Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is interviewed by Furrowed Brow. Within the first question, Tapper asks for an example of a concession that Russia agreed to. Witkoff outlined a major set of concessions, leaving surprised Furrowed to say “huh.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the big picture of what is possible and what challenges remain as President Trump tries to negotiate a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
Keep in mind as we watch all these interviews by Rubio, it was only about six months ago when the U.S Secretary of State admitted the Ukraine conflict was a proxy war between the U.S and Russia. With President Trump extracting the U.S. from that entanglement, NATO and the EU have stepped in to retain the conflict. WATCH:

SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO: Good morning. Thank you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Vladimir Putin did not give President Trump the ceasefire he sought. And now Putin says the root causes of the conflict have to be resolved in a peace agreement. Isn’t the root cause the fact that Russia invaded in the first place?

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Apparently, the EU is worried that Zelenskyy could screw things up for their Ukraine interests, so handlers or minders are being dispatched along with him just in case. Finnish President Alexander Stubb and NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte are among the names being discussed as chaperones for the Ukraine President.
Additionally, French President Emmanuel Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer are planning a teleconference Sunday as the “coalition of the willing” brainstorms the best way to avoid a Zelenskyy capitulation to the terms and conditions outlined by President Vladimir Putin.
With BlackRock and J.P.Morgan prepositioned to control the Ukraine Recovery and Reinvestment Bank {LINK}, the coalition of the willing want U.S. troops to backstop the terms of a potential peace agreement. The banks and financial beneficiaries need the insurance provided by the U.S military.
Ultimately, banking interests are the stakeholders in the future, and the U.K, France and German political officials represent the strategists in place to protect the interests of the banks. Not coincidentally, this is classic -albeit inverted- fascism.
