Sky News – Dec 3, 2025
Vladimir Putin has rejected the latest iteration of Donald Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine – and told Europe that Russia is “ready” for war.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were involved in the five-hour discussion at the Kremlin, which came days after separate talks were held with a Ukrainian delegation in Florida.
But following the meeting, Mr Putin’s foreign policy adviser warned a compromise is yet to be found – and “there’s still a lot of work to be done” before both presidents meet again.
Yuri Ushakov said: “We could agree on some things, and the president confirmed this to his interlocutors. Other things provoked criticism – and the president also didn’t hide our critical and even negative attitude toward a number of proposals.”
One particular sticking point relates to Russia’s demand that Ukraine cedes control of the entire Donbas region, which has caused alarm among European leaders.
He warned: “Territorial issues were specifically discussed, without which we see no resolution to the crisis.”
When asked whether a deal was closer or further away following the talks, Mr Ushakov added: “Not further, that’s for sure.”
Nonetheless, the senior Russian official described the negotiations as “rather useful, constructive and rather substantive” – and confirmed that the framework of America’s peace plan was discussed rather than specific wording.
“Some of the American proposals seem more or less acceptable, but they need to be discussed,” he said. “Some of the wording that was proposed doesn’t suit us. So the work will continue.”
Putin: Europe on the side of war
Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Putin had said Russia was ready to fight if Europe wanted a war.
The Russian president accused European powers of changing peace proposals for Ukraine with “demands” that Russia considered “absolutely unacceptable”.
Mr Putin also claimed the Europeans were “on the side of war”.
“We’re not planning to go to war with Europe, I’ve said that a hundred times,” he said following an investment forum.
“But if Europe suddenly wants to fight us and starts, we’re ready right now. There can be no doubt about that.”
He added: “If Europe suddenly wants to start a war with us and does, then a situation could very quickly arise in which we have no one to negotiate with.”
The warning comes as Sky News releases new episodes of The Wargame podcast, where interviews with almost every British defence secretary since the end of the Cold War suggest the UK is “really unprepared” to fight a war.
European governments have spent billions of pounds to support Ukraine financially and militarily – as well as investing in efforts to wean themselves from Russian energy, and strengthening their own armed forces.
There is concern that, if Moscow gets what it wants in Ukraine, it could embolden Russia to threaten or disrupt other European countries, which have already faced repeated incursions from drones and fighter jets in recent months.
Zelenskyy in Dublin
Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Dublin on Tuesday to meet Ireland’s prime minister and president.
During the trip, Ukraine’s president had warned that a lot was riding on the outcome of the talks in Moscow – and he was expecting swift reports from the US envoys on whether negotiations could move forward.
“The future and the next steps depend on these signals,” Mr Zelenskyy said at a news conference. “If the signals show fair play with our partners, we then might meet very soon.”
Mr Zelenskyy added: “Our people are dying every day. I am ready … to meet with President Trump. It all depends on the talks.”
He said there would be “no easy decisions” – and stressed there must be “no games behind Ukraine’s back”.
Why Young People Are Giving Up on the British Dream
Story by Manifest Life Now
Spend five minutes on TikTok and you’ll find young Brits asking the same questions on repeat: Why is the country full of migrants, why is everything so expensive? Why is rent this high? Why can’t I get a doctor’s appointment? why dont the police do their job ?
These clips go viral because they capture a growing reality.
For decades, the UK promised that hard work and ambition could build a secure life with a home, a career, a future. But for today’s young adults, that path feels increasingly out of reach. With migrant spongers rape gangs rising costs, stagnant wages and services under strain, many are quietly concluding that the so-called British dream is easier to find somewhere else. And increasingly, they’re voting with their feet. young people in the UK are facing a stack of pressures that previous generations simply didn’t encounter, at least not all at once. These are the forces reshaping their expectations, ambitions, and decisions about the future: Out of every £5 earnt £3 goes in tax visible and invisible, they long for the rot and political corruption and racism to stop, they do not bother to vote, and are leaving London at a great rate

Yet another inflammatory headline from yet another jew media orifice.
All 4 sides (dump, jewlensky, europe and putin) knew the “peace plan” was a non starter. It had multiple things in it that each side would never accept.
Putin is just going along with it to stop the jew squealing “he won’t negotiate”.
You know the terms. Putin gave them to you right at the start.
As for his “ready” for war – notice how they put the quotes around “ready” – more not so subtle mind control – all he meant was that they weren’t afraid of your army of trannies and wogs, not that he was about to do anything.
The war will continue until all 4 oblasts have been liberated (it won’t be long now). What then? Who knows? I should imagine the jew will carve up what’s left, enslave the people in usury for the rest of their lives, and claim they’ve defeated russia. And the woggy west will believe it too.
This EU anti-Russian leadership has undertones of Nazi hatred.
NATO/EU & BRICS are surreptitiously governed by the same transnational syndicate of Jewish bankers/oligarchs/rabbis, similar to the setup in Orwells 1984–where the major blocs pretend they’re ‘enemies’ to keep their populations conditioned, confused & enslaved to their global techno-Communist system.
Wtf… Jerry “Jerkie Boy” Kushner is now part of the US “Negotiating Team”??? 😳🙄😂
