If Russia and Ukraine reached a ceasefire and a truce, would the EU and NATO nations of Europe not swiftly stand down themselves, rather than keep the Ukrainian resistance fighting? … Where would that leave the West?
In an interview with Reuters, Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s representative for decades, made a surprising offer. Moscow might end the Ukraine war instantly, said Peskov, if four conditions were met.
Ukraine should stop all military action, recognize Crimea as part of Russia, accept the independence of the Luhansk and Donetsk separatist enclaves, and enact a constitutional commitment to “neutrality,” which would prevent Ukraine from ever signing up with NATO.
Were this to be done, said Peskov, the war “will stop in a minute.”
As this would bring back the scenario in Ukraine to the “status quo ante” that existed prior to Putin purchased the intrusion, Peskov’s deal appeared not to be credible.
Yet, according to The New york city Times, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky “seemed remarkably open to the idea.”
Zelensky “stated he had ‘cooled down’ on signing up with NATO, saying it was clear the western alliance ‘is not prepared to accept Ukraine.'”
When it comes to Luhansk, Donetsk and Crimea, said Zelensky, “We can go over and discover a compromise on how these territories will survive on.”
Monday, Ukraine and Russia held a 4th session of peace talks, and expressions of optimism were heard from both sides.
Ukrainian mediator Mykhailo Podolyak offered that Russia is beginning to talk constructively. “I think that we will achieve some results actually in a matter of days.”
Yet, Russia’s tactical objectives, manifest in its unfolding military action, seem to go far beyond the moderate needs of Peskov.
3 weeks into this war, what do Russia’s objectives seem?

Second, divide Ukraine along the lines of the Dnieper River, which bisects the country north to south
, and develop an East Ukraine as a pro-Russian state. Third, seize and occupy the whole coast of the Sea of Azov, turn it into a Russian lake, and catch all of the Ukrainian Black Sea coast from the Donbas to Mariupol, Crimea, Kherson, Odessa and Transnistria, the last a piece
of seceded Moldovan land Moscow now controls. This would leave a landlocked rump state of west Ukraine, which would be a buffer between NATO countries Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland– and Russia-backed East Ukraine. The Wall Street Journal said Monday that Russia’s realization
of these objectives would amount success in Putin’s war:”A Ukraine divided in 2, with Russia in control of the east, and a rump, Western Ukraine cut off from the coast
may appear like a triumph to Mr. Putin– specifically if sanctions are eliminated in some cease-fire agreement.” With this type of peace in hand, Putin might then alert the NATO countries that if they assaulted East Ukraine straight, or indirectly by arming insurgents, they would face “repercussions you have never ever seen.”As no NATO nation risked war to conserve Georgia from Russia in 2008, or to save Ukraine from the
Crimean and Donbas amputations of 2014, it is not most likely NATO would run the risk of war with Russia, and a potential 3rd world war, if Russia stated a truce once it got full control of eastern Ukraine. Where would that leave the West? Enjoy the current Videos on Our Buchanan-Trump YouTube Playlist! The Americans and British would likely treat Putin as a pariah and never meet with him again. But would President Emmanuel Macron of France and Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany cut off all communication with Russia, when they have been making day-to-day
telephone call to Putin and regular check outs
, the winner of this Russia-Ukraine war appears to be China. Offered the severity of U.S. sanctions and the ostracism of Russia from the West, China is the only partner country and economy to which Moscow can turn to recoup its losses. If this war continues to unfold in a way that is slow, agonizing and awful, China and Russia are likely to establish far much better relations with each other than either has with the United States.
However how is China, which is taken part in cultural genocide versus its Uyghur minority of 10 million, a racial and ethnic persecution including reeducation camps, rapes, required abortions and sterilizations, a morally superior program to Putin
