(never saw her before, some glitz looking blonde chick)….?
Then goes on to say, well, Americans SHOULDN’T BE complaining and WE shouldn’t mind PAYING MORE for bread, gas, our living expense…Ukraine is fighting for their lives…Well, I get that, BUT WHY should I be screwed, raped, suckered, gouged?????????
I KNOW THE GOP is the DUMBEST of the DUMB…THE DUMBEST..
ANY wonder NOTHING is ever accomplished when R’s in charge, power, control?
And $6BILLION going to Ukraine?????????? Tax $$$$????????
We wouldn’t spend $$ to build/construct a southern border wall??????
Fox News is worthless. It never was on our side, just a Con., Inc. chaff and distraction operation. Made us lazy, sitting on the sofa listening to talking heads we wanted to hear – instead of action-action-action to take back our Nation.
Highly recommend:

“Made us lazy”
There are things called “books.” I’ve read a bunch starting in the 90s which clearly revealed way back then the farce of the UniParty, how the US had already strayed so far from the brilliant intent of the founders, and how we were being played by the two major parties.
TeeVee has always been simplistic, propagandistic crap…
Bannon is usually good. On this issue it just feels like he’s treading water. From what I’ve heard he has not said a word about the “Putin’s clearing out the mess” theory. Or phony footage everywhere you look. BUT perhaps that’s his “role” at this point.
He doesn’t jump on the bandwagon until he has had time to sort out the BS from the noise. And that’s fine.
How much of the billions is really going to Ukraine true aid and how much is going to ???
Makes you think that ALL foreign aid is just a big money laundering operation.
Did you notice how very many LARGE applications for foreign came across by Dims after Trump was run out??
The 4 Trump years, with cutbacks and justifications needed for any FA were lean times for the Congressional cheats…They were making up for lost time.
I heard that she did also mention quickly that both sides
should stop casting blame..not on Biden or Trump.
But otherwise it was all just lets all get along..(where was
this attitude the last 4 years but now that thier guy is in we
should all do our part and get along) NOPE!
p r o p a g a n d a Such statements are not unscripted, unapproved. Remind yourself instead just how much our president has taken away, shut down, delayed, regulated the entire infrastructure of the United States. How hard he worked to stop the flow of commerce and shut down jobs, raise the cost of farming to force farmers to kill there herds and leave their crops in the field; how diligent he is to make people sick and hide all truth as “secrets” in every branch and dept. of government, devalue the dollar and penalize the poor while diabolically dumping millions more poor into our country to abuse and use what resources are left. Never forget.
It is Biden’s loose mouth parroting Obama, diligently stirring up strife, who prodded Putin, promised Zelensky the US would send US troops.
Biden’s loose mouth and his uncontrolled facial expressions, whispering voice, cartoonish “Joker” garish grins often frozen in place that Biden defaults to which give away the monsters he carries hidden inside. Until some reporter pushes his buttons. Two Beings in one body; he switches before your very eyes.
Demon infested.
The GOP is not dumb, but they are now traitors. At least the Democrats are honest in their hatred of America, her people and Constitution. The GOP establishment veil their contempt for us and feign loyalty to conservative principles. They are much more dangerous to our nation than an open enemy.

“Ukrainian troops do not let people out of Mariupol, many are shot. Total chaos began in the city and its environs.
Dear residents of Mariupol, try not to move around the city. Mariupol will soon be liberated!”
Per Telegram source.
Looks like the UK just gave Zelenskyy the Kiss of Death. Take asylum or… you know.
That’s the only way the DarkSide can prosecute an insurgent war against Russia. Get some violent al Qaeda types in charge… and trash everything.
It’s perfectly obvious that a lot of very-corrupt people really don’t care that Putin is in. What they want is for Zelenskyy to be out. The DC Swamp has been running a casino there for many decades, through their own sons and daughters. They don’t want someone who successfully campaigned on a “drain the swamp” ticket, and whose government actually began prosecuting people. They want a nice, corrupt, compliant “pit boss” who will allow the casino to resume.
OMG! DO NOT let FJB negotiate with the RUSSIANS! It will be another DISASTER!
