So the big international news of the day is that the talks that were supposed to be held in London beginning today between Ukraine, the EU, and the United States have basically been downgraded. The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, was supposed to attend. So was Steve Witkoff.
They were all going to talk together about a proposal they were then going to go to the Russians with to finally bring a ceasefire to the Russia-Ukraine war that's been ongoing since February of 2022. At the last minute, Secretary of State Rubio canceled his trip. That prompted other leaders, secretaries of state from Britain, France, Germany to then pull out as well.
Those would be the foreign ministers of those particular states. All of this is coming amidst heavy pressure from the Trump administration to come to some sort of deal. President Trump had warned last week that Washington, D.C. could walk away from the talks completely if there was no progress on a deal that was also reiterated by Vice President Vance yesterday.
He said, quote, it's time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process. Well, for the Russians, that's actually fairly good news, because obviously, if the United States were to walk away from the process entirely. a crucial base of support for Ukrainian materiel would go away.
So Vladimir Putin does not have tons of incentive to come to the table at this point. The offer that President Trump's team is putting forth right now is an offer that is very rich for Vladimir Putin. It's an offer that does not put a lot of restrictions on the Russians. It frees them of legitimately all economic sanctions.
And in return, they basically stop the war where it currently stands, which means that they are able to de facto claim
entire eastern flank of ukraine they're able to in law like de jure recognize crimea as part of russia and not just that there'd be a ban on ukraine from seeking membership of nato which is very difficult for ukraine to accept because it's actually literally a part of their constitution they're supposed to seek membership in nato it's also part of their constitution that they're not supposed to just give away land even if that land is currently being occupied by the russians
