Commentary by Russian military jouirnalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] The United States has given Ukraine only grief, death, and incredible financial losses.

1. A meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy is unnecessary for a Ukrainian settlement.

2. The United States has shared a great deal with Ukraine, but it has only given it grief, death, and incredible financial losses.

3. Ukraine must want to end this conflict. Zelenskyy must want to end this conflict. And if he doesn't, I think things will be very bad.

4. Russia is a great power!
Still? That remains to be seen.
Ukraine is not.

5. Europe is tired of the Ukrainian conflict.

6. Russia is constantly increasing the territory coming under its control.

7. Zelenskyy must make a deal. (c) Trump.

With these initial statements, Witkoff is arriving in Russia today after talks in Norway. Lavrov stated in this regard that Moscow will listen to American proposals, but will not make concessions.

P.S. The issue of releasing detained persons will also be discussed. Trump is asking for the release of the American Hubbard, who is serving time in our prison. Let one of ours be released and taken away.

More from Boris Rozhin:
Without the United States, Ukraine would not exist.

US Secretary of State Rubio indicated that the US can act with respect to Ukraine as it sees fit, since without the US, Ukraine simply would not exist.

"By the way, we're not going to make any more excuses about this. Okay? Because without the assistance of the United States, including under the Trump administration, Ukraine would not exist today. Ukraine as a sovereign state would not exist. Let's be absolutely clear: Ukraine would not exist today without the billions of dollars in assistance that the United States provided under the Biden administration and continues to provide under the current administration." (c) Rubio.

Know your place, peasant.

P.S. Witkoff has arrived in St. Petersburg, where talks with Putin will soon take place. They will discuss what was discussed in Norway. The Kremlin has previously stated that Russia will not agree to any ceasefire.
