Tucker Carlson announced a potential interview with Volodymyr Zelensky only to have the spokesperson for Zelensky refute the assertion.
The people for Zelenskyy later denied any agreement for an interview. Per Politico: “Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office denied Thursday that the Ukrainian president had agreed to a sit-down interview with American right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson.”
“The President of Ukraine has a completely different schedule, and Tucker Carlson is not on it,” presidential spokesperson Sergii Nykyforov said Thursday morning, while casting doubt on Carlson’s Ukrainian sources. (read more)
Given what I have personally witnessed and discovered about the conflict in Ukraine, I could not see Zelenskyy giving Tucker Carlson an interview. Almost everything we see about the USA/Ukraine -v- Russia conflict is through the highly controlled prism of the U.S State Dept.
Again, I would emphasize…. have we seen one front line report from any USA MSM outlet? One report from the trenches, bunkers or on-the-ground action from near the front lines of the conflict? No, no we have not. No reporters with helmets and flak jackets giving breathless reports from the fields and battlegrounds. Nothing.
Meanwhile, Hungarian President Viktor Orban is trying to end the conflict and the Ukraine officials do not want the ping-pong battles of drone warfare and guided missiles to stop.
(VIA AP) During his first visit to neighboring Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday that the war was Europe’s “most important issue,” and recommended an immediate cease-fire.
Orban is widely seen as having the warmest relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin among European Union leaders, and his visit was a rare gesture in a tumultuous relationship with Ukraine as Budapest has repeatedly leaned toward Moscow. (read more)
My first trip after assuming the Presidency of the Council of the EU led me to Kyiv for a meeting with President @ZelenskyyUa. I assessed the possibility of a deadline-bound ceasefire, that could provide an opportunity to speed up peace negotiations. I will report my findings to… pic.twitter.com/TqPeDAvsoe
MOSCOW (AP) — Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán visited Moscow on Friday to discuss prospects for a peaceful settlement in Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a rare trip to Russia by a European leader that drew condemnation from Kyiv and European leaders.
Orbán’s visit comes only days after he made a similar unannounced trip to Ukraine, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and proposed that Ukraine consider agreeing to an immediate cease-fire with Russia.
“The number of countries that can talk to both warring sides is diminishing,” Orbán said. “Hungary is slowly becoming the only country in Europe that can speak to everyone.” (read more)
Many people are saying that Viktor Orban may be one of only a few men capable of stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine. Perhaps that is true; however, I strongly believe that the ultimate decisionmakers who will end the Russia -v- Ukraine conflict is not an EU leader, but rather the American voters.
The day after Donald Trump wins the November 2024 election, everything changes.
The pathway to peace in Ukraine will immediately begin if President Donald Trump wins the election.
“Peace is the prize” ~ Donald Trump
That’s the non-pretending reality of the situation…..
…. And every pragmatic and intellectually honest person in the EU says the same!

The nations toppling their budgets to provide blank checks to Ukraine should know where their money is being spent. We all know that a large portion of the money is circulated back into the military-industrial complex. Yet, the “greatest salesman in history” has certainly received his cut. Latest reports claim that First Lady Olena Zelenska purchased a $4.48 million Bugatti.
There have been reports of Olena Zelenska going on lavish shopping sprees in New York and other cities while her husband begs foreign nations for billions. Of course, one must maintain their image when they are on the cover of Vogue and other high-end fashion magazines. The latest debacle claims that Olena purchased a Bugatti Tourbillon, retailing €3.9 million, ahead of its official release date. Someone from Bugatti’s Paris dealership leaked the information to the press, including a receipt of purchase.
Now, why would someone need to drive a V16 1,800-horse-powered vehicle around an allegedly war-torn nation? The Ukrainian government says that this is simply fake news. I cannot confirm if this is factual or a rumor.
I can confirm that the aid sent to Ukraine has been misused repeatedly.
Even the Pentagon has admitted it cannot account for where billion of dollars toward Ukraine has gone. Last year around this time, the Pentagon admitted that they lost $6.2 BILLION in aid for Ukraine due to an accounting error. Where did the money go? Did the money go to contractors? Politicians? Ukraine? The government refuses to say. Deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh explained that they originally thought $3 billion went missing, but the figure they are admitting to the public is closer to $6.2 billion. “We have confirmed that for FY23, the final calculation is $3.6 billion, and for FY22 it is $2.6 billion, for a combined total of $6.2 billion,” Singh said. “These valuation errors in no way limit or restricted the size of any of our PDAs or impacted the provision of support to Ukraine,” she added as if taxpayers think that we aren’t doing enough for a foreign nation when America is a desperate state. Ukraine has revealed similar sentiments about missing funds, leading Zelensky to simply fire scapegoats.
