The Ukraine peace plan didn’t just fail, it triggered a political crisis inside the West that exposed everything wrong with NATO strategy, EU leadership, and the entire imperial project behind the war.
After nearly three years of fighting, Washington quietly drafted a plan acknowledging what they denied since day one: the war is unwinnable.
But when Europe found out the U.S. was negotiating behind their backs, the trans-Atlantic alliance fractured.
➡️ This video breaks down:
How the 28-point plan proves the West is retreating
Why the EU panicked and counter-attacked with its own proposal
Zelensky’s ambiguous reaction and political vulnerability
The massive Energoatom corruption scandal
Russia’s clear and immovable terms for peace
The battle over $200B in frozen Russian assets
The end of the “rules-based order” as the world enters multipolarity
The empire is cracking and Ukraine was only the beginning.

00:00for nearly three years the war in Ukraine has been framed as a simple moral narrative
00:10a small democracy resisting an authoritarian giant with the West acting as its noble protector but
00:18in reality this conflict has always been a geopolitical project proxy war engineered
00:23financed and sustained by imperial ambitions what began as a calculated US NATO effort to weaken
00:30Russia has transformed into a strategic disaster exposing fractures inside the West itself and now
00:37in late 2025 as Russia gains a decisive military and demographic advantage something extraordinary
00:45happened a 28 point peace plan surfaced not from Ukraine not from Europe but from deep within
00:52Washington's own back channels this plan quietly circulated between officials and oligarchs
00:57represents the West's first tacit admission that the war is unwinnable it reflects desperation not
01:04diplomacy and the moment Brussels discovered Washington negotiating over Ukraine's future
01:09without them a political earthquake shook the transatlantic alliance what follows is not simply
01:16the story of a peace proposal it is the story of how empires manufacture narratives
01:21deny battlefield realities sabotage their own diplomacy and ultimately sacrifice entire
01:27nations to preserve geopolitical illusions this is the peace plan saga an x-ray of contemporary
01:34imperialism late November 2025 a 28 point document begins quietly circulating through diplomatic channels it is
01:43reportedly drafted by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in consultation with Kirill Dimetrov the influential head of Russia's
01:51sovereign wealth fund with input from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Jared Kushner for
01:56the first time since the war began Washington is entertaining proposals that acknowledge Russia's military and political position
02:03this marks a dramatic shift from the maximalist demands of 2022 to 2024 when Western
02:10leaders insisted on victory territorial integrity and even the strategic defeat of Russia
02:16the conditions listed are astonishing when viewed in context the plan required Ukraine to abandon NATO
02:23membership entirely cap its military at 600,000 troops a remarkable reduction compared to its wartime mobilization
02:30accept non-nuclear status permanently ban Nazi ideology explicitly in its constitution guaranteed linguistic and cultural rights to Russian speakers and most importantly
02:42recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea and the Donbass republics these demands would have been political suicide for Ukrainian leadership just months earlier
02:51but on the battlefield Ukraine was collapsing Russian forces were advancing along multiple axes
02:57Ukraine's air defenses were exhausted and energy infrastructure was being systematically degraded
03:03Kyu faced a demographic crisis with millions of refugees permanently displaced hundreds of thousands dead and the young male population shrinking dramatically
03:13this plan wasn't diplomacy it was capitulation disguised as negotiation Washington understood the war was lost the imperial project had failed and they needed an exit ramp that would not look like total defeat
03:27but there was a problem Europe wasn't ready to accept reality and neither was Ukraine's political elite the US presented its proposal to Kyu on November 21st almost immediately panic spread across European capitals
03:41the European Union feared being sidelined excluded from shaping the post-war order and from the lucrative reconstruction contracts expected to follow the conflict
03:53more importantly the EU feared losing political control over Ukraine stated had essentially absorbed into its geopolitical orbit since 2014 that panic triggered an emergency meeting in Geneva on November 23rd
04:06personally pushed by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Ukraine must have the freedom and sovereign right to choose its own destiny
04:14they have chosen a European destiny according to Ursula von der Leyen this is the language of ownership not sovereignty
04:22European destiny has nothing to do with what Ukrainians actually want
04:26it is Brussels insisting on its authority over Ukraine's future
04:30Europe's 24 point counterproposal was not just a rejection it was sabotage of any meaningful peace effort
04:38the EU demanded that Ukraine maintain an 800,000 strong army significantly larger than anything sustainable NATO style security guarantees
