Ukrainian and Russian officials will meet for talks at the Belarusian border. 

The talks, which are the first scheduled since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began, will be held without preconditions. 

“We agreed that the Ukrainian delegation would meet with the Russian delegation without preconditions on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, near the Pripyat River,” the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement on Sunday. 

No dates or times have been established for the meeting amidst the ongoing conflicts across Ukraine.

Putin indicated that he was ready for “talks” as early as Friday, according to the Kremlin. Zelensky had initially resisted meeting in Belarus due to the country’s pro-Moscow relationship, and had stated in an address that he would prefer to meet at other locations, such as Warsaw, Bratislava, Istanbul, Budapest or Baku. 

“Any other city in a country from whose territory missiles do not fly would suit us,” Zelensky emphasized. 

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett proposed in a phone call with Putin to act as a mediator between the two nations, according to a readout released by the Kremlin. Zelensky had proposed the idea to Bennett on Friday, reported The Times of Israel, due to Israel’s relationship with both nations. It is unclear if the assistance will be approved. 

US officials are skeptical of Russia’s intentions. “Now we see Moscow suggesting that diplomacy take place at the barrel of a gun, or as Moscow’s rockets, mortars, artillery target the Ukrainian people,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said at a Friday briefing. “This is not real diplomacy. Those are not the conditions for real diplomacy.” Price was responding to statements from the Kremlin claiming that Putin was “ready” for talks with Zelensky. 

The confirmed offer of meeting to discuss peace arises shortly after Putin ordered his nuclear troops to begin preparing in a video address, implying the increased risk of nuclear weapon use. SOURCE

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

MARANATHA!

Germany will provide anti-tank weapons and surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced Saturday.

“The Russian attack marks a turning point. It is our duty to do our best to help Ukraine defend against the invading army of Putin. That’s why we’re supplying 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger missiles to our friends in Ukraine,” he wrote in a Twitter post.

This is a major reversal of Berlin’s longstanding policy of banning weapon exports to battle zones.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed Germany’s change of stance: “Keep it up, Chancellor Olaf Scholz! Anti-war coalition in action!”

Berlin Saturday authorized NATO partners the Netherlands and Estonia to deliver German-made weapons to Ukraine.

The batch of weapons included 400 RPGs from the Netherlands and old GDR howitzers from Estonia.

Germany has a long-standing policy of not exporting weapons to war zones, rooted partly in its bloody 20th-century history and resulting pacifism. Countries aiming to pass on German weapons exports need to apply for approval in Berlin first.

Scholz had repeatedly referred to this policy in recent weeks when refusing to deliver weapons to Ukraine.

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine is entering the third day, fighting broke out at the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital city Kyiv, which is regarded as the primary goal of the Russian forces.

U.S. and UK officials said the Russian forces were about 18 miles, or 30 kilometers, from the city center.

The speed of the advance has been slowed “likely as a result of acute logistical difficulties and strong Ukrainian resistance”, the UK’s Ministry of Defense said.

However, a Pentagon official warned the situation may change rapidly.

“It’s a battlefield and events on the battlefield are dynamic and they can change very, very quickly,” the official said.

President Joe Biden authorized an additional $350 million in military assistance from Pentagon inventories, including anti-armor, small arms, various munitions, body armor, and related equipment. The White House also reportedly asked Congress to provide $6.4 billion in extra funds to assist Ukraine.

The UK is sending defensive military aid to Ukraine and said it trained 22,000 Ukrainian troops.

More than 100,000 Russian troops have entered Ukraine, Zelensky said in a Twitter post.

He refused to leave Kyiv, rebuffing a U.S. offer of evacuation and urging Ukrainians to fight.

“We will not lay down our weapons. We will defend our country. Our weapons are our strength. This is our land. Our country. Our children. We will protect all of them,” Zelensky said in a video posted to social media.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense urged the citizens to do whatever they can to slow down the Russians, including removing signs with numbers and names of the streets, cities, and villages in their regions.

“Let’s do everything possible to get rid of Russian occupiers from Ukraine as soon as possible,” the ministry wrote in a Twitter post. Source

Brethren – I am personally very happy to read that Ukraine is much stronger than anyone suspected. All of my family came to the U.S. in 1903 from Kiev, Ukraine – great grandparents from both sides.

I just think that it is important that we understand that there is much behind the scenes that we will never know.

This is political theater and the Globalists are calling the shots. Putin is playing his part as well. This is why it is crucial that we as followers of Christ keep our eyes on Him and study His Word DAILY to be kept safe from deception.

I have to wonder if the war in Ukraine is setting us up for World War III. Klaus Schwab and his cronies are bound and determined to see the NWO ushered in before they die.

KEEP LOOKING UP!
