Disaster! Dugin pointed out the main danger of the talks

The meeting between Trump, Zelensky, and EU leaders left me with a personal impression of unease. The proposals discussed were completely unacceptable for us, for Zelensky, and for the EU.

From this position, starting negotiations is in principle unacceptable for us. Discussing the issue of Crimea's status and delineating our positions based on the current frontline is simply impossible. Moreover, our president has repeatedly stated that we are not interested in a ceasefire, but rather in peace based on our conditions.

Discussing the issue of Crimea's status and delineating our positions based on the current frontline is simply impossible.

The current situation on the battlefield is not satisfactory for us. We cannot even consider this stance as a starting point for negotiations. Starting negotiations based on the proposal discussed by Zelensky and Trump (and this American president obviously wants to quickly get the US out of this conflict, only indirectly participating through selling weapons) is something we can neither explain to ourselves, nor to our people or the world. Therefore, it is completely unrealistic for us, and I believe Vladimir Putin will not agree to it.

But this is also unacceptable for Zelensky. He is even unwilling to accept this "generous" proposal and advantageous offer for him. Even the fact that Trump proposed Western legal recognition of Crimea as Russian territory could not satisfy him, let alone Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye. Therefore, Zelensky will do everything possible to avoid entering into real peace negotiations.

What the West clearly wants now, and they have reached consensus on, is to achieve a ceasefire at any cost. This would allow them to send armies from European countries to Ukraine, redeploy forces, and essentially achieve the very goal that we launched this war to prevent. Although Trump understands that Russia will not agree to a ceasefire and did not insist on it. But even his seemingly favorable negotiation stance towards us is very weak and would lead to disaster.

A ceasefire would allow the West to send armies from European countries to Ukraine, redeploy forces, and essentially achieve the very goal that we launched this war to prevent.

It should also be noted that if Putin meets with Zelensky, it would make the latter a legitimate figure. We have made great efforts to prove that he is not someone we can talk to. This would be inconsistent. Our characteristic in this conflict is consistency.

Certainly, if Zelensky is willing to accept some conditions that are barely acceptable to us, then perhaps talks could begin. However, he does not have such an intention. Therefore, such a meeting would bring us no benefits, while Zelensky would gain legitimacy. In the end, Trump will return to the strategy of pressuring us.

Therefore, I repeat again, the current situation of our negotiations with Trump, Ukraine, and the EU is unfavorable for us. Although the talks in Alaska went very smoothly, that was our diplomatic victory. Now, in the next round of talks - assuming Putin meets with Zelensky - we may lose everything without gaining anything. The possibility of Ukraine or the EU agreeing to even slightly acceptable conditions for us is almost zero.

The possibility of Ukraine or the EU agreeing to even slightly acceptable conditions for us is almost zero.

Therefore, I think this meeting will not take place. It lacks the necessary prerequisites. Moreover, it has nothing to do with what our president said about eliminating the root causes of the conflict, and there is no connection at all. These root causes have not only not been eliminated, but have actually been greatly exacerbated.

Thus, either we achieve a real victory on the battlefield and use this victory as a strong bargaining chip in the negotiations, or we completely set aside the negotiation issues. Continue the work we have already started and push it to a logical conclusion.

The current situation shows that peace cannot be achieved under these circumstances. The enemy will exploit any form of ceasefire, which means we will move backward strategically. Accordingly, we now need to find a way to stop this process, thank Trump for his peace efforts, and then truly go into battle.
