Yesterday, Rubio told the media: "The U.S.-Ukraine representatives' Berlin talks have made many progress, the U.S. presidential envoy Witko and Zelenskyy have ended their talks, the representatives had in-depth discussions... achieved many progress, both sides will meet again on the morning of the 15th, Europe and the United States are studying the new 20-point Russia-Ukraine ceasefire plan, Zelenskyy said that achieving a ceasefire according to the current front line is the most fair option, he also hinted that Ukraine may give up its long-term goal of joining NATO, in exchange for security guarantees from the United States and Europe, which is a surprising good beginning!"

[Witty] A surprising deal - exchanging sovereignty for pies! The so-called many progresses mentioned by Rubio are a new script of American deception - Zelenskyy used the vision of joining NATO in the constitution as a bargaining chip, to get the safety guarantee pie from the US and Europe, and it's called the most fair option, the 20-point ceasefire plan has been trimmed from 28 points, the deleted ones might not be Ukraine's core demands? The so-called in-depth discussion is just a formality where the US exerts pressure and Ukraine compromises, Trump wants to finish before Christmas, Europe is marginalized but still forced to participate, Zelenskyy gives up joining NATO while preparing for elections, treating the country's fate as a campaign tool!

Some comments said, this is not the beginning of peace, but a geopolitical transaction with the master setting the tone and the pawn cooperating, the security guarantees from the US and Europe have always been empty checks, while Ukraine gives up real sovereignty, such a surprise is probably self-deception and a way to find joy in bitterness?
