• There is a ton of geopolitical influences happening in the background and foreground of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, President Trump voice and envoy Steve Witkoff, and Keith Kellogg meeting in Paris with delegations from France, U.K, Ukraine and EU stakeholders.  The intent is to get the EU/UK on board with a ceasefire plan.
  • French President Emmanuel Macron (seeking a distraction from his own internal political turmoil) has appointed himself as representative for EU interests in the peace negotiations.  No one in the EU wants to hear Macron keep whining, so they just roll with it.  Macron even bought new lifts for the occasion.
  • The UK comes into the picture in Paris because France and the UK have decided to lead the coerced EU “coalition of the willing” (not many are willing) to create the boots on the ground peacekeepers if there is going to be a ceasefire.  REMINDER: Macron and Starmer demand the U.S. backstop their proposed Ukraine peacekeeping with USA military power.

  • The end result is going to be what Trump (through Witkoff) and Putin have already outlined.   Russia will keep eastern Ukraine, NATO will pledge to stop influencing Ukraine and the EU will give Ukraine membership.
