Yesterday, Sunday night, the U.S technical delegation met with representatives from Ukraine to get deeper into specifics of what Ukraine wants for a ceasefire. The meetings are taking place in Saudi Arabia.
The Ukrainian delegation was led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. Heorhii Tykhyi, foreign ministry spokesperson, said on Friday the Ukrainian and American sides were due “to clarify the modalities, the nuances of possible different ceasefire regimes, how to monitor them, how to control them, in general, what is included in their scope”.
Following the meeting with the Ukrainian delegation who, together with elements of the CIA/EU and NATO – visibly appear to hold a desire to continue the war (and funding therein), the U.S delegation is scheduled to meet with their Russian counterparts today (Monday).
SAUDI ARABIA – […] Trump said on Saturday that efforts to stop further escalation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict were “somewhat under control”. The U.S. hopes to reach a broad ceasefire within weeks, targeting a truce agreement by April 20, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the planning.
Russian and U.S. experts meeting in Saudi Arabia on Monday are due to discuss ways to ensure the safety of shipping in the Black Sea, the Kremlin has said.
Despite all the diplomatic activity, Russia and Ukraine have both reported continued strikes, while Russian forces have also continued to advance slowly in eastern Ukraine, a region Moscow claims to have annexed. (read more)
As soon as details can be worked out, hopefully sooner rather than later, President Trump can then schedule a face-to-face meeting with the unelected leader of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
With everything currently happening in Turkey –HOT MESS– we can well imagine President Trump wants to speed up this timeline of a ceasefire in Ukraine so that he can enlist Russian President Vladimir Putin on other matters.
A looming realignment is on the horizon in the middle east as Turkey, Syria, Iran and Machiavellian Qatar along with the CIA are likely to form a coalition (pro Muslim Brotherhood group). This creates an opportunity for President Trump, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Russia to form a counterbalance alliance.
Russia and the USA working together in the middle east would be a game changer.
Vladimir Putin already has good relations with Mohammed bin Salman (Saudi) and Abdel Fattah al-Sisi (Egypt). Putin can create the ability for President Trump to bridge the diplomatic gap with Iran. On the other side of that dynamic, Qatar, Syria, Israel, the CIA and Turkey would not like a Russia-USA peace alignment like that.
Of course, all of this geopolitical positioning is contingent upon getting the issues within the Ukraine-Russia conflict resolved quickly. However, the NATO group (sans USA), the European Union, United Kingdom and CIA are in no hurry to resolve the conflict, and the officials (including Zelenskyy) within the Ukraine government do not want their financial indulgences to end.
The technical negotiation teams may be discussing the challenging stuff about how to secure a ceasefire, but the background motives for the Ukrainian elements are not necessarily aligned with peace as their best personal option.
The resolve to this proxy war with Russia cannot come without free elections in Ukraine. Internationally monitored if necessary, one day one vote. Zelensky is a thug and puppet to unelected Brussels contingent fighting to keep their global dominance investment and ideology (WEF/climate bludgeon) alive. Well, that game ended on Nov. 5 2024. We are on a completely different timeline trajectory that leads to the next golden age. Any furtherance of war is Intelligence propaganda.
Trump is the Peace President. Stop the killing. Stop nuclear proliferation. Balance trade to include America, reciprocal tariffs or no tariffs, free will choice and equality. This is what the Abraham Accords is about. Each nation must figure out how to rid themselves of their “deep state swamp” – CCP China, Ayatollah Iran, Brussels EU, Lula Brazil, Netanyahu Israel. It’s not the people of nations. It’s corrupt entrenched leadership, like Biden et al. We all see the difficulty in that.
