It seems that several European diplomats and officials are beginning to lobby for “peace” in Ukraine. According to an investigation by The Washington Post (WaPo), a growing number of Westerners are advocating a peaceful solution to the conflict based on the recognition of Russian sovereignty over former Ukrainian territories. While this may sound like good news, in practice it seems completely unrealistic, since Moscow has made it clear that it will no longer negotiate with the Kiev regime.
WaPo published an article showing the views of several Western officials, including diplomats and state representatives, on the future of the conflict in Ukraine. Contrary to the previous hegemonic narrative, which advocated taking the war to the “last Ukrainian”, there now appears to be a critical opinion among officials, with many of them calling for a peaceful solution through diplomatic dialogue.
Moreover, for the first time, Western officials appear to admit that it will be necessary to recognize the Russian New Territories in order to achieve an end to hostilities. According to the WaPo, Western diplomats are beginning to lobby for a “land for peace” solution, which involves voluntarily “ceding” former Ukrainian territories to Russia in exchange for an end to military operations. In the article, this proposal is called “land for Ukraine’s security”, and there is a clear effort to disguise the nature of the issue, trying to call the Ukrainian military defeat a “voluntary concession of land”.
“Among Ukraine’s European allies, there is a quiet but growing shift toward the notion that the war with Russia will end only through negotiations between Kiev and Moscow involving concessions of Ukrainian territory (…) European and NATO officials acknowledge that talk of territorial concessions no longer raises as many eyebrows as it once did, and diplomats frame it not as ‘land-for-peace’ but rather as land for Ukraine’s security,” the article reads.
Some officials have made it clear that all Western decision-makers now understand that a decision to recognize Ukrainian-claimed territories as Russian regions will be inevitable. However, most officials have refused to discuss this publicly so far in order to avoid looking to like a kind of military, political “surrender.”
“I think everybody has more or less reached this conclusion. It’s hard to say it publicly because it would be a way of saying we are going to reward aggression,” Gérard Araud, a former French ambassador to Washington, told WaPo’s journalists.
However, this situation has begun to change since Donald Trump was elected in the US. The Republican candidate was elected mainly because of his promise to “end the war”, which gave him great popularity among ordinary Americans, who are tired of seeing their tax money being used unjustifiably to finance the Kiev regime. Trump, even if he does not actually manage to end the conflict, will need to present some “peace” proposal to justify his voters’ trust in his promise – which is why Europeans are preparing for the changes that this scenario will bring to the conflict.
“The conversation (about peace) has taken on greater urgency with the election victory of Donald Trump, who has said he would quickly end the war, without detailing how, and has signaled he could back a deal that keeps some seized territory in Russian hands. In Europe, the closed-door discussions have also been fueled by a bleak battlefield situation, with Ukrainian forces on the defensive and fears of dwindling U.S. funding,” the text adds.
In other words, the Europeans are worried about Trump and are therefore beginning to outline their own peace plans. They fear that the reduction – or end – of military aid will lead to Kiev suffering even more substantial losses, which could expand the territorial zone under Russian control and add new demands to Russia’s peace terms.
So, the European plan consists basically of two points: to send as much military and financial aid as possible to Ukraine, in partnership with Biden’s US, before Trump’s inauguration; and to propose its own peace plan, setting out measures that simultaneously require Ukrainian and Russian concessions, so as not to appear either as a defeat for Kiev or a victory for Moscow.
This plan, however, will fail. Moscow has made it clear that it is no longer interested in peace negotiations, given Ukraine’s insistence on killing Russian civilians, as seen in the current invasion of the Kursk region. Russia has spent two years making peace proposals that have been repeatedly ignored or denied by Ukraine, having no longer any reason to insist on a diplomatic solution. Furthermore, a Russian military victory is the only real guarantee of peace in the long term.
If the special military operation is ended solely because of Trump’s plans, Russia will remain unprotected, since a US pro-war government could return in four years and repeat the aggressions on Russia’s borders. Moscow has already understood that the only way to achieve lasting peace is to defeat the Kiev regime militarily and reintegrate as much territory as necessary to prevent further attacks on the borders. Neither Trump nor the Europeans will change Russia’s stance.

