BAD NEWS For Ukraine At "Peace Summit." Support Is Eroding. | Prof. Nicolai Petro 

The club of comedians attended the Peace Summit in Switzerland

Hahaha 😄How arrogant the G7 leaders are. A peace summit without a key player is like a wedding ceremony without the Groom. 😬 NOTHING is gonna come out of the peace summit. You seize Russian assets and you expect a peaceful settlement? In Your Dreams! 😝

Main concern is the lack of discussions about the neo Nazis in power before and present.

To simplify a very messy situation,just change the Ukrainian regime! Zelensky has to go.

Switzeland show their true color..they're not neutral..😂

Clowns 🤡 summit 🤣

UNFORTUNATELY neither the Swiss conference nor this interview dealt with the "elephant in the room". The conflict has NEVER been about Ukraine. The Russians have consistently reminded us of the historical context, vis a vis NATO's "march" eastwards, wherein Ukraine has been used as a) the battlefield and b) the sacrificial pawn, by combined Western powers to overthrow and dismantle Russia. Discussing the ins and outs of a negotion process between Ukraine and Russia is fruitless without understanding that the NATO allies don't give a damn about the people of Ukraine or of Russia. If they did care they woud not have started this conflict, trashing Ukraine by constant political and social interference, dating from at least the signing of the Budapest Memorandum and Munich conferences of the 1990's. It is the NATO/European "alliance" that must take responsibility for all of this and unconditionally surrender. The one seed of hope to bring that about could arise from a truce between Russia and Ukraine, but it begs the question: "Who in the Verkovna Rada and/or AFU has the authority, power and courage to tell the West enough is enough. Get the f**k out of our country! keep your f**king weapons and cash! Leave us talk to the Kremlin!"

Fantastic discussion gentlemen. 3 key changes within a week: - Russia states peace terms; - Switzerland holds peace meeting without inviting Russia; - Russian submarines show up in Cuba. The west seems keen on moving the doomsday clock beyond zero.

The fundraiser was a total success not a disaster. Zelenskyy raised billions! Calling a war fundraiser a peace summit was a stroke of genius!

The peace conference organizer as a mediator should be recognized by both parties (before the start of the peace conference) and must be neutral, while Switzerland is not recognized by both parties and is not neutral.

Now shows Switzeland no more neutral ground!!!

This peace declaration reads as it has been written by BlackRock

33:08 The Ukrainians should ALWAYS, ALWAYS ensure they have a part in the negotiations. TODAY, NATO and theUS reply and sideline the Ukrainians. Howcan that bode well for Ukraine? The Rada should absolutely REMOVE the "no negotiation" nonsense. If not, I see no future for Ukrainians.

FINALLY! ... We, The People are waking up!

❤️🙏💯👍👌👋🤘 Professor Petro is always amazing (he really knows his stuff)! Thanks for this GREAT Guest Pascal!

The US is not in favor of international law for them or Isreal or their vassals

Good to hear from Petro since he gives the Ukrainians more sovereignty for want of a better term. Ukraine is doing the fighting and should be the one to negotiate with Russia.