There have been claims that Zelensky purchased multi-million dollar homes in Miami. Other reports claim he has purchased a yacht or businesses like casinos. No one knows for sure. Yet, back in October 2021, Zelensky’s financial dealings surfaced in a series of documents that were leaked as part of the so-called “Pandora Papers,” which consisted of nearly 12 million files. That was a leak given to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). This massive trove of files that became public revealed the secret financial dealings of world leaders and celebrities — Zelenskyy was included. He has always been sketchy and problematic.
The Bugatti story may be fake news, but Zelensky is undoubtedly profiting on this war. World leaders spending endlessly on this war and making contributions to NATO owe it to their tax-paying constituents to account for every dollar sent overseas. Half the nation blindly cheers every aid package, disregarding how the money is spent. Those in Ukraine know Zelensky is a corrupt crook. They are tired of seeing their men sent off to die while Zelensky parades around the world.

COMMENT: Living in Eastern Europe, I can see how your May 7th target marked Putin’s change in attitude. Before May 7th, it was others who brought up nuclear war. May 7th saw Putin yield to his critics, and ever since, he has been directly warning the world about nuclear war. I think your model pinpointed this change.
Very interesting
Grygoriy
REPLY: Yes. I was concerned that either Ukraine would do something stupid and assassinate Putin or he would yield to his critics. It seems the second option was the outcome. His critics have long held that he should have just invaded Ukraine and conquered it like the US did with Iraq and then release Ukraine after eliminating the anti-Russian faction. Putin did not want to appear to be an invader and termed it a special operation to defend the Donbas. It was Victoria Nuland who installed an UNELECTED government and then instructed them to attack the Donbas to start this civil war and call them “terrorists” because they wanted to separate from Kiev. This article is from April 2014.
What I find really disturbing is how the press has rewritten history and now ignore all the facts to paint Putin as evil when Nuland started this war to draw in Putin.

A week after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un has declared that he will send troops to Ukraine in the Donetsk region. Russia has already received two million rounds of ammunition, ballistic missiles, and rocket launchers from North Korea, but this marks the first time that troops will actively engage in battle.
Furthermore, Ilya Ponomarev, a former Russian member of parliament, stated that North Korea has strengthened Russia’s relationship with China, as China could use North Korea as a middleman to avoid Western sanctions when sending goods or military equipment to Russia. “China is cautious not to fall foul of secondary sanctions by the US, but North Korea is not in danger,” he explained, calling North Korea one of Russia’s “key” partners. “So, there is no problem for the Chinese to assist North Koreans and then North Koreans to make trade with Russia and benefit from this both financially and in terms of military development.”
A spokesperson for the Pentagon said that the troops will be used as cannon fodder in Putin’s “illegal war.” Is war ever legal? NATO is alarmed as the partnership has quickly advanced from pledging an allegiance to assisting one another if attacked to joining the war effort in Ukraine.
North Korea is a small nation whose inhabitants live in utter darkness from the rest of the world. One must question how many troops will defect once arriving in Ukraine, especially once they meet Russian soldiers and learn how much different life is for those living outside of the hermit kingdom. Kim Jong-Un will undoubtedly use the troop’s families as leverage to prevent any defectors, but one must wonder how effective these troops could be against Western-backed forces. North Korea has not fought in a war since the 1950s, and sadly, these troops may very well be positioned as cannon fodder.
Now, North Korea has not declared war on Ukraine. They are allegedly sending troops to assist in the reconstruction efforts in exchange for an annual sum of $115 million. “The goal is to rebuild a city destroyed by fighting,” said the unnamed official, without specifying further on the location.
South Korea certainly sees Russia as a clear enemy and is likely to up its efforts to support Ukraine and NATO. This opens the door for the West to send troops to Ukraine under the same premise of reconstruction. All the chess pieces are aligned and ready, with the Neocons simply waiting for the right moment to strike.

If there is one country that the West and Japan fear more than Russia, it is North Korea. Dictator Kim Jong-Un repeatedly threatens nuclear warfare, but that is his last grip on power as he knows his nation would be overtaken instantly if the threat did not exist. North Korea rolled out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin’s visit, where the two nations pledged to protect one another if attacked.
North Korea gave Putin the royal treatment during his visit, the first time Putin had gone to the hermit kingdom in 24 years. Putin’s picture was displayed around the nation alongside Jung-Un’s, which is a massive sign of respect in North Korea as the dictator’s picture must be displayed throughout households and public centers. He is upheld as a diety rather than a politician. Putin rode in the motorcade with Kim Jong-Un, parading around Pyongyang. Putin is desperate for allies as all of NATO has turned against Russia. Yet, North Korea has more to gain from this partnership.
