Exclusive: Putin’s demands for peace include an end to NATO enlargement, sources say

  • Summary
  • Putin wants written pledge to halt NATO expansion eastwards, sources say
  • Russia also seeks lifting of sanctions and protection for Russian speakers in Ukraine
  • Ukraine has insisted on NATO membership aspirations despite Russian demands

MOSCOW, May 28 (Reuters) – President Vladimir Putin’s conditions for ending the war in Ukraine include a demand that Western leaders pledge in writing to stop enlarging NATO eastwards and lift a chunk of sanctions on Russia, according to three Russian sources with knowledge of the negotiations.

U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he wants to end the deadliest European conflict since World War Two and has shown increasing frustration with Putin in recent days, warning on Tuesday the Russian leader was “playing with fire” by refusing to engage in ceasefire talks with Kyiv as his forces made gains on the battlefield.

Not providing this NATO non-expansion commitment is so provocative, it’s an act of war. This whole war began due to NATO constantly encroaching on Russia. Europe has not gained anything from WW1 or WW2 but only deeply hurt itself. WW3 with Russia will be more of the same. It is so not in Europe’s interest to act as they have done and are continuing to do, one can only assume a secret behind-the-scenes force is pushing them into further conflict. Give Putin what he wants and what NATO promised Russia when the Soviet Union disintegrated. ABN

Vladimir Putin accuses ‘ethnic Jews’ of tearing apart the Russian Orthodox Church

Vladimir Putin accused Jews of attacking the Russian Orthodox Church and suggested that they lacked family and “roots,” the latest antisemitic statement from the Russian leader since his 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Putin made the allegation during his lengthy annual press conference ahead of the New Year, which lasted four hours on Thursday. In the middle of of the event, Putin addressed punitive actions against the Russian Orthodox Church elsewhere in Europe. The church is considered to be closely tied to Putin’s regime, and its leaders have been expelled from countries such as Bulgaria and Estonia.

Putin said the church was “being tortured” — and blamed Jews.

“They’re tearing the church apart but they’re not even atheists,” Putin said. “These are people without any beliefs, godless people, they’re ethnic Jews, but has anyone seen them in a synagogue? I don’t think so.”

After adding that the alleged opponents of the church were also neither Orthodox Christian nor Muslim, he added, “These are people without kin or memory, with no roots. They don’t cherish what we cherish and the majority of the Ukrainian people cherish as well.”

The Biggest Scandal in American History is the “AUTOPEN!” — Trump

Other than the Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, the Biggest Scandal in American History is the “AUTOPEN!” Whoever used it was usurping the power of the Presidency, and it should be very easy to find out who that person (or persons) is. They did things that a Joe Biden, of sound mind, would have never done, like, Open Borders, Transgender for everyone, men in women’s sports, and far more. Fear not, however, we will bring America BACK, BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!

US and UK remove all range restrictions on weapons in Ukraine after Trump brands Putin ‘absolutely crazy’

The UK, US and the rest of Ukraine’s western allies have agreed to remove all remaining range restrictions on the country’s use of weapons following Trump’s blistering criticism of Putin.

It comes after Russia launched its largest wave of drone strikes at Ukraine since its full-scale invasion began in 2022, leading President Trump to brand Putin “absolutely crazy.”

On Sunday, Friedrich Merz, Germany’s conservative leader, confirmed Ukraine has been granted permission to use “long-range fire”, as France’s President Macron called for “massive retaliation.”

Announcing the new measures, Merz said: “There are no longer any range limits on the weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine: not from the Britons, nor from the French, nor from us, and not from the Americans either.

“This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, for example, by attacking military positions in Russia … with very few exceptions, it didn’t do that until recently. It can now do that.”

Germany’s Merz announces start of WW3

Merz says there are no more range restrictions on the weapons supplied to Ukraine

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s new chancellor said Monday that his country and other major allies are no longer imposing any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine as it fights the Russian invasion.

Friedrich Merz has plunged into diplomatic efforts to try to secure a ceasefire and keep Western support for Ukraine intact since becoming Germany’s leader nearly three weeks ago.

On Monday, he said that “there are no longer any range restrictions for weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine — neither by the British, nor by the French, nor by us, and not by the Americans either.”

“That means Ukraine can also defend itself by, for example, attacking military positions in Russia,” Merz said at a forum organized by WDR public television. “Until a while ago, it couldn’t. … It can now.”

“We call this ‘long-range fire’ in jargon, also supplying Ukraine with weapons that attack military targets in the hinterland,” he added.

This is what they have wanted all along. Who is behind this is surely the same as who was behind WW1 and WW2. I doubt there is any way to turn this around. ABN

Since questioning the Holocaust is illegal in much of the West, all Western peoples are more or less morally obligated to question the Holocaust

If the “Holocaust” was really a propaganda campaign instead of a historical reality, it would need to be illegal to question in western countries.

Jewish groups would need to terrorize people that questioned it, like Ernst Zundel.

