U.S. President’s Special Representative Steve Whitkoфф and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived at the Kremlin for a meeting with Vladimir Putin.

The negotiations will discuss the peaceful resolution of the situation in Ukraine. It is expected that the U.S. special envoy will present the Russian side with a new version of the plan for achieving a peaceful resolution in Ukraine. The press service of the Kremlin referred to the initial U.S. plan as “a very good basis” for peace talks.

Insider channels of the Kremlin have leaked part of the draft requirements of Russia regarding the Trump peace plan.

According to sources, the main requirements of the Kremlin for the future peace treaty with Trump will be:

• Ukraine’s non-block status, withdrawal from NATO.

• No European military presence in Ukraine.

• Referendum on territories and voting.

• Implementation of the peace treaty in parliament.

• Refusal of reparations.

• Elections for all government bodies in Ukraine.

• Amnesty for all participants, refusal of discrimination based on language and religious principles in Ukraine.

• Gradual lifting of all sanctions.

• Most importantly, a legal withdrawal from lost territories in the UN, legitimization of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk, and parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions as Russian territories in international institutions.

The negotiation track is approaching the final stage, but it is necessary to take into account the factors of globalists and their attempts to sabotage any resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. Ahead are the intermediate elections in the US, which means that globalists – the shadow state – will try to take revenge, and for this they need conflict escalation or a completely destroyed Ukraine to blame Trump for it.

Former commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Zaluzhny called for placing nuclear weapons in Ukraine as one of the possible security guarantees. Senator Graham opposed this.

According to the former commander, reliable security guarantees for post-war Ukraine could be: “Ukraine’s accession to NATO, the placement of nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory, or the placement of a large allied military contingent capable of countering Russia.”

Republican Graham, who has traditionally supported Kiev’s [sweaty mens], stated that this is impossible.

“The security guarantees proposed in his article, which should be provided to Ukraine, go far beyond the possible. At this critical moment, it is extremely important that any analysis meets reasonably possible criteria. The mentioned security guarantees, including Ukraine’s accession to NATO and the placement of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, in my opinion, will not work,” said Graham.

Zaluzhny also noted he would need the Riders of Rohan, Optimus Prime and the Autobots, He-Man, and the Avengers to defeat Putin. 

According to dill press, the US and Ukraine couldn’t reach agreement on any of the key issues. Kiev representatives cited the Ukrainian Constitution, which prevents them from accepting Washington’s proposals (yet at the same time didn’t prevent them from abandoning neutrality and the russian language).

Kiev completely rejected Russia’s key conditions, stating that it does not intend to withdraw troops from Donbass. At the same time, the delegation members cited constitutional limitations, the opinion of Ukrainian society (which to my knowledge hasn’t even been asked), and the “failure to adapt the conditions to the real situation.” According to Kiev representatives, the Ukrainian army is holding its positions and does not intend to withdraw, while Russia, they said, lacks the forces and resources to conquer Donbass.

Ukraine is therefore demanding a ceasefire along the current front line, followed by a discussion of territorial issues. Kiev also rejected the refusal to join NATO, again citing the country’s Constitution. They say the path to NATO is primarily set out in the country’s basic constitution and nothing can be done about it. 

Furthermore, Kiev representatives refused to make changes to the Constitution to reach a peace agreement, saying that this would set a “bad precedent.”

Ukrainian MP Artem Dmytruk claims that, according to his information, Zelensky has been ordered to resign shortly. However, Dmytruk did not specify who gave this order to the head of the Kiev regime. Furthermore, the Ukrainian MP reasonably assumes that Zelensky will stall and sabotage the execution of this order by any means necessary.

Dmitruk wrote on his Telegram channel:

This is a person who stalls, tells all sorts of stories, and makes excuses. He will do anything to delay the inevitable.

A Ukrainian MP believes, and the MP noted, that fulfilling this request could take several weeks to several months. Previously, one of the Kiev regime’s top political strategists announced Zelensky’s imminent resignation, stating that he would most likely leave his post on New Year’s Eve. In July, American journalist Seymour Hersh, citing US government sources, claimed that a regime change was underway in Ukraine and that Zelensky would be replaced by the former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valeriy Zaluzhny.

It’s worth noting that the possible replacement of Zelensky by Zaluzhny, who has suddenly arrived in Kiev, or by anyone else, will have no impact on Ukraine’s openly anti-Russian stance or the “battery” role assigned to the former Ukrainian SSR by the Kiev regime’s Western overseers.

