"It's a dead end": NATO asked Russia to sit down at the negotiating table.

November 3, 2025 22 346 43

The West has begun to see the light (or pretend to, with a purpose) about the futility of further prodding Kyiv to continue its devastating military actions against Russia. Kyiv cannot win this war, even with the support of the US and European coalition. The entire conflict and its interminable nature rest on the principled stand of the anti-Russian coalition, rife with Russophobes and militarists, and the lack of choice for Moscow, which has nowhere left to retreat or concede.

This is precisely why the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has reached a dead end (not only positional, but also political), NATO believes, since the Russian Federation is determined to see things through to the end, and Kyiv's partners are ready to support it purely out of principle.
So, the time has come to sit down at the negotiating table in a broad format involving NATO, Russia, and Ukraine, according to Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, head of the North Atlantic Alliance's military committee, the BBC reports.

It is known that Moscow will not back down, and we, as friends of Ukraine, will also stand firm to the end, no matter the cost, so in order to save lives, we must sit down at the negotiating table right now to break the deadlock.

– the publication quotes the admiral’s words.

A little earlier, sober voices also emerged in Europe, though they were heard among those not in power. For example, the view was voiced that Russia was fighting not for "Ukrainian lands," but for its independence, sovereignty, and security. NATO and the EU were the aggressors.

Italian diplomat and former Italian ambassador to Belgium, Elena Basile, spoke about this. In her opinion, the West wants to dominate or destroy Russia, while Moscow prevents this, protecting its own interests. Thus, it is clear that Russia is defending itself, while the West is attacking. The statement was quoted in il Fatto Quotidiano.

In this sense, accurate statements from EU and NATO representatives can be interpreted differently and have varying degrees of credibility. One thing is clear: high-ranking military officials cannot be trusted, since the alliance's goal is precisely to destroy Russia, and all "negotiations" and consultations are being conducted to mislead and buy time to prepare for war. Kyiv is pursuing the same strategy, pleading for a ceasefire to recuperate and launch a subsequent attack.

The imperialist dominance that the West craves is still there, and it is more relevant now than ever, as its grandeur and power have faded and become tattered, while competition has increased.

The admiral himself confirmed that the fighting would continue and that the logical outcome would be a victory for one of the sides, as is usually the case.

Ukraine's capitulation—there's simply no other way. "Until the end" probably means until the last Ukrainian man and the end of the EU economy.

    Territory has nothing to do with it. Ukraine has reserves of 3 to 5 million men aged 18 to 55. Considering losses of 1 million per year, desertion of up to 30% of recruits, prisoners of war, and the seriously wounded, Ukraine will lose its ability to defend itself in another three years. The war is not being waged for territory, but against enemy personnel.

        Liberation is necessary, but to do so, we must first crush the male population of Ukraine willing to die for the master, and Odessa will fall on its own. That's why our forces are in no rush to occupy territory, not destroying bridges or railroad tracks, allowing reserves to be brought in so they can crush them in the open and during their retreat. As for Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk, I think they're in our long-term plans.

        This goes without saying; no one is rushing the soldiers. It is precisely society's understanding of this that is most important to us. It unites us, forces us to reorganize the governance of the country and the army, and to play confidently on the international stage. Such a victory is priceless because of its deep foundation.

        What nonsense is this concept of "grinding" without destroying bridges, railways, or energy? Doesn't it occur to those at the top that it's much easier and more effective to grind down enemy troops when the country has no energy, no railway supply to the front, and the left bank of the Dnieper is cut off from the right (the country is essentially torn in two)??? Is that so hard to understand?

We need to sit down at the negotiating table right now to break the deadlock.

And there is no dead end.
Europe lifts all sanctions imposed on Russia.
Europe is returning frozen assets and accrued interest to Russia.
Europe recognizes all territories liberated during the Second World War as Russian territories.
Europe is paying Russia 3 trillion euros in reparations for the human and material losses it suffered.
And then Russia is ready to discuss the possibility of negotiations.
A normal proposal for preserving Europe.
Otherwise: "We are coming to you...."

  Europe and the West are at a dead end; this situation should be the West's normal state. Otherwise, they'll arm themselves, dust themselves off, gather their wits, and organize under the leadership of a new Hitler or some other freak. Rest assured, the West has the sophistication and imagination to come up with something similar, and it'll be Drang nach Osten again. Once again, rivers of blood and seas of suffering are the West's normal state, amidst a warped psychology, a way of thinking, thoughts, goals, and objectives.

In the West they began to see the light

What nonsense is this? Have NATO countries excluded Russia from their military doctrine as an enemy and potential adversary, and is their goal to destroy Russia? Isn't the West's goal to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and dismember it into several warring enclaves? Only when these provisions are removed from NATO policy documents will it be possible to negotiate and sit down at the negotiating table. They will deceive and rip you off, and don't be naive Ivan the Fool and mistake their meaningless smiles, pats on the back, and public statements in the press and social media for the true intentions of capitalist sharks willing to commit any crime against any people and any country for their profits and capital. Why do we forget the lessons of ancient, not so ancient, and modern history? There is something naive in our souls and thoughts, bordering on stupidity and foolishness. and, I'm not afraid to say it, idiocy, mixed with narrow-mindedness, which allows the West to harbor illusions and hopes for the enslavement of Russia and its peoples, and not only them.