04:48without formal NATO membership control over strategic energy and industrial assets including the Zaporozzi nuclear power plant and sustainable peace
04:57clauses enabling automatic snapback sanctions on Russia
05:02this was not a peace plan
05:04this was the blueprint for perpetual confrontation
05:07the same strategy that created the conditions for war in the first place
05:10Europe was signaling two things
05:13it would not accept American unilateralism in Ukraine
05:16and it preferred a frozen conflict to a settlement favorable to Russia
05:20Washington and Brussels were now at odds
05:23each trying to impose its vision for Ukraine
05:26but while the West fought itself diplomatically
05:28someone else entered the stage
05:30someone whose response was far more ambiguous than expected
05:34on the same day the plan was presented
05:36November 21st
05:38Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a public address
05:41what stood out was not the rhetoric
05:43but the omissions
05:44he did not mention NATO membership
05:46reaffirm Ukraine's territorial red lines
05:49reject the idea of concessions
05:51or repeat the usual insistence on victory
05:54instead he spoke about dignity
05:56difficult decisions
05:57and the need to preserve Ukraine
05:59Zelenskyy's silence was the message
06:02it was the first clear signal that
06:04kid you understood the war was no longer winnable
06:06he was preparing his population psychologically
06:09for a shift no politician had dared articulate before
06:12but Zelenskyy's caution was not purely strategic
06:15was engulfed in the most devastating corruption scandal of his presidency
06:19a scandal that threatened not only his legitimacy
06:23but the entire political elite surrounding him
06:26as peace talks intensified in Geneva
06:28an entirely different battle was erupting back home
06:31one that exposed the rotting core of the Ukrainian state
06:34on November 10th
06:36the Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau
06:38launched Operation Midas
06:40covering a $100 million embezzlement scheme in the energy sector
06:44the scandal centered on the oligarch Timur-Mindich
06:47and involved high-ranking officials inside state-owned Energatom
06:51the crown jewel of Ukraine's nuclear energy infrastructure
06:55investigators conducted over 1,000 hours of wiretaps
06:58and 70 property searches over 15 months
07:01evidence pointed to systemic corruption at the highest levels
07:05illegal payments offshore laundering networks
07:07manipulated energy contracts
07:09and coordinated kickback schemes
07:11names implicated included
07:13Andrew Yermek
07:14Zelenskyy's all-powerful chief of staff
07:16Rustem Umarov
07:18former defense minister
07:20and potentially Zelenskyy himself
07:22based on intercepted conversations
07:24and testimony from insiders
07:26Zelenskyy responded not by purging his government
07:29but by shielding his inner circle
07:31he forced symbolic resignations
07:34imposed sanctions on Mindich
07:36who had already fled reportedly to Israel
07:39and most shockingly
07:41appointed Yermek
07:42under investigation
07:43to lead Ukraine's delegation in Geneva
07:46diplomatic immunity
07:48became a tool of political protection
07:50this scandal revealed a harsh truth
07:52while Ukrainians were drafted
07:54displaced and killed
07:56their leaders were enriching themselves
07:58the West which claims to defend democracy
08:01continued sending billions with minimal oversight
08:04corruption was not a bug of the Ukrainian system
08:07it was a feature tolerated as long as it served imperial objectives
08:11but corruption is merely a symptom
08:13the deeper disease is geopolitical
08:16a world view in which Ukraine is not a sovereign nation
08:19but a pawn in a much older imperial struggle
08:23to understand the peace plan
08:25one must understand the war
08:27and to understand the war
08:30one must understand NATO's eastward expansion
08:33for 30 years
08:34Western powers insisted that Russia
08:36had no legitimate security concerns
08:39promises made in the early 1990s
08:41that NATO would not expand one inch eastward
08:43were either forgotten or deliberately rewritten
08:46instead
08:47expansion became doctrine

09:14Finland
09:15Russia repeatedly warned that NATO on its borders
09:18was an existential threat
09:20Western leaders dismissed these warnings as paranoia
09:23Russia
09:24but Russian security doctrine shaped by the memory of 27 million Soviet dead in World War II
09:29interprets hostile alliances on its frontier as catastrophic
09:33the Minsk agreements supposedly designed to bring peace
09:36were later admitted by European leaders like Merkel and Holland to be stalling tactics
09:41a way to arm Ukraine further
09:43in other words the conflict was engineered through deceit
09:46the truth is simple
09:47this war was never about sovereignty
09:49was about imperial expansion and containment of Russia
09:53and as diplomats debated borders and armies
09:56another front opened
09:57one fought not with missiles but with money
10:00Europe holds roughly 200 billion dollars in frozen Russian central bank reserves
10:05much of it managed by Euroclear in Belgium
10:08in late 2025 facing budgetary exhaustion and mounting public anger
10:14EU officials proposed using these funds as collateral for new loans to Ukraine
10:18or even seizing them outright
