London reportedly “concerned” about Ukrainian concessions in peace talks.

The West continues to work against peace in Ukraine. According to recent reports, the British government is “concerned” about the progress of the peace talks, mainly due to Kiev’s alleged initiative to propose significant concessions. The news was published by The Times website, which mentions anonymous British government sources in its text. If the veracity of the information contained in the article is confirmed, this will be further evidence of the destabilizing role played by the UK in the conflict.
According to The Times, Britain is “concerned” that the US, France, and Germany will pressure Ukraine to “settle” quickly and make significant concessions during the recent peace talks with Russia. An anonymous senior British government source reportedly said there were concerns that other Western countries were “eager” to secure a peace deal as soon as possible, encouraging Kiev to accept all Russian-imposed conditions.
This “fear” was allegedly the reason British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky the last weekend. During the conversation, Johnson described Vladimir Putin as a “liar and a bully” and “alerted” that the Russian leader would try to wear down the Ukrainian government and force it to make concessions during the Ankara peace talks, which ended without any relevant results.
The source also stated that the hegemonic thought among British government officials is that Ukraine should reinforce its military measures before seeking a diplomatic solution, using full power against Russian troops. For London, what seems to be the worst-case scenario for Western interests is a retreat by Kiev on territorial issues. In this sense, there should be a maximum effort to bring the military resistance to the last consequences, so that, in addition to international sanctions (which he said that must be increased further), Russia will then be forced to leave Ukraine including from Donbass and Crimea, which Kiev continues to claim.
An interesting point to mention is that Liz Truss, the UK Foreign Minister, said in an interview on Sunday 27 March that Western sanctions on Moscow should only be lifted in the event of a complete withdrawal of Russian troops from the Ukrainian territory. In other words, Truss believes it is necessary to maintain a policy of absolute coercion throughout the entire Russian Special Operation, not admitting the possibility of easing sanctions in advance to initiate a diplomatic dialogue. In fact, it is a position somewhat similar to that pointed out by the anonymous interviewee of The Times, which makes the situation really worrying.
Considering that goodwill and mutual trust are elementary diplomatic principles, it is difficult for any peace talks to be fruitful if one of the parties starts the debate by ruling out withdrawing its troops. Russia has so far reduced the intensity of operations during talks on all occasions that there has been a diplomatic meeting between Russian and Ukrainian relations. So, it would also be diplomatic kindness for the West to at least ease some sanctions during the negotiations, showing willingness to really reach a peaceful end.
However, returning to the topic reported by The Times, it is curious to note the destabilizing role that London is adopting. It is known by any experts that the Ukrainian armed forces do not have the material conditions necessary to carry out the resistance for a long time, which is one of the main reasons why a peaceful diplomatic agreement is considered a good option. The Russian military superiority is absolute and, in other words, there is simply no possibility for the Ukrainians to effectively counter Russian troops.
Of course, this fact is well known to British government officials, who apparently still insist on advocating that military resistance be promoted. In practice, what London simply wants is for the West to increase its participation, sending more money, weapons and fighters. Some recent UK actions corroborate this narrative. It is necessary to remember, for example, that many western mercenaries who are fighting on the side of Kiev are actually British veterans and even members of elite divisions. Indeed, for the UK, peace seems to be the least important thing.
It seems wrong, however, to believe that other countries really have any interest in making Ukraine consider concessions. On the contrary, so far Kiev has shown no interest in surrendering on practically any relevant point, making bilateral dialogue virtually impossible. It simply appears that London is adopting such a radical stance that even some more realistic positions on the part of its allies sound like “eager” to achieve peace.
The UK is interested in projecting itself internationally with the ongoing conflict, leading a global pro-sanctions and pro-military aid campaign to Kiev. The US historically occupies this type of position, but there is strong popular pressure on Biden to avoid a new war, which leads Washington to take a more realistic stance. Only in the EU there is a more genuine interest in peace, as the conflict directly affects the European continent and impacts trade and energy supply, leading Europeans to also act realistically when advising Zelensky. The UK, on the other hand, as not a member of the EU and being free from US social pressures, remains able to occupy this position of “global anti-Russian leader”, which is why it has acted in such a destabilizing way.
It is questionable, however, how much force the UK will have to actually encourage Kiev to carry out military resistance. With the undeniable Russian victory and global demand for peace, the most likely scenario for the short-medium future is that Boris Johnson himself will soon be increasingly questioned by the British public opinion, losing legitimacy due to his pro-war positions.
We will fight till the last ukrop alive 🇬🇧🇺🇦
More like, “We will have the Ukrainians fight until the last drop of Ukrainian blood – only in this way can we sufficiently weaken Russia for conquest, as we have weakened and conquered every vassal in our Empire.”
BoJo certainly need to divert some- things didn’t look so good before Russia got MSMs attention. I bet he feels relived.
Now he’s UK’s Nero, fiddling away to his heart’s content, while the world burns from the fires he set on the sly.
