Just a few weeks ago, very few in the ‘Mainstream’ or ‘Legacy’ media even believed that real peace negotiations between the two superpowers US and Russia were possible.

But now that the winds of peace are blowing for the world to see after the historic return of President Donald J. Trump to power, this same media that we can maybe call ‘USAID-funded media’ has made a pivot: now they think it’s taking too long!

So almost everyday you have bogus reports on the state of negotiations that drown the real bits of information that we do have: negotiations are ongoing at a departmental level, and are accelerating.

Today (7), the Kremlin criticized the many inaccurate reports on U.S. plans for ending the Ukraine war, and – in an unusual development – called for ‘patience’.

Speculation is rampant about the timing and place of a possible meeting between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

They are about to make history.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked at a briefing about a report that Trump’s envoy Keith Kellogg sought a truce even before talks on a peace settlement.

Reuters reported:

“’We have nothing to add yet. There are a lot of statements and reports on this topic that are refuted, changed, recognized as hoaxes or something else the next day’, Peskov said.

‘There is nothing substantive on this account yet; we just need to be patient’.”

The two leaders, Trump and Putin, have repeatedly said to be willing meet in person, to bring about an end to the three-year-old conflict.

Saudi Arabia and UAE have been floated as places where the summit can take place.

MOSCOW, Feb 7 (Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Friday there had been a lot of inaccurate reports on U.S. plans for ending the Ukraine war and called for patience as speculation swirled around the timing of a possible meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
At a briefing with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked about a report that Trump’s envoy for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, was seeking to arrange a truce even before talks on a peace settlement.

“We have nothing to add yet. There are a lot of statements and reports on this topic that are refuted, changed, recognised as hoaxes or something else the next day,” Peskov said.
“There is nothing substantive on this account yet; we just need to be patient.”
Trump and Putin have both said they are keen to meet in person. The agenda, if such a meeting takes place, is expected to focus on Trump’s stated aim to bring a swift end to the three-year-old conflict.

“Russia is open to negotiations. In any case, a settlement should come as a result of negotiations,” Peskov said.
CNN earlier quoted Peskov as saying there had been no initial contacts between the two leaders about whether such a meeting was needed or where and how it might take place.
Leonid Slutsky, head of the Russian parliament’s international affairs committee, was cited by the state RIA news agency on Thursday as saying that preparations for such a meeting were at “an advanced stage” and that it could take place in February or March.

Peskov said on Wednesday that contacts with Trump’s team at the level of “individual departments” were intensifying, but declined to provide further details.