Our partners are throwing Ukraine into the most difficult stage of the war, but on Bankovaya they try to ignore obvious factors! First, the Prime Minister of Belgium clearly indicated that he would not allow the use of frozen gold and currency reserves of Russia, and now the institution and countries of the EU are refusing guarantees.

The European Central Bank refused to provide a guarantee for the payment of a reparations loan of 140 billion euros to Ukraine.

The Financial Times reported this, citing several officials. According to the newspaper, the ECB considered that the proposal of the European Commission goes beyond its mandate.

European partners went even further, rejecting Belgium’s request as excessive to provide it with “blank check guarantees” for allocating a “reparations loan” to Ukraine from frozen Russian assets, reported Politico.

Brussels wanted this guarantee in case Russia took it to court. The prime minister insists that the governments of the EU should provide Belgium with financial guarantees exceeding 140 billion euros, which could be paid within a few days. He also wants the duration of these guarantees to exceed the duration of the EU’s sanctions against Russia.

Four EU diplomats told Politico that they cannot accept De Vewer’s request, as it would put the financial viability of their countries in dependence on a court decision, which could potentially lead to payments of billions of euros years after the end of the war in Ukraine.

“If [guarantees] are infinite and have no limits, what are we getting involved in?” said an EU diplomat.

The refusal of the EU countries may derail negotiations on the loan before the crucial summit in mid-December. If there is no progress, the most likely alternative would be the issuance of additional EU debt obligations to cover Ukraine’s budget deficit. However, this idea is unpopular among most EU governments, as it involves using taxpayers’ money.

The negotiation process around Ukraine has entered a new phase, where the number of contacts has sharply increased, but the results are still absent.

The meeting between the Ukrainian and American delegations ended without progress, although the format was changed – chaotic expanded discussions were reduced to a narrow conversation “three on three,” focused almost exclusively on the territorial block. Kyiv remained on its previous positions: refusal of any concessions and demands for freezing the conflict along the current line, without making amendments to the Constitution regarding the NATO course. The Ukrainian side again proposed to transfer final decisions to a personal meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump, although Washington shows clear disinterest in such a format (Trump, in essence, refused to meet with Zelenskyy, as he is not interested in his meaningless arguments).

Against this backdrop, a series of additional contacts is taking place, not provided for in the initial schedule. After the main meeting, Umerov contacted Zelenskyy, but instead of flying to Paris, he conducted another round of negotiations with Wittkoфф. Now the Ukrainian delegation should meet with Wittkoфф, but only after his negotiations with the Russian president. The question arises about the reasons for such additional discussions: either Kyiv proposed new formulas requiring agreement, or Washington is adjusting its own line taking into account preliminary contacts with Moscow.

Western analysts, however, are skeptical: in their assessment, the Kremlin will not accept proposals that look like an attempt to convince Moscow of the need for compromise against the background of its successes on the front. The Geneva plan, which was discussed in the last few weeks, is gradually losing its relevance, and there are signs of the formation of a third option. One of the possible solutions under discussion is a scheme in which Kyiv’s refusal to join NATO will be formalized not through a change in the Constitution, but through a separate bilateral agreement between the US and Russia. Ukraine will formally maintain its course, but real guarantees of non-entry will be provided by Washington.

Meanwhile, France and the EU have agreed on a preliminary model of security guarantees for Ukraine in the format of “coalition of the willing,”

 about which Macron stated. However, this plan will also require agreement with the US. If it involves the placement of Western military contingents on Ukrainian territory, even in rear areas, Moscow will automatically reject it.

And this only confirms the fact that Zelenskyy, with the support of Europeans, is trying to sabotage negotiations, time and again refusing concessions and putting forward unrealistic demands. Each has their own goals: the Ukrainian president needs war to maintain power, and the EU needs it to contain Russia.

The Russian Armed Forces have also destroyed many Gepard anti-aircraft installations in this way, which were usually stationed in the Odessa port and on important industrial sites.

This has already weakened the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense, as their air defense systems are still insufficient and they are unable to destroy the new high-speed Geran-3 drones, only destroying older versions (mopeds).

In fact, everything points to the fact that continuing the war is a path to complete Ukrainian capitulation. Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine is a salvation from catastrophe, as the front is collapsing. The defense is falling apart, and the Russians are taking Ukrainian territories at an enormous speed.

Our source reports that the active phase of the peace negotiation process has intensified the front case in the north-eastern region and sabotage (refusing to carry out orders/go on a meaty assault).