"Every cloud has a silver lining" Millions of Ukrainian refugees are voting with their feet, trying to take advantage of the opportunity created by their own government and, on a wave of compassion that is quite understandable in the circumstances, are trying to get out of the tender embrace of Ukrainian democracy. This fleeing stream, filled with love for the homeland, would probably have rushed faster if the authorities in Kiev had not introduced a ban on young, mature and overripe men leaving the country. Today, every Ukrainian is a soldier, which bodes well for the enrichment of the Western European gene pool. Ukraine can simply be partially exported along with women and children. Let Ukrainian women give birth to healthy and beautiful offspring for Germans, German Turks, or Poles, as long as they earn in euros. Representatives of the Kiev authorities stubbornly claim that doing politics with a face glued to a tank track is not only possible, but also greatly enriches the spirit of the nation, hence all the cosmic calculations, primarily concerning Russian losses. While it is difficult to expect Volodymyr Zelensky, who plays the double comedic role of president and father of the nation, to maintain even a semblance of seriousness when the Russian army maneuvers over more than twenty percent of the lands that once belonged to Ukraine, the ministers of Western economies should know some moderation in ridiculousness. The Western narrative revolves around the thesis that the Kremlin's actions have completely failed politically. This bold thought experiment is based on the somewhat exotic assumption that the Russians' goal is to "conquer" Ukraine. If the Kremlin's intention was to quickly annihilate as many Ukrainians as possible and permanently conquer the entire tribal territory, one missile with a low-power nuclear warhead, 5-10 kilotons, or possibly some chemical or biological warhead equivalent with comparable destructive power, would be enough. Knocking off the head of the brown cockroach of Ukrainian nationalism, for example, in the form of the liquidation of Zelensky, is also not an optimal solution. There will certainly be many comedians ready to entertain and scare from the presidential chair in Ukraine, especially since this occupation is as lucrative as it does not require excessive qualifications, which is also proven by thirty years of Polish democracy. As you know, cockroaches are not only able to survive without their heads for quite a long time, but even actively look for mates and copulate. Currently, supplying weapons to the militants of the Kiev cause is like putting out a fire with gasoline and, contrary to appearances, it has a logical justification. Planned burning can prevent the conflagration from spreading further under certain circumstances. It seems that the actions of the Russians are of a preventive nature, which, of course, does not escape the attention of Western European leaders. In politics, its efficient practice always aims at maximizing profits, which sometimes means bearing burdens today to take advantage of the new situation tomorrow. Any nuisance caused by the inflammation in and around Ukraine could bring some benefits to the EU and Russia in the long run. For example, Europe will reduce its dependence on Russian energy resources, and Russia will accelerate its efforts to emancipate itself from shaky Western European contractors, entangled in an anti-Russian military alliance that primarily serves the interests of the U.S. The destruction of Ukraine postpones for an indefinite, but probably long time, all accession divagations beyond the margins of scenarios worth considering, saving the West from the need to tame Ukrainian nationalist denial in the form of pride, worthy of a cannibal boasting of the number of devoured enemies. It is possible that the end of hostilities will not only not stop the wave of emigration, but will even accelerate it, when the surviving men, now chained by the duty of defeating the Russians, want to join the Ukrainian dream far from the borders of the devastated country. In this case, Europe can count on another injection of cheap and grateful labor, whose representatives will only begin to manifest some broader ambitions in the second generation. For the above reasons, haste in striving to curb the Ukrainian death drive is rather inadvisable, and railing against Vladimir Putin's bloody pragmatism should be more often taken under logical control, because in a broader perspective, the EU project needs a Russia satisfied in its needs, and not loud marches in honor of Stepan Bandera's achievements.

always a particular pleasure to listen to Nicolai Petro - thanks!

The disturbing fact is that the swiss political class and the general swiss public is totally detached from reality. Pascal maybe you must provide this with German, French and Italian translations

Thank you for bringing intelligent people who actually know what they are talking about.

Time for UN to move out all its offices in Geneva Switzerland since the country is no longer neutral.

The gentlemen miss a major change to Russian policy, which is the imposition of preconditions to negotiation (Ukraine leaving the annexed provinces and disavowing NATO membership). These are Russia’s first ever preconditions and they are quite significant (although less so than Ukrainian-NATO preconditions). Russia is sending the message that they intend to settle this on the battlefield.

Thanks for your meticulous research and passion for truth. ❤ from Hong Kong…free and for peace!

Bring Abby Joseph Cohen on the show. She changed my life Financially I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Abby Joseph Cohen Services, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market....

The Istanbul agreement might serve as a basis for negotiation but that is about it. Russia has no need to negotiate on any aspects which it has already achieved through force of arms. DPR, LPR, Crimea; all Russia controls or will control. About the only thing that Ukraine could negotiate on is its access to the Black Sea. However, that has a time limit. Should Ukraine not be willing to negotiate and force Russia to end the war through force of arms there will ne no negotiation; Russia will dictate terms, Ukraine will accept. If it doesn't the war will continue.

I think to call it a "disaster" is a bit much. I heard the buffet and the free food were great.

Great guest, thanks. Looking forward to Professor Rossi.