The hermit kingdom has only China as a trading ally and partner as it has been exiled from the global economy. North Korea has been facing an ongoing famine and agriculture composes over 21% of the nation’s GDP. Farming and all other industries are completely controlled by the government. The nation could never be successful with or without open trade. Nearly half (44.7%) of North Korea’s GDP is derived from industrials such as cement and steel, but few are willing to open trade lines as they are sure to anger other nations due to international sanctions.
Kim pledged “full support and solidarity with the struggles of the Russian government, military and the people” and will help Russia “to protect its own sovereignty, safety and territorial stability.”
“Situations continue to be complicated and ever-changing, but I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that we will continue to strengthen and closely engage in strategic communication with the (Russian) leadership,” Kim added. Putin said that Russia would also act to protect North Korea if it were invaded, opening new opportunities for false flags. North Korea has allegedly been supplying Russia with arms, but Moscow really needs soldiers.
There is nothing more that Russia could do to anger the West. Perhaps Putin would have hesitated to call upon North Korea for help before, but he has nothing to lose now as the West is clearly moving to mobilize against Russia.

“I think Zelensky may be the greatest salesman of any politician who ever lived. Every time he comes to our country he walks away with $60 billion dollars and I like him!” Donald Trump said during a rally over the weekend. As a fellow businessman, Trump joked that he liked Zelensky for “The Art of the Deal” and for swindling the West out of countless billions. “Now, here’s the beauty. He just left four days ago with $60 billion, and he gets home, and he announces he needs another $60 billion. It never ends,” Trump claimed. “I will have that settled prior to take the White House as president-elect.”
The issue here is that Zelensky is not a salesman; he is an actor. The West has always been willing to fund Ukraine and began shelling out money to support Ukraine’s military over a decade ago. His job is to act the part, traveling the globe amid a “full-scale invasion” of his country to ask for money that has already been set aside for Ukraine. This also becomes the issue with Trump securing the White House as the establishment cannot end this war prematurely.
Russia has no plans to expand its empire. HONOR THE MINSK AGREEMENT TO END THE WAR! Politicians know that this is the only solution. Instead, they are offering Ukraine a potential seat at the table to join NATO, effectively beginning the next world war that your sons will be expected to fight. Putin has said it numerous times – hold elections in the Donbas areas and we will call a truce.
Now there are those who believe Russia is evil. Russia wants to expand its empire and conquer all of Europe, they mistakenly believe. They’ve long believed the dispelled myth that Trump has colluded with Russia to tamper with elections and sell out the United States. The left is now trying to portray a Trump victory as a victory for Putin. Should we not all declare victory if a world war is prevented?
Our computer has projected a Republican win on 4 out of 6 models. The information within Socrates is beyond the comprehension of one person. I cannot compute a Trump victory. Sure, the American people want him back in the White House, but the establishment and Neocons would rather assassinate him than have him act as president.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is once again offering Ukraine the option to end this senseless war. Putin said that he would order an immediate ceasefire and call a truce if Zelensky 1) withdraws troops from four annexes regions, and 2) declines any invitation to join NATO.
Putin is effectively attempting to prevent World War III. He knows that a global conflict will erupt instantaneous if Ukraine joins NATO thanks to Article V. His comments were given ahead of the summit in Switzerland in which world leaders are allegedly going to discuss peace talks. The option for peace has ALWAYS been on the table.
The West has been the instigator, and every word from Austin’s mouth is an outright lie no different from the Weapons of Mass Destruction. It was Victoria Nuland, who has a Ukrainian heritage, who selected the interim given and directed them to start this civil war to attack the Donbas. His famous call said it all – the Neocons were waging war against Russia – “Fuck the EU!” she boldly said. Now Blinken is a ruthless Neocon who has openly said that the Russians persecuted his family because they, too, were Jewish like Nuland and from Kiev. He is in charge, and these people have usurped American foreign policy to use that for personal vendettas against Russians. There is NOBODY in Washington willing to stand up and defend our country, for they fear the Neocon’s wrath.
Zelenskyy had run of peace and then did exactly the opposite. Many Ukrainians now see him as a traitor to their country. They cannot seek peace for that decision come only from Washington and Blinken since Biden is not mentally competent to even stand trial. Russia was hopeful that he was serious and end the civil war that Kiev began on instructions from Victoria Nuland.