No offense Matt, but I think this is dead wrong. By taking Belarus and Ukraine, Putin has put NATO on his borders. Putin told everyone why he went into Ukraine – because it was a mistake of history. Ukraine has always been Russia, according to Putin.
Disagree. NATO expanded east, not the reverse.
Read this again: “By taking Belarus and Ukraine, Putin has put NATO on his borders.”
Now, explain how that is incorrect. It could be refined to “put NATO on MORE of his border.”
Yes, NATO expanded eastward, but Putin’s actions show one of the primary reasons WHY those countries wanted to join.
BTW, IMO NATO should be 100% European. They recovered from WWII long ago and can fully afford the financial burden to defend themselves against Russia if they choose to. If not, they can suffer any consequences of not doing so as well any resulting from a greater reliance on Russia. Their choice entirely.
I read it, lad. NATO globalists moved NATO east. You and Obama and McCain and the Clintons and Bidens and McConnells favor this, apparently. How’s that working out for you?
Putin never had a fear that NATO was positioning itself for an invasion of Russia. The NATO countries cannot even work up the will to provide for their own defense, let alone make the sacrifice for what an invasion of Russia would require. To even suggest such a thing is gaslighting at the expense of the Ukrainian citizen now being crushed or put to flight.
What you are watching is global positioning within the burgeoning New World Order and Putin is simply one of the players bringing it about. The death and destruction is simply a means to an end, a “necessary sacrifice” for the greater good.
** “The NATO countries cannot even work up the will to provide for their own defense…” **
.
Which is the reason NATO should be dissolved, not expanded as the globalists want. Trump was moving in that direction.
Wrong. Trump was moving in the direction of getting NATO allies to contribute more. And he was succeeding. He wants a strong NATO, not a US charity case.
No, Trump was not in favor of NATO being a globalist tool in Kosovo, north Africa, eastern Europe, Afghanistan and anywhere else you neocons wanted to have your instawars. The payment angle is simply an exposure mechanism. The euro’s won’t pay. Why should they? It’s you neocons who want all these wars, so the euro’s rightly refuse to pay. They would if they felt threatened. They don’t.
We know Biden will get the job done. Meanwhile to prevent this we need to permanently stop Russian natural gas exports. Germany must sacrifice its guilt driven net zero carbon fantasy and dig coal, coal, and more coal. We can help buy steering LNG supplies to Germany and providing enough LNG carriers to handle the trade. And for the future when they have the luxury, think nuclear.
Germany can:
#1 – re-start the 3 nuke stations they just shut down a few weeks ago.
#2 – keep open the other 3.
We’re talking several gigawatts of electricity. Which is already Zero-Carbon, in case any silly Carbonphobes have their panties in a wad.
“We have ALL the right answers.”
Biden is even a lousy sock puppet.
Is Joe still taking long weekends ?
Joe “Neville Chamberlain” Biden takes long weekends in the country. Putin takes countries on the weekends.
And DJT is the modern day Winston Churchill. Churchill was pushed aside in Britain, more reviled than even Trump, until the going got rough and Hitler unleashed war on the continent. Then the British realized he’d been right all along.
The USA has no dog in this fight, they said they would not fight for Ukraine therefore anything they say is moot.
Carry on Zelenskyy.
I’d bet a nickel we have units on the ground in Ukraine. Black ops. Plus, probably semi-truck loads of SAM’s and Stingers. We had a lot of time to pre-deploy
Can you provide a direct quote, a person or gov. agency, saying that the State Department is against Ukraine entering into negotiations with Russia?
Let’s say many of the Western news sources are correct and Russian forces are bogged down outside of Kiev. IMHO Putin has still left himself an out. He can deploy his forces East of the Dnieper River. He then can establish a defense zone in the whole of Eastern Ukraine. Place anti-aircraft systems, build a few airfields and place artillery from North to South.
Then he has his buffer zone. Most of Eastern Ukraine will support Russia and no more shelling of the two new political entities that Russia just recognized. At any time of his choosing he could shell parts of Kiev or anywhere else the way that Ukraine forces have shelled Eastern Ukraine since 2014. If he really wants to get frisky he could introduce Mr. MLRS to the equation.
If Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro do not approve they can explain why Israel can flatten entire neighborhoods after some crude rockets do very little comparative damage and everyone must sit by while Eastern Ukraine is bombarded by fire from modern artillery pieces all the time. No one is supposed to mind that. Putin could make the area the Russian Golan Heights.
Spot on.
How’s that “GREEN” push working out for the world? If they were serious about energy they’d stand up nuclear energy plants all over the world to run everything that is stationery and build the pipe line and open drilling for everything else. The world depends on oil/gas products for almost everything. Take away one product PLASTIC and see what disappears. This is a self inflicted wound all over the Western world and Putin knows it. He has a stranglehold on Europes energy and was tickled pink when the election was stolen. Count on it.
Thorium scalable reactors.
Trump understands solving problems are simple once the complexities are removed from the problems.
And that’s why they want Zelensky to leave for just that reason. He decides to start revealing all the dirty dealings then the fecal matter will truly hit the fast rotating blade.
Biden’s Burisma worries are over.
He did everything but beg Putin to invade.
No more Ukraine, no more Burisma, and no chance of an investigation.
So it cost an entire Nation
So what..
Basically we have bought Ukraine and feel we own it all, it’s why Putin said enough.
Our putrid filth drains all over, like the homeless filth we gather. It really is hard to believe we have fallen so far.
If there was a military who stood against Washington elites and the rulers and globalists, how many volunteers would we have?
Well, you can start by counting the number of Convoy truckers and the the number of people who come out to support them on their route to Washington DC.
This Russian-Ukrainian War is potentially headed for nuclear war. The United States and its NATO allies had better ratchet this down quickly. I have read that Russia is a country of 160 million, a GDP comparable with Canada, and a 400,000-man army, i.e., not a serious threat in my book. I’ve tried to create an analogy, so read this:
Imagine two English-speaking Mexican provinces bordering the US which were being shelled from Mexico from the south. Imagine these provinces were pleading with the US for help. Imagine also that Mexico is trying to join a military alliance, an alliance specifically established to defend against the US from a by-gone area that is beyond the memory of half the current population. What do you do, Mr. President?
The US invades the two provinces. That’s not enough to neutralize the problem, so the invasion continues. The countries of the military alliance start sending sophisticated weapons to Mexico to kill as many Americans as possible and stop the Americans advance, or at least make it as difficult as possible. The conflict becomes ever more deadly and brutal.
There is a little problem. America is a major nuclear power and this war, owing to all the help given to Mexico, is becoming an existential problem. It is becoming more than just a war against Mexico. The punishments inflicted on the US by countries of the alliance are devastating. Things are getting desperate. Might be time to stop and do some serious thinking.
Good analogy. Also, if reports are true that the Ukraine air force is having some success the aircraft must be based in close by countries. The Ukrainian air bases have all be destroyed or neutralized.
What if Putin decides that he cannot allow his boys to be killed by aircraft that can retreat to safe bases in say Poland. What if he decides to cripple those bases. You see how this snowball can go. This is why this conflict should have been avoided at all cost.
Edward Dowd…former BlackRock…opines on Russia/Ukraine conflict with Del Bigtree, albeit later in the interview.

Has anyone else noticed that the war updates sound like defense contractor commercials? There are all these “experts” on tv and in print touting defense systems by name, bragging about their effectiveness.
Biden told them to fight in order to get the eyes off his disastrous government policies and therefore, fight they must!
Why not put all the money launderers on the front lines and let THEM fight it out with the Russian commandos?
…”Listen you little shit, we’ve put a lot of time, money and effort into creating this mess – and I’ll be damned if you and your little scruffy band of tin soldiers are going to be allowed to act as if this is your war to negotiate.”…
Where did this come from,,,,who said it,,,,,when….in regards to what.
And Zelensky says “Let’s Go Brandon” in…3…2…1.
I’m sure Zeldnskyy is better suited to negotiate. Blinkin current Secretary of State is as useless used Kleenex. He always has that deer in the headlights look. Maybe the sea hag could come out of retirement. What a useless group of nimrods directed by a pudding head.
Joe has nose problems. While maniacally forcing mandates, threats, CRT, sexual exploitation of children in the USA, the damn world is facing war.
