On Sunday, Putin first proposed direct talks with Ukraine to bring the three-year war to a close during a televised address. “We are proposing that Kyiv resume direct negotiations without any preconditions,” Putin said. “We offer the Kyiv authorities to resume negotiations already on Thursday, in Istanbul.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY WIRE

Putin agrees to incremental, temporary ceasefire while Trump seeks more ties with Russia in phone call

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to an incremental and temporary ceasefire during a marathon phone call with President Donald Trump, which included the possibility of a peace deal in the overseas conflict. Trump and Putin began their phone call at 10:00 a.m. and it lasted at least an hour and a half before the White House signaled to reporters that the conversation was over. The White House released a summary of the call, writing that the two world leaders “agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.” “This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infr...

US envoy Witkoff leaves Moscow without cease-fire agreement after Putin rejects Trump’s terms

By Caitlin Doornbos | New York Post Special presidential envoy Steve Witkoff left Moscow on Friday without a cease-fire deal in hand after Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected President Trump’s terms to begin winding down the war with Ukraine. Putin met with Witkoff late Thursday after having kept the American waiting since roughly 12:30 p.m., according to flight tracking data and Russian reports, but ultimately sent him home with “signals” for Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told reporters. “A lot still needs to be done,” Peskov said of the cease-fire agreement, noting that Witkoff “presented additional information to the Russian side.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Kremlin denies Trump’s claim that Putin is ready for peacekeepers in Ukraine

By Diana Glebova | New York Post The Kremlin on Tuesday rebutted President Trump’s claim that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is ready for European peacekeepers to be installed in Ukraine. “There is a position on this matter that was expressed by Russian Foreign Minister [Sergey] Lavrov,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a press conference. “Russia media site TASS reported. I have nothing to add to this and nothing to comment on.” Peskov was referring to Lavrov’s recent remarks asserting that Russia would find it unacceptable if NATO-aligned troops were put in Ukraine after a peace deal is negotiated.

By Oliver JJ Lane | Breitbart Marco Rubio and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov have met for talks on the future of the Ukraine war, but even before sitting down, Russia made clear it was approaching things with a hard bargaining mindset.

Putin lowers nuclear-strike threshold as Ukraine launches long-range missiles into Russia

By James Lynch | National Review Russian president Vladimir Putin revised Russia’s nuclear doctrine Tuesday, reducing its threshold for using nuclear weapons just as the Russian military announced that Ukraine had launched long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. into Russian territory. Putin’s new nuclear doctrine proclaims that Russia can use nuclear weapons in response to an attack from a non-nuclear state with support from a nuclear state, a clear reference to U.S. support for Ukraine. The doctrine formalizes a policy Putin announced in September during a televised meeting with top officials. “[Russian] President [Vladimir Putin] gave the relevant instructions prior. The president himself stated that the preparation of the amendments was in the final stage. The updat...
