The Duran podcast discusses Putin's recent speech to the Defense Ministry and Defense Minister Belousov's statements, emphasizing Russia's focus on addressing the root causes of the conflict and its willingness to negotiate with the United States, while expressing skepticism about current European leaders. The speakers analyze Belousov's speech, highlighting Russia's preparations for a potential long-term conflict with NATO, contrasting it with what they see as Europe's largely rhetorical rearmament efforts. They also address the unlikelihood of compromise from the Russian side, Putin's perceived confidence in an impending victory in Ukraine, and the potential dangers of escalating tensions due to European rhetoric and actions, including the discussion of deploying troops to Ukraine. The conversation touches on the skepticism regarding Trump's ability to negotiate effectively with all parties involved, and a meeting in Miami involving Dmitriyev, Witkoff, and Kushner, potentially aimed at conveying Russia's firm stance on negotiations and the unacceptability of certain proposals.