such duplicity. so transparent .who do.you think you’re kidding pretending to be pro russian? yourself would be the only suckers imo .
one option is to completely demilitarise the five southernmost ukrainian oblasts, as security for good faith to discourage a replay of the post-2014 treacheries.
it’s more than that .you need to realise that they ,the globalists ,have wanted the whole universe for centuries .they’ve concocted a fantastic tapestry of deceits to disguise themselves behind .”nothings what it seems we are all disposable to them “.qe2.
here’s to the consideration of land for peace… “in “major policy shift” biden authorizes ukraine’s use of us missiles to hit targets inside russia”… lavrov said right 2 days ago – “trump’s win unlikely to substantially change us stance on ukraine: lavrov”?!!!
land for peace, war reparations for russian oil-gas pipelines, russia keeps the coke coal mines around pokrovsk and zelenskyy the clown gets a kokain overdose.
you just do not understand zekensky was live streamed to ” western ” parliaments no one else has done that .it is evidence of the fist behind his image .he was immediately portrayed as george the saint in effect slaying ths russian dragon in their usual style of publicity .etc etc etc .imo .
publicity is all the yanquies have left, they don’t know how to do anything else…

grow up they will never bomb what they crave .they will never bomb versailles or notre dame or winter palace or tsarskoe selo or any thing they want .
as usual the whole things pure fabricated fantasies created from imperialistic globalists agendas. ukraine is absolutely traditional russian territory’s amy other story is a lie .it s that simple
being declared ” independent ” by western interests which simply facilitated their taking ukraine’s farmlands in.reality, and asap too ,they didn’t waste a minute, is not real or consistent with russian history .
westerners empire is based on lies, they create their own reality to cover their own crimes. it’s like they wipe out all americas native population and then they came up with the modified history that viruses kill them all. it’s like the catholic cathedrals at top of mexico pyramids, and the priests saying that nobody lived here when we arrived. they kill them all. the same with the iroquois, ask the europeans or the us empire what happened with the iroquois?
humiliating to be amerikunt hillbilly lgbt—exposed as weak loser by russia
while i appreciate the use of the name ‘saxon’ is intended to denigrate the western powers – and rightfully so – the real anglo-saxons have been an occupied people since 1066 when the pope’s norman shock troops invaded britain to take back their offshore bank now known as london. you can always tell a norman by their name, which will contain something like ‘de bretton’ or ‘de pfeffel’. any hereditary duke is a norman, unlike an earl who is saxon.
they always promote several domain approaches, that’s their exceptionalism based order, so they confuse and deceive everyone. but ukraine peace deal will be achieved in 2025. but hidden wars or cold war will continue between russia and nato usa will continue for sure.
“the republican candidate was elected mainly because of his promise to “end the war”, which gave him great popularity among ordinary americans, who are tired of seeing their tax money being used unjustifiably to finance the kiev regime.” this completely misreads the public sentiment in the usa.
europe and russia think the american public pays attention to this war. not many do. the deep state forces in state and dod and cia do, but the people don’t. this was not trumps strong point. so don’t think he has a ground sell behind his admittedly anti ukrainian sentiments. he doesn’t. in fact most americans would cheer for ukrainian victory.
as soon that us empire realized they won’t won in ukraine as they expected in at the beginning of ukraine war the msm have thrown ukraine war under the bus. usa empire is so brainwashed on their own exceptionalism, they can only deceit and deceived to their brainwashed childrens, vassals and lackeys. the bad news to usa empire, is their lackeys are wicked and insane with exceptionalism too, so they are losing their empire in front of their own eyes.
any european plan to end the war is stupid and unrealistic. pinnacle of stupidity have been all the “peace conferences” where russia was never invited.
unless europe and us start looking from completely new perspective, there will be no peace. also ukraine must understand that they can not have peace without concessions.
time to just spray borrell’s garden with weed-killer and start over.
due to size limitations i had to post my comment in three separate sections. the second section was held “pending review” and ultimately never published which left my comment disjointed. there was nothing obscene in the comment sf refused to post. what gives sf?
biden let using atacms on russia ( 1000 ‘th) days of the war start, its sembolyic date.if ukraina loose odessa it will be permanent thats why biden let use atacm long range missikes to bomb on moscow, and after 3 month biden is normal person with no responsibility.
atacms long range usa missiles will bomb red street in moscow soon, suprize attact zelensky planning, putin (no stay more) in kremlin why? because putin must hide from atacms long range usa missiles, 300 mile distance range atacs can bomb from kursk to moscow 300 mile distance. decision joe biden wrong decision why ? because zelensky will bomb kursk (russian,korean troops with atacms) and what happen next ? russian answer will be same , missiles russian will bomb usa in syria.