To ensure Putin would come to the aid of the Russian in the Donbas after Nuland instructed Liev to attack them. He told the press the day before that Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons violating every treaty on the books to make sure Putin invaded.
Zelenskyy told the Washington Post, who learned that he had all the info and knew when Russia would invade thanks to American intelligence. They asked why he did not warn the civilians. He said it would have cost him $7 billion in capital flight. He has proven time and again he is just lining his pockets at the expense of his people. When there was a peace deal, Boris Johnson ran to Ukraine to make sure Zelenskyy killed the deal. He was instructed that there would be no peace with Russia.
Before Zelenskyy gets his golden parachute and is whisked off to Miami as a reward for following Neocon orders, over 1 million Ukrainians will be dead. On the May 7th ECM turning point, two Ukrainian military officers tried to assassinate Zelenskyy. He claimed it was a Russian plot. No way. There are many Ukrainians who have said if he was on fire, they would not urinate on him until he was dead. He is a disgusting traitor to Ukraine, and history will remember his vile actions for posterity.
Zelenskyy has even called for nuclear war. These people hate Russians, and they want to unleash genocide and kill every last one of them. The Ukrainians were never prosecuted for all the killings they did of Polish, Jews, and Russians in ethnic cleansing with the Nazis because the CIA exonerated and protected them because they hated Russians.
I cannot stress the importance of the Minsk Agreement enough, in which Russia was ensured by numerous world leaders that the people living in annexed areas that were traditionally Russian would have the opportunity to vote on whether or not they wished to be part of Russia. Russia patiently waited for the elections and did not act. Then, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted that the Minsk Agreement was purely a sham to buy time to build up Ukraine’s military.
Trust has been annihilated. All we hear is of Russia’s “unprovoked full-scale invasion,” but the truth of the matter is that the West forced Russia’s hand. They never intended to honor their promises to Russia, and Russia felt compelled to act on behalf of the ethnically Russian people living in those regions. A simple election could have prevented tens of thousands of deaths. The neocons had other plans.
Ukraine called Putin’s potentially final attempt at peace negotiations “manipulative” and “absurd.” Zelensky is too deeply indebted to the West to back out now, and he was initially installed as the puppet president to carry out the plans of the neocons who are hell-bent on conquering Russia. I have explained countless times that Ukraine simply cannot win this war. We are rapidly moving toward World War III, and the decisions made at these upcoming summits will have drastic effects on the future of civilization itself.

Both Russia and Ukraine have seen tens of thousands of soldiers die amid this seemingly endless war. Russia has begun seeking new recruits by turning to female inmates and foreigners. The New York Times reported that 30,000 were voluntarily serving Russia’s armed forces at the beginning of the war. Now, Russia is promising a form of freedom to female inmates who agree to join the war effort.
Russia sent military recruiters to female prisons last year. The nation already implemented a program to pardon male inmates in exchange for serving in the war, but this is the first time Russia has called upon women to do the same. Tens of thousands of men have agreed to join the war in exchange for a pardon. Russia is now offering women a pardon in exchange for only on year of military service and a monthly salary of $2,000, which is over 10 times the nation’s minimum wage.
Now, the New York Times reported that conditions in Russia’s prisons are extremely brutal. Prisoners are expected to remain silent for up to 12 hours per day and are forced to perform physical labor even in the winter climate. Still, the majority of female inmates have opted to remain behind bars rather than fight in the war.
Ukraine needs even more recruits than Russia and plans to mobilize up to 20,000 inmates, but under 5,000 have signed up thus far. Russia has a population of 144 million whereas Ukraine is composed of only 38 million. “There is competition between military commanders to hire (prisoners) since there is a lack of manpower, so they really want to have access to these people,” Justice Minister Denys Maliuska told Reuters. Ukraine has plans for prisoner-only brigades, which one may find concerning. Unlike Russia, Ukraine will not allow prisoners who have committed certain offenses to serve just yet. “They (will be) in the media spotlight, and if there is a single deserter or a single crime, that would be the type of thing in the media that would be bad PR for us,” Maliuska said.
They do this during drafts throughout the world. They offered US prisoners the option to serve in Vietnam, for example, but only men were enticed with that offer. Women are likely to be targeted for military service during the next draft.
Ukrainian women are already forced to sign up for conscription, whereas Russia has not yet called upon its women to serve. Zelensky has simply refused to entertain any peace talks or do the unthinkable and actually honor the Minsk Agreement. The West has just provided Ukraine with another aid package, and it looks as if they will soon provide them a loan with frozen Russian assets. Both sides are desperate for manpower and will need to look beyond their own nations for willing fighters.