Brilliant interview. 👏 Thank you both.

the usa/nato are very keen on saying 'this is not for us to decide, it is for ukraine to decide;. YEAH RIGHT, the whole world can see what's happening here, so let's NOT pretrend, let's not be so blatant in CONTEMPT. if this is for ukraine to decide, let the people vote. ukraine peoples will in one fell swoop get rid of zelensky, they hate him, they hate his greed that has fed his treachery, and used their sons and fathers to build himself some prime real estate around the world they will vote in a leader whom THEY choose, they will NOT fall for usa NGO's again, they will vote for peace, as they had already done, before the liar zelensky gained his position on a peace platform.. lets NOT pretend that russias SMO was an 'UNPROVOKED' attack. who the hell do usa think they are? we all know too well who the eu 'leaders' are, we have all met these 'types' in our daily lives.. i wouldn't want any one of them ruling the local pet rescue service.

Someone needs to get through to EU and NATO, and US the longer this goes on the nearer we are to a serious threat of nuclear disaster, this whole situation is reliant on this being understood.

Didn't Putin also stipulate denazification, and Zelensky not an acceptable negotiator since his term has expired? And haven't the Reuters statements about 'freezing' the war been debunked or effectively contested?

Support for Ukraine either by politicians or by people on social media has become just virtue signaling

Thank you both.

"It will be decided on the battlefield" (Zwelensky, april 2022). Unfortunately, history lessons following line is: "the victor decides the terms"

it's even worse than that. apparently zero countries actually signed the communique, because all the conference participants were added to the list by default, and needed to opt out not to appear on the document. so the signatories include the supporters and non-dicided combined while the non-signatories are decided non-supporters. so the signatory list keeps shrinking after the conference as countries continue to make their decisions to opt out, it was 80 countries, then 78, now 77.

Thanks: very insightful. Petro's book is in my reading queue: looking forward to it!

Zelensky, Biden, Macron, Sunak, Scholz, Trudeau have to go.

PRESENT IT TO THE PUBLIC??? The public is totally alienated, they don't carel They are more worried with Taylor Swift, the kardashians, and how their butts are showed in Tik-tok

Petro is seriously analysing the situation. He does not ridicule anyone. Lottaz does have a an understandabel - and ultimately acceptable - tendency to ridicule. Really good to have a serious analysis. Thank you Pascal for making that possible.

Because Zenlenksy is constitutionally NO longer the legitimately elected President of Ukraine as his term of office has expired long ago. He doesn't have the authority & mandate to lead & rule Ukraine, hence many influential leaders didn't sign the Joint Statement. 😊

Zelensky has not filed a request to the court to confirm the extension of his presidential powers. The constitution does not state that in the event of martial law, the president's powers are automatically extended. It says that elections are not held. If there is no court confirmation of the extension of powers, then the performance of the presidential duties is transferred to the chairman of the parliament. (In Ukraine, the parliamentary-presidential form of government, i.e. Ukraine is not a presidential republic).

I was looking forward to the summary from Nicolai!

The return of territory or not is a question of the peoples right. UN charta does not allow or prohibit secessions. the vote of the effected people has to be respected. Peoples right goes in first hand and the states in second hand. Special if it is about multi cultural countrys. And a shame to Switzerland to not keep neutrality on that question. I am Swiss myself but i am living in a so called new NATO country.

Danke!

It should be made clear that if there has to be peace, US and Nato have no say in thT at all, and not be allowed to interfere, as they are the culprits in this war That with each Unacceptance of Peace overtures of Russia more territory could be lost and cannot be returned to Ukraine, as they are responsible for prolonging the war

The world is on the verge of abandoning the Petro dollar - good of you to maintain his currency on this channel: always very thoughtful🙏

Thank you for a very rational and objective analysis

A few points here: 1. The belligerents should not be allowed to masquerade as arbiters, that is all NATO/EU states ( the US and Switzerland included). 2. Ukrainian forces cannot be allowed to go rounding up people in the Donbas ,Luhansk and the other Oblasts, they must stay out completely.

The venue for a real negotion including the presence of Russia can take place in Belarus/China or a Non ICJ country, right?