The British racist bastards have historical hatred of Russia, but are too weak and pathetic on their own so they use the idiotic Americans to fan wars all over the world, in the process they have bankrupted America while they still use financial scams to feed their population. India is slowly buying the British petty backstabbing shop keepers.
The UK is the Empire of Financial Scams. It’s the only empire it has left. (but not for long).
Only the scumbag politicians, not the people.
The british people openly support their gvnt bc theyre suckers for a morality guilt trip. Every time its about “tolerance/levelling up/equality! blah blah. Plus, tbritain has no economy or wealth whatsoever so theyre hopelessly dependent to do anything about it anyway even if they woke up. Sad overpopulated failing nation that UK is.
err nope; only the dumb effs that are up to their 5th jab and even many of them are now turning against these Globalist charlatans.
Well, ‘the people’ better get their fugging heads on straight before the UK finally sinks into the abyss of total inconsequentiality.
Agreed, but there seems to be too many dumb ffs, including 99% of my own family that are all professional or serious high up academics. It beggars belief.
They just want Ukraine to sacrifice them selfs to drag it out till either Poland invades under a false promise of providing aid, starting WWIII.
Or
To stop The dpr/LPR becoming Russia, so any invasion then is a direct aggression vs Russia, unprovocated btw. AND WILL JUST PROVE THE WEST IS THE REAL TERRORIST.
Jeez, how many times does that have to be proved before it’s proven?
Reports in the Anglosphere media have no basis in reality. The US has no reason to deviate from their long-term strategy of destabilizing Russia. The Anglosphere politicians can ride this out as long as they want. They can restoke the interest of the voting public every so often with reenforcement of their Russian devil propagand narrative, but with no “stop-loss”, no coffins coming back to Ohio, no absurd claims about elusive victory. The Ukrotards are content to have the country further degnerate in the name of Banderpism. Ukraine is essentially a gas-station condom that the US is using to try to fuck the Russians, and they’re quite content to throw it away once it serves it’s purpose.
I use trojans to F your mother, what nigga!
Please excuse that comment. I try not to let him use the internet but he keeps getting around the parental blocks. Derick is coming to terms with his sexuality and still suffers from flashbacks due to his time in the French Foreign Legion. He sat in an oasis the whole time eating watermelon, but there you go.
Your momma was too ugly fir anyone to fork….it’s the reason she forked with a cockroach and gave you life
Interesting way to describe international politics
The previous strategy of the west was “change through trade” where the theory was more engagement and exchange of ideas would happen with trade and improved standard of livings and education.
Russia changed this, as they and China are just using trace to arm and become more impressive.
Huh? That’s what the west is doing lmao
Funny guy.
‘change through trade’ … lol So you fell for that nonsense too, eh?
Reality is about to bit – hard. Today is the day the Petro-dollar died.
Nah, it’s still there. Just a bit more crumpled and bruised.
UK has long been anti-Russian, it peruses the same policy that led to WWII.
This time it encourages the Ukraine by turning to a repressive Nazi-regime, as was done with Germany. The goal is to weaken or destroy Russia by the means of Ukraine.
This time however, the British leadership is made of morons believing their own propaganda. UK believes that Ukraine is winning the current war with Russia.
Anyway, what will come next? At what point will the UK turn against Ukraine, as it did with Germany?
When its Nazi hordes attack Hungary? Ukraine has already lost the war, no matter how long it will fight.
It has taken a huge damage and losses of lives and population. The economic damage is already horrible. If Ukraine sides with the UK for longer, Ukraine will share the fate of Nazi-Germany, meaning total destruction. The blind fanaticism of its Leaders and military is the same that destroyed Europe in WWII.
What was the question?
What’s the meaning of the ukronazi’s universe?
CNN refuses to explain. WaPo is stuttering and I’ve yet to hear from the Atlantic Council or Amnesty Intl.
Russia has a voice, USA has a voice, Britain has a voice, France has a voice, Ukraine is a puppet and Germany has no voice, the Germans should really start to wake up and wonder why the are in Ukraine, Poland camp and are just a ff-ing puppet.
Is Bojo still making comments in public after ‘happy hour’?
I bet he feels relieved Putin gave him a red-herring. He probably doesn’t know he is being sucker-punched by the same guy, on the economic battlefield. NY exodus is already a fact. Let’s go Britain!
The British are absolute masters of dividing people against eachother. They can sit on their little island and not have to face the consequences of anything of the chaos they sow around the world. Those MANPADS are going to flow around in Europe and create all sorts of dissasters that will in turn have to be countered with less rights and more surveliance in more and more centralized states. We will in effect get some sort of EUSSR in the west.
What do you expect from an overpopulated corrupt socialist nation that produces NOTHING, sells nothing, yet everyone lives off gvnt benefits. They need to have their noses in everyone elses business to keep that socialist gravy coming in. After WW2 britain got the biggest payout from the martial plan (rebuilding funds) despite being the smallest nation, and still managed to piss it all away and be back to being an urbanised ghetto of welfare recipients less than 20 years later. To hide this social incompetence, they import an ever increasing amount of non white third worlders to use as media fodder.
