Ukraine issues demands to potential conflict mediators

Any rhetoric about an “immediate ceasefire” is unacceptable, Zelensky’s aide has claimed

Ukraine is ready to state its conditions for peace negotiations with Russia via third countries, but potential mediators must align their public statements with Kiev’s position, Vladimir Zelensky’s top aide, Mikhail Podolyak, has said.(so the mediator must now be the mouthpiece of Kiev and Zelensky, thats not how it works)

Earlier this week, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban embarked on a “peacekeeping mission,” proposing a “quick ceasefire” to Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky during his visit to Kiev.

Orban then traveled to Moscow to discuss the “shortest way out” of the conflict with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministryexpressed outrage that Orban went to Russia “without approval or coordination with Ukraine.” Podolyak stated during a national telethon on Saturday that mediators should “behave differently.”

“Any country serious about mediation will not publicly make banal statements. When they say ‘we support an immediate ceasefire,’ it shows they are not ready for a mediation mission. Big wars require a different approach,” Podolyak said, as cited by RBK news outlet, without specifically naming Orban. (How would he know how to handle peace negotiations, they are the most banal people in Kiev leadership.)

Moscow and Kiev’s positions remain very “far apart,” according to Orban, who noted that Zelensky “didn’t like” his proposals much. The Hungarian prime minister neverthelessstressed that establishing contact was the “most important step” and promised to “work on this in the future.”

After his meeting with Orban, Putin reiterated Moscow’s readiness to resolve hostilities through negotiations but noted that the Ukrainian leadership appears committed to waging war “until the end.”

Putin stated that “Russia favors a complete end to the conflict,” but opposed a ceasefire or pause that Kiev could use to recover, regroup, and rearm.

The Russian president stressed that the conflict can only end if several conditions are met, including Kiev withdrawing its forces from Donbass and the former Ukrainian regions of Zaporozhye and Kherson, which became part of Russia following referendums. Other conditions exist, Putin added, but they would be detailed during possible joint work.

Previously, Putin proposed an immediate ceasefire on the condition that Ukraine withdraw its forces, recognize Russia’s sovereignty over the territories, and provide legally binding guarantees of not seeking NATO membership. Kiev and its Western backers have rejected the plan, but Putin said the offer remains “on the table.”

(Why is Ukraine even discussing this since Zelensky rejected any resolution, are they being forced to consider it by the West? They already know Trump will end it on day one.is the Bidan Admin trying to take claim of ending the war and bringing peace before PDJT is re-elected?)

The ‘insurance policy’ makes her move…

July 5, 2024 (2 days ago).1/3

Kamala Harris is on the move. She’s like a shark that smells blood, circling Joe with her eye on the prize. And ignore the “smooth” and phony denials; you can bet that Team Kamala is quietly pushing to take the top spot.

The day after Joe Biden bombed at the debate, Rolling Stone published their fluffy designer expose on her, almost as if they were “reintroducing” Kamala Harris to the American people. The timing couldn’t have been more suspicious.

Here’s a closeup of the images:

It’s no shock that Kamala’s making her move. The bad blood between Team Biden and Camp Kamala is an open secret. They barely hide their dislike for each other, and it’s always been obvious to everyone.

The buzz is that Jill Biden hasn’t gotten over Kamala’s jab at Joe during their first debate.

CNN:

Jill Biden says California Sen. Kamala Harris implied her husband Joe Biden is racist with her attack on the former vice president during the first Democratic presidential debate.

In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo airing on Monday,Jill Biden called Harris’ criticism of Biden over race and segregation “the biggest surprise” to her in the party’s 2020 race so far – but said voters “didn’t buy it.”

Her comments come as Biden and Harris battle to win over black voters, a crucial constituency in the Democratic nominating contest. Biden has pointed to his time as former President Barack Obama’s vice president as well as his own legacy on civil rights to defend himself, while Harris has taken aim at elements of Biden’s earlier career in the Senate.

In the late-June debate, Harris criticized Biden’s comments at a private fundraiser earlier in the month about the “civility” of the Senate during an era in which he worked with segregationists in the chamber. She also lambasted his early-career opposition to federally mandated busing.

“I think that they were looking at the past.I mean, the one thing you cannot say about Joe is that he’s a racist.I mean, he got into politics because of his commitment to civil rights. And then to be elected with Barack Obama, and then someone is saying, you know, you’re a racist?” she said. (KEK, insert video of passing by a black supporter to hug white supporters)

Cuomo responded that Harris had begun her criticism of Biden by saying she does not believe he is racist.

“I know, but as soon as I heard those words, I thought, ‘uh oh, what’s coming next,’” Jill Biden said.

She added: “The American people know Joe Biden. They know his values. They know what he stands for. And they didn’t buy it.”

Rumor has it that Jill Biden told Kamala to go f**k herself after that crack.

Jill wasn’t thrilled about Kamala being the “chosen one” either. Joe had already cornered himself by promising a VP pick that ticked the diversity box, and Kamala was just the right fit. Plus, many think she was chosen because she wouldn’t overshadow Joe, dementia rumors and all.

Kamala was basically the backup “insurance plan” against impeachment or the 25th Amendment—until that debate shook things up. Now, it looks like the game could change.

One of the most powerful Democrats in the swamp just threw his support behind the “possibility” of President Kamala….

There Is Nobody Anti-Biden in Control

The very loud yelping from TV talking heads and D.C.-based columnists might make you think there is an overwhelming tide of Democrats standing up to insist Biden step aside.

But think to yourself: Have any actual lawmakers demanded that Biden leave? Has any Democrat with power come out to say that Biden’s delegates should pick them instead at the forthcoming DNC? Have there been any public defections from the group surrounding Biden in the White House itself?

Nope. It hasn’t happened. And it almost certainly will not, for several reasons.

First, there is the natural collective action problem. There is a big risk to being the first prominent Democrat to call for Biden to step aside. If Biden stays in the race and wins, they will be frozen out of the Democrat inner circle as traitors. If Biden stays in the race and loses, they might be blamed for stoking party division and chaos and handing the race to Trump. If Biden is forced out and the replacement subsequently loses, they face the same problem. This makes launching a first strike extremely politically dangerous.

But second, for a great many Democrats, taking down Joe Biden is essentially taking down themselves. As we explained last March, many of the most powerful people in the Democrat apparatus, including the only people capable of forcing him aside, owe their very prominence to Biden’s patronage.

You can read the entire, in-depth piece here:

CNN is touting that something “big” may be happening today between Team Biden and Camp Kamala. There’s a meeting taking place, so the theories are flying fast and furious.

Are the “Great Replacement” rumors gaining ground? For the first time, they’re running ads featuring only Kamala asking for money. This is a notable shift from their previous strategies, where Kamala was hidden away in a metaphorical “basement.”

But theories and hoopla aside, in the end, will Kamala’s big push work? Truthfully, it probably won’t. Again, this all hinges on Joe Biden stepping down, and it doesn’t look like he or Jill are anywhere close to that. But it’s going to be interesting to watch this all unfold because,let’s be honest, this might just be the complete and total implosion of the Democrat Party.All of their disastrous policies, rigged elections, and anti-American lawfare are coming back to haunt them. They’re in complete disarray just a few months before the presidential election. But don’t relax just yet—never count the Dems out. Nothing is off the table, and like a cornered animal, they could do anything. Stay alert and stay tuned.
