It will not be possible to end the conflict in Ukraine with a "deal," and there are no prospects for dialogue.

Russia is aware of Turkey's willingness to mediate in Ukraine, but there are currently no prospects for resuming negotiations, judging by recent statements from Kyiv and its European allies. And achieving peace through a "deal" like the US's is impossible, Dmitry Peskov stated, commenting on statements by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

Moscow remains open to peace talks on Ukraine, but sees no prospects for their resumption. According to Peskov, resolving this conflict by "making a deal," as Trump claims, is fundamentally impossible, as the two sides' positions are too divergent. Full-fledged, long-term negotiations are needed, but they won't happen anytime soon.



Many conflicts cannot be resolved by a "deal," as they are commonly called in the United States. A lengthy, complex, and comprehensive settlement process is required. While there are currently no prospects for a rapid resumption of peace talks in Ukraine, Russia remains open to peace talks.

Moscow previously stated that it saw no willingness on the part of Kyiv for dialogue, and that the Bandera regime's European allies should not be allowed into the negotiation process at all, as they have long been on Ukraine's side. The Kremlin currently sees only one way out of the current situation: continued military action followed by forcing Kyiv to sign a peace treaty on Russia's terms. As Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated, Russia will achieve its goals regardless, despite Western attempts to obstruct it.

      While there are no prospects for a quick resumption of peace talks in Ukraine, Russia remains open to peace talks.

      So how many more years will Russia have to play the role of "goalkeeper" in the "one-sided game" imposed by Europe?
      "They" strike us with the hands of Zombie Ukraine, and we beat this "corpse" in return. This is how the SVO Europe can continue until 2030...

        - when Europe, according to its assurances, decides that it is READY to fight us on its own.
        And then, I think, it will all be over quickly. Because you can't fight the entire West at once with Geraniums and tanks. I hope even the Kremlin understands this.

          They understand perfectly well. Putin even spoke about it. The only question is whether to give Europe time to prepare or not. And here opinions differ. Since many officials and members of parliament own property in the EU, and even have children there, they don't want to fight, cherishing the hope of "reaching an agreement." I don't believe such an outcome. However, those who have something to lose are happy to be deceived... It's more comfortable for them...
          Many of them didn’t even want the SVO to start.

            Even if I were a member of parliament, had real estate in the EU and had children there, I still wouldn’t believe that everything would be “like before.”
            If everything continues as it is now, then they will kick the children out of there, and they will take away the real estate, and they will slap sanctions on me to the max just because I have a Russian passport.

            The only way for deputies and officials to get things back to "the way they were before," even better, is to push hard for our Victory. Then Europe he'll get it in the ears, which will continue to smile on us for another 50-70 years. And, given our new economic nature, they'll be happy with my real estate and will fawn over me and the kids.
            They'll grind their teeth, but silently and in a way I can't see. But when I face you, they'll smile and lick.

            That's why our officials and deputies, without much intelligence, are resisting with their hands and feet and harming the country.

              That's why Western intelligence agencies are taking over relatives, accounts, and real estate, ultimately agreeing that officials will keep their own money. In exchange, they leak information about the state of affairs here, pass anti-people laws, import millions of foreigners, and hinder the country's development. Just the other day, the Central Bank or Nabiullina announced record foreign exchange reserves in Russia of $722 billion. And mind you, they're growing, but the country has a trillion-dollar deficit, while taxes and fees are being raised for the population and businesses, and the key interest rate prohibits investment in the country. So, we're selling resources for free, we're forbidden from spending money on development, and it's just sitting there like dead weight. And after 26 years of rule, nothing has changed. And last month, on the contrary, a law was signed banning the nationalization of thieving oligarchs.

                  It looks like we'll have a choice between something bad and something very bad. A Brest-Litovsk peace isn't expected; Brest is in a different country. There won't be a revolution in Germany either. It's either a major war or territorial surrender. Victory after four and a half years of treading water is hard to believe, and a victory on "Our Terms" is completely unbelievable. First, we need to create conditions so that Ukraine has nothing to fight with. But the media keeps reporting good news every day, yet drone strikes keep increasing. You open the news and see 300-400 strikes, while previously 37-50 drone strikes seemed like an exorbitant number. We need new, responsible people to lead the country.