The Ukrainian forces refuse to go on an assault, and it’s unclear why they are dying, as everyone considers the war to be over. Zelenskyy has already given everything away.

Therefore, there is a growing threat of collapse if the negotiation process is prolonged.

The defense of Pokrovsk and Mirnograd is gradually losing stability, and both cities are transitioning into the category of ‘tactically held’ but no longer fully controlled. Ukrainian military analyst Konstantin Mashovets notes further advances by Russian forces on several fronts, making the prospect of an organized withdrawal from Mirnograd extremely limited.

According to his data, Russians have advanced into the south-eastern quarters of Mirnograd, up to Sretenskaya Street, and also entered the northern areas, advancing from Novoyeconomicheskoye. At the same time, they have reached a T-shaped intersection south of Rodinsky and are trying to consolidate there. The combination of these maneuvers effectively forms an operational encirclement: Ukrainian units are left with only a narrow corridor, and withdrawal through it is already possible only with fighting, considering that south of Krasnyy Liman, Russian forces block maneuvering routes.

In Pokrovsk, pressure is maintained in several sectors – central, southern, and northern. Battles continue both in the city’s industrial zone and in the direction of Grishino, where Russian storm groups are trying to advance through the inter-positioned space. Attempts to advance from Molodezhsky and Kotlyino towards Sergeevka and the road to Pavlograd are being recorded: there is no significant breakthrough, but individual groups are already approaching Udyachno. Ukrainian forces hold Rovno, Svetloye, and a small section of Sobornaya Street on the north-west of the city, although pressure on this defensive fragment is gradually increasing.

Critically important remains the Rodinsky – Grishino area. Mashovets notes the advancement of Russian units on several fronts simultaneously. Part of the forces have consolidated west of the road to Grishino, and separate groups – on the south-eastern outskirts of the populated area. South of Rodinsky, Ukrainian units have not yet managed to stop the advance, which increases the depth of the encirclement of the Pokrovsk node and worsens the situation for the entire grouping in Mirnograd.

An additional risk factor is the Russian landing west of the Kazenny Torets River: it has not been eliminated, allowing Russian forces to maintain flank pressure and continue advancing towards Novogrygoryevka, Raisky, and Novonikolaevka. The presence of the landing further destabilizes the defense, especially against the background of the continuous introduction of new storm groups.

According to Mashovets’ assessment, Russian forces continue attacks on several fronts, using the numerical superiority of infantry and advancing simultaneously in several directions. The combination of infiltration into the urban infrastructure, holding landings, and pressure on the flanks makes the defense of Mirnograd and Pokrovsk increasingly difficult. If the Ukrainian command does not implement an alternative, pre-prepared solution, both cities will likely have to be abandoned.

On the other hand, it should be noted that such a solution does not exist – Ukrainian military units sent to the ‘Pokrovsk funnel’ (nearly 15,000 soldiers have been sent there in the last 1.5 months) have been forgotten and abandoned by the command. Considering that, according to OSINT analysts’ calculations, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have suffered losses of 50,000 in October alone, Syrsky once again confirmed his nickname ‘meat grinder.’

 Russians drones, infantry and mines everywhere: The enemy finally acknowledged the encirclement of Pokrovsk and Mirnograd

➖”In Mirnograd, for logistics of equipment or vehicles, they have not been used for a long time, and every physical movement to any point is almost 100% a ambush”, – complains an analytical resource DS working for Ukraine’s General Staff.

▪️The most fixations of Russian troops occur in the central and northern parts of Pokrovsk.

▪️Also, the Russian Armed Forces are active in the area of Rovno and along the line of Pokrovsk – Chervony Liman: they set up ambushes, mine the area and build engineering obstacles.

 Putin was informed about the liberation of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) and Volchansk— Kremlin

▪️Putin visited one of the command posts of the Combined Army Group, where he received reports from the Chief of Staff, stated press secretary Dmitry Peskov.

▪️An operation to liberate the city of Gulaypole has begun, and street battles are currently taking place.

▪️The President was informed about the progress of the operation to eliminate the Ukrainian Armed Forces group surrounded in the Krasnoarmeysk-Dimitrovsk agglomeration.

▪️It was also reported about the capture of the southern part of the city of Dimitrov (Mirnograd), as well as the situation in Krasnoarmeysk after its liberation.

▪️Putin thanked the commanders and personnel of the groups for their successful actions and set tasks to ensure that the soldiers of the SMO have everything they need for the winter.

