Peace Negotiations Between the US, Russia and Ukraine Enter Most Critical Phase – Russia and US Release Full Official Statements Following Monday’s Talks

Published

on

If this had not been attempted by Donald J. Trump, one could say the peace process in Ukraine would have been impossible to achieve.

Yesterday saw the US and Russian delegations meet in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for technical-level talks on a Ukraine settlement.

The American delegation included Michael Anton, the policy planning director under Secretary of State Marco Rubio, plus aides to the special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg and national security adviser Michael Waltz.

The Russians sent Grigory Karasin, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs and Sergey Beseda, an advisor to the head of the Federal Security Service (FSB).

The negotiations in Riyadh lasted over 12 hours and focused mainly on the resumption of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which was in effect in 2022-2023 to set up safe corridors for grain export from Ukrainian ports.

Sergey Beseda’s participation as a Russian negotiator was a red flag for Ukraine, especially for the Ukrainian special services.

Russian and US delegations prepared a text for a joint communique following the talks in Riyadh, but in the end it was not published over the objections of Ukraine.

The main sticking issue is well known: Moscow demands control over the entire territory of four regions that voted in a referendum to be part or Russia – Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhie and Kherson – even the parts yet to be conquered.

US President Donald J. Trump said yesterday that territory, lines of demarcation, and power plant ownership were among the issues on the table.

While many in the hating USAID-media describe the meetings as a failure, it’s important to remember that these are technical talks, not expected to lead to major breakthroughs, and also: now the negotiation has so advanced that the real ‘impossible’ issues are on the table – that’s real progress.

The White House published the Outcomes of the United States and Ukraine Expert Groups On the Black Sea in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia/March 23-25, 2025

“In line with presidential-level discussions between President Donald J. Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the United States facilitated bilateral technical-level talks with the Ukrainian delegation March 23-25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Following those discussions:

The United States and Ukraine have agreed to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea.

The United States and Ukraine agreed that the United States remains committed to helping achieve the exchange of prisoners of war, the release of civilian detainees, and the return of forcibly transferred Ukrainian children.

The United States and Ukraine agreed to develop measures for implementing President Trump’s and President Zelenskyy’s agreement to ban strikes against energy facilities of Russia and Ukraine.

The United States and Ukraine welcome the good offices of third countries with a view toward supporting the implementation of the energy and maritime agreements.

The United States and Ukraine will continue working toward achieving a durable and lasting peace.

The United States reiterated to both sides President Donald J. Trump’s imperative that the killing on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine conflict must stop, as the necessary step toward achieving an enduring peace settlement. To that end, the United States will continue facilitating negotiations between both sides to achieve a peaceful resolution, in line with the agreements made in Riyadh.

The United States expresses gratitude to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his leadership and hospitality in once again facilitating these important discussions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

RFK Jr. Drops a Mega Bombshell on mRNA Vaccine Technology (VIDEO)

Published

on

By

This article originally appeared on vigilantfox.com and was republished with permission.

In a move that many were hoping for but were not expecting, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy just announced that BARDA will be CANCELING 22 mRNA vaccine development contracts, saving taxpayers about $500 million in the process.

This move delivered a major blow to the biomedical industrial complex, which was hoping to make an mRNA vaccine for just about every disease imaginable.


https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foxs-video-aug-5-2025-veed-3.mp4

The reason for this move is grounded in what happened during the COVID debacle, which Kennedy explained in detail.

First, he shared how “mRNA vaccines don’t perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract.”

“mRNA only codes for a small part of the viral proteins, usually a single antigen. One mutation, and the vaccine becomes INEFFECTIVE,” Kennedy said.

The next revelation was a big surprise.

Kennedy confirmed that the COVID shots could have CAUSED the mutations and EXTENDED the pandemic altogether.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foxs-video-aug-5-2025-veed-3.mp4

He explained:

“The [mRNA] vaccine [platform] paradoxically encourages new mutations and can actually prolong pandemics. As the virus constantly mutates to escape the protective effects of the vaccine, millions of people, maybe even you or someone you know, caught the Omicron variant despite being vaccinated. That’s because a single mutation can make mRNA vaccines ineffective.”

Kennedy’s comments echo what vaccinologist Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche and the “conspiracy theorists” have been saying for the better part of four years now.

He warned, “You are generating a breeding ground for even more infectious variants to replicate” when you vaccinate DURING a pandemic.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/video_2025-08-05_18-40-51.mp4

With the conclusion that mRNA shots are ineffective against respiratory viruses, prolong pandemics, and encourage mutations, Kennedy declared:

mRNA technology poses MORE risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses.”

As such, Kennedy announced that BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority) will be CANCELING 22 mRNA vaccine contracts, saving taxpayers “just under $500 million” in the process.

He clarified that this isn’t a complete indictment of mRNA technology across the board, but when it comes to respiratory diseases, he believes it offers no benefit to humanity.

“That’s why we’re moving beyond the limitations of mRNA for respiratory viruses and investing in better solutions,” Kennedy said.

Thanks for reading! I hope this brought you the good news you needed today.

I was banned from Twitter 1.0 three times for sharing information that Kennedy just confirmed.

Like many others, I was labeled a “conspiracy theorist.” Turns out, we were right all along.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Unloads on the GOP, H1B Immigration, Foreign Aid to Ukraine, Israel

Published

By

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly criticized President Donald Trump over immigration policy and foreign aid.

Greene responded to Trump’s tariff announcement on India by urging an end to H1-B visas that she claims replace American jobs. Greene also called for stopping funding and weapons to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

Greene stated that continued U.S. funding for Kiev betrays the majority of Americans who voted to end foreign wars.