Ukraine territorial integrity WAS addressed in the final document. In particular, the following paragraph states it clearly: "In particular, we reaffirm our commitment to refraining from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, the principles of sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of all states, including Ukraine, within their internationally recognized borders, including territorial waters, and the resolution of disputes through peaceful means as principles of international law." Unfortunately I think the bad news for Ukraine is precisely that Western leaders have decided that they'll sacrifice every Ukrainian left to either weaken Russia as much as possible or even risk a larger scale war. The reason is that it's become an existential matter for them. They blew all opportunities for a peaceful resolution of the conflict and insisted that Ukraine needed to fight to achieve a better position at the negotiating table (Borrell dixit). The simple matter is that they cannot justify the hundreds of thousands of dead ukranians and the destruction of their country if the end result is worse than the very outcome they sabotaged back in Istanbul.

Superb

Thanks!

Oh my beloved Mexico! I'm so proud of you.

They gather so everyone knows what they have to do! Concerning which underground bunkers they are going to be capsuleat in for the next few decades !?.

This swiss meeting is like a piece of theater of the absurd. In italian there is a telling expression, "convitato di pietra", or stone guest. Russia bein excluded from the "peace meeting" was just ridicolous as can it be.

I find it hard to know how to take Nicolai Petro's assessment of Zelenkis support in Ukraine where we have so many young men, presumably supported by their families, either refugees abroad, already committed to the Russians, or hiding out in fear of the draft. It seems to me comming up with any real figures of support for the war in Ukraine would be incredibly difficult.

GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO 👍 🥰

"Piss Simmit"😂

no to the anti-christ peace treaty

Very interesting to watch.

The info who wants to figth is manipulated 😂 50% have left the ship.

One thing you didn't mention is what President Putin didn't talk about, and this is Odessa. Odessa is not on the table for now. Invitation to an asset you still could keep as for today.

Prof. Petro and ... the other professor with an unpronounceable name (starts with M*) are the two political analysts worth listening to 😊

Norwegian news outlets portray Putin´s trip to North-Korea as a "desperate effort to procure more weapons and ammo"...

Professor says that Zel has 60% support,,, if u add in the rebel population in the east and south and Crimea,,, his support is already below 50 percent

❤❤

This many countries attending this conference, same as the UN peace conference, any use?

What about surrounding nations that have recently decided to join NATO - Sweden, Finland, Poland?

The issue is not money as much as it is that Ukraine is running out of fighting men. Soon, very soon, Westerners will have to put boots on the ground, and that we know will not happen since the only fighting the West can do is from 40,000 feet. Russia hopes the French come in; they at least know how to surrender with class.

34:05 why can’t Mr Petro just say “puppet dictator”?

Political Junket

Dang, I left out Africa.

It is a trap not support for Ukrain.

How much the total damage by NATO bombs How much by Russian bombs It's trillions next to millions .

Contradictory to what Russia said about reflecting "realities on the ground", Putin is the first who ignores those realities. He wants Ukraine to give him more territories that currently Russia doesn't control. If we wanted realities, he would go for the currently controlled areas.

If nato get an involved dircetly the dynamics of this war change along with the the targets. Most of the ammo, gear and systems come through poland so automatically thats going to kinzal and zircon missles. Also the US will not put troops on the ground without air superiority and with the lack of robust logistical infastructe thats going to be hard to establish.

That loan to Ukraine will be void later. Financial hardship = thank you for the gift money . Lol

40:50 The tragic of state owned media😥

Radicalism is determined as to how advisories treat each other and the wonderful approach of the then ANC under Mandela always adopted an approach of leaving nobody behind no matter what your crimes where, and would have loved for other forces could have seen this as an opportunity to find ultimate peace not, a weakness. They however chose a path to negate that from happening. Good luck to you all, our efforts, pains, suffering and killings all in vain.

LET US GET IT RIGHT. Switzerland, by order of Ukraine, invited "selectively" 160 countries and/or entities out of 195 countries to the so-called "Peace" conference or otherwise a break away short holiday fiesta. By the way, not all of them are recognised as countries and/or are members of the UN. i.e. Cabo Verde, Timor Leste, Council of Europe, Ecumenical Patriarchate, European Commission, European Parliament, Kosovo ( a place that it unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia the same way the Eastern Republics of Ukraine and Crimea did. Out of 195 UN countries 70 signed the joint declaration imposed by the west. This is 36%. Considering the enormous efforts, propaganda, manipulations and temptations the west has put into this it can only be seen as a huge failure. FYI and those manipulating everything and anything with their unstoppable propaganda.

the global majority sir/ not the third world!!!