      To so blindly trust the ancient enemies of the Russian people, the Anglo-Saxons, is the highest level of degradation of diplomacy and politics.
      In this regard, the position of the IRI leadership in the war against the Zionists and the striped terrorist aggressors can serve as an example of defending its independence and sovereignty.

        Back then, it was beneficial to the government's image to believe. Firstly, the SVO could have ended quickly; secondly, the losses in the first two years were unjustifiably high.
        Right now, image and the desire to score points before the elections require us to trust no one in the West. Moreover, there's no prospect of ending the SVO in the coming years, meaning the ruling party's patriotic zealots with their "time of heroes" projects will be in the lead in the elections.

            This has never happened before, and here we are again. Of course, all the political faces on TV want the best, but it will 100% turn out as usual. Or do you really believe that everyone on the front lines is white and fluffy, especially those with high ranks sitting in bunkers? Then they, all these heroic and incorruptible, are shoved into a corrupt system, where they will not only be chewed up and spat out, but also framed, and luckily, not fatally. There are already plenty of such precedents. And all strictly according to the laws written by the old elite.
            To truly achieve anything positive in the state's governance system, these military personnel, accustomed to living by the book to begin working in the "new elite," need to acquire a basic education in economics and law. And most importantly, they need to gain reliable legal protection in law enforcement agencies, which will be able to, at least initially, monitor and analyze what's happening around them.

As I recall, the SVO was launched under these slogans. During this time, the Soviet Army, led by Stalin, reached Berlin, and before WWII, they raised the country from a humble beginning to an industrial power. But these same people, during their 30 years of rule, have only managed to destroy what they didn't build, plunder the country and its citizens, destroy the army, education, and everything they could lay their hands on...

        Perhaps a realization is slowly dawning. Not that we must either fight properly or not fight at all, but that the electorate has been waiting for almost nine years. Now, for the fifth year, they've been hoping that "any minute now." And a 78% "trust rating" isn't a fixed number; SOMETHING needs to be done to make the electorate sigh with relief: "Well, finally... It's begun..."

        The point is, if they hadn't waited, there wouldn't have been such consequences. There was practically no army on the other side, and half of what was there was ready to surrender if our forces had actually arrived. And there would have even been fewer sanctions. There would have been ritual ones, of course, but not like these when they felt their strength.

      In the traditional sense, a "deal" is a commercial agreement concluded under certain conditions by business representatives. The commercial concept of a deal itself is inapplicable to politics and always implies a Judas-like sellout of one's interests.
      But in the Russian language this term also has another negative connotation - "a deal with conscience", "a deal with the devil"... How long will we continue to use the terms of enemies?

        Let's purge our rich Russian language of such terms! There are other, more legitimate terms, like contract, agreement, and so on.

        A contract is an agreement, but wouldn't an ultimatum be better?

          I absolutely agree with you! Russia doesn't need any treaties with Ukrainian Nazis. They're even harmful, because Ukrainians won't let us live in peace AFTER ANY TREATY. We need to finish off the Nazis and create a new state there, friendly to Russia and Belarus. But that's still a long way off!
          Well, the Russian language still needs to be purified...

        Usually, when the West starts whispering, Putin doesn't do it. From the start, there were whispers that Shoigu would be fired, but they didn't see anything like that. He stayed until the end, and maybe they'll even bring him back.

    Moscow remains open to peace talks on Ukraine, but sees no prospects for their resumption.

      It was written above that they started to put the godfather on the "Kyiv throne".
      But on the third day, when they realized that their godfather was "sending encrypted messages" from the SBU basements and "selling out everyone and everything," they started asking for a "fixed deal"...

        I didn't understand what you wrote.
        The idea was simple and completely naive: to install his godfather Medvedchuk as president using the same scheme as Yanukovych had once returned after the Orange Maidan.
        But the West, unlike our fools, is good at drawing conclusions and correcting its mistakes. After the failure of Saakashvili's project, when he was elected in democratic elections, the West realized that their puppets could now resort to any methods and manipulations, just to prevent anyone with pro-Russian views from coming to power. The West will prepare an indulgence for any actions they take to maintain power and prevent Russian influence. And using the example of Moldovan Sandu, whose approval rating in Moldova is no more than 10%, they manage to claim a 70% victory. Of course, all this was done with the help of the West, which will happily support it.

