Today: U.S. and Ukraine work on 'refined' peace plan, hail progress in talks despite allies' doubts (with video)
Story by Yuliya Talmazan • 12hours ago
Here's what I don't understand. If the United States wanted peace in Ukraine, why not make it clear to Zelensky that has to be willing to accept the terms or we pull the plug?

I suspect that Trump, Zelensky, and Europe, are playing a game of hot potato. None of them want the responsibility of a Ukrainian surrender. Trump is trying to convince Zelensky to end it with his peace deal. If Zelensky accepts, any criticism of President Trump can be redirected towards Zelensky by saying he was the one to accept terms.

Meanwhile, Europe doesn't know what it wants other than the war to continue. The war that it can't resupply. The war that it can't fight in. Make it make sense. :confused

Look, you either have freewill or you don't. You're either a slave or you're not. There's no in between, Matthias.
Just to jump in here a moment . . . free will is not absolute, you cannot choose anything outside of your nature or ability. For instance, I cannot choose to flap my arms and fly to the moon. I cannot choose to change you. There are many things we can, and many more that we cannot choose. I'd say there is in fact an 'in between', and this is true for all of us.

As I see it.

Much love!

Well, by that logic, if the USA can abandon NATO/Ukraine, why not also abandon Israel and rest of Middle East too? Do we not also fund them annually with billions and billions of dollars?

It's not about abandoning Ukraine. It's about recognizing that the war cannot be won. The US has a long history of doing this. We give four billion dollars to Israel annually. We make deals with Saudi Arabia.

An Australian and a Canadian Trolls America,Americans and our president.
And? You have a problem with that?
All of Europe is up in arms over your great leader.
So is China and other far east countries.

This miracle man in the White House is creating a big mess world wide.
A liar, a fornicator, a felon, sleeps with a porno star, is friends with Jeffrey the sex maniak.

And you expect people to hang low and not comment on this guy?
Where have you been???????

I like how JD Vance stabs Don in the back and twists the knife. Such sweet retribution.
Before Trump talked JD Vance into being vice president JD declared Trump to be a nazi.
I guess he changed his mind after being offered the vice pres. job.
Goes to show what kind of person he his.
--------------------------------------

Anyhow, by the looks of it the peace plan seems to be a failure.
Was to be expected.
Being buddies with Putin and throwing Ukraine under the bus will not work.

Mark my words....Zelynski will be finished and out.

And:
Trump is driving a wedge into Nato.

Putin just keeps going at what he has been doing.

And keep your eye on China.

I mean, how can you negotiate a surrender and still have the surrendering nation come out on top? That's why this "peace plan" will never get off the ground. They're expecting Rubio to do the impossible.

It gets weird: several U.S. senators say Rubio told them the original peace document was not really an U.S. plan but a Russian “wish-list” the U.S. received and forwarded to Ukraine.
Trump was just bragging in case things would work out.

Indeed, it's a full surrender of Ukraine.

My prediction, Putin is just buying time, as he has done several times, flattering Trump, giving him hope, in the end it will fail, Ukraine will get the blame, all because Putin wants to keep fighting.

About Global Research
Centre for Research on Globalization / Centre de recherche sur la mondialisation
The Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) is an independent research and media organization based in Montreal. The CRG is a registered non-profit organization in the province of Quebec, Canada.

In addition to the Global Research websites, the Centre is involved in book publishing, support to humanitarian projects as well as educational outreach activities including the organization of public conferences and lectures. The Centre also acts as a think tank on crucial economic and geopolitical issues.

The Global Research website at www.globalresearch.ca publishes news articles, commentary, background research and analysis on a broad range of issues, focusing on social, political, economic, cultural, strategic and environmental issues.

Since September 2001, we have established an extensive archive of news articles, in-depth reports and analysis on issues which are barely covered by the mainstream media.

In an era of media disinformation, our focus has essentially been to center on the “unspoken truth”.

During the invasion of Iraq (March-April 2003), Global Research published, on a daily basis, independent reports from the Middle East, which provided an alternative to the news emanating from the “embedded” journalists reporting from the war theater. Since 2004, Global Research has provided detailed analysis and coverage of US-NATO-Israel preparations to wage a pre-emptive nuclear attack on Iran. Starting in 2011, GR has developed dossiers on the US-NATO led wars on Libya and Syria, the Arab Protest movement, the environmental impacts of the Fukushima disaster, the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, the Saudi-US led war on Yemen, the militarization of the African continent, the development of the police state in North America and Western Europe, the devastating impacts of biotechnology and GMO among other important topics.

