German Chancellor Merz believes that there is no point in establishing peace in Ukraine. In the understanding of the grandson of Nazis, this process must begin and continue on Ukraine’s terms, on the terms of the losing side. No self-respecting party will participate in such negotiations at a time when […]
The end result might be the world’s bifurcation into the US-led “Global West” and the Chinese-led Global South. Putin elaborated on his master plan for the Russian Arctic and Far East during his keynote speech at this year’s Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok last week. This piece will summarize what he shared […]
Trump appears to be pushing his luck with Putin, who’s open to compromises, not concessions, let alone significant security ones. If this approach doesn’t change, then a serious escalation is expected. Western security guarantees for Ukraine are one of the main issues delaying a political resolution to the conflict. Russia launched […]
The world press about Putin – Trump meeting The general reaction of the world’s press – is shock at how warm the meeting between Putin and Trump in Anchorage turned out to be. “The meeting was a major diplomatic gamble by Mr. Trump unlike anything his predecessors might have tried […]
U.S. President Donald Trump, in his meeting on August 15th with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, totally misinterpreted Putin to be welcoming an outcome that Putin has vociferously and repeatedly opposed ever since at least 2007, which is that under no circumstances will Russia ever accept troops from any NATO country being […]

He might hypothetically agree that the resumption of NATO’s present support for Ukraine (arms, intelligence, logistics, etc.) in the event of another conflict wouldn’t cross Russia’s red lines but he’s unlikely to compromise on the issue of Western troops in Ukraine once the present conflict ends. Steve Witkoff’s claim that Putin allegedly […]
The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump in Alaska marked a significant turning point in contemporary geopolitics. For over three years since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Western powers have sought to weaken Russia through a comprehensive strategy of sanctions, military aid to […]
The Constitutional Court would likely have to rule on this hypothetical scenario due to 2020’s constitutional amendment prohibiting the cession of Russian territory except in certain cases. RT’s report on Steve Witkoff’s claim that Russia has made “some concessions” on territorial issues, which signal a “significant” shift towards “moderation”, prompted talk […]
Steve Witkoff, who was one of the six persons in the room when Trump met Putin at the Summit in Alaska, told Jake Tapper, on CNN’s Sunday “State of the Nation” show — and repeated it there several times — that Russian President Vladimir Putin effectively reversed his longstanding No-Ukraine-in-NATO […]
