My comments about Trump's ultimatum made to Russia about two weeks ago weren't published in full. Here's the uncut version.

Recently, it seems almost every day Russian press is forced to rebut yet another baseless claim by Trump and his diplomats that progress is being made towards a peace agreement in Ukraine. This torrent of tabloid style gossip should make Trump blush, but by now it should be obvious that he has neither tact nor the ability to feel embarrassed. He is simply flooding the airwaves with the idea that he is the peacemaker, while in reality he is setting the stage to do the exact opposite.

Trump serves the exact same masters that Biden did, so he is really only looking for an opportunity to walk away from his promises to make peace in Ukraine. Afterall, his masters' goal is to destroy both Russia and Ukraine! What better way for Trump to get off the hook than to shift the blame? I believe that he will go so far as to claim that Putin already agreed to sign a peace deal informally and had a copy on his desk ready to sign. He could then claim that Putin betrayed him and even his own soldiers by reneging on the deal. He could paint Putin as a bloody, murderous traitor, and claim that Putin left him no choice but to sponsor Zelenskiy ten times as much as Biden did.

Mr. Putin, you're up against a snake!

Tomorrow evening I'm going to be on TV again. NTV's «New Russian Sensations» has decided to make me a little more infamous. Show begins at 18:00 Moscow time.

Interesting to see how TASS is cutting and splicing my comments. I'll give them until noon before posting the uncut version.

For many, even for me, recent statements like those of Hegset and Trump give hope that peace talks been Ukraine and Russia will take place soon, and that the outcome will be a fair and lasting peace. De Vance's criticism of European "democracy" seems to add further reason to believe that Washington has truly changed course. We're tempted to think that Trump really isn't at fault for anything that has gone wrong in Ukraine. Afterall, democrats were always in office when things went wrong in Ukraine; first Obama, then Biden. Or perhaps it was always Hillary behind the scenes stirring up trouble.

It would seem that the worst case scenario is now that the war will be put on hold for a decade or so, only to break loose again with renewed savageness once Putin is no longer at the helm.

In the short term, such a breather would seem, at first glance, to be a blessing. Hundreds of thousands trapped in the death trap into which Ukraine has converted itself could get a chance to safely escape. This is the only real benefit that I see potentially coming from a ceasefire. Ultimately though, all of the Ukrainian war criminals and their political enablers must be punished for peace to be possible in the long term.

For this to happen Kiev must be brought to its knees just as Hitler and his goons were in 1945. And all significant natural resources in Kiev's control, as of today, should be leveraged to pay for the damage that their dirty partnership with the US and Europe has inflicted on civilian life and infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia. Only Russia is truly interested in a prosperous future for Ukraine, as demonstrated by their ongoing reconstruction of Mariupol and other cities in Donbass, by their development of Crimea since 2014. The West including Trump have done far more than enough to prove that they are only interested in sucking Ukraine dry, or using it as a battering ram against Russia.

What has Washington done to deserve 500 billion dollars worth of rare-earth metals? Sponsor cut-throats and pickpockets from Kiev? What have they done to deserve the right to talk about democracy and freedom? Threaten the world with crippling tariffs if they try to move away from slavery to the US dollar and market?

War is awful, and Trump seems to be prying at the door at the end of the tunnel, but remember what they say about "when it seems to good to be true". It probably is!

As with any peace process, critically important are the promises that each side makes, and whether or not they are fulfilled. As of today, only Russia has earned the right to make any promises. If Washington wants a deal, let them gather up the criminals from Kiev and fly them to Moscow for trial first. Second, they need to stand with their tails tucked under and eyes lowered while Russia takes control of Ukraine east of the Dnieper river and all of its southern regions. Then and only then Trump should have the privilege to extend his hand to receive whatever rare-earth metals Putin sees fit, and not a single ounce more!

Needed to keep the recording phone farther away from the cameraman's face. Otherwise, we hear his breathing in the recording. Need to think about a place to get away from the sound of rain droplets hitting the roof of the vehicle too.

A long time hack for Zelenskiy, and probably the CIA too, Brett Forrest, has just published his version of my story. He did a good job of twisting reality, but not as good as he did in his reporting about Bucha(link to news agency Meduza - declared an agent of foreign interests in Russia) . Even though he was one of the very first in Bucha, giving him the most untampered view at the evidence, he still managed to turn the matrix inside-out. With that in mind, his semantic gymnastics with the information shared with him by my parents and I is no surprise. What's interesting is the timing. He published his hit piece on me(and Trump BTW) yesterday. Two months after he interviewed me in mid- December.

Three years ago while I was a guest in Lvov Ukraine, a fundamental change occurred in Russia-Ukraine relations. After more than 14,000 civilian casualties in Donbass and years of ceasefire violations by Ukraine, Russia officially recognized the Donbass republics, DPR and LPR as sovereign nations. What else was there to wait for? For Ukraine to get nuclear weapons? Zelenskiy had hinted at this just days earlier, and refused to abide by the Minsk agreements.

When I heard the news, I told my hosts, "this is a declaration of war". It was obvious to me that Russia was preparing to legally form an alliance with the Donbass republics and step in to save them from Ukrainian invasion. Thank God that Russia did!

Ukrainian neo-nazis have a message for the USA, "We're coming for you next"! I think they forgot that the USA has the most heavily armed civilian population in the world by far. In the video, we see members of Ukraine’s 79th brigade making swiss cheese out of Donald Trump in effigy. They write in their blog about large Ukrainian immigrant populations in the US and Canada potentially overthrowing the current powers that be. I can see how this could potentially play into the hands of the kabalists to disarm the entire American public. If there were any thinking people left with a spine in Ukrainian political or military leadership, they would hurry up and make a deal with Putin directly. But no, the prodigal son always has to hit rock bottom before the light bulb turns on.

I've had the thought that the best results that Russia has had in Ukraine were from the very first days of the war. Western media had been doing everything to make Russia go stand in a corner, but Russia said, "watch me".

Russia could have just limited herself to taking up defensive positions inside the LDPR republics of Donbass, but then Russia would have been forced to fight tooth and nail all across the southern territories of Donetsk, Zaoporozhia and Kherson regions with massive bloodshed such as in the battles that took place later. Whereas today, southern Ukrainian or new Russian territories are flourishing as part of Russia, otherwise unavoidable battles for these territories may have left them completely destroyed.

The neo-nazi terrorists in Mariupol would not have been taken prisoner. They would have gotten away and later we would have had incidents not only in Kursk region.

Russia needs to continue the good work bringing thieves and murderers to justice without any regard for the scare tactics being employed against them by their so called "western partners". The only people who would threaten Russia in defense of neo-nazis are in fact neo-nazis themselves. Even if we don't see serious threats being made against Russia in the media, I guarantee you it is going on behind closed doors.

With all the talk about a ceasefire in Ukraine, I'm reminded of my prediction that Trump will do everything to appear as a peacemaker, then blame Russia for upsetting the deal. We might be tempted to think that Russia would be better off to sign the deal. The trouble is, that even if Russia does sign the deal, a provocation is likely to take place that will be even worse than continued fighting against Ukraine even if Trump starts backing them to a maximum.

A massive drone strike against Russia could be carried out by Ukrainian military, allegedly because of their dissatisfaction with the peace deal. These drones could even be equipped with miniature nuclear warheads(supplied by guess who). Their aim would be to completely discredit the Russian political leadership and cause a revolt inside Russia.