Collectively, globally, we the people of all nations are all fighting the same evil entrenched in global dominance ideology. National populism must overcome all of this and America is leading the way. Evil cannot survive the Golden Age. Period.
Freedom is not what you want, it is what you unburden.
I don’t understand how a CIA that is counter to Trumps wants is able to operate with Trumps CIA chief involved…Wouldn’t these counter agents be found out and let go?…It would seem they’d have to be senior level and quite visable.
I say we leave NATO to become the Western European Alliance and deal with The Eastern border with Russia in whatever way they think is best, without the help of the CIA or the US State Department. We should just simply leave those morons to their own devices. Of course, we know that would lead to Europe aligning with China militarily, and with the CIA still in the middle of their private war with Russia.
In other words, the situation over there is hopeless and getting the CIA the hell out of there and focused on the destruction of Red China instead looks like something the Deep State just cannot bring themselves out of the 20th Century to understand. We don’t like either Russia or China, but the balance of power between those two totalitarian countries has completely shifted to China. The USA had better understand that our future of being a free Country now depends on a re-balancing of that struggle. Europe would make a great partner in that balance, but they are obviously happier with Totalitarianism than they have ever admitted.
Our internal problems are becoming the big distraction Communism has always needed for the advance of one world top down Government. We are between the proverbial rock and a hard place as long as we don’t dissolve our outdated CIA and remake our outdated State Department. All of President Trump’s efforts will result in failure if we don’t, and all of the Demcommies are united on that utopian ideal. We will have to destroy the Demcommies in 2026 and again in 2028 as long as this lever on our politics remains.
All I know is – Trump and Putin are smarter than the rest. However, our prayers are required.
I am waiting for Trump to stop ALL American arms going into Ukraine. When that happens, then we know it is over. If it does not happen, then we know CIA is still in control.
MAGA
“The only way the war ends” is to off Z.
A bloodthirsty assertion thats also untrue.
Well, we all have opinions…am thinking maybe he might enjoy the sunny warmth of Gitmo, sans the air conditioning?
Does Ukraine even have anyone suitable for fighting in a war?
Going deep on life and death…no its not right. But most of us here are just thinking forward and speculating inwardly?
Trump wants peace and prosperity. He knows he is only one man with less than 4 years to show people this is the way: peace and prosperity.
Many are aligned against him, and all know the 4 year window is closing on him. He is working uphill, against great odds; but he will not allow the United States to be weaker on his watch. That’s his floor while he pursues Make America Great Again.
President Trump has to know that the ONLY way to end the war is eliminate the $$$ and weapons to Ukraine otherwise they will continue to force their troops to fight and die!
Yep, the weapons have to stop.
very brave American reporter…..past 10+ yrs….
Hook, Line, and Sinker
I wonder if the President and MBS and Trump have discussed the whole Vegas “Incident”?
Its always been obvious which side Witkoffs on.
He’s always been on PDJT’s side
And before that, he was on DJTs side.
In this case, those who seek, quickly find.
The thing I can’t understand in any of this is what the CIA or the IC in general has to gain here. I get that there’s a lot of money to be made in a war, but at the same time, I didn’t know a single person during my time in the military that wanted any armed conflict to continue. We wanted to end the bad guys and go home.
What is driving the average CIA officer to want, support, or advocate for the continuation of the bloodshed? They’re at risk too, in some cases with spouses and children along for the ride. What do they stand to gain from this?
When you’re a hammer everything looks like a nail!

