Ukraine Supporting European Union Leaders Warned Are Caught In Trump-Putin Trap

A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting that on 10 February diplomats mark their professional Russian Diplomats Day, which was established by a Presidential Decree in 2002 to commemorate the founding of the Russian Diplomatic Service in 1549, says to mark the occasion President Putin declared this morning: “Even in today’s difficult international environment, the Russian Foreign Ministry firmly and consistently defends Russia’s legitimate national interests, ensures productive cooperation with the majority of countries in order to build a just multipolar world order based on mutual respect, international law, and the principles of equal and indivisible security”.
As the top Russian diplomat, this report notes, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov proclaimed this morning: “Today, when Russia is once again faced with crucial challenges, its primary task and sacred duty is to defend peace based on the legal results of World War II…This noble goal will be achieved, despite all the efforts of our ill-wishers and open enemies to falsify historical facts, revive Nazism and militarism, and curtail international dialogue and cooperation in suppressing Russia and other rivals for the sake of domination through force and neocolonialism”.
As the number two Russian diplomat, this report continues, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin assessed this morning: “We are observing that recently, probably, over the past couple of weeks, the collective West and, particularly, the US and its new administration, have been talking about the need for the swiftest relaunch and resumption of a negotiation process in order to move toward the political and diplomatic settlement of the Ukraine crisis…So far, such statements have only been made in the public space and we do not have any official inquiries on that matter…But I have to say that with all these seemingly positive statements, actually nothing has changed given that the West continues to flood the Nazi Kiev regime with arms…We observe this fact and take it into account in our policy above all…In total, over almost three years, the volume of weapons provided to the Kiev regime has amounted to about $200 billion”.
In response to socialist European Union leaders talking about sending their troops to Ukraine, this report details, top Russian diplomat Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia to the United Nations warned today: “Peacekeepers cannot operate without a mandate from the UN Security Council…Otherwise, any foreign military contingents sent into the combat zone will be regarded as ordinary combatants under international law and a legitimate military target for our armed forces”.
Officially speaking for all Russian diplomats, this report notes, is Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who most factually observed today: “Zelensky, the enfant terrible, along with his regime, created by the West itself, continues to demand more financial and military support, fully aware of the situation’s hopelessness…To maintain momentum, the West occasionally throws in new funding and weapons while issuing fresh statements of encouragement…I’ve heard claims that the Ukraine conflict could be resolved in a single day…Many dismissed this idea with irony…But Zelensky himself provided the answer, he admitted that they wouldn’t last even a day without US assistance”.
Last Monday, this report continues, President Donald Trump suggested that future American military aid to Ukraine could be given in exchange for valuable natural resources—but American geopolitical experts at the Responsible Statecraft organization quickly pointed out the absurdity of this suggestion: “Even if Zelenskyy does eventually address or even support Trump’s plan, many of Ukraine’s mineral deposits are now in Russian hands…Since August 2024, Russia’s military strategy has shifted to target mineral rich Ukrainian land areas…Russian forces have made significant progress in capturing coal, uranium, and lithium mines…In the process they have weakened a Ukrainian economy that is already in massive debt and has been suspended from major international lending markets….Whenever the war in Ukraine does finally end, it seems unlikely that the country will be able to use its own natural resources to get back on its feet”.
During his first term in office, this report concludes, President Trump was advised by his Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, retired United States Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, Ph.D., who just factually warned that Ukraine is totally defeated—a factual warning joined by American economists Richard D. Wolff and Michael Hudson predicting that President Trump is about to dump the entire Ukraine debacle into the lap of socialist European Union leaders—and is a prediction that explains the panicked Politico article “Caught In Trump-Putin Trap, EU Leaders Hold ‘Open Heart Surgery’ Summit”.