If our enemies hit us with bombs & electrical shutdowns, his CRT, BLM, sexual teaching to 5 year olds, & all that BS, will not make us strong. He’s emasculated America. Our enemies love him!
And don’t send billions to Ukraine – make him get the 85 billion dollars in weaponry he left our enemies in Afghanistan.
Mind you’re own business, Joe, & let Ukraine speak for itself. You are a feckless excuse for a leader, with a staff cut from same cloth.
And who knows how much of those billions to Ukraine would be laundered back to Joe, real soon? Can you imagine how much income it takes to keep up all his homes w/taxes, staff, etc? There’s no more where that comes from after he’s gone. Nobody wants Hunter without Joe, and he doesn’t have Kerry’s million from Heinz to support him.
Gotta find a way to get some more money back to him before he retires.
Properly translated version:
Sorry – but after convincing everyone that Russia would not invade Ukraine, you’re now saying the US wants it to continue?
I usually agreed with your opinion but this is pure BS>
In a few short years, NONE of this is going to matter to most people. They will be too sick & dying from the VAIDS jabs. That’s why Joe and the NWO Gang are ‘biding their time’ – they know they only have to create excuses, smokescreens, procrastinate – and wait. No ‘governments’ anywhere are making solid plans for the ‘future’. They know there is no need. Their ‘excuse’? “We had to depopulate because of ‘climate change’.” Looks like Putin’s not playing.
The DC rats of both progressive parties are scurrying while their cash cow gets slaughtered.
One half can no longer laundry their dollars. The other can no longer spike fuel costs for their friends if this happens.
If I was Zelensky, I certainly would not get onto an airplane provided by the U.S. It wouldn’t clear Ukraine airspace before it was shot down.
I’m impressed with the fighting spirit of the people of Ukraine. There is a lot one person can do with a rifle and a will to live. They are being creative in their efforts to thwart the Russian military. People who are familiar with their surroundings and terrain have a built-in advantage. Plus, Exhibit A as to why citizens should never give up their firearms!
Are we the only ones who recognize the manipulation? Is Zelenskeyy not aware of the same thing?
I don’t see the difference between Russian corruption and NATO corruption. It looks to be a choice between a lie, and a perception producing a lie. Obama, passes a law making it legal for our government to lie to its citizens while Russia eliminated the false illusion of choice to produce the same results. It’s only a matter of maintaining perception from the viewer’s outlook..
Case in point. Many of the American citizens believed the words “no taxation without representation”. Perception was that we were selecting our own representation when, in fact, this representation was being selected by members of a criminal enterprise through a fabricated process designed to produce an illusion of choice.
We now have the midterm elections approaching. With many in the political sphere trying to tell us that the fabricated process has been weakened enough to allow for a relatively fair election, if we all vote.
I would like to see no one in Ukraine killed or hurt by Russia’s actions because my perception is being filtered through my own view of morality. Many of the people we are dealing with have a very different view of right and wrong. Zelenskyy wants us to believe that he is not leaving because he cares for the people of Ukraine. Is it a generated, perception, or the truth? Where does the truth begin and end?
It’s not just the document below. Our perception is being filtered.
I include in your statement about corruption, the Faux Administration in Washington, DC, & those supporting it.
I just saw all this is because of years & years of Ukrainian aggression & bombing against the separatist regions. Who do you believe anymore??????????????
Bidens administration is covering their posterior. Burdens corrupt regime doesn’t want Zelensky giving Putin the goods on the Bidens and their Criminal Cabal (other leading democrats and Bureaucrats) in The Washington Swamp. Why would Ukraine want to protect Biden when he and his Washington friends have “picked clean” the Country of Ukraine for decades.
hey zelenskyy, how’s the view from under the bus?
Biden seems hysterically intent on beginning WWIII.
What legally can be done to remove him if necessary?
25th amendment.
Would require his cabinet admitting he’s mentally unfit.
But then we would just get the cacking Camel
A coup.
Biden is such a fool. If it weren’t for him, Ukraine wouldn’t be having to fight a war. Biden is an SOB who needs to kick the bucket soon and take his place in HeII.
