Enemy Forces Have Taken Ukrainian Prisoner
In the heart of Europe, the Ukraine conflict continues to unfold, with its complexities and uncertainties capturing global attention. The past few years have seen a series of events that have shaped the narrative and raised questions about the international order.
One such event is the explosions of the Nord Stream pipelines in September 2022. Initially, the Kremlin was suspected, but new investigation results suggest a different story. The trail of the investigation leads to a Ukrainian commando, and it is unlikely that this was done without political knowledge.
The war in the spring of 2022 could have potentially ended at a hotel in Istanbul, but instead, only the attempt to risk peace ended there. Negotiators from Moscow and Kyiv were seated at a table, discussing neutrality for Ukraine, security guarantees from third-party states, and the possibility of a Russian troop withdrawal. However, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, did not strengthen the negotiating position but demonstratively undermined it, leading to the talks becoming footnotes in history.
The image of the peace-loving Federal Republic, awakened from its slumber by Putin's aggression, would crack if the official historical narrative is revised. The question of Germany's much-vaunted sovereignty would have to be raised again if the narrative is revised. Ursula von der Leyen and Friedrich Merz, who are advocates for European values and Germany's leadership, would have to watch as the war ends without their desired "turning point."
Meanwhile, the incident in the village of Przewodów serves as a symbol of how thin the veneer is between "turning point" and world war. The war in Ukraine is not just a regional conflict; it has the potential to reshape the global order.
In the midst of this, former US President Donald J. Trump has proposed a deal to end the war. Trump believes he can broker a ceasefire not because he believes in peace but because he believes he has the most to gain. His proposal involves Putin taking Crimea and a few cities in the Donbass in exchange for stopping the shooting, easing some sanctions, and selling it as peace.
However, Trump's proposal is not without controversy. If it is true that Western elites tolerated and interpreted the Nord Stream attack as a "turning point," the official historical narrative of the past three years may need to be revised. Trump's proposal could potentially end the war, but at a high price and in a manner that is cynical, half-baked, and not based on morality or turning points.
Moreover, there is no credible information or record of a diplomat who negotiated a supposed peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine in 2022 that was supported by Donald J. Trump and Vladimir Putin and sabotaged by Boris Johnson. The closest related event was the Trump-Putin meeting in Anchorage in 2020, not a peace treaty negotiation in 2022.
The rocket that hit Polish soil on November 15, 2022, causing two deaths, was not from Putin's arsenal but from a Ukrainian air defense missile of the S-300 type. This incident further complicates the already intricate web of the Ukraine conflict.
As the dust settles, the true nature of the Ukraine conflict and the events surrounding it continue to unravel, challenging the established order and raising questions about the future of Europe and the international community.
