Putin Stacks Negotiation Team With Ex-Spies and Sanctioned Elites, Bloomberg Reports

Amira Barkhush  |  Feb 14, 2025  |  19:32


Russian leader Vladimir Putin is reportedly assembling a team of close allies to negotiate with US representatives as former President Donald Trump pushes for a deal to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, Bloomberg reported on February 14, citing anonymous sources.

Yuri Ushakov
According to unnamed sources, the Russian team includes Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s Chief Foreign Policy Advisor, who has been Putin’s aide for over a decade and previously served as Russia’s ambassador to the US (1998-2008).

With over fifty years of diplomatic experience and a deep understanding of Washington’s political landscape, Ushakov’s involvement is a strategic choice that could prove pivotal in the negotiations.

Sergei Naryshkin
Another alleged member of the negotiations is Sergei Naryshkin, a “top spymaster,” Intelligence Chief, and former KGB colleague.

At the same time, Naryshkin, a longtime Putin confidant, has recently suggested that Ukraine’s neighboring countries consider the possibility of partitioning its territory.

Both Ushakov and Naryshkin were involved in ceasefire talks with Ukraine shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, the resulting deals of which were repeatedly broken by Russia.

Kirill Dmitriev
Additionally, the news agency reports that Kirill Dmitriev, a US-sanctioned financier educated at Stanford and Harvard with ties to Putin’s family  .  .  .

Don’t forget:  Putin has Donald Trump on his “negotiating” team, too.

I am amazed that ruzzia has not figured out how to protect these valuable assets against FPV drones.

The video shows that the guns are loaded with tracer rounds. Normally, every sixth round would be a tracer.

 So now, it's going to take 6 months and the U.S. will keep funding Ukraine.

The big question is: Will both sides agree to a cease fire?

Well, he thinks it's going to take six months but these people have no idea how it's like dealing with these Russians.  Just look who Putin detailed to negotiate for him.

In essence, a NATO minus North America.  US isolationists should be thrilled.

SKY NEWS: Zelenskyy's Europe armed forces call is harsh truth that London, Paris and Berlin needed to hear
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia was building a new force of up to 150,000 soldiers. He asked the audience at the Munich Security Conference: "If Russia came for you, could your army fight the same way [as Ukraine]?"
Deborah Haynes, Security and Defence Editor

It is time for an armed forces of Europe.

This was the key message from Ukraine's president at a major security conference in Munich that has brutally exposed European irrelevance when the US is not onside.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy said such a force would not replace the transatlantic NATO alliance, but it would instead ensure that Europe is as strong as Washington - and taken seriously by friends and foes once again. ...

A federal European Union with a military will quickly become oppressive and would likely see Russia and the USA as their principle adversaries. A posture that has been their norm for most of the past 249 years.

@ChuckPfarrer
AIR DEFENSE WIN: Ukrainian air defense /EW assets are reported to have downed a Russian 500 kg FAB-500M-54  high-explosive 3,000 kg (6,616 lbs) bomb near Pokrovsk.  The preferred target for Russian pilots using FAB-500Ms are apartment blocks and civil housing estates.

Just a reminder of the barbarity of Russia's war on the Ukrainian people.

FPV ambush on Russian assault group on ATV. The drone waits patiently on the ground, waiting for the target to appear and then takes off to strike.

This is bad-ass.

The drone's video shows a white square with a small red circle at the center.

My guess is the red circle indicates the drone's laser is firing.

Saves battery power.

I'm amazed at the quality of the video while the drone is on the ground.

Either the drone pilot is close by or the drone pilot is using a repeater drone.

My guess is repeater drone.
