Russia's Ex-President Suddenly Declared 'New Conditions to End War'. Putin's So-Called Peace Formula - The Russian Dude

[TexasTowelie]

In this video, we break down a moment that quietly shattered one of the biggest illusions surrounding Russia’s war in Ukraine. In a rare, carefully worded interview, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council and former president, said out loud what many in the Kremlin prefer to keep blurred by noise and speculation. Stripped of trolling and theatrics, Medvedev confirmed that Russia’s official position on ending the war has not softened, not evolved, and not moved an inch toward compromise. Instead, he openly reaffirmed that Moscow’s demands remain exactly as laid out by Vladimir Putin, and that those demands are viewed as the minimum, not the maximum.

The video explains why Medvedev’s words matter far more than his online persona, how his role inside the Russian power structure gives his statements real weight, and why his interview destroys the popular narrative that the Kremlin is secretly ready for peace talks. We revisit Putin’s conditions for a ceasefire, including Ukraine’s forced withdrawal from four regions and permanent rejection of NATO membership, and show how these requirements are designed not to end the war, but to shift blame and keep escalation open-ended. References by Sergey Lavrov and other officials only reinforce that this position has been repeatedly reaffirmed at the highest levels.

This video also explores the deeper problem behind Russia’s stated “goals of the special military operation,” goals that have no clear endpoints, no measurable criteria, and no final definition. From vague promises of “protecting people” to demands for reshaping Ukraine’s political identity, the framework guarantees that concessions never close the conflict, they only set the stage for the next round of demands. We examine how Medvedev openly admitted that Ukraine’s future borders are still “undecided,” depending on how events unfold, and why that language signals permanent pressure rather than a path to peace.

Finally, we unpack how Russian state media keeps audiences trapped in a loop of false hope, speculation, and blame-shifting, presenting peace as something Ukraine can unlock while official policy says the opposite. The result is a system where negotiations are performative, responsibility is outsourced, and the war can be paused or resumed at will. This video cuts through the noise to show why Medvedev’s comments leave no real room for compromise, no credible peace process, and no illusion left intact about how the Kremlin actually sees the end of this war.

1. Maybe this will wake Trump up and realize that Putin has no interest in peace.

OMG! I almost peed myself typing that!

2. The only end should be Russia moving out entirely and cleaning up their mess. They should be required to rebuild

Send in workers and materials. Rebuild and renew.

3. You can't treat White people like dirt and get away with it

4. Europeans know this. MAGA believes the Trump hype fed to them by Putin's social media operatives.

Russians threatened to use nukes in Afghanistan. They lost, left, and they didn't use nukes. The Russians threatened to use nukes in Europe if they lost. The Berlin wall went down, the Russians pulled out of East Germany and thru Poland. They didn't launch nukes. They were driven out of Chechnya in the first Chechen war and despite threats, they didn't use nukes.

Presently, Ukraine has neutralized about half of Russia's Strategic Bomber fleet. Most of their ICBMs from the 80s don't launch from silos, they have to be pulled out and launched from rail cars or specialized launch vehicles and they are constantly monitored by US and NATO satellites. Any movement or attempt to prepare for launch would invite preemptive launches of US (Maybe not with Krasnov or Vance in office) but definitely Finland anti-ICBM defenses. Their newer rockets are still land based. Their sub launched missiles are their biggest threat and modern satellite and naval drone technology has provided all of NATO and Ukraine with the means to monitor their entire fleet which from what we know about the serviceability of the current Russian navy, how many ships are currently mission capable? Even without the US, the other NATO countries have more economic and industrial resources than Russia which had an economy smaller than Italy even before the war and the sanctions.

Basically, they know they can't win so they try to hold on to the slice of the Donbas they still control while attacking civilian infrastructure to put pressure on Ukraine to give up. If they ever used nukes they would be bombed into oblivion. They would lose every ship and strategic aircraft they currently have within hours after launch. Then every sub would be found and destroyed. Their only aircraft carrier would be gone. And, all of their shipbuilding and aircraft manufacture/maintenance facilities would be destroyed.

They're already running out of troops because they won't commit the troops and newer tanks of the interior ministry to Ukraine like they did in Chechnya and they can't get anyone to enlist. They can't even get any more North Koreans or Africans. They also know the risk of internal revolt is high and getting worse.

Because Trump keeps trying to self deal with Putin, Putin keeps the war going in the hope of getting what he wants through Trump and Witkoff. Ukraine's only option is to hold out and keep killing Russian troops and tanks and bomb harder and deeper inside of Russia.
