KREMLIN TO EUROPE: “THANKS FOR THE PEACE PLAN – WE HATE IT.”
Moscow just dismissed Europe’s counter-proposal to Trump’s 28-point Ukraine “peace plan,” calling it “completely unconstructive.”
Meaning: Europe didn’t hand over the territory, NATO veto, and timeline control Russia wants, so the Kremlin flipped the table.
Here’s the real tell:
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov basically admitted the U.S. plan works for Russia, at least in “many provisions.”
Europe’s version? Not so much.
That’s the geopolitical split in one headline – Washington floats compromises Kyiv hates, Europe digs its heels in, and Moscow plays them against each other.
Meanwhile Putin’s doing his usual mob-boss routine:
He says the U.S. proposal could be a foundation for peace… but if Ukraine refuses, Russia will “advance further.”
Classic “nice country you got there, shame if anything happened to it.”
Expect Moscow to milk the divide: praising the U.S. plan just enough to pressure Europe and Kyiv, while hinting at escalation.
The Kremlin smells leverage, and leverage means one thing: they’re not done pushing.