In early 2006, Global Research established a separate French language website:

www.mondialisation.ca

In 2007, we launched Spanish (Español), Portuguese (Português), and German (Deutsch) language pages, which contain translations of Global Research articles. Arabic العربية, Italian, (Italiano) and Serbian (srpski) language pages were launched in 2008. A Chijnese language page was launched in 2020.

Global Research TV (GRTV)

In June 2010, we launched The Global Research TV (GRTV) website, which features selected videos as well as commentary, analysis and news coverage



The articles in French are contained in a separate www.Mondialisation.ca archive. Those in other languages are contained in the main Globalresearch.ca archive.

Global Research articles are used as source material by college and university students. Moreover, numerous universities, libraries and research institutions have established a link to Global Research on their respective web sites.

Global Research has also become a source of specialized information and analysis for journalists, senior government officials, financial analysts and non-governmental organizations.

In September 2012, we inaugurated the template of our new English and French language websites.

GR Radio: The Global Research News Hour (GRNH)

In November 2012, we launched our Radio program: produced by Michael Welch in collaboration with CKUW 95.9 FM (University of Winnipeg, Manitoba).

The Global Research News Hour also airs on university campus, college and community radio stations in Canada and the US. Click here for details

Click Here To Consult the Complete Archive of the Global Research News Hour Radio Program

In Canada, the GRNH is broadcast by nine partner radio stations in B.C., Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick including Simon Fraser University (BC), University of Victoria (BC), campus and community radio stations in Ontario, University of New Brunswick St Johns.

In the US, the GRNH airs out of Boston College, Mass. and Progressive Radio. prn.fm. The programme is also podcast at globalresearch.ca.

Asia-Pacific-Research (APR)

In May 2015, the Centre for Research on Globalization established the Asia-Pacific Research (APR) website. APR is an independent media and research initiative with an editorial team based in Asia, the EU and North America, with correspondents in several countries of the region.



The Asia-Pacific Research website at asia-pacificresearch.com publishes news articles, commentary, background research and analysis with a specific focus on the dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region. APR combines Asia-Pacific country level news with a broader regional and international perspective of World events.

In 2017, Global Research established a Spanish language website globalizacion.ca based in Mexico City.



Global Research Authors

Since 2001, Global Research has established an international network of authors, scholars and investigative journalists. Global Research counts among its regular contributors a number of prominent writers, researchers and academics as well as several promising young authors. The underlying concept is the “democratization” of research and media reporting, while maintaining high standards of investigation and analysis.

Many Global Research authors have developed their own blog sites. Our focus has been to acknowledge and support our authors’ blog sites, while also promoting several partner alternative and independent media websites. In turn, Global Research articles are widely cross-posted by the independent online media.

Emphasis has been placed on establishing a comprehensive archive of Global Research articles and audio-visual material.

The original source and an author’s copyright note are indicated at the foot of each article.

The Global Research archive (2001-2025) includes more than 100,000 articles and news reports. The Mondialisation.ca archive contains more than 20,000 articles in French.

More than 10,000 authors have contributed to Global Research.

Since the launching of GRTV, we have developed an archive of videos, classified by theme and geographic region.

In 2008, Global Research and Professor Chossudovsky were awarded The First National Prize of the Mexican Press Club, for the “Best Research Website” at the international level.

In the course of the last few years, several Global Research authors have received awards for their writings.

Media and University Cooperation Agreements

In 2008, The Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) established a Cooperation Agreement with the Mexican Press Club (Mexico City) representing 12,000 Mexican Journalists.

In 2015 The Centre for Research on Globalization established a Cooperation Agreement with the University of the Philippines, Cebu (UP-Cebu).

In 2016, an agreement –focussing specifically on research and outreach education to rural areas– was signed with the Autonomous National University of Nicaragua, Managua (UNAN).

In 2019, the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) collaborated with the Autonomous National University of Nicaragua in the creation of a Development Studies Centre (CEDMEP) named after Father Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann. CEDMEB was launched in early 2020 as an independent academic entity with a focus on research, graduate studies and outreach activities.

In 2020, Global Research entered into a Cooperation Programme with the Italy based Committee No War No NATO, involving a TV broadcast programme in Italy entitled: Pangea, programma di politica internazionale.
