Putin ‘agrees in principle’ to the Trump proposed 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine, but it comes with a long list of preconditions

We have long said that Vladimir Putin is not trying to win the war with Ukraine so much as he is using it as bait to lure in other nations for a much larger conflict than what is going on right now. He is a very wily and crafty dictator that has, thus far, managed to maintain absolute power over Russia for many decades. His dream is a restoration of the Soviet Union, and the way things continue to go, he just might get it. Putin isn’t giving up anything, and why should he? Trump put him in the driver’s seat.

“Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 39:5 (KJB)

So let’s see how far along we all go with this 30-day ceasefire business, but I am not holding out much hope for it to happen and if it does happen it highly likely will be broken. We are in the last days of the Church Age, smack dab in the middle of the beginning of the end times, and wars have been determined for the duration. That’s the memo.

Putin Agrees in Principle with U.S.-Proposed 30-day Ukraine Ceasefire

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday he agrees in principle with a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, qualifying his affirmation by noting a host of terms and conditions are still to be determined to ensure any lasting peace. AP reports the development now needs a mechanism to begin the transition process from an idea into action.

“So the idea itself is correct, and we certainly support it,” Putin told a news conference in Moscow, AP set out. “But there are issues that we need to discuss, and I think that we need to discuss it with our American colleagues and partners.”

The Russian leader noted the need to develop a mechanism to control possible breaches of the truce. Another issue, he said, is whether Ukraine could use the 30-day ceasefire to continue mobilization and rearmament.

“We agree with the proposals to halt the fighting, but we proceed from the assumption that the ceasefire should lead to lasting peace and remove the root causes of the crisis,” Putin said.

A delegation of United States diplomats had earlier arrived in Moscow for talks on agreeing a ceasefire, with a possible call between President Donald Trump and Putin to follow, as Breitbart News reported.

AP further reports Putin noted while it appeared that the U.S. persuaded Ukraine to accept a ceasefire, Kyiv is interested in that because of the battlefield situation, pointing out Ukrainian troops that launched an incursion into Russia’s Kursk region would be fully blocked in the coming days.

This is where Putin is actually going, and it’s not a ceasefire

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, in a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, declared that Belarusians fully understand who their true allies and adversaries are. He emphasized the nation’s backing of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, reinforcing Belarus’ deep-rooted alliance with Moscow. Lukashenko’s remarks come as tensions escalate in the region, signaling unwavering support for Russia’s war efforts.

Vladimir Putin responds to ceasefire proposal

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he supports the US-led ceasefire deal for Ukraine. The Russian President insists he must talk to US President Donald Trump before agreeing to the deal. He says he still has reservations about a ceasefire, including how it would be enforced on the 1000-kilometre front line of the conflict.

Russia, China and Iran come together for naval drills in ‘Operation Maritime Security Belt 2025’ as Axis alliance continues to grow and gain power

Five years ago, on January 1 2020, our very first article of that incredible year was about the first-ever joint military alliance between Russia, China and Iran, that’s how 2020 started. The operation was called the ‘Marine Security Belt’. Yesterday, Russia, China and Iran kicked off ‘Operation Maritime Security Belt 2025’, whose aim is to increase coordination between Russia and China to defend and protect Iran. Today is Day 1,821 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and the needle remains pinned at the top of the end times meter. That’s the memo.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Ecclesiastes 1:9,10 (KJB)

As sure as I’m sitting here writing this, and you sitting there reading it, we are headed for WWIII like a bullet, with all the key factors needed for such an event present and accounted for. WWI prepared the land for the Jews, WWII prepared the Jews for the land, and WWIII will prepare them for the time of Jacob’s trouble. Buckle up, Christian, and let’s work to put a few more souls in  the seats on Flight #777 while we still can. TO THE FLIGHT!!!

Russia, China and Iran combine military muscle for ‘Operation Maritime Security Belt 2025’

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Iran’s navy is taking part in a three-day drill with Russia and China. Iranian media said that the Iranian navy had successfully executed the second day of the joint drill. “The three-day naval drills, codenamed the 2025 Maritime Security Belt, kicked off Monday in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Oman,” the report said.

