MAGA wants to gaslight you into thinking Ukraine is obstructing a peace deal or a credible end to the war. This is nonsense. From the start of this administration, Ukraine acceded to a unconditional ceasefire along the line of contact, and that became the stated U.S. position. Russia refused. So the U.S. position (or the Witkoff position, anyway) morphed into Dmitriev's 28-point Russian "wish list," to use Marco Rubio's apt description of it. Fast forward to the present day: Trump announces an energy ceasefire, which he did not inform the Ukrainians about and which Peskov and Lavrov have both publicly rejected. And yet... Kyiv abides by the U.S. President's imagined truce, while Russia does not. But all the ire is reserved for Zelensky.