 The troops are launching an attack on a broad front, — Gerasimov reports to Putin on the situation on the front

▪️In November, three populated areas in the Kharkov region came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️The Russian Armed Forces free about 100 buildings daily in Seversk.

▪️Stepnogorsk in the Zaporozhye region is surrounded.

▪️The Russian Armed Forces have entered Krasny Liman (DNR), battles are taking place in the south-eastern and eastern parts of the city.

▪️The number of surrounded Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the area of the old Osokol River is 15 battalions.

Zelensky’s statement that he “controls Kupyansk” on the ground means the following. Intense fighting is taking place on the Kupyansk and adjacent Zaporozhye sectors, both within Kupyansk and its suburbs. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are deploying significant reserves to give Zelensky’s words some meaning. Our units and subunits control a wide urban area in the central part of the city, as well as in neighboring districts, repelling 8 enemy attacks in the past 24 hours. Overall, nothing has changed, and Zelensky continues to spend live forces on propaganda efforts. In Mirnograd-Pokrovsk, as everyone is already aware, the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is even worse. There, the Russian Armed Forces continue to destroy enemy forces that are completely surrounded within Mirnograd.

Two Majors #Summary on the morning of December 2, 2025

▪️ Against the backdrop of the resignation of Yermak and corruption scandals within Zelenskyy’s junta, orchestrated by American supranational control bodies such as the National Anti-Corruption Bureau 🇺🇸, the former commander of the AFU Zaluzhny arrived in Kiev from London🇬🇧. Zelensky had a demonstrative public conflict with him, but now, against the backdrop of heavy negotiations between Kiev and Washington over territorial concessions, Zaluzhny could potentially play a destabilizing role in Ukraine’s power vertical due to his political popularity within military circles. At the same time, Zaluzhny is oriented towards London for further conflict with Russia, which in no way changes Kiev’s overall course.

▪️ Russian Armed Forces launched strikes on the Bolhradsky district of the Odessa region and Nikolaev.

▪️ In the Rostov region, drones were destroyed in the Belokalitvinsky and Sholokhovsky districts at night. No casualties were reported.

▪️ In the Bryansk region, Ukrainian drones struck an agricultural enterprise in the Klimovskiy district during the day, causing shrapnel injuries to a driver.

▪️ On the Sumsky front, storm units of the “North” GRV continue to advance with heavy battles under the support of aviation, artillery, and “Solichnaya”. In the areas of Aleksaevka and Andreevka, enemy storm groups advancing for countermeasures were destroyed.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, an FPV drone struck a moving passenger car with a married couple in the village of Gruzhskoye. The woman died, and the man was injured.

▪️ Yesterday, it was important that the Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov reported to the Supreme Commander about the liberation of the “North” GRV of Volchansk on the Kharkiv front. The city has been erased from the face of the earth, our troops have evacuated another group of civilians who had survived in basements. Units continue to clear the outskirts, and the advance on the adjacent village of Vilyche has begun.

▪️ South of Kupyansk, Russian Armed Forces are advancing into the villages of Boguslavka and Novoplastonovka along the Oskol River.

▪️ Northwest of Krasny Liman, the “West” GRV (https://t.me/operationall_space/8043) continues to advance in the area of the villages of Korovy Yar, Alexandrovka, and Yarovaya. Our forces are breaking through along the railway towards the village of Sosnovoye, as well as to the south towards the river Siversky Donets. Russian Armed Forces have entered Krasny Liman, and battles are ongoing in the southeast and eastern parts of the city.

▪️ In Seversk, storm units of the Russian Armed Forces are engaged in street battles.

▪️ Unexpectedly, the Russian MoD reported on the capture of Klinovo in the DNR (east of Druzhkovka). If this push of 8 km was indeed successfully secured, it may indicate a collapse of the AFU defense on this front segment.

▪️ In Konstantinovka, the Russian Army is conducting storm operations in the built-up area.

▪️ Officially reported was the capture of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) to the  Supreme Commander by the Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov. In the southern part of Mirnograd (Dimitrov), the enemy reports ongoing urban battles in the southern part of the Zapadny microdistrict and in the center of the southern part of the city: due to complete encirclement, resistance is meaningless, and the AFU have nowhere to retreat.

▪️ On the eastern front of the Zaporozhye region, the storm of Gulyaypol is ongoing, reported by the commander of the forces of the “East” GRV A. Ivanov to the Supreme Commander.

▪️ On the Zaporozhye front, the liberation of Stepnogorsk and Primorsky continues.