“Rear Admiral Mostafa Tajeddini, deputy operations commander of the Iranian Navy, said on Tuesday that aerial photography exercises and tactical formations were successfully conducted during the joint maritime drill,” IRNA added.

Iran says that its navy is “committed to establishing security both regionally and globally, adding that the Navy will not allow any threats or incursions into the nation’s maritime borders.” Iran doesn’t have a very large navy. The importance is largely related to coordination with China and Russia.

Meanwhile, Iranian Rear Admiral Shahram Irani slammed Trump in comments on March 11. He claimed that Trump had said that the US was not concerned about joint drills. “He said that the participation of three countries in the military exercise, titled Security Belt 2025, is focused on fostering security, contrasting it with the presence of countries like the United States, which consistently contributed to global instability,” IRNA noted. He also praised the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS, of which Iran is a member.

Russia ties are important. Iran provides Moscow with drones. Iran and Russia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to produce microelectronic components, Iran’s state media said. “Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade signed the agreement with the Nano and Micro Technology Development Headquarters, a division of the Iranian Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and the Knowledge-Based Economy, on Tuesday, the Moscow-based Kommersant newspaper reported.” The report adds that the Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center (ZNTC), “one of Russia’s leading firms in nanotechnology,” will to produce advanced nanolithography equipment, telecommunication multiplexers, and automotive sensors.

The naval drills come as Iran seeks to project power in the region. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said, “Iran is determined to fulfill its obligation to the Iraqi administration in thwarting unlawful actions by the United States.” In addition, the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) said it has “dispatched 500 tons of humanitarian aid to Lebanon, according to Babak Mahmoud, the head of the IRCS Aid and Relief Organization.” This shows Iran shoring up support in Iraq and Lebanon.

Iran also said on March 11 that it has not received a letter from US President Donald Trump, “days after he claimed to have sent such a letter to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei,” IRNA noted. READ MORE

“Finger On Trigger” Iran Warns US Amid “Security Belt-2025” Naval Drills With China, Russia

Iran, China, and Russia have launched their annual Security Belt-2025 naval drills in the Gulf of Oman, reinforcing military ties amid shifting global alliances under US President Donald Trump. The exercises, involving warships, helicopters, and support vessels, are strategically significant as they take place near the vital Strait of Hormuz, through which a quarter of the world’s oil shipments pass. While Trump dismissed concerns over the joint drills, asserting US military superiority, analysts view them as a sign of growing coordination among authoritarian states seeking to counterbalance Washington’s influence. With tensions escalating between the US and Iran—especially as Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign intensifies—Iranian military officials have warned they are fully prepared for any confrontation. The presence of international observers from multiple countries highlights the broader geopolitical impact of these exercises, as Iran, China, and Russia showcase their ability to secure key maritime routes.

The name alone carries a sinister weight – Eurussian Empire – an alliance of two once historically opposing forces, Europe and Russia.

The war between Russia and Ukraine has gone on for over 3 years now, and one thing’s for sure. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is not trying to win the war, he is merely keeping it percolating on autopilot as events grind on around him. So, if the goal of the war Putin started is not simply to take control of Ukraine, what’s the end game? As a student of history, I would have to say that Putin’s end game is the restoration of the Soviet Union, of which Ukraine plays a small but meaningful part.

“Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:” Ezekiel 39:1 (KJB)

The group we are telling you about today, United24, was created by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, so obviously it’s perspective on things is not impartial. But seeing as they have been a 50% participant in this war for the past three years, they have some useful insight to offer. The future they map out in their project entitled ‘Possible History’, is exactly as the title suggests, it’s quite possible. I know this much, I know that when WWIII comes, Russia and Germany will be the drivers of it, that’s certain. I also know that Russia has a much bigger vision than just Ukraine, and is using the war they started to get what they want from it in terms of political concessions like the ones President Trump is now talking about. Putin is quite possibly crazy, but he is “madman crazy” and will cause massive amounts of damage if he is not stopped. Something that no one seems to be able to do.

