We Just Got Further Away From Peace in Ukraine—Not Closer
Thank You for Standing With Ukraine
https://ukrainesupportbridge.com/
A large-scale Russian missile attack on Kyiv is unfolding as Donald Trump claims we are closer than ever to peace in Ukraine. But after Steve Witkoff's meeting with Vladimir Putin, what was actually accomplished? And why does it appear that Putin is gaining the upper hand in negotiations with Washington?
The release of American citizen Stephen Hubbard has produced an extraordinary exchange, with Witkoff calling Putin a “humanitarian” and Vice President JD Vance defending his remarks. We examine what was actually said during the Putin-Witkoff meeting, including discussions about Russian diesel supplies, economic cooperation, and a potential ceasefire. Russia claims diesel prices dropped by 5–6%, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk directly blames Trump for fuel prices rather than Ukraine's strikes on legitimate Russian targets.
We also examine Trump's troubling statements about Starlink and sanctions, questions surrounding Jared Kushner's reported participation in the Moscow discussions, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's powerful warning about Russia's efforts to destabilize European society. Merz argues that Ukraine's surrender would amount to a surrender for Europe itself.
Finally, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy outlines the possibility of trilateral negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States. Discussions could include a ceasefire, attacks on energy infrastructure, prisoner exchanges, and security guarantees, but no meeting date has been finalized. While Trump celebrates supposed progress, the central question remains: Is Washington moving toward a genuine peace agreement, or simply allowing Vladimir Putin to strengthen his negotiating position?