Since questioning the Holocaust is illegal in much of the West, all Western peoples are more or less morally obligated to question the Holocaust. This is how we the plebs can and must fight back against totalitarian mind-control perpetrated against us by the powers that be, however you conceive of them. It’s as simple as that. We do not all need to agree on exactly what happened but we can all roughly agree that whenever rational speech is made illegal something is deeply wrong. Our power lies in knowing that and acting on that in whichever ways are appropriate for us and not too scary (for whoever you are, for whatever reason). I mention fear because mind-control myths are typically backed by terror, fear of ostracism, fear of ridicule. Recall the stern threats against ‘antivaxxers’ who dared to question the conspicuously unproved ‘safe and effective’ covid vaxxes. By most of us simply refusing to take that vax or to continue taking that vax, its popularity has fallen to record lows and that myth has been busted. The basic strategy of all of us roughly agreeing on important topics is the only way we can prevent WW3 and increased totalitarianism throughout the West. In this vein, I encourage all readers of ABN to click on the link above and at least skim the material presented. ABN

Russell Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, to take over DOGE once Musk steps down

President Donald Trump’s senior budget officer is expected to take over operations at the Department of Government Efficiency once Elon Musk steps down.

Russell Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, will soon take on much of DOGE’s workload, including working with Congress to recoup funds, reclassifying federal employees, and advancing his proposed 2025 budget, which would significantly reduce government funding, according to the Wall Street Journal.

He has already acted as Musk’s lower-profile partner and praised his department’s efforts to reduce federal regulations, noting that President Trump has pledged to eliminate ten regulations for every one imposed.

Germany’s New Leftist Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, Gives Ukraine Permission to Launch Long-range Taurus Cruise Missiles Deep into Russia

The escalation continues and unfortunately there are few indications the people around President Donald Trump are advising caution.

The U.K, German, French, EU, NATO and ‘western’ intelligence control agents are pushing for expanded conflict with Russia.  The latest development comes as the new leftist German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gives the greenlight for Ukraine to launch long-range Taurus cruise missiles directly into Russia.

(Bloomberg) — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Ukraine has been given permission to use weapons supplied by its allies to launch strikes deep inside Russia.

“There are absolutely no range limits anymore for weapons delivered to Ukraine, not from Britain, the French or from us — also not from the Americans,” Merz said at a conference in Berlin on Monday. “That means Ukraine can defend itself by attacking military positions also in Russia.”

[…] Ukraine’s Western allies are trying to intensify pressure on the Kremlin after Moscow launched its biggest drone barrage against Ukraine since the full-scale invasion over three years ago. European leaders have condemned what they call Russia’s foot-dragging as efforts to lock in a ceasefire have gone nowhere.

[…] Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that, if confirmed, a decision to allow long-range strikes could undermine efforts toward reaching a political settlement, according to Interfax. He called such a decision “dangerous.” (read more)

The proxy war between the U.S/NATO and Russia is now entering its fourth year.

In some ways these efforts by the ‘coalition of the nervously willing’ only solidify the previous position of Russian President Vladimir Putin that any western move toward a diplomatic handshake was generally duplicitous and not to be trusted.  Hence, Putin has instructed the armed forces of the Russian Federation to continue building out an expanded ‘buffer zone’ between Russian held territory and NATO within Ukraine.

Factually, as previously admitted and outlined by reporting from the New York Times, it is U.S. military and intelligence assets in the region who are leading the attacks from bases in Germany and the front lines within Ukraine.

The New York Times published two articles {HERE and HERE} revealing: 1) that U.S. military boots are on the ground in Ukraine. (2) The U.S. military is actively involved in the ongoing targeting of strikes into Russia. (3) The CIA is operating in Ukraine and conducting targeted strikes into the Russian Federation mainland.

The sourcing for the New York Times outline of American leadership against Russian Federation troops was transparently generated by U.S. military and intelligence leaks intended to stop any negotiations between President Trump and President Putin.  Since the release of those articles two months ago, they have succeeded in exactly that.

President Trump may not want to engage in the conflict with Russia, but the NATO alliance is not willing to allow him any independent retreat.  The recent Romanian election outcome solidified their stranglehold on the geopolitical interests at stake.

Romania is currently building the largest NATO base in Europe, and Vladimir Putin can see the intention therein with very clear eyes.  Unfortunately, American students are no longer taught geography or history in school, because one simple look at a map tells us the motives and intents.

The UFO — Buga Sphere — may be an alien artist’s way of communicating with us, or just the work of humans

A UFO researcher has an ominous message for humanity as governments around the world begin releasing more information about alleged contact with extraterrestrials.

Dr Julia Mossbridge is a cognitive neuroscientist and a researcher of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) – the new term for UFOs and alien sightings.

After scientists in Colombia recovered a mysterious, sphere-shaped object that many now believe is a piece of UFO technology, Mossbridge said the world is moving into an era which may soon have to deal with the knowledge that aliens exist.

‘We are entering a time when we are starting to recognize as humans we don’t have the control that we thought we had over everything,’ Dr Mossbridge told Fox News.

‘The sphere itself seems kind of like an art project,’ the UFO researcher said, adding that she believes it was created by humans, not aliens.

Mossbridge noted that no direct connection has been made between a video of what’s being called the Buga sphere and the actual metal object found in Colombia.

‘If an artist is doing this, why is that? Well, I think it’s partly the same reason. It’s because we’re learning that we don’t understand what’s in our skies or our waters. And there’s something going on that’s essentially bigger than us,’ Mossbridge explained.

The object was recovered shortly after it landed and has since been analyzed by scientists, who discovered it features three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling ‘a chip’
