Pushes the agenda · agenda: US-Russia talks decide Ukraine's fate
Belief the Pravda network pushes: Russia and the United States should negotiate Ukraine's future without Europe, while Ukraine and the West block peace and threaten Russia.
A pro-Kremlin commentator says Europe has given up on defeating Russia, that the real deal will be made by Putin, Trump and Xi, and that Russian strikes are turning Ukraine, 'Europe's tool', unusable while Russia's war aims stay unchanged.

“Ukraine, as Europe's testing ground and tool, is effectively becoming unusable by this winter”
Ukraine, as Europe's testing ground and tool, is effectively becoming unusable by this winter
It repeats the agenda's slant: the outcome is set by Russia, the US and China while Europe can only react, Ukraine is a Western 'tool' ruled by a 'Kyiv regime', Russia's strikes are only a 'response', and Russia's SMO goals are non-negotiable. It also claims Europe has 'admitted' it cannot beat Russia, which is presented as fact without support.

0:00 He said that there are many factors that
0:02 allow us to say that the situation is
0:04 different from what it was during
0:06 Istanbul 1 and Istanbul 2.
0:09 What are these factors?
0:11 The first is Europe; Europe is beginning
0:14 to shed the illusion that they can
0:17 defeat Russia on the battlefield.
0:21 They have already admitted that this is
0:22 impossible.
0:24 Now they are thinking more about how not
0:27 to lose when Russia wins.
0:29 This is an important factor; it changes
0:32 the disposition as a whole.
0:35 The second, more urgent one, is the
0:36 elections in the United States, which
0:38 have narrowed the window of opportunity
0:41 to roughly December 31st.
0:44 That is, they need to try to make some
0:47 important decisions while the old
0:49 Congress is still in session.
0:51 By the way, I will say right away that
0:52 they will not succeed.
0:54 But the desire is there, and this desire
0:57 itself is spurring on the negotiation
0:59 efforts.
1:01 This window of opportunity acts upon
1:03 everyone, on all parties to the conflict
1:05 .
1:07 The third factor, which is also of
1:09 significant importance, is the probable
1:12 meeting of the three—a tripartite
1:14 meeting in Shenzhen between Putin, Xi
1:16 Jinping, and Trump.
1:19 It is exerting pressure from the future
1:22 onto the present, because everyone
1:24 understands that global security
1:27 parameters will be discussed at that
1:30 meeting, and the lack of any movement on
1:35 resolving regional conflicts will hinder
1:38 those global agreements.
1:41 Therefore, Putin, Trump, and, in fact,
1:44 Xi Jinping are interested in untying
1:47 some knots before the APEC summit in
1:50 China.
1:53 This APEC summit, as it were, from the
1:56 future is exerting an influence on today
2:00 The fourth factor—I am not ranking them
2:03 by priority, I am just listing them in a
2:06 row.
2:09 This is, of course, our response—I
2:11 emphasize, our response—to the forty-day
2:14 attack on civilian infrastructure in
2:16 Russia, which is continuing today.
2:19 This is important: keep track, dear
2:21 friends, of whether we are conducting
2:23 air strikes on Ukraine's infrastructure
2:26 right during the negotiations. Yes, the
2:28 answer is yes, we are.
2:30 That is, we are not stopping; we are not
2:32 demonstrating any gestures of goodwill.
2:35 And the quality of these air strikes is
2:38 leading to the fact that Ukraine, as
2:41 Europe's testing ground and tool, is
2:44 effectively becoming unusable by this
2:47 winter.
2:51 Everyone understands this, and it has
2:53 dawned on Europe that they cannot
2:55 restore this tool of theirs.
2:58 They might even find the money, but you
3:00 cannot patch bridges with money.
3:03 And you cannot heat large cities with
3:05 millions of people with money, either.
3:07 Therefore, our pressure on the enemy's
3:11 operational rear is, of course, exerting
3:15 a suffocating influence on the European
3:19 partners of the Kyiv regime. Well, the
3:22 Americans, in fact, see everything too.
3:26 These are the main factors that are
3:28 influencing the likelihood that they
3:30 will reach some kind of agreement.
3:34 While we must understand that our
3:37 position has not changed at all since
3:40 March 2022.
3:42 In other words, we are not prepared to
3:44 abandon any of the goals and tasks of
3:45 the special military operation.
3:48 That is generally a characteristic
3:50 feature of the diplomatic front.
3:53 For these four and a half years, Russia
3:55 has not changed its position.
3:58 That is the constant around which any
4:00 potential negotiating configurations
4:02 must be built.