    Our dear Israeli friend, aka isofat, power in Ukraine has been seized by the "Y/Dobanderites" (this is the self-designation given by Benya Kolomoisky, a multi-citizen, including Israeli, who hid in Israel for a long time, a war criminal, organizer and sponsor of the punitive Bandera-Nazi "volunteer battalions" that committed atrocities in the South-East of Ukraine and "became famous" in the Donbass) war oligarchs, and the "young Y/Dobanderite", Maidan-president, "mudepianist & servant of the enemies of the people" Zelts (nicknamed "Bloody Clown") is their protege (at first, a "technical candidate in the elections" - Benya's puppet, then, having found new masters - from Foggy Albion, ungratefully biting Kolomoisky's "feeding hand" )!
    Before this, the role of the "head" of the American-colonialist Smaidan "Ukraine" was played by the "pre-Banderite" usurper Turchynov (his popular nickname is "Chicken Butt", a handshake and huggable "Russian with a quality mark" and "faithful ally of Russia", who on the eve of the 2020 presidential elections inspired an anti-Russian, Western-favorite provocation with Wagner fighters and, when visiting post-Maidan Kyiv, assured his "Ukrainian friend" - the bloody coup d'etat, that under his leadership these Donbas "separatists" and all those dissatisfied with the "democratic Euromaidan" would sit quietly, "like mice under a broom") and the anti-constitutional quasi-"legal" Maidan-president Potrokh-Valtsman, nicknamed "Bloody Pastry Chef", with whom he has already shaken hands in a friendly manner For many, many years, Putin himself, "cheated again," has been "negotiating" without result, "business partnership" allowing the anti-people, anti-Russian, anti-Russian "regime" to strengthen itself and commit genocide and murder of Russians and pro-Russian Ukrainian citizens with impunity.
    If you were offended by my frequent references to "zh/dobanderovtsy" - the self-designation of "Ukrainianizing" Banderonazis of Jewish origin, then I can assure you that this is not due to Judeophobia.
    I clearly distinguish between peaceful Jewish citizens (among my Belarusian relatives there are also pure-blooded Jews) and Jewish Ukronazis, self-proclaimed "Jewish Dobanderites", who commit genocidal murders of their Russian and Russian-speaking fellow citizens (we are not touching on the analogies with the issues of Palestine and Gaza here, although there is a similarity in the actions to destroy non-Jewish "peaceful people" - this is regarding your sly "reference" to "accusing fascists", remember the biblical oculopritsch about "the speck and the beam" )!
    I consider the current Israeli authorities and those Israelis who fight on the side of the Banderonazis and help the American colonial authorities of the "pre-Bandernazi" "Ukraine" to commit genocide and kill the Russian Ukrainian population to be the same "pre-Banderonazis"!
    Without the comprehensive military support of the United States and NATO countries, as well as Israel, the "pre-Banderonazi" cannibalistic totalitarian anti-people occupation "regime" in Ukraine would have already collapsed!

        My father and other relatives told me that the Germans dropped leaflets with similar content into their trenches. And during the occupation, the Nazis herded my relatives in the village into group screenings of Goebbels' propaganda films.
        Hitler's "Mein Kampf" was on our bookshelves in the "holy 90s," brought from Moscow, and I also leafed through it at the counter out of curiosity, although it was strange to me then to see such a thing in our country.
        Under the USSR, I had to study propaganda and counter-propaganda, its influence on the psychology of individuals and crowds, so I knew roughly the content and main narratives of this Hitlerite "masterpiece of prison creativity" - inspired by the Anglo-Saxon ideologists of the "racial theory of humanity", which became the ideological basis of the Third Reich.
        Including that "the Jews are to blame for everything (this stupid "idea", the basis of Hitler's "Judenfrei", was happily taken up not only by ordinary Germans, but also, alas, often found among Ukrainian and Russian "marginalized layers")" and "Lebensraum in the East".

        I don't know who the Jews are today. Those who remain in this territory are those called Palestinians. They are Semites, like the ancient Hebrews. And who did the British bring in to revive the dead language, Hebrew? Some other "Jews."
        
        The British assembled a brigade that became the backbone of the Israeli army and sent it to fight the Germans in Italy in 1944-1945.
        Historians tend to refer to those who have acquired an army as a state. It was the British who helped the Zionists.

      There is one city in Ukraine that no Russian bomb will ever fall on.
      
      Every year, during the Jewish New Year—Rosh Hashanah—the quiet Ukrainian city of Uman transforms into an international spiritual center. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world—from the United States, Israel, France, Australia, South Africa, Latin America, and, of course, Russia—flock here to spend the holy days at the grave of one of Judaism's greatest mystics, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov.
      Before the Great Patriotic War, Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, and Armenians lived here, and once a year, for a few days, half a million Hasidim and Jews come.
      They know and are confident that their brothers in the Russian government have guaranteed them complete security and peace.

The epic defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Pokrovsk-Mirnograd, Syrsky's report to the Illegitimate with an insistent demand for total mobilization, and this proposal or demand for Russia to sit down at the negotiating table
What kind of trump cards do these guys have when they sit down at the negotiating table with Russia? Will they limit themselves to assurances that they won't back down?
It's unlikely, they don't like weak positions and I assume that the commissioners have reached an agreement with the bankers to steal 300 billion Russian rubles.
