Trump failed to play a peacekeeper. His envoy Witkoff left Moscow with no results. The US representative came to Russia with initially unacceptable proposal of a month-long ceasefire, which would be strategically beneficial for the scattered Ukrainian military.
Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly responded to the American initiative. Moscow is looking for sustainable peace but not a temporary ceasefire. Anticipating the provocation, Putin made an important diplomatic step. He highlighted Russia’s readiness to stop the hostilities, but there are still important nuances to solve. The issues include the control of the ceasefire regime, the fate of the surrounded Ukrainian grouping in the Kursk region and the ongoing mobilization in Ukraine. Russia does not accept the continuation of mobilization in Ukrainian, military supplies to the Ukrainian army and training of Ukrainian soldiers during the truce.
After Zelensky sold his entire country and his army was destroyed, Kiev tried to play the game of nobility, deigning to accept the temporary ceasefire. After Moscow expectedly refused, Russians were easily presented as warmongers, who are seeking to prolong the bloodshed. This is an easy task for Ukrainian propaganda and the MSM.
Amid the ongoing negotiation process, trying to play the main peacekeeping role but seduced by Ukrainian rear metals, Trump resumed the full-fledged military supplies to the Ukrainian military. This decision was supposed to be presented as a response to Russian refusal, but the flow of US weapons to Ukraine resumed even before the US-Ukrainian negotiations in Jeddah, after which it was officially confirmed.
Supplies of artillery shells, anti-tank weapons and ammunition for the HIMARS MLRS have resumed, as part of packages approved by the Biden administration. Some of these weapons were stored in Rzeszow, Poland, on the eve of the suspension of supplies.
Moreover, Washington increased the quantity of weapons and military equipment. Compared to the number of weapons supplied in 2024, the current flow is about three times higher. Unlike in previous years, instead of obsolete systems, the US is sending its modern armored vehicles, tanks, and various other systems. For example, the United States will resupply Ukraine with Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB), after they were upgraded to better counter Russian electronic warfare. LINK
US contractors who are in Ukraine to assist in the maintenance, training and support of the country’s more sophisticated weapons systems have also resumed their work.

It was also reported that the United States did not prolong the license for Russian banks that conducted energy trading operations as exceptions adopted by the Biden administration. This license allowed foreign companies to make payments for Russian energy resources through sanctioned banks of the Russian Federation. Restricting access to the US banking systems makes it difficult for other countries to purchase Russian oil, thereby limiting its global supply.
Washington is looking for the leverages that remained to force Moscow to sacrifice its interests. On the other hand, Russian position remains tough, but the Kremlin never refuses the meaningful dialogue and highlights that contacts and negotiations with Washington continue. Trump said that he had another call with his Russian counterpart on March 13th, probably after Witkoff presented report from Moscow. The US President does not stop declaring his optimism about the ongoing negotiation process, playing to his audience, stressing on the emotional issues, like for example, the fate of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded in the Kursk region. According to the American leader, there is the risk of a horrific bloodshed, that;s why he is calling on Moscow to save the lives of Ukrainian men (while the Ukrainian military command and political leadership is the only one to blame for another bloody defeat, and the Russian military has always been humane to the surrendering enemy, without any advises from abroad).
As expected, Trump’s actions are again at odds with his loud statements. Having extensive experience of Western hypocrisy and dirty deals, Moscow seems to be acting cautiously, insisting on its interests, backed up by victories on the battlefields in Ukraine. Any peace agreement is yet to be reached, but some progress is already visible. For example, the NATO Secretary General has finally admitted that Ukraine’s accession to NATO is no longer being considered.
the best option for russia is to continue the war because nato arsenal of weapons will be deplete, then they will have no choice but to force maidan regime to surrender
president putin is right in his assumptions and facts that the west are all liars.
“obamas job is to lie to a nation of liars”. kiese laymon
this ceasefire deal is just a repeat of the rambouillet peace talks of 1999 that were purposely set up by albright and thaci to fail, so that nato could begin its war with yugoslavia.