Chaos is one of the Brits’ few exports. The rest of its few exports are crap but that one is top quality.
Sort of a ‘if I can’t do it, I’ll sure mess it up for you’ kind of attitude.
What is being left out, is the reason Boris and his Government are freaking out that Ukraine and Russia might end up on friendly terms. Why is that? Ukraine – Boris and the UK Foreign Office – working with the Clinton Foundation on the Steele Dossier. Then you have the true story behind the Skriples and does it link into the Steele Dossier and what was happening in Ukraine? £70 million, the US invested in Porton Down, just down the road from Salisbury and the UK Military Chemical Research Department. Then you have all those bio-weapon labs that Russia found in Ukraine, complete with a lot of paperwork. Why is Boris getting through those NATO Strength Pampers, quicker than Dementia Joe, and his Vatican Strength Diapers? Not forgetting how many UK military or Special Forces were in the helicopters that went down over Mariupol? What is Boris hiding? Wasn’t Boris in the Bullingdon Club, the same time as Nat Rothschild?
Britain is merely a fart in the world stage as any power. The rat that roared is the brits
Nuke uk gov
Ok let’s nuke UK. Stupid childish talk f*** off
I agree but it sure would catch a whole lot of foreign expat financial thiefs, grifters, despots and robber barons with their pants down.
Church of London’s long been a safe haven for them and their loot.

UK probably wants to enforce its multicultural agenda in Ukraine such that it spills into Russia. Its clear both countries are still predominantly white. The UK is probably ground zero for multiculturalism, which has failed, and it wants to double down on that.
Its interesting, I just finished The Wanting Seed which is a book about population control and issues set in a futuristic England. It starts off with society being strictly controlled and people only promoted if they have no children, and a good way to deal with that is to go ‘homo’, wear makeup, chop off your gonads etc. However, society failed after harvests failed and people started eating each other. Eventually they discovered that the earth was only fertile if the bred, and so everyone started to have sex and children. Then, to control the population they started wars. In this case the wars were fake. Units were marched into trenches against an enemy equally matched and they would go over the top and kill each other with the rest being mopped up by an overseer and their bodies packaged as food.
Point is, all the homos that had their gonads chopped off so they could get promoted were upset as noe being homo was almost a crime and people needed to procreate and breed, but they couldn’t. In short they mutilated themselves for social gain. Just like the UK, with its multicultural and transgender policies. Its hard for them to admit they got it wrong and people would rather be like Russia.
The UK could never accept the idea that they messed up, that they have killed their own people and chopped off their gonads. They will leve forever in denial and attack any threat to that ever being realised.
The idea of perpetual war in the book is also interesting as they tricked the criminal elements into nationalism, a bit like the Azov regiments. Fooled them into thinking they were fighting for their great country and sent them all into the mincemeat machine.
Boris Johnson is actually a lost soul. I see in his eyes a man that would would for the best but is surrounded by everything that is opposed to that. If he is calling certain shots, its not really his doing. Seriously, they are breaking his balls over a party in lockdown? Really? The photos do noy look like an out of ctrol rave or drunken orgy. Its pathetic. I feel sorry for him as he has no authority, its just not like it was 20 years ago.
Very true. Im living in britain and see this all the time- especially in the cities like london, leeds, etc.
Walking down british streets nowadays is like being in a zombie movie. 90% are elderly or disabled, 9% are non whites, and the 1% of native brits are so low IQ and brainwashed you lose hope. And the british gvnt is endlessly importing more people into the country its going to resemble an anthill very soon.
I transited through Heathrow once with a 3 hr wait and thought I’d landed in Islamabad.
That classic British overbite was developed from years of sucking up to complaint dictators worldwide with cash to deposit in London offshore accounts.
Boris Johnson and the Tories must go. Their continued support of supplying Ukraine with military weapons is the worst outcome for the people of Ukraine, as well as the people of the UK. British people will suffer and this has already started with the high cost of fuels, gas and electricity. This will result in food problems and shortages. Boris Johnson is a moron that can no longer be tolerated.
everything getting expensive not just in Britain all over the world.and Boris Johnson is a good prime Minister.len you r a maggot.
Well…the best part of you trickled down your moms legs.
He’s a prime something, all right.
I bet the media will remember bojo fondly, just like they do margaret thatcher, despite her being the most corrupt mafia don like biden or hillary- her son was infamous at the time for looting the public funds into their own hands, yet it all got covered up by american media bc she got cosy with raegan
Russia’s mop up should extend to Boris’ mop, I guess you’re saying.
zipperlinsky want bad fish chips, brits refer him to lgbt alabama hillbilly blinker for free burger
Yuri you are urinating yourself again naughty girl .. you are nothing but hot air..💨💨💨💨
The UK is a clearing house for all the world’s ills and its ill-gotten gains. That’s the only way it has managed to survive.
UK has always been a slave state to israel and the zionists/U.S imperialists. Brits are too socialist and dependent to care.