She highlighted Trump’s 2024 election win as a mandate against such involvement. The congresswoman warned that supporting these policies risks losing younger voters permanently.

On the Israel-Gaza conflict, Greene described Israel’s actions as a “genocide” and condemned the starvation in Gaza. She became the first Republican lawmaker to use this term publicly.

Greene emphasized that innocent Palestinian lives, including children and Christians, should not be devalued compared to Israeli ones.

Greene expressed surprise that more conservative colleagues have not spoken out against U.S. support for Israel’s offensive operations.

She argued that funding such wars contradicts a biblical mandate and America’s interests.

The congresswoman clarified her support for Israel’s existence while opposing involvement in its conflicts.

Trump has acknowledged the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, noting visible starvation among children despite Netanyahu’s denials.

He mentioned his wife Melania’s distress over images from the region. This marks a softening in Trump’s stance amid ongoing hostilities nearing two years.

Greene’s positions reflect broader shifts in U.S. opinion, with approval of Israel’s Gaza actions dropping to 32 percent per Gallup polls.

Republicans under 50 now view Israel more negatively than positively, according to Pew surveys.

Figures like Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson have also criticized Netanyahu’s government.

The congresswoman has voiced growing frustration with the Republican Party’s direction. She questioned whether the GOP is leaving her or if she no longer relates to it.

Greene stated she does not want involvement in the party’s current course on foreign policy and spending.

3Greene warned Trump about delivering on promises like Epstein file transparency to retain base support. She referenced past divergences, including on AI policy in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” Despite these splits, Greene affirmed her commitment to America First principles.

Greene suggested her political future may not rely on party establishment backing. She expressed confidence in winning support from Georgia voters independently. However, the congresswoman indicated no plans for higher office in 2026.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Files Emergency Petition with Supreme Court to REMOVE Democrat Ringleader Who Fled State to Obstruct Redistricting Vote

Published

State Rep. Gene Wu

Governor Greg Abbott has officially filed an emergency writ of quo warranto with the Texas Supreme Court, seeking the removal of far-left Democrat State Representative Gene Wu from office for abandoning his constitutional duties and fleeing the state in a premeditated scheme to block a GOP-led vote.

According to the explosive 70-page filing, Rep. Wu—Chair of the Texas House Democratic Caucus—was the ringleader of a carefully orchestrated plan that saw dozens of Democrat lawmakers hop aboard a 76-seat private jet, funded in part by Beto O’Rourke’s political action committee, to escape to Chicago rather than perform their duty during a constitutionally mandated special legislative session.

The petition alleges that Wu and his fellow Democrats deliberately broke quorum to sabotage redistricting reforms and kill flood relief, property tax relief, and school reform legislation, critical priorities for Texans.

“If representatives are free not to show up whenever they choose, then Texans simply do not have a representative government,” the petition reads.

“In fact, they don’t have a functioning government at all. This Court should make clear that a legislator who does not wish to perform his duties will be stripped of them.”

The petition reveals that Wu not only left the state, but actively solicited donations online to help cover fines and expenses—funding his absence with cash from liberal donors.

The document accuses him of potentially violating Texas bribery laws and the state constitution, citing provisions that require forfeiture of office if an official accepts anything of value to withhold their vote.

Wu posted pictures boarding the jet on X, while simultaneously asking followers to “Support Texas House Democrats as we deny quorum.” One image was immediately followed by a donation link.

According to the petition, Beto O’Rourke’s PAC offered to cover the cost of the trip and committed all future donations to lawmakers who fled the state.

The petition concludes:

This case is not a political dispute; it is a constitutional crisis. The current Special Session is set to expire in just two weeks. But Wu apparently has no intention of returning. Instead, he claims the “special session is over.” Permitting him to continue occupying his office so that he can abdicate the duties of that office will only enable future legislators to grind state government to a halt.

Perhaps these absent members expect—someday—to return to Texas and be hailed as heroes who “fought” by fleeing. But in the meantime, they are preventing the Texas Legislature, duly called by the Governor, from addressing the acute needs of Texans across the State.

Every day, their continued absence wastes taxpayer dollars and imperils urgent policy needs, ranging from improved flood response tools to the judicial omnibus bill governing the day-to-day workings of the state courts.

And, in the future, whenever the Governor adds an item on the special session agenda that they find offensive, they may feel empowered to once again flee the State and deny the Article III, Section 5 constitutional mandate. Absent quo warranto, there is no end in sight to this piracy.

The Constitution nowhere envisions Texans signing onto that kind of suicide pact. Legislators may, of course, disagree on specific pieces of legislation.

But our Constitution conceives of deliberation and debate as the official way to process official disagreements. That is why, in addition to laying out general principles for the order of business, the Constitution imposes mandatory duties on members to ensure they will be present to conduct business.

Representative government cannot function if elected officials may monetize their absence, abandon their obligations, and paralyze the Legislature without consequence.

The writ of quo warranto exists precisely to remedy such abuses. And there is still time for this Court to use it here. Ordering Wu’s removal from office would ensure that public office remains a trust exercised in good faith, as opposed to a platform for private gain and governmental sabotage.

It could also begin to make it easier to establish a quorum while the Special Session is still under way. Above all, however, it promises to restrain future abuses. Refusing to address the problem now may simply invite it to recur, always in the final days of a session.

The integrity of Texas’s constitutional order demands this Court’s urgent intervention, and Texas voters are counting on it.