Rise of Putin’s ‘Eurussian Empire’ over next five years mapped out step by step

FROM THE METRO UK: This new world order sounds like inconceivable fiction, but it is predicted to materialize on the continent by 2030. Possible History, a new project by United24, a Ukrainian initiative launched by Volodymyr Zelensky, is offering a glimpse into a future where Vladimir Putin gets what he wants.

Released as a warning on the third anniversary of his full-scale invasion, it reflects Donald Trump’s bromance with the authoritarian leader and the US rehabilitation of Russia. It also comes on the exact date as the US sided with Russia, North Korea and Belarus to vote against a UN resolution to condemn the war. What has already started as whispered negotiations between Russia and the US for a ceasefire ends in Ukraine being forced into making territorial concessions, without future security guarantees or NATO membership.

This is all expected to happen in the next three months, United24 projects, setting off a chain of irreparable reactions.

May 2025: sanctions on Russia’s RT dropped

By May, sanctions on Russian media channel RT would be lifted, allowing the Kremlin’s propaganda to flow into Europe unchecked. During the Biden presidency, the US accused RT of ‘covert’ intelligence activities and introduced a plethora of sanctions against Russian media.

‘Three things are certain in life: death, taxes and RT’s interference in the US elections,’ the then US secretary of state Antony Blinken said in September.

July 2025: Russian war drills near NATO borders

In July, Russia is set to hold military drills on the territory of its biggest ally, Belarus, on the border with NATO members Poland and Lithuania. A joint exercise between the two nations was announced last week, set to begin in September. It is part of efforts by the two neighbours to expand their military ties amid the fighting in Ukraine.

October 2026: Russian invasion of Moldova

Jumping forward to October 2026, Russia is projected to invade Moldova – through the puppet government of Transnistria – deploying North Korean soldiers. Fears have long been stoked that Putin was preparing for another landgrab in Europe, turning his eyes on the sliver of breakaway land in the south of Moldova.

Since the invasion of Ukraine, Russian elites have repeatedly called on Moldova to avoid Western influence, referring to the autonomous region as ‘the next Ukraine.’ Almost a year after the capture of Moldova, in July 2027, Europe is set to go dark without Internet connection after vital undersea cables are cut.Similar ruptures have been rattling European security officials in recent months, but investigations are yet to determine if they were due to Russian sabotage or were maritime accidents.

May 2029: Putin opens military bases in NATO

By May 2029, the pro-Russian governments of Slovakia and Hungary are projected to sign agreements to host multiple Russian military bases on their territory as part of secret security deals. Hungary’s gradual turn to Russia can be traced back to November 2010, when the newly elected prime minister Viktor Orbán made his first visit to Moscow. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength, with Hungary refusing to join the EU sanctions against Russia, making Europeans more and more fearful of the Kremlin’s sprawling influence.

December 2029: Conscription reinstated

That same year, in December, both governments of the Netherlands and Germany are expected to abolish voluntary army recruitment and reinstate conscription. Military service – with varying aspects – is already in force in nine countries: Cyprus, Greece, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark. But Russia’s imperialistic thirst has forced most European nations – Britain included – to rethink its stance.

May 2030: Defense spend exceeds healthcare

This will also result in defence spending exceeding healthcare costs in the EU, United24 projects. By May 2030, at least 76% of EU social benefits are set to be cut in favour of financing the defence sector. While Europe is far away from such measures, Sir Keir Starmer has already promised to boost defence amid the threat from Russia.

September 2030: Invasion of Finland and Poland

The projection for the ‘Eurussian Empire’ ends three months later, in September 2030, when Putin is supposed to announce a ‘special military operation’ on NATO. Russian forces are witnessed crossing the borders of Finland and Poland less than a decade after invading Ukraine. United24 conducted the project with the help of studies from Estonia and Denmark ahead of the three-year anniversary of the war. READ MORE
