After the historic summit in Alaska, Donald J. Trump and his administration took a step back while Russian and Ukrainians negotiated peace terms.
But, to the surprise of no one, things are not progressing well.
Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky uses many Euro-Globalist leaders’ support to keep changing his stance on the talks – to the point now where he has vowed NOT to accept any of the conditions that his losing side will have to put up with.
As for the Russian side, they are in no rush to settle the peace, since they are making territorial advances faster than at any point of the war after 2022.
Having said that, Vladimir Putin and his team have presented the very same conditions they have since the failed 2022 Istanbul peace talks.
Moscow demands protection for the Russian-speaking populations, neutrality for Kiev (no NATO, no EU), a strict limit to the size of their armed forces, and, of course, there’s a territorial component.
In this aspect, the Russians have lowered their ask: Ukrainian troops would have to leave the areas in Donetsk and Luhansk that they still hold – but not Zaporozhie and Kherson.
But while the peace process seems stuck, on the other side of the world, President Trump is prompted non-stop by the mainstream media to provide comment to the ‘play-by-play’ of the negotiations.
Unsurprisingly, he has become impatient about that.
So, today (26), during the cabinet meeting, Trump was asked about a statement made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, indicating that Moscow will not sign any peace agreement with Zelensky.
The reason is that he is considered illegitimate, since his presidential mandate has expired in May 2024.

When asked about that, Trump responded with an impatience that was aimed not only at Russians and Ukrainians, but also at the relentless efforts by the MSM to have a negative agenda reverberating: ‘It’s all bullshit, OK?’
REPORTER: “This past weekend, Sergey Lavrov was saying that Putin will not sign a peace deal with Zelensky because Russia views him as illegitimate…”
