More US Two Face Diplomacy??

I’m updating below with additional information:

There are claims being made in the media this peace deal is all in favour of Russia- This narrative is very concerning because it’s being pushed to create a specific belief in the mind of the reader. That if Russia doesn’t accept this so called deal, which is allegedly so grossly skewed to their benefit, well, then Russia must simply be irrational, barbaric and the like. Russia is not, but the groundwork for that type of spin is being created.

1st thing on my mind: I’m really wondering if the US is working towards pushing Zelensky out? The massive corruption scandal, really isn’t a good look for the so called Ukrainian “democracy” propped up by the West.

2nd- Is the yet another example of the US feigning diplomacy while planning for more/expanded warfare?

28 point peace plan??

Donald Trump approves of a secret deal being proposed by US and Russian officials that would force Ukraine to give up some of its arms and lease key territories to Russia, it has been reported.

The deal would require Kyiv to cede control of the eastern Donbas region while legally retaining ownership of it, in exchange for an undisclosed rental fee from Moscow, officials familiar with the deal told the Telegraph.

Anyone find that odd? Moscow is going to pay rent to Ukraine?

While Zelensky was in Turkey, allegedly talking peace. The Pentagon sent a high level delegation to Kiev. Who’d they meet with if Zelensky was out of country? WSJ via Archive.ph

Secretary Driscoll is traveling to Ukraine to get a sense of facts on the ground. He will participate in meetings in Ukraine and report his findings back to the White House,” said a senior administration official. “The president has been clear that it is time to stop the killing and make a deal to end the war.”
Driscoll’s mission is to restart peace talks on Trump’s behalf, another of the officials said.
Driscoll’s boss, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, hasn’t visited Kyiv since taking office in January. The decision to send the civilian head of the Army, whose job is focused mainly on training and equipping soldiers, is unusual. But Trump often relies on unorthodox emissaries, including former real-estate developer Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy.

The U.S. delegation in Kyiv, which includes Gen. Chris Donahue, the top U.S. Army commander in Europe, and Gen. Randy George, the Army chief of staff, was expected to discuss developments on the battlefield and weapons production while in Ukraine, in addition to ideas for halting the war.

Donahue has been a key figure in sending weapons to Ukraine, dating back to his time as the commander of the Army’s 18th Airborne Corps in 2022 when it formed a unit to help coordinate military aid to Kyiv.

Driscoll has led an effort to revamp the Army’s decades-old acquisition system. Trump called Driscoll a “killer” in an Oval Office announcement that he was deploying the National Guard to Memphis, Tenn., and refers to him as “the drone guy,” a reference to Driscoll’s focus on fielding a million new drones for the Army. Along with his position as Army Secretary, Trump named Driscoll to lead the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.

Witkoff, who has been the administration’s point man on negotiations with the Kremlin, helped prepare Driscoll for the talks in Kyiv, one of the officials said. The two know each other from working on Trump’s presidential campaign.

Driscoll and George flew to Germany on Monday, where they received intelligence briefings at a U.S. military base with Donahue, the officials said. The group discussed the battlefield over maps with soldiers who have been working on Ukraine for years. They then flew to Poland on Tuesday and boarded an overnight train for Kyiv late Tuesday night.

I’m just seeing yet another US peace ruse while preparing for escalation.

Two-Front Diplomacy: Zelensky in Turkey, Trump Officials in Kyiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launched a new round of peace efforts on Wednesday, holding talks in Turkey as US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and top American generals arrived in Kyiv on a parallel mission from the Trump administration to revive negotiations with both Kyiv and Moscow.

Two face diplomacy- that’s what it looks like to me!

Zelensky arrived on a working visit to Turkey on Wednesday, Nov. 19, where he was met at the airport by National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, Ankara Deputy Mayor Faruk Keyluoglu reported on X.

Of course I could be wrong but this just all feels very off.

US officials said the plan was still being worked on, and that any final agreement would require concessions from both sides, not just Ukraine. Some of the points being circulated now – including some that appear weighted toward Moscow’s demands – are not final, officials said, and will almost certainly evolve. During a Thursday afternoon briefing, the White House press secretary said the plan remained “in flux.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested late Wednesday the document was a “list of potential ideas” rather than a completed proposal.

Update # 2– ExplainerToday

Although the full document has not been made public, the key elements described by multiple newsrooms follow a consistent pattern.

So the full document, which is a list of potential ideas in flux, hasn’t been released? How could it be?
