If China actually got a Peace Prize for this (which they really dont deserve either) I would be laughing my head off for hours. Donnie would be so upset.
The negations/peace plan doesn't stand any chance with Steve Witkoff in the room, hand selected by putin for his lack of knowledge and experience.
Trump has been thoroughly humiliated and cucked by Putin
If China steals his Nobel peace price he be doing backflips
Probably just a Chinese provocation for Trump - it’s not as if he hasn’t embarrassed himself so much all ready with his fan boy love in with Putin. Looks like the Chinese are low key pushing him even further into this rabbit hole of disgrace.
Hmmm….somethings rotten in the State of Dongfeng.
Could be helpful…could be something else. Beijing practically never does anything out of the kindness of their hearts. They have an angle here. Turkey have a geopolitical stake in keeping a lid on Russia, but China dont really need to in this way. This might be a play to get the Russians to do something extra for them. Beijing already have a cr*p-tonne of leverage on Moscow, so its hard to guess what that could be though.
Hang on a second, can you envision Chinese soldiers firing on Russian soldiers under any circumstance?
Also, looking at history, British soldiers were originally brought in to NI to protect Catholic areas.
What is designed/signed up to and what actually happens can be very different things. Chinese soldiers and equipment perched inside Europe will never be a good thing. If that actually happens maybe Putin is a master strategist after all.
Again, different to your other answer:
I think we all know what happened to Prigozhin
No point pursuing further as its a waste of everybodys time, but don't be surprised when others point out the bad faith posts in the future and that you need to own them.
China potentially contributing towards peacekeeping force
If Turkish and Chinese peacekeepers are involved that might just about make Russians think twice of breaking a ceasefire
I think he died in a plane crash because that's what the papers said. The various theories are discussed here.

Report that Germany is providing additional military support for Ukraine:

Also the UK is taking action on more assets of putin's terrorist state:

Dictatorship 101: Its not compulsive liars but compulsive believers that are important.
Never a truer word spoken!
We've seen plenty evidence of this.

Those peace loving russians at it again!
Kyiv being hit!
Kyiv getting hit hard this evening. Looks like residential buildings. Scumbags.
Hopefully the Ukrainian drones can make the Russians pay this evening
He never stood up to Putin, his entire argument was that the military was not filling their obligations to him, and that lasted about 3 hours before he hit the brakes, and when he was killed by Putin who protested? Who demanded justice?
The war is one dwarfs ego
I think the question is what do you think happened to Prigozhin after challenging putin as you have tended to be coy in these areas and then deny making such statements.
Oh wow a fullblown Putin apologist
The fear of open windows must be strong
It’s a good thing we have free speech unlike Russia eh?
I think we all know what happened to Prigozhin but what I said was in response to the poster who claimed there would be no divergence of opinion in Russia were the ceasefire agreed.
As the link shows in my previous comment, Russians are condemning Putin for talking with the USA. Maybe they'll all end up mysteriously dead too but Putin is walking that tightrope.
He's not all powerful as Prigozhin showed. A few slip ups and someone else will take the reins.
I would imagine russia invading crimea in 2014 along with shooting down passenger planes might have caused Ukraine to hesitate on any autonomy there…
What happened to Prigozhin when he stood up to putin?
Finally some balance appearing in the mainstream media.

Ukraine was to guarantee Donbas limited political autonomy by the end of 2015, which Putin believed would be sufficient to prevent Ukraine from joining — or serving as a military base for — NATO. Regrettably, Ukraine refused for seven years to fulfill that commitment.Zelensky even campaigned in 2019 on a promise to finally implement the accords to prevent further war. But after winning election, he reneged, apparently less concerned about risking war than looking weak on Russia.

Hopefully they'll sort out a ceasefire and stop the violence. I wonder if we'll ever know the truth death toll.
As the article says, provoked is not the same as justified but it looks like diplomacy will start this year.
Run that list of orc pre-conditions for a ceasfire past me again? Never mind it was something like let us mobilise, train and rebuild stockpiles for the next massive assault while you do none of the above. For an actual peace it was surrender.
No point countries getting into the intricacies of peacekeepers when there is not the slightest prospect of them being needed.
I think Krasnov's peace mongering is just FSB directed psy-ops designed to further break the spirit of Ukraine's population. Easier to endure starvation without a bunch of well fed gobs endlessly talking about banquet menus and possible timetables for food deliveries.
That's not really true. Prigozhin went against Putin. Others are now giving out just because relations are warming with the USA.

Meanwhile news from Chernobyl .. alot of damage it seems.
The Russian drone strike on Chernobyl’s New Safe Confinement (NSC) has significantly damaged its structure, leaving it unable to function as designed. According to Greenpeace Ukraine, 50% of the northern roof, as well as the southern roof and side walls, were damaged by the resulting fire. Critical components, including the crane system, were also seriously affected.
The damage has allowed both snow and water to seep under the arch, creating a potential corrosion threat. As a result, the NSC no longer meets its original design and licensing requirements. Nuclear energy expert Jan Vande Putte warns that due to high radiation levels above the sarcophagus, repairs may require moving the entire NSC back to its original assembly site, an operation that would be extremely costly. Greenpeace says the future of the project is now "uncertain at best."

Maybe somewhat unfair (the "head honchos imagine themselves as rulers of the continent" part). The EU is, IMO, the best mechanism the members have to cooperate with each other.
However the UK is very important when it comes to defence in Europe, and there are other non EU members that are threatened by Russia.
Pretty much all countries in Europe west of Ukraine are affected by this, so it all goes well beyond the EU members.
Apart from the unreliability of the US and the cloud over them assisting others militarily if attacked, if these pro Russian moves they are now making continue, it will make the European NATO members doubt they can actually trust NATO as a forum/mechanism for their own cooperation.
Guess what wars lead to when it comes to demographics
Chinese soldiers in Europe. Yeah, that’s not a worry at all.
FS Europe, get your shìt together!
Now .. isnt this an interesting twist .. wow!
China may send peacekeepers to Ukraine, Beijing is discussing this option with the EU, — Welt am Sonntag
As Chinese representatives note, China's joining the "coalition of the willing" could increase the likelihood that Russia will agree to the presence of peacekeepers.
Well, thats put the tin hat on it
MORE: From interview with Tucker Carlson
- Witkoff can't even remember the names of the Ukrainian oblasts (Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea) that Putin wants.
- He then uses the Russian name (Lugansk) for one of them.
- He cites a sham vote organized by the FSB as "evidence" that people in these regions want to join Russia.
- Witkoff also fails to mention that Russia doesn't even have full de facto control of these regions.
But that will mean a return to 1930’s economics. The era of global free trade is coming to an end if global blocs don’t trust each other. Maybe that’s not a bad thing. After all globalization and free trade for all it’s economic advantages has just led us into ruinous demographic decline.
I suppose an EU ruile had to be made to counter likes of Hungary. I would say the rules will need further refinement than this, new rules even, that apply to all .. and rules that can remove a state from the EU also
it’s not just a question of Putin playing 4d chess. Russia has been de stabilizing countries for 100s of years. They have multi century uninterrupted intelligence experience at this. A militarized , de stabilized Europe is good for Russia. When Europe was stabilized peaceful and prosperous Russia suffered. Just trying to understand Kremlin logic. And it’s easy enough for them to cause chaos in Europe as we are seeing.
