Chancellor Friedrich Merz, President Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister Kier Starmer and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in London to discuss their collective next steps in their plan for opposition to Russia.
Politico is reporting that Germany is going to replace the United States as the direct contact for negotiations with Russia; that’s according to a spokesperson for Merz. However, if you read the actual printout from their collective agreement there is nothing of the sort mentioned [SEE HERE].
Instead, what actually exists within the statement are five terms they have agreed upon in order to start direct discussions between Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin. At least two of the terms are non-starters for Russia:
[…] Conditions that would need to be in place for a just and lasting peace.
-
- First, a stop to the fighting. They called on President Putin to agree to an immediate and complete ceasefire.
- Second, the current line of contact should be the starting point for negotiations. International borders must not be changed by force, and Ukraine’s sovereign right to choose its own security arrangements and alliances must be fully respected.
- Third, Ukraine must have robust and legally binding security guarantees in place once a ceasefire enters into force, building on commitments made in Berlin in December 2025 and Paris in January 2026. This includes the deployment of the Multinational Force – Ukraine.
- Fourth, Russian assets will remain immobilised until Russia ceases its war of aggression and compensates Ukraine for the damage caused by the war.
- Fifth, that European security interests must be safeguarded in any deal. Elements of any negotiation related to the EU and NATO would need the consent of the EU and its Member States and NATO Allies respectively.

The #3, #4 and #5 points are not going to go anywhere.
Germany, France, the U.K and/or EU participants are not going to put troops on the ground in Ukraine without United States security guarantees. President Trump has already rejected that proposal on three occasions.
The Russian sovereign fund that was seized by the EU is not the property of Vladimir Putin; it is wealth belonging to the Russian people and President Putin will not accept that term. Additionally, two-thirds of the world has been against that seizure bolstering Russia’s position.
The fifth point is laughable. The EU collective in Brussels is going to be required to give consent to any peace agreement? Highly doubtful Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin would even entertain that condition. Ukraine is not an EU member state, and Ukraine is not a NATO member.
Why would the EU put themselves into the conflict resolution when Ukraine is not in the EU. From a brutally obvious and pragmatic Russian position, this makes no sense. However, I would look for Putin to do something funny with this, like force the EU to adopt Ukraine first as a ‘put up – or shut up‘ type challenge.
Putin knows the people of Europe do not want the corrupt nation of Ukraine as part of their wealth draining operation.
Hey, at least the ‘coalition of the willing’ is now begging for an audience with Putin.
Weaklings making demands that only say guarantee Me, Mine, Waste of breath, waste of time.
A foreign policy and security rethink in Europe is long overdue.
The Lancaster House ‘coalition of the willing’ is not it. Even Starmer admitted in his post-summit statement that ‘to succeed’, this effort must have strong US backing’, though with Europe doing ‘the heavy lifting’.
It is thus a second-rate variant of the same old thinking – politicians groomed in a NATO mindset acting like a rock band that thinks it can top the charts without a lead singer.
It’s surely more than time to change the song. How about trying ‘Give peace a chance’?
Peace sells, but who’s buying?
Not these guys…

Who still listens to the troika—Macron, Merz, and Starmer? These figures, completely out of touch with reality, have lost all credibility both in their own countries and on the global geopolitical stage.« Soldiers, not talks will decide Russia’s war in Ukraine, Lavrov says https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/soldiers-not-talks-will-decide-russias-war-in-ukraine-lavrov-says/ar-AA256XiTRussian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticised an open letter that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, labelling it rude and saying guns will do the talking.
Sergey Lavrov specifically pointed out on Monday that Moscow is unhappy that the letter was “circulated around the world”, claiming that “polite people do not behave this way”.
Lavrov also claimed that for the Kremlin it “indicates that Ukraine has no interest in negotiation,” despite Kyiv’s numerous attempts to initiate talks with Moscow.
Russia’s foreign minister echoed Putin’s earlier statement that “it is not negotiations but the actions of those involved” on the front lines of Russia’s war “that are crucial to the outcome” of Moscow’s full-scale invasion.
Last week, Ukraine’s president released an open letter to Putin, proposing direct talks between the two presidents.
Putin rejected the offer during the St Petersburg International Economic Forum last Friday, saying he “sees no point in meeting Zelenskyy”.
Zelenskyy’s initiative was later echoed by the leaders of France, Germany and the UK who together with Ukraine’s president issued a joint statement on Sunday outlining five conditions they said were necessary for a “just and lasting peace”. »
Please point to the one who is not a personal creep.
Starmer? Maybe. Probably not. Nah.
They all attend the same parties. Disgusting.
For all the words of how polite Europe is, Russian far surpasses the manners of all the brain dead leaders in Europe.
Even the disrespect for a world leader like Putin is shameful.
The EU is the reason the US wants out and leaving nato behind
They (“the coalition of the willing”) keep proffering up the same points; all losers.
i’m so tired of reading about the Ukraine-Russia conflict, especially the Western media spin. How any Western country agrees to continue funding this waste of time, energy and manpower is beyond me! Just stop…especially you, the U.S.!
The European leaders are just doing what their owners tell them to do.
End
That’s a big 10-4!
Give us some names of owners.
Rothschilds, Morgans, Warburgs, Rockefellers. Untouchable.
Who owns these? Somebody must but all you will ever discover from their respective websites is who manages them. A very different thing than who owns them. You have to peel back the layers and do a deep-dive into history and how banks operate to put the puzzle together.
They’re just front-groups with palatable descriptions to mask what their purposes are, which is to make lots of money off death and destruction, then go in and fund cleaning up the mess and rebuilding it (at interest to the countries, of course) and *redevelop* it. A euphemism for socially engineer to their liking. Then, rinse and repeat as desired to keep the money flowing.