Its their money laundromat. Their playground of mischief. Organs, children, biological agents, drugs, hookers, its got it all. Money comes out of your check, washes through. Some gets back to them.

I pray for peace that President Trump wants but the Ukraine globalist cash cow little runt and his POS Ukraine country will hold onto there globalist cash cow as long as they can.
According to Alex Christoforou (link below) and the posts he shows, the meeting with Ukrainian negotiators lasted 40 minutes and that time was mostly to translate documents. More or less, the Ukrainians were given documents prepared by the US on the Black Sea ceasefire that the US wants and there were no real sharing of information or negotiation.

If the Ukrainians are foolish enough to be drawn out into the open re their desire for the war to continue, Trump is in a stronger position to threaten a complete cutting off of all support for Ukraine. Heads Trump wins, tails they lose.
Entirely a reflection of their disinterest in peace.
They’ve proven what they do with an opportunity to seek it.
Turkey is a hot mess!
Definitely agree!

My guess it is not too long before a future conservative, MAGA candidate for President gets arrested and the SC votes 5-4 that they are not allowed to run.
Its coming based on what we are seeing of late and the lack of upholding the Constitution from rouge judges.
IMO we have definitely hit the Constitutional crisis marker thanks to Roberts.
Secret Supremacist Socialist Society member Roberts’ sins have only just begun to surface.
To presume omnipotence is to grant omnipotence.
I just keep getting this gut feeling , that the globalist and Zelensky want nuclear weapons inside of Ukraine that can eventually make Ukraine capable of dominating all the countries around it, especially when you look at the location of Ukraine!
Remember at one time Zelenskyy was asking for nuclear weapons for his country, which does not make sense at all!
IIRC, at one time, following the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine HAD Nuclear weopons, left behind by the Soviets when they withdrew.
Russia, the EU and the US signed a document, guranteeing Ukraines sovereignity (LOL!) in order to reassure them so they would give up the weopons…
Way to go, strike a blow AGAINST non-proliferatiin, as (knowing about this) no country that HAS nukes, is going to be persuded to relinquish them.
Had Ukraine cherished that sovereignty above greed and hate they’d be quite secure in it.
So they will become a well behaved landlocked little rump state with neighbors keen to monitor their Nazi problems.
All explosives range stops when their fuel is depleted. A 50 ton bomb stops when 50 tonnes of TNT is depleted. So what is this so called nuclear bomb made from?
I posted earlier the Russian MoD announcement of a drone attack on energy infrastructure by Ukraine this morning. The MoD Russia posted an addendum to that post detailing attacks over the past day or two:
“In addition, on the evening of March 23 of this year, from 21:00 to 21:50, Russian air defense systems repelled an attack by the Kiev regime using four Ukrainian UAVs on the Glebovskoye gas condensate field on Cape Tarkhankut in Crimea , which is used to supply gas to residents and the economy of the Russian peninsula.
On March 22 of this year, between 5:00 and 8:45, the Kiev regime carried out two strikes using UAVs on the Valuyki gas distribution station in the village of Shvedunovka in the Belgorod region , as a result of which the technological equipment of the gas distribution station was damaged.”
This is in addition to the destruction of the pumping station in Kursk and one other attack on March 16 immediately after the ceasefire had been agreed upon by Russia.
In other words, Zelensky (plus CIA/MI6, NATO) isn’t going to stop attacks on energy infrastructure or anything else. A big attack was directed toward Crimea last night with air and sea drones (UAV’s and BEK’s) – Black Sea region – immediately after the Ukrainian negotiators arrived back from Riyadh with their marching instructions which was supposed to include a ceasefire in the Black Sea.
I don’t believe the cease fire has been anything other than widely discussed and reported. As of yesterday, Alex Mercouris was saying that he’s not been able to find anything to indicate the agreement has been finalized, with specified start and stop times.
Not following closely, but has there been any indications that Russia is pulling back operations, other than that one he cancelled right after the call?
No. The Russian missiles are working on industrial and manufacturing plants, locations of weapons depots, and troop deployment points. There are some places where there are pauses for rotations.
The Ukrainian (AFU) has been pushing through in spots along the line of combat. They have invaded Belgorod and are holding ground on the Russian side while the Russians are trying to dislodge them. They still hold a tiny part of Kursk while the Russians are attacking into Sumy region of Ukraine – next to Kursk.
Be gentle my friend.
Can’t help but wonder why the CIA is still playing the ‘color’. Shouldn’t Ratcliffe and his staff be using a hammer to stop them?
Hydra is not so easily commanded as that.
It is a global monster, in service to a greater global monster.
ZDS.
Tav, the Alpha and Omega of Make America Look At This, the General of Inanity.
The talks between Russia and US teams in Riyadh have been going on for more than 10 hours and have resumed after a third break.
It would be better and cheaper for US tax payers not to go to war against Iran.
Exactly! Nobody in Iran ever indicted President Trump 96 times!
Never let anyone tell you who to hate.
Nor who to war against on their behalf.
Putin knows that Zelensky–and whoever is behind him pulling the strings–will sabotage any deal.
Just put yourself in Putin’s shoes… He was winning. Undeniably slowly and at a cost, but still winning.
The United States has already exhausted all its arsenals, like financial sanctions. Our team has no leverage. The Russians have adapted. They are tough people, and they have survived far worse. Plus they are deeply offended by the decade-long lies and mistreatment at the hands of NATO. And the Europeans are constantly helping to unite them.
“Plus they are deeply offended by the decade-long lies and mistreatment at the hands of NATO. And the Europeans are constantly helping to unite them.”
You’ve identified what I have found to be two major disconnects that my highly educated leftist friends refuse to believe:
That the blowback the USA is experiencing is a result of decades of unwanted meddling abroad. Seriously, who among your friends actually thought the overseas wars were and are a good idea? Why didn’t more people believe that the US Army should be along the USA’s Southern Border?
It was always a good idea to let the US Army defend the Southern Border and that is an irrefutable fact that was denied and never acted upon by Congress. Shame on all who participated in this deception and omission of common sense safety.
See the book: “Blowback” by the late Chalmers Johnson. The left so righteously believes in the importance of “their work” what they have been doing with “our tax dollars” to accomplish leftist priorities has caused immense Blowback that needs to be addressed.
That the Europeans have anything to offer America. At this point they do not. They turned off the energy required to have an industrial economy. An economy that needs to prep for war needs an industrial economy. Before Europe can built war materiel, they will first need an energy supply to support an industrial economy. Morons, Suicide, or Treason?

I don’t see anything remotely close to “war plans” in the text messages!
Wake up little operative.
Adults seeking peace talk to each other.
Agents seeking war seek to disrupt such.
My guess is Zelensky will blow anything up, either bc he’s a nut, or SBU is threatening his family. Or both.
