Let’s go through the peace deals Zelenskyy rejected. • Istanbul agreement, 2022 Ukraine needed to refuse NATO accession, reduce the army, Russia would withdraw from the Kyiv reg., possibly from the Kharkiv, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions. At that point the scale of destruction was still limited and the number of dead was far lower. In April 2022 Zelenskyy declined the deal. • End of 2022 Russian forces withdrew from part of the Kherson region. Zelenskyy traveled to meet Biden and, acc. to my sources, later confirmed by Mr. Blinken in the New York Times, persuaded the WH to continue the war. The precise terms of any proposed deal remain unknown, but sources indicate there was readiness to declare at least a ceasefire. • Beginning of 2023 Through unofficial channels between the United States and Russia, an understanding took shape: Putin agreed to withdraw to the borders that existed before the full-scale invasion—freeing nearly everything conquered that year—in exchange for Ukraine’s refusal of NATO accession and recognition of Crimea as Russian. Zelenskyy and Yermak refused. Since then nearly a million people have been killed or wounded, several million have become refugees, parts of the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been occupied, more of Zaporizhzhia has been taken, Kherson lies in ruins, the Chernihiv and Sumy regions face constant shelling, Kyiv itself has become almost a front-line city, the energy system has been destroyed, businesses cannot operate, exports have stalled, and the country is degrading. • July 2024 An arrangement that began with an energy ceasefire, modeled on the Istanbul understandings and mediated through the Middle East. While negotiations were under way, Zelenskyy also planned the Kursk operation, which ultimately disrupted all the arrangements. • March 2025 After the Oval Office clash between Trump and Zelenskyy, European leaders gathered in London in early March. The British government stated that a number of options were on the table and that Ukraine had to choose. As always, nothing came of it. Whether Putin was prepared each time to implement any agreements remains unknown, yet on several occasions he carried out what he had promised. Does this remove his responsibility for the deaths, the horrors, and the destruction in Ukraine? No. But the country is degrading, the state apparatus is degrading, and corruption finishes what Putin’s missiles, drones, and bombs did not destroy. Inhumanity has effectively become a state strategy and a national ideology promoted at every turn. Ukraine simply cannot win this way—there are neither economic, nor demographic, nor any other grounds for it. Therefore, if Zelenskyy does not agree to a deal with realistic terms now, Ukraine will be forced to capitulate. And that is deeply alarming, because it can actually cost the country its independence and sovereignty.

I confirm the 2023 peace-treaty plan that was leaked to the FT. What the draft envisaged: - Russia withdraws its troops from most of the four oblasts it had just declared “annexed.” - The new line of demarcation runs roughly along the line as of February 24, 2022: Crimea and the part of Donbas that Russia controlled before the full-scale invasion. - Ukraine recognizes Russian control over Crimea. - Ukraine grants Russia an unobstructed land corridor to Crimea. - The ceasefire regime is guaranteed by NATO countries that provide protection for Ukraine. - Russia begins negotiations with the US on its own security guarantees. From my side, I’ll add a few insider details that few people know about. The plan was discussed NOT ONLY by Rodnyansky: the key figure was ABRAMOVICH. Moreover, Russia was ready to give up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as well. And the 300 billion in frozen assets was to go toward rebuilding all of Ukraine, that is, together with the occupied territories. As for Crimea: we were not required to recognize it as Russian, only to recognize Russia’s control over it. In other words, we acknowledge that right now it is under Russian control (which is how it is). We were also required to adopt a law banning the return of Crimea by military means. The land corridor to Crimea, a highway and a railway, was to be built at Russia’s expense. The hardest question was how to guard it. That is why the Russians were ready to give up Melitopol, but not Tokmak: they feared we would cut the corridor with artillery. Zelensky rejected this proposal at the time.

Heute ist der erste Tag seit Jahrhunderten, an dem Soldaten in Europa unsere Kirchen, unser christliches Erbe vor den Horden des Islamismus schützen müssen. Das waren Angela Merkel und die zerstörerische EU-Ideologie der offenen Grenzen.

Ursula, no one cares. This morning, 0900 Strassburg time, a key debate in the European Parliament regarding the outcomes of the “critical” European Council meeting just recently held 15/16 OCT. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is set to speak. She enters a nearly empty plenary chamber. A telling scene, preceding a debate on pivotal issues in European policy. The EU isn’t even in charge of itself anymore. America First means making some serious decisions about unwinding the American Empire from its long standing and binding ties to Europe and whatever we’re doing in Ukraine.

Dear Elon Musk @elonmusk , I am reaching out to you as a Ukrainian who has been personally persecuted by President Volodymyr Zelensky for criticizing his government’s corruption and the forced mobilization of ordinary people to the front lines, while, as I allege, members of his own family have not been mobilized or sent to fight. You are absolutely right about how Ukraine’s political elite, which has maintained ties with George Soros for decades, is profiting from the war alongside certain Western elites. As a man of integrity, you could help bring an end to this war by recommending one concrete measure to U.S. President Donald Trump—one that could help pave the way for a genuine peace-oriented political movement to come to power in Ukraine and prevent more Ukrainians from losing their lives. That measure is the introduction of U.S. sanctions against what I call Ukraine’s “war party”: the political establishment that continues to enrich itself through the war while resisting a peaceful settlement. These sanctions should include freezing their assets and bank accounts in the United States and internationally, targeting their cryptocurrency holdings, and revoking their U.S. visas, including those held by their family members where legally justified. While ordinary Ukrainians are being sent to their deaths, the families of senior officials continue to enjoy comfortable lives abroad. For example, the family of Rustem Umerov, a close associate of Zelensky, reportedly resides in the United States, including his brother. The same concerns apply to those commonly referred to as Soros-backed activists and grant-funded organizations. Many individuals associated with these circles have reportedly received exemptions from mobilization under the current Ukrainian government, while publicly advocating for the continuation of the war and opposing both you and President Trump. I believe targeted U.S. sanctions against those responsible for prolonging the conflict and profiting from it could help undermine the financial interests sustaining the war and create stronger incentives for peace. I would also urge you to ask President Trump to raise the issue of political prisoners with Zelensky and demand the release of those imprisoned for their political views, calls for peace, and support for Donald Trump. Among them are Ukrainian MP Yevhen Shevchenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky, who, according to their supporters, have spent more than three years in detention because of their criticism of the pro-war political establishment and their advocacy for peace. These individuals represent voices calling for peace in Ukraine, yet they have been silenced through imprisonment. Their cases deserve serious international attention and scrutiny. I, too, was forced to leave Ukraine because of threats, as have many other Ukrainians who feared for their safety. President Trump should finally stand up for Ukraine’s genuine political opposition—not the nominal opposition represented in the Verkhovna Rada today, which, in my view, largely supports the same pro-war establishment. Ukraine needs a real political alternative, one that puts peace, human life, democratic freedoms, and the country’s future ahead of the interests of those who benefit from a prolonged conflict. If you are interested in learning more, I would be glad to provide detailed information, supporting materials, and further context. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, A Ukrainian citizen advocating for peace and democratic change

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people. The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.
