The War for the Peace, Continues
Prolonging a war to bury corruption and legalize theft

Correction 2025-03-14: Figures from Gerasimov were incorrectly specified. They have been corrected and a source added.
John Helmer in his article and Pepe Escobar on Dialogue Works (see sources) explained the "30 day" offer to continue the war, deceitfully labeled as a "ceasefire".
Britain's National Security Adviser, Jonathan Powell, worked with his Ukrainian counterpart Yermak to produce the draft document put on the table in Jeddah at the meeting between the US and Ukraine.
[Helmer]
After the meeting, US Secretary of State Rubio lied in public stating that the US offered this proposal to Ukraine.
Today we’ve made an offer that the Ukrainians have accepted
Because the document does not address the root causes of the war, it does nothing to construct a peace, which Russia demands. Thus, the "proposal" was known by the US to be dead before it was discussed in public. It is a prop in a piece of theatre designed to continue the war while other activities, more important than ending the war, are pursued.

The document includes the lie of Russia "stealing children". Orphans in Donbas who had known nothing but war in their lives were relocated to Russia where they are thriving in peaceful environs with health care, emotional support and are receiving an education. The British who almost certainly included the lie in the document, imply that they want these children to still be living in a war zone where they could be murdered by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
The AFU has horrifically murdered, burned alive with incendiary tipped missiles, their own soldiers in a Russian controlled prisoner of war facility in Donbas, late in the battle for Mariupol. The AFU consistently committed war crimes against the civilians of Donbas during the 8 year civil war, bombing hospitals, schools, market places, child care facilities, and other civilian facilities, not to mention scattering unexploded bombs everywhere -- the petal mines.
Britain's purpose including the lie in the document was that when the document is released, if Russia rejected the proposal, the Western media condemnation would be both that Russia refused to end the war, and is guilty of stealing children. Understanding the play, Russian President Putin has instead welcomed the "proposal", suggesting that its details require consideration.
Meanwhile, Britain is preparing to "win the peace" with former Ukrainian Commander Zaluzhny who they recently used to accuse, at Chatham House of all places, the US of "destroying the world order". Chatham House is the center of the network of "Royal Institute(s) of International Affairs", the US version of which is called the Council on Foreign Relations, through which the British influence global affairs. Zaluzhny is Britain's pawn to control the government to be constructed in Ukraine after dead-man-walking Zelensky is removed.
One of the reasons Britain needs to control Ukraine's post-Zelensky government is to legalize the resource and facility claims contained in unpublished annexes to the "100 year" partnership deal signed by Sir Starmer and Zelensky. This minimally includes mineral rights and ports, most importantly Odessa. Odessa will provide the UK access to the Black Sea, from where they can continue to poke Russia.

Putin wore military clothing for the first time during the Special Military Operation. During the meeting, Gerasimov stated that during the last 6 months of Ukraine’s invasion: Ukraine suffered 67 000+ casualties and were responsible for 19% of Russian casualties and 40% of Russian equipment losses during the period while Russia removed the invading forces from Kursk. The invading forces are surrounded and systematically defeated.]
The US part in the theatre of continuing the war while proposing a "ceasefire" and falsely blaming Russia of not being willing to end it, is its role in acquiring the same resources which Britain covets. The US has yet to pick its candidate to control the post Zelensky government, or if they have, they have yet to establish a secure mechanism for his or her path to rule.
The continuation of the war, via this dead on arrival British drafted document of deceit proposed by Ukraine and declared by the US as its own, is deliberate. The US and the UK are fighting over the spoils of war.
Keep clearly in mind that the corrupt government in Kiev which is fighting this war with NATO supplied equipment is paid for by the US and EU, and in small parts by Britain and France. They own the Ukrainian government. They could stop this war in an instant by withdrawing their funds. Ukraine could not then pay its soldiers or government officials. The war would stop instantly. What little money the Ukrainian oligarchs still have in Ukraine would be taken out of it at close to light speed.
But, they cannot do this, because in Kiev are all of the documents which prove British, US, French and EU (at least) complicity in the corruption of the war. These are the crown jewels of the corrupt Ukrainian oligarchy who are the government.
The War for the Peace between the corrupt US, British, EU and Ukrainian governments is two-fold: for control of the data which documents the corruption, and the legalization of the carving up of Ukraine. Their objective is to achieve this and for Ukraine to be the "steel porcupine", using EU Commissioner van der Crazy's metaphor, which continues to poke the Russian bear.
Postscript
[Russian forces have completed the capture of the Sudzha agglomeration.]
The farce of democracy in Europe, recently highlighted by US Vice President Vance, also continues, with the Romanian Central Electoral Bureau's refusal to register Georgescu as candidate for president at the May 4 election. Unsurprisingly, a former Moldovan president and current opposition party are concerned about the same external control over candidate registration in their upcoming elections in the (northern) Autumn.

What kind of country drops land mines - which harm civilians for decades - on towns that it claims fighting to protect ?
This what the US and Europe are funding. Wow.
