Putin announces unilateral three-day ceasefire in Ukraine from May 8​



“Russian President Vladimir Putin has unilaterally declared a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine from May 8-11 to coincide with World War II commemorations and called on Kyiv to do the same, the Kremlin said Monday.

The Kremlin said the decision was based on “humanitarian considerations” and a truce would be held from midnight on May 7-8 to midnight on May 10-11 to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory Day and the defeat of Nazi Germany. …”

Uh.........FOX has hidden the real significance of these comments with its headline. This Republican Senator claims we are in a knife fight with Russia, and that Putin has disrespected and jacked Trump around at every turn.

Wonder if Trump has heard this news?
 

Rubio Says Trump Will Decide This Week on Continuing Ukraine War Talks​

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there are reasons to be optimistic, but also asserted there are “other issues” on which the administration wants to spend its energy.

Rubio Says Trump Will Decide This Week on Continuing Ukraine War Talks

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there are reasons to be optimistic, but also asserted there are “other issues” on which the administration wants to spend its energy.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

“… This week will be “very important,” Mr. Rubio said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“We have to make a determination about whether this is an endeavor that we want to continue to be involved in or if it’s time to sort of focus on some other issues that are equally if not more important in some cases.”

“But we want to see it happen,” he added. “There are reasons to be optimistic, but there are reasons to be realistic of course as well. We’re close, but we’re not close enough.”

Mr. Rubio did not give further details of the state of the talks.

It was not clear if the timeline he offered was meant to pressure Ukraine and Russia to agree to enter direct discussions toward a deal, or whether President Trump and his aides were seriously considering walking away. …”

Who actually wants the US to be involved in the peace negotiations, other than Putin perhaps. Like, is this a threat or an inducement?

I think keeping the line open with Trump allows Zelenskyy to occasionally land benefits of the “last person trump talked to” phenomenon. Trump is a Russian asset, not just a sympathizer, IMO, that said, his narcissism overrides any other motivator/alliance. I think it’s likely Zelenskyy is slowing Trump fully supporting Russia’s invasion, by occasionally lavishing him with compliments and inducements (ie the mythical minerals deal).

Promises broken...

During his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly claimed he could end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office. He suggested that a single phone call to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would suffice to broker peace, emphasizing his personal rapport with both leaders. In one instance, he stated, "That is a war that’s dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become president." (AP News)

I think this is close to what the peace treaty is going to end up. I doubt Russia will get recognition of the annexation, but they will keep the land like Crimea. I don't see demilitarization as realistic. No one is trusting Putin not to invade and Russia won't accept a Western force on their doorstep. I think they could probably fluff the nazi stuff by arresting a couple of the ultra nationalist party leaders, but if Russia is going to expand the definition of Nazi to Zelinsky and his party, I suspect the war will go on. And I don't think Ukraine would ever agree to the last one, although in some ways that is the easiest to agree to and ignore after the treaty is signed.

I don’t think Trump is a Russian asset. He’s far too effective and competent for him to actually be trying to do this. It would be thing he’s best at in the world. He’s Just a useful idiot

Say what? Who would arrest them? On what charges?

The Ukraine government. They arrested opposition politicians on treason charges. They arrested priests on collaborationism charges. They arrested a journalist for justifying the invasion of Crimea. I suspect they can find a charge or two to arrest a few hard right politicians.

“… The journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna was captured in the summer of 2023 near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. It was at least her fourth reporting trip into the occupied territories. She was by this stage of the war the only Ukrainian journalist prepared to risk crossing the frontline in order to pierce the information blackout imposed by Russia.

Roshchyna died after a year in detention, aged 27.

Information on the circumstances of her death is limited. Roshchyna was held without charge and without access to a lawyer. During her detention, her only known contact with the outside world was a four-minute phone call to her parents, a full year after she was taken.

Preliminary forensics suggest “numerous signs of torture”, according to the prosecutor. Burn marks on her feet from electric shocks, abrasions on the hips and head, and a broken rib. Her hair, which she liked to wear long and tinted blonde at the tips, had been shaved.

Sources close to the official investigation have also disclosed that the hyoid bone in her neck was broken. It is the kind of damage that can occur during strangulation. However, the exact cause of death may never be known because when her body was returned during the exchange on 14 February, certain parts were missing, namely the brain, eyes and larynx. …”
