"You Want a Ceasefire, and I Want Your Death." Threatens Propagandist Solovyov. - Silicon Curtain

Edition No145 | 23-05-2025 - Julia Davis has penned a superb article, published on CEPA’s website. She describes the Kremlin’s propagandists as being in ebullient mood as they anticipate the disengagement of the US from mediating in the Ukraine conflict.

This is what they wanted all along, and Trump is threatening to give them exactly what they were craving. Normalization on the world stage, and absolute impunity to continue the war.
Don’t look to the sterile public statements and press releases to understand the mind and mood of the Kremlin, states Julia Davis, but listen to its highly paid propagandists in the state-controlled TV studios. They are regularly briefed by the Kremlin’s handlers on what they can and can’t say, and the scripted narratives of TV discussions are highly choreographed to show the regime’s views and aims, and where any internal doubts exist, the debate traces the outlines and boundaries of the potential directions under discussion.

The May 19th phone conversation between Putin and Trump about a possible peace deal in Ukraine is a classic case in point. The US administration gave a positive, if distant view of a potential peace negotiation. Holding out a whisp of hope for future renewal of dialogue. The Russian take, on the other hand, was the same as it has always been. Russian state television repeatedly stated that Moscow has no interest in a ceasefire or peace — unless it amounts to Ukraine’s full and unconditional capitulation. No change in policy, or actions supporting it.
