A Step Toward Peace?

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has been excluded from a suggested peace conference between Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

On Sunday, CNBC reported:

  • The Wall Street Journal reported Vladimir Putin had reportedly suggested a summit between himself, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping for a deal to end the Ukraine war.
  • The summit is not confirmed, but if it takes place will not involve Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
  • The report comes amid mounting tensions between Ukraine and the U.S., its largest military backer.

At some point we need to acknowledge that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not want the war to end and that the American left does not want the war to end. According to AI, as of March 31, 2026, the U.S. Congress has made available $195 billion in total spending related to the war in Ukraine, according to the Council on Foreign Relations and the U.S. Special Inspector General for Operation Atlantic Resolve. [1, 2] There has never been an auditing of that spending. It is extremely possible that a good portion of that money has found its way into American political campaign coffers and another portion has gone into Zelenskyy’s pockets. The recent bombing of the Russian refineries was an indication that Zelenskyy was trying to influence the midterm elections in America to weaken President Trump. Zelenskyy is terrified that the money spigot is going to be turned off.

The article at CNBC concludes:

The Telegraph reported on Friday that Musk “approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine,” and both had a hand in imposing the restrictions.

Additionally, Zelenskyy told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday that intelligence sharing between the two countries had been interrupted, but later “de-blocked.”

Rubio on Monday denied that Washington had suspended intelligence sharing with Ukraine, contradicting Zelenskyy’s claim that the flow of information had been briefly interrupted, Reuters reported.

Speaking to reporters in Uzbekistan, Rubio insisted there had been no pause and said Zelenskyy should instead focus on ending the war, marking another public disagreement between Washington and Kyiv amid deteriorating relations.

On Sunday, The Conservative Treehouse noted:

Again, there are multiple dynamics unfolding inside this story. However, as to the central component of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy complaining about hampered access to Starlink and/or Starshield, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sets the record straight.

Ukraine has never had access to the U.S. military version of Starshield; providing that level of guidance access would be akin to the United States being in direct conflict with Russia using a proprietary U.S. military system. This is not our circus and not our war; there is no need for U.S. military conflict with Russia.

Remember the history. Zelenskyy was installed by the deep state. His words cannot be trusted.