After half a million Ukrainian soldiers dead. Putin: "Hey guys, I am ready to stop now." Zelensky: "I am not done collecting checks"

Ami go Home

Ο μόνος στόχος αυτού του χάους στην Ελβετία ήταν να νομιμοποιήσει τον ληγμένο Ζελένσκι. Όλα τα άλλα αρχικά δεν θα μπορούσαν να έχουν καμία σημασία για την επίλυση του μακροχρόνιου προβλήματος της ασφάλειας των ευρωπαϊκών κρατών

Sorry, I left out the people in Afghanistan and Libya in many African countries.

Pretty obvious to me that Zelensky’s 10 point plan was too much, too fast for people and Putin to absorb. They’re so far apart that they had to come up with some reasonable goals initially to get both sides talking

Based on my experience in life...im 64. The humans ego is the biggest strength and yet impediment. Sitting in a position of relative comfort its easy to talk big and make even bigger plans. But once immersed into the problem one tends to become a hell of a lot more pragmatic. Take the occupation of France by Germany in 1945. France had to agree or just get scraped off th map. Sure they had the resistance. Similarly in greece. But if they overstepped they were severely punished by collective punishment of entire village Massacres. So they bided their time until the whole world came to their rescue. What happened to their self esteem...? Sooner or later they had to pick up the soap in the prison shower. Ukraine and indeed Israels problem is the collective world is not coming to their rescue. The only 2 choices is M.A.D or bend over

"The organisers of the meeting in Switzerland are proposing yet another manoeuvre to divert attention, distort the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, misdirect the discussion, and to some extent, reaffirm the legitimacy of the current executive power in Ukraine. Hence, it is expected that the conference in Switzerland will avoid addressing the fundamental issues underlying the current crisis in international security and stability, including the true roots of the Ukrainian conflict. Despite efforts to present a seemingly respectable agenda, these critical matters are unlikely to be discussed". (V.Putin 14/06/2024)

"Peace summit" 😂😂😂 ... where was the demand for Russia to pay"reparations" and also that Putin present himself immediately at the Hague for trial and punishment?

Nelson Mandela ended up being a Lame Duck.

Speaking as not brilliant armchair theorist, I still assert that discussions of this sort are interesting and informative but framed in wrong paradigm a. Starting point is treat comment from any side is to be viewed with complete scepticism b. We can almost completely disregard Ukraine's desires and focus only on Russia's. Russia must justify its human and material losses by showing some real gain. This gain I would say include Kiev, Odessa, Transnistia and even Hungarian border! OK pretty extreme but anything less leaves situation open. c. Would Putin settle for early/simple peace or go for 'total, long term solution'. Left to Putin this seems unlikely but my point is simply this : the question / paradigm for discussion is will Russia (not just Putin) go for THE solution that meets Russia's objective present and future needs. How does this get discussed? That's for the real theorists to answer.

Does any Putin supporter here worry that 80 years after WW2 the largest nuclear country invaded significantly smaller neighbour and annexed its territory? If Russia will be forgiven, then they can continue to do the same with other European countries, including France and Switzerland.

West is boring

Piss Summit. Total NATO failure. 😮😅😂😂

Good talk but guest microphone sounded like it was in a tube….completely different input and booming bass…

If possible, please consider making an interview with Diana Panchenko- oppositional ukrainian journalist.

Mr. Petro, should at least read the ukrainian constitution to be taken seriously. President Putin read the ukrainian constitution as a lawyer and he outlines where the power lies, it is not a guess work, it's the law. I recommend to Mr. Petro to read the ukrainian constitution all of it to understand that zelensky has zero power now and should be kicked out by the unrainian parliament.

well, you did provoke it. you should feel asgamed when you corner ppl like nigel farage or donald trump into telling a deep truth, you insist on denying like when trump called america a bunch of killers... which they are

Very poor narrative from your guest