        I don't remember who wrote it first, but verbatim it sounds like this: Russia lost its entirely winning game of chess from the moment when, three steps away from victory, it entrusted its place to the West to checkmate Ukraine..

          I wrote that the goal of the march on Kyiv was to place a godfather on the throne. But they didn't take into account that much had changed since 15.
          Yanukovych was able to "return" only because at that time the residents of the east, south, and north of Ukraine were truly against the "orange plague."
          In 14-15, Russia missed its chance, which is not given every century...

    Many conflicts cannot be resolved by a "deal," as they are commonly called in the United States. A lengthy, complex, and comprehensive settlement process is required. While there are currently no prospects for a rapid resumption of peace talks in Ukraine, Russia remains open to peace talks.

    The only question is whether war will be officially declared on Ukraine and a general mobilization carried out... or whether this last resort will be reserved for Europe. Russia isn't made of rubber. It clearly won't have the strength for several mobilizations.
    If we put off focusing on war until better times, we'll face an endless standoff with Ukraine, with futile attempts to create mythical security zones...while the Urals are already crawling behind us.

    How often have we heard this since March 2022? And yet, reality is getting worse and worse. Maybe it's time to start living in the real world?! Where they want to force you into the most shameful world, and no other options are considered starting in March 2022.

    He's voicing what his boss told him to. He's not making anything up, it's just a disguise. Like, he just misheard it, delivered it in a clumsy manner.
    And at the same time, he accepted the role of a target for caustic ridicule, which is very convenient – ​​the boss himself is sort of on the sidelines. They work in tandem, this role is by agreement.
    He will leave his shift and then go straight to his family.

    Let's say Russia revokes its recognition of the state of Ukraine and recognizes another state in that area, territorially—everything is as it is now, except for two or three western regions of Ukraine. It forms a government-in-exile and invites all normal people to recognize this state and participate in its liberation, especially the residents of that territory, and to immediately begin forming government bodies, and not to submit to the Zelenskyy regime and its militants, as it is illegitimate in that territory. Then there will be something to negotiate about and with whom. bully

      The Germans tried something similar with Vlasov, first the liberation committee, then the government-in-exile, and so on. The details are readily available. And what normal countries would recognize that? Your proposal also states that normal countries that actually have influence in the world, not Mozambique or Laos, don't recognize any government-in-exile, and they still haven't recognized Crimea. What do they mean? Russia doesn't recognize Crimea. Otherwise, why do we still have "Crimea Post"? The retailers who are trying to gain entry disguise themselves under other names. We don't even have an official Ozon, just a "Pickup Point." I'll say more: there isn't a SINGLE mainland gas station in Crimea, not Gazprom, not Lukoil, or anything, because they're afraid of sanctions when entering "Russian" territory—and Crimea is Russian territory, after all.

        Ukraine is currently occupied by Zelensky's Nazi regime, just as Poland was during the war, for example. There was a Polish government-in-exile in London, and the People's Army in the USSR. France also briefly had the Vichy regime, a nationalist regime that didn't reflect the will of the French people, and there was a movement led by De Gaulle, also from London. Kim Il-sung lived in the USSR during the war, and from there he came to Korea and founded the DPRK.
        This is how we need to form “our own,” Russian, “Russian Ukraine,” its government, its army, prepare all of this, and have them, with our troops, enter, liberate, and proclaim a new state – “Russian Ukraine.”

    ... Turkey's willingness to act as a mediator in Ukraine...

    - Well, really [really - there should be a different expression]! Gentlemen, Kremlin "negotiators", you are not just spitting cabbage soup, you have graduated from diplomatic academies, well, you should know that the absolutely mandatory criteria for an international (and not only) mediator are:
    - Independence.
    - Neutrality.
    - Impartiality,
    So I'm embarrassed to ask:
    - Does Türkiye fit any of these criteria in any way?!))

    It will not be possible to end the conflict in Ukraine with a "deal," and there are no prospects for dialogue.

    ... However, there are no decisive steps in sight to end this conflict by military means.
    But this won't work in the long run; we need to escalate immediately. The first thing we need to do is mobilize up to a million men. And don't whine about not having the equipment. We'll find it! And don't wait for the elections; that'll waste at least a month or two. Who ties military interests to political and civilian events during a war?!