Isaiah 45
Cyrus, the Lord’s Chosen One
45
This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, his anointed one,
whose right hand he will empower.
Before him, mighty kings will be paralyzed with fear.
Their fortress gates will be opened,
never to shut again.
2
This is what the Lord says:
“I will go before you, Cyrus,
and level the mountains.[a]
I will smash down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
3
And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—
secret riches.
I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
4
“And why have I called you for this work?
Why did I call you by name when you did not know me?
It is for the sake of Jacob my servant,
Israel my chosen one.
5
I am the Lord;
there is no other God.
I have equipped you for battle,
though you don’t even know me,
6
so all the world from east to west
will know there is no other God.
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
Good is the Word of the Lord!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Gipper.
Here are some of the names of the Federal Reserve’s major shareholders. The Federal Reserve remains a private bank—neither federal nor a reserve bank. Created by private banks and interests, for private banks and interests. The puppet masters behind the scenes. https://fr.investing.com/equities/the-federal-bank-ownershipAbolish the Fed: The Root of Inflation, Debt, and the Destruction of the Dollar.The Creature from Jekyll Island” is a 1994 book by G. Edward Griffin exposing the secret 1910 meeting of bankers and politicians on Jekyll Island, Georgia, at which the Federal Reserve was conceived, and documenting how the resulting institution serves banking interests rather than the public.
END the FED.
Get out of the UN.
Get the UN out of the US.
Revalue the GOLD on reserve.
Get out of Europe.
Demand repayment of debts.
America First!
Of course the Federal Reserve Banks are private as they evolved from the National Banking Act system. But what’s important from a policy perspective is the Board of Governors and the Open Market Committee.
That doesn’t excuse them at all.
As in the California parody all the Elections in Europe are rigged, so the funding happens regardless of the People’s desire.
Same puppeteers.
Same show.
The EU & GB with Ukraine are such bufoonery, but the Ukie Elitists did get some MEGA Homes & Yachts courtesy of the USA CONgre$$$$$’s Largesse

“Europe is overrun by corrupt and weak leaders.”
And perverts who are puppets.
Pull back the curtain.
Somehow I don’t think these people have a grasp on reality. Donetsk is done.

I guess Zelinsky is getting desperate when he is wearing a suit and shirt albeit all black without a tie. Can’t see whether he is wearing tennis shoes . Really don’t understand why all these men in are even relating to him.
Not writing another word because I am enraged by just looking at this picture. WTF? It’s like Biden= Zelinsky.
Zelinsky = Obama.
OBTW Eric Holder is the real bastard who got and gets things done.
The dork club.

