Sources Say Trump Could End NATO’s War in Ukraine By March
Feb. 28—When NATO’s sock-puppet dictator of the Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrives in Washington today, he will meet with a determined President Donald Trump who will force him to agree to end NATO’s bloody war in Ukraine on his terms. Sources report that there could be an agreement in principle between Russia and Ukraine by the beginning of March that would end the fighting and define terms of a peace deal.
These sources say that Trump will congratulate Zelenskyy for agreeing to a massive investment plan in which the U.S. will provide more than $50 billion to develop the mining of rare-earth metals and other minerals for the benefit of Ukraine and the United States, which will have access to those minerals. The profits from sales will be placed in an investment fund, administered jointly by the two countries, which will go toward rebuilding that war-ravaged nation. The two leaders will sign the first part of the agreement, while the creation of the fund must await legislative approval in both countries.
But, the agreement, whose final form was reportedly worked out by Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East and to all trouble spots, does not contain any specific U.S. security guarantees as Zelenskyy has demanded. Instead, that security guarantee will come as part of the larger agreement that will end the fighting, sources report, the which agreement could take shape as soon as the end of this month.
“Zelenskyy has met with various European leaders this month as they travelled to Kyiv on the three-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine,” said a source. “What he encountered were a bunch of impotent ravers who have no cards to play on his behalf against Trump. They told him that they would try to soften Trump’s approach to a peace settlement, but no one would say that they would succeed in doing that. In fact, [French President Emmanual] Macron told him that Trump does not really believe that Europe should tell him what to do about anything and that it was NATO that caused the war in the first place, by deliberately provoking Russia. Trump has figured out that NATO and the Biden Administration wanted this war, thinking that they could isolate and destroy Russia. Trump told Macron that NATO and Biden were crazy fools that endangered the whole world. He was not going to play by their rules.
“So, Zelenskyy has no protection from Europe,” the source continued. “The world changed Feb. 12, when Trump called [Russian President] Vladimir Putin. That marked the end of the control of the world by supranational geopolitical blocs, like NATO, and a return to great power diplomacy in which the three great nuclear powers, China, Russia, and the U.S., will agree to not fight each other, but instead work cooperatively to secure peace and prosperity for themselves and the rest of the world. That’s how Trump sees things on the issue of war and peace. The three powers will act as 'policemen' and seek to end wars and conflicts. There will still be competition on economic and other matters, but there will also be cooperation where possible. It is a bold concept for creating a new paradigm, which Trump sees as leading to a scale-down of military spending by the great powers and new nuclear arms and other treaties.”
This and other sources say that Trump intends to push Zelenskyy hard on agreeing to the key initial component of his Ukraine peace plan: a full stop ceasefire, that would come into effect no later than Easter (April 20) and perhaps before that, if the details can be worked out with Putin, who has already agreed to the idea in principle. Zelenskyy has resisted the idea, claiming that it will just give the Russians a chance to resupply and create the ability to launch new offensives. Trump intends to explain that Putin wants to end the slaughter that has claimed a total of more than a million lives on both sides, and that he is committed resolving outstanding issues through negotiation. The President will tell Zelenskyy that he will personally guarantee the ceasefire, and that it will lead to a permanent end to hostilities.
There is an apparent dispute between Trump and the Russians on whether there will be a European peacekeeping force to maintain the ceasefire. Zelenskyy and European leaders such as Macron and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have demanded such a force, but Russian spokesmen, such as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have rejected it. Trump, however, says that he has discussed this with Putin, and he will agree to its creation.
"This European, but non-NATO force has always been part of the Trump peace plan," said the source. "And it will be part of the final agreement. Trump will offer this as a concession to the Europeans and Zelenskyy, that he extracted from Putin. The Russian objections are staged to make the concession seem greater. Putin knows that there is going to have to be some peacekeepers, and that they will be European.
Sources say that Trump will have to give Zelenskyy something more than the peacekeepers to show that he is not being forced to eat Trump’s deal, which will end any hope of Ukraine joining NATO and which will cease the arming of Ukraine with any offensive weapons They say that Trump will agree to ease off on his demand for immediate new elections, the which have been delayed for more than nine months by Zelenskyy’s martial law decree; he will also promise to continue arms shipments approved by Biden until the deal is finalized,which shipments were halted at the beginning of this month.
It was on the advice of Witkoff and Trump’s Special Envoy to Ukraine and Russia, Gen. Keith Kellogg, that Trump agreed to meet with Zelenskyy ahead of a meeting with Putin.
Zelenskyy immediately jumped on this opportunity, telling the media that it was “very important” that he would be meeting first with Trump, before Putin.
“Trump, under advice from Witkoff and Kellogg has decided not to try to oust Zelenskyy and will instead try to work with him,” said the source. “Zelenskyy was furious when the U.S. sided with Russia in voting against a United Nations General Assembly resolution sponsored by Ukraine which blamed Russia for starting the war. But he was told by Kellogg that the sands had shifted and that he had better find a way to work with Trump. Witkoff, the hard cop in these matters, was more blunt in getting agreement on the minerals/rare earth deal: ‘It would be better for you and the Ukraine to work with us, instead of finding another way that avoids Trump. There is no such way.’”
Before his meeting with Trump yesterday, the source was asked what British Prime Minister Starmer might face from the President. Of late, Starmer has been raving about the “Russian threat to Europe” and the “need for the British to assume a greater role in leading Europe against Putin and the Russians.” Starmer’s main goal appears to be to try to save the so-called Special Relationship between Britain the United States by which the Anglo-American elite has dominated policy in what was called the “Western Alliance” since the death of President Franklin Roosevelt in 1945.
“The Special Relationship ended Feb. 12,” said the source. “The Brits were not informed in advance of Trump’s call to Putin, which was only one of many exchanges between the two, and the first to be publicly acknowledged. Trump held the Queen in high regard, and likes Prince William, but has no love for any other Brit, especially from Starmer’s Labor Party, which sent people to help Democrat Kamala Harris in the last election. The Brits have made the wrong choice in putting in power a government more suited to work with Harris than Trump. He will be polite and formal, but Trump is not going to be sharing with the Brits information on what he is doing, unless it serves his purpose. Starmer is being given a mission impossible. If it goes really badly, the British/NATO Establishment might have to choose a different course of action.
“When they don’t get what they want,” warned the source, “they eliminate the problem. Literally. The danger level for a Trump assassination must be very high right now. NATO and Brits have assets inside the U.S. military-intelligence complex who could collaborate in such an operation. Trump’s people have to be aware of the risk.”