10:20they framed it as a moral duty
10:22it was in reality a financial hail mary
10:26Euroclear itself warned that such a seizure would be interpreted globally as theft
10:31setting a precedent that could destabilize international finance
10:35if powerful nations can have their reserves confiscated arbitrarily
10:39why would China Saudi Arabia India or Brazil trust European financial institutions
10:45but Europe was desperate
10:47its economies were slowing
10:48energy costs remained high
10:50inflation persisted
10:51and defense spending had surged
10:53political elites needed money to sustain the Ukrainian project
10:57but could not ask voters for more sacrifices
10:59thus the EU's approach became a microcosm of western imperial economics
11:05privatize rewards
11:07socialize risks
11:09and seize assets when politically convenient
11:11but no amount of financial maneuvering could change one fact
11:15only one party in this conflict held the decisive military advantage
11:19and that party had already defined what peace must look like
11:21throughout the diplomatic chaos
11:23Russia's position remained fundamentally consistent
11:27President Vladimir Putin publicly articulated Russia's conditions multiple times
11:31in June 2024
11:33during the August 15, 2025 Alaska summit with Donald Trump
11:37and again in November 2025
11:39the conditions are
11:41Ukraine must withdraw from territories Russia now considers part of its federation
11:45Donetsk
11:47Lugansk
11:49Zaporosy
11:51Ukraine must adopt legal neutrality
11:53permanently renouncing NATO membership
11:55Ukraine must undergo denazification
11:57dismantling far-right groups
11:59militias
12:01and state-sanctioned glorification of Nazi collaborators
12:03these are not bargaining chips
12:05under Russian constitutional law
12:07the territories integrated in 2022
12:09cannot be ceded
12:11politically
12:13socially
12:14and historically
12:15Russia considers NATO expansion to its borders
12:17an existential red line
12:19these are structural limits
12:21not negotiating preferences
12:23foreign minister Sergi Lavrov warned that erasing the terms of the Alaska agreement
12:27would create a fundamentally different situation
12:31a diplomatic way of saying Russia's patience was nearing an end
12:35and so
12:37as November unfolded
12:39the world witnessed not one peace plan
12:41but three competing visions
12:43each revealing the true priorities
12:45of its architects
12:47by late November 2025
12:49three rival frameworks emerged
12:51one
12:53Washington's plan
12:55a controlled settlement that reintegrates
12:57Russia into global markets
12:59while preserving Western influence
13:01in a truncated Ukraine
13:03it relies on 100 billion dollars
13:05in frozen Russian assets
13:07and another 100 billion dollars from Europe
13:09for reconstruction
13:11two
13:12Europe's plan
13:13a strategy to freeze the conflict
13:15maintain Ukraine as a militarized buffer zone
13:18and keep sanctions as a permanent lever over Moscow
13:22it prioritizes European dominance in Ukraine's post-war economy
13:26three
13:27Russia's plan
13:29a settlement based on territorial realities
13:31Ukrainian neutrality
13:33and dismantling of extremist networks
13:35in Ukraine itself
13:37it is treated not as an actor
13:39but as an object
13:40managed by Western elites
13:42instrumentalized by NATO
13:43and sacrificed for geopolitical strategy
13:46the tragedy is that all these visions of peace share one thing
13:50they are crafted by imperial powers for their own interests
13:53the peace plan saga exposes four fundamental truths about modern imperialism
13:59first
14:00so called rules based order applies rules selectively
14:03breaking international law whenever it suits geopolitical objectives
14:07second
14:08NATO expansion was never about democracy or security
14:11it was about hegemony
14:13resource access
14:14and encirclement
14:16third
14:17Ukrainian sovereignty has been weaponized
14:19not protected
14:20the West cares only about Ukraine's utility
14:23not its survival
14:24fourth
14:25corruption and authoritarianism
14:26are tolerated
14:28even encouraged
14:29when they serve imperial interests
14:31one thing is certain
14:33a settlement will eventually come
14:35Russia's military position guarantees it
14:38the real question is how many more Ukrainians will die
14:41before Western leaders admit that multipolarity is not a threat
14:45but a reality
14:46because attempting to dominate Eurasia through proxies is not strategy
14:50it is madness
14:51Putin offered Europe written security guarantees in late November 2025
14:56reaffirming that Russia has no intention of attacking the West
14:59Europe dismissed this instantly
15:02yet NATO expands
15:03sanctions escalate
15:04Ukrainian lives continue to be sacrificed
15:07the 28-point plan
15:09flawed as it is
15:10marks the first Western recognition that battlefield conditions
15:14not ideology
15:15will define the endgame
15:17but until the imperial mindset collapses
15:20until sovereignty is respected
15:22and security concerns are mutual
15:24peace will remain temporary
15:26the Ukrainian people
15:28deserve reconstruction
15:30stability
15:31and real self-determination
15:33not as a NATO outpost
15:35not as an EU dependency
15:37but as a neutral bridge between civilizations
15:40only then will the forever war finally end