These points are there specifically because the EU have no intention of stopping poking the Bear. That’s because, by definition, Russia is bad, m’kay? If they keep “F-ing” around, they are going to “FO” and they will have earned every bit of it! I hope that POTUS has already told these clowns that if they start a war with Russia, they are on their own.
Frankly, I can’t believe how patient and level headed Putin has been, in light of the EU’s ongoing provocations. I’m not under any illusions that Putin is a good guy, quite the contrary. But, I at least respect him … unlike this EU clown show. I have no respect for any of those losers!
America should just say it’s not our problem you deal with it don’t contact us anymore. You’re on your own kids daddy has spoken.🤣
The US CONgress is singing a different tune…
Daddy should veto everything & force them to declare war or shut up. Shove that war powers act up their collective buts.
Agreed.
We’re still providing the coordinates for targets deep within the RF for the UAF. This is crucial. No disclaimers about our support for Ukraine are credible as long as our fingers guide the missiles and drones.
I hope they had the decency to put their cocaine baggies away before they let the cameras in this time.
Normal man explains Britain’s Problems eloquently in 10 minutes. Applies to every Western country.
Well presented. How many people could speak like this off the cuff? Not me.
While the UK may not have a Second Amendment, they do still have pitchforks, don’t they?
Give that man a pitchfork, and let’s get it on!
Now they need a voice to speak to their migrant population, to convince them that the white, global banking cartel brought them here only to get us to kill each other while they steal everything else.
If someone can make that case convincingly, and get both citizens and migrants walking shoulder-to-shoulder into the City of London–and carrying pitchforks!–that might force some powerful people to at least jump to Plan G or H.
Why do so many of the rich, very rich Muslims have all of these financial ties to at least, London? Why did GB breakup the Ottoman Empire and stick the tribes in various Countries that the tribes don’t recognize and put the Jewish people back in the middle of it all and say, “Good Luck”?
He is articulate and does credit Hillary for killing Gaddafi but the EU WANTED all of these Muslims. The Muslims are everywhere and allowed to obtain free everything to murder and rape and destroy because of Netanyahu/Israel just exists?
Excellent thanks for the post
No ‘direct discussions’ then, as Putin will not take any of those 5 points seriously. I rather like Sundance’s last thought here, that Putin will insist that Ukraine become part of the EU prior to any negotiations.
Those EU idiots and Ursula wants to do that. Ukraine is the mafias arm of the EU. Just wait until the do it. 3/4s of the EU will say he’ll no. But they will push it. It’s not like the EU is corrupt enough
Three EU/NATO nation eunuchs.
All in precarious political positions in their own countries and none of which will act without the backing of US security guarantees after denying support for US/Israeli operations against Iran. They aren’t going to get anything done except fight to the last Ukrainian. Nobody is taking their demands seriously. In fact I doubt even they are taking their demands seriously.
They have to do something to stay visual. Wonder how long Putin laughed after he read it.
At least Putin protects his country
It is really just a real side show circus clown act.😂
Those flags all combined remind me of some pride thing…
I’d almost like to see a press release showing the US, China, India, and Japan standing beside Russia, as a Coalition of the Impatient.
I know Europe has long coveted Russia’s land and mineral resources… but now that Europe has no energy and no industry, what would they do with it?
That was exactly the point of the EU. They really don’t understand Russia and what they will do for their homeland. They saved the world in WWII
Old Europe is Russophobic by nature.
It’s always cooked up “reasons” to go after the Bear. It’s bred in the bone. We’re not obliged to indulge their fantasies
The focal point of the Russophobia is the UK. I think it started when George III asked Catherine II for assistance in reigning in his recalcitrant subjects in North America, the empress said “Nyet”. One of the first entities that recognized American independence was the Russian Empire, which poured salt into the wound. John Bull has had a major weed up his butt vis-a-vis the Russian bear ever since.
There will not be peace because there is still some money to be made.
Ooohhhhh Ahhhh the council of cucksters with not a normal acceptable level of testosterone between the 4 of them.
Point 2 is self-contradictory: the starting point is the current line of contact, but the ending point has to be that Russia concedes all of its gains (no acquisition of territory by force).
How does an alliance against Russia think that they are going to act as negotiators?
They should be worried about getting nuked, as should Ukraine.
Does anyone doubt that Ukraine would use nukes if it had them? Russia has them, Ukraine is attacking deep inside Russia, and Europe is talking about assisting Ukraine and taking Crimea back, which the Russians took from the Ottoman empire 150 years ago.
From the start this war has been unwinnable for Ukraine because if they ever get to the point where they are actually winning, they’re going to get nuked, and Germany right along with them if they are determined to make themselves part of it.
Payback for the massacre of the Light Brigade?
Bravo Sundance. I’ve been reading and studying about Russia and Ukraine since the whole western plan started in 2014. The Russian people and government deserves a break from these clowns. I hope in the end all the clowns including Zelensky is dragged to jail publicly with all their inept EU conspirators
There are reasons why Ukraine is not a member of EU or NATO. Why do they have any say in this?
Such obvious idiots — this is embarrassing.
” At least two of the terms are non-starters for Russia:”
Starting with proposals that will go nowhere serves to prolong the process and gives the “diplomats” the appearance of actually doing something.
Makes their subservient populations think the honchos are earning their luxurious lifestyles.