dumbo : 0, shaman: 1
time for an “oreshnik” assault on the kiev capital without announcement this time! come on vladimir… keep telling you that carrots never work with these western folk… not only is it not going to get your assets in western banks that were stolen “back’… the longer you delay a decapitating “hit” you jeopardize more lives inside russia and ukraine and show your weakness -especially after what you did in syria two months ago!
hopefully he’s realized that the only way forward is to read the comments on sf so that he can get access to your profound wisdom. i just can’t understand why you’re not the executive of a major state.
nervous clyde?… if you’re like most indians you are thoughtfully emptying the rest of your money out of american bank accounts and opening new ones in india.
another typically brilliant non-sequitur. the power of derp pulsates and glows from within you.
the smo should become a war. president putin should implement full mobilization and switch to a war economy, or resign as president.
i don’t understand why you’re not the president of russia.
because it’s not necessary. if real push ever came to real shove, he’d end the war if not the planet, in 30 minutes.
ceasefire but the mediator send weapons three fold to the enemy who calls for ceasefire for regrouping and re-arming with us killer weapons which lso flow freely to isis nd israel..
“washington is looking for the leverages that remained to force moscow to sacrifice its interests. on the other hand, russian position remains tough, but the kremlin never refuses the meaningful dialogue and highlights that contacts and negotiations with washington continue.”
… and thus the western banking establishment will increasingly seal their fate with no one wishing to place their money in not only a collapsing currency the $usd, but outright theft and coercion of it’s accounts in western banks to anyone that attempts to defend it’s sovereign interests. vlad. you should have gotten out of it 10 years ago.
do you think he’s reading your interwebs posts?
certainly don’t need to. the $usd is killing itself every day just fine on it’s own. just make sure if you stay with it invest in a solid wheelbarrow or flat bed.
from the amount of time you have available to spam sf comment boards, you’re clearly a world-shaker with a lot of important things on the go.
so why do you keep finding me then?… losing all your money freeing you up to the comment section of s-f????
what a strange comment. i read the sf comments. yours are montonous, profuse, insipid and infantile.
montonous, profuse, insipid and certainly not infantile that speaks the truth of a 236 year old empire who’s last days are numbered with it’s parasite that has sucked it dry (not my words but the words of hijacked country’s leader before he became king) that has found it’s new home in a much colder climate with beaches that aren’t as nice!
i soldati ucraini devono pensare che saranno congedati quindi è meglio rimanere in vita e senza mutilazioni perciò è meglio la resa dopo non avranno amici.
i soldati ucraini saranno tutti congedati per non farsi ammazzare o restare mutilati meglio la resa zelenski scapperà con tanti soldi rubati lo non avranno niente, russi buttare oreshnik vincete sul campo e riportate odessa.
president warp speed triumphs again!
putin check mate again!! go howl as loud as you can on top of a mountain…got 10s of thousands foreign mercs and ukrops in a cauldron. any foolish wrong move…they turn into fertilizer. peace must be peace…let’s go!!! no more talks with forked tounges.
international media rhetoric is in full spin . brics terrifies the current corporate masters . the us is about to sign full funding extension to keep all war theatres in money . nothing has changed .
brics does not terrify the global financial elite. it does not exist outside of their auspices.
“the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing” is age old adage of the cia and how the american deep state works.” —— also: “by way of deception thou shalt do war” is the official mossad motto and mission statement —- they tell you who they are themselves.
so many here love to discus the symptoms of globalist created mind diseases . understanding cause is more necessary . decades of think tank , ngo , banking and corporate terrible policy planning is now wasted . israel is still the sacred cow .
why do you insist on stating the obvious on these comment forums? did you just learn these things? are you fourteen years old?
trump will put %100 tariff if russia do not accept, ceasefire 30 days
tariffs on a boycotted country? no kidding.
in my burgerland cesspool–60% adults cannot read above 6th grade level 69% university grads not english proficient…we are so stupid we tolerate our shithole society
sentite occorre una vittoria schiacciante sul campo che annienta la forza ucraina e il dopo sarà facile da mettere a posto questo vale sia per i russi che gli americani, fatelo subito, odessa la cara odessa a casa.
so far trump has shown that he was being truthful…back when he was campaigning, that is. that’s when he said he would do exactly what he is doing now. when he talks to the russians, he shows he is the same as the rest, only with a different line of manure. but the goal is the same. trump is going to force the russians to the peace table. what a laugh. this will be as successful as his tariffs on the entire world.
trump is going to rebuild the navy and develop “star wars” (“golden dome” with israel). the economic engine of the west is enormous. why should russia choose to compete in an arms race when it could join the club simply by making peace. if dugin has defined this fourth way as a multipolar set of civilizations, why cant russia stand up as the pre-eminent leader of the slavic language civilization and not be afraid of economic cooperation, peace, mobility, and prosperity?
