Kremlin Says Putin a Step Closer to Joining Trump's 'Board of Peace'

Russia is seeking clarification on an invitation for Vladimir Putin to join Donald Trump's "board of peace," which aims to oversee a ceasefire in Gaza. The move has raised eyebrows given the ongoing war in Ukraine, where hundreds of thousands have been killed and Russian troops have carried out atrocities against civilians.

A letter from the Kremlin revealed that Russia had received an invitation from the US to participate in the board, which includes prominent leaders like former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The board's proposed agenda, dubbed a "charter," would focus on promoting stability and governance in regions affected by conflict.

However, the inclusion of Putin, who has repeatedly rejected ceasefire proposals along Ukrainian frontlines, has sparked controversy. French officials have stated that they will decline membership due to the board's broader aspirations, which extend beyond the Gaza situation.

Canada, Hungary, Vietnam, and Belarus have so far confirmed their acceptance of the invitation. The Kremlin believes that including Putin in this international body would add weight to his favor with Trump on the Ukraine conflict. Nevertheless, a formal response from Russia has not been announced yet.

It remains uncertain whether those meetings involving Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's special envoy, will discuss the board of peace or focus solely on other issues during their attendance at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

I think it's weird that the US is inviting Putin to this "board of peace" thingy . I mean, Russia has been super aggressive in Ukraine and it doesn't seem like they're exactly known for being all peaceful and stuff . And what's with the fact that Trump invited him in the first place? Did he not know about the whole war thing? Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is just some fancy PR move to make Russia look more legit on the world stage . But honestly, if Putin shows up and they're all like "oh yeah, we're so peaceful now", I'll believe it when I see it .

I'm having mixed feelings about this news to be honest... On one hand, it's good to see world leaders trying to find common ground and promote peace, especially in a place like Gaza where things have been really dire for ages. But on the other hand, given what's going on in Ukraine right now, it seems kinda ironic that Putin is being invited to join this "board of peace" when he's basically fueling more conflict with his country's actions.

I think we need to take a closer look at Putin's track record before considering him for any kind of leadership role in promoting peace. I mean, he's not exactly known for backing down from a fight...

This whole thing just doesn't add up, you know? Like, Russia is waging war in Ukraine and then they're like "oh yeah, let's join this 'board of peace' to help with Gaza"? It's all very convenient for Putin, I guess. And what's with the timing? The board was announced just as tensions between Russia and the West are rising again. I'm not sure how serious this thing is supposed to be, but it does make you wonder if Trump is using this as some kind of PR stunt to ease his image on foreign policy issues. Anyway, it's pretty clear that Putin is just trying to use this as a way to get more support for him in Ukraine... not exactly the most reassuring development for the region

idk about this "board of peace" thingy... sounds like a legit effort to promote stability but honestly, given Russia's involvement in Ukraine and all that's been happening over there, i'm kinda skeptical about Putin joining this group . i mean, he's already shown his hand on the Ukrainian frontlines, and now you're asking him to be part of something that's supposed to promote peace? it just doesn't add up for me.

and what's with the US being so quick to invite Russia to join this board after all the atrocities they've committed in Ukraine? seems like a bit of a power play to me... . i guess only time will tell if this "board of peace" thing actually does what it says it'll do or just becomes another tool for Putin's ego to expand his influence.

anyway, gotta keep an eye on how this whole thing unfolds – it's gonna be interesting to see if Canada, Hungary, Vietnam, and Belarus can actually make a difference with their participation .

 

[Wild Worm]

I'm not sure how I feel about this one ... On one hand, it's kinda cool that Russia is being invited to join this "board of peace" thingy, especially since they've been going through a lot of stuff with Ukraine and Gaza. It's definitely a step in the right direction for diplomacy.

But on the other hand, Putin has a pretty questionable track record when it comes to ceasefire agreements... I mean, he's rejected proposals left and right, and we all know how that's played out in Ukraine . And now he's being invited to join this group? It just doesn't add up, you know?

And what's with the French officials saying they're gonna decline membership? That's fair, I guess... Can't say I blame 'em for being cautious . I hope Russia does some serious thinking before making a decision on this one...

 

[Underwater Desert Comp]

I'm not buying this "Board of Peace" thingy. It sounds like a total PR stunt to me . I mean, come on, Putin's been bombing Ukraine left and right, and now he's being invited to join some peace committee? Give me a break! And what's with Trump wanting him to be part of it? Is that supposed to make everything okay? Newsflash: it's not. The fact that Russia is just playing coy about their intentions, saying they need clarification on the invitation, makes me think they're just trying to muddy the waters .

And let's be real, who does Trump even think he's fooling with this "Board of Peace" thing? Tony Blair and Marco Rubio are all well and good, but Putin's track record speaks for itself. It's not like he's exactly known for his commitment to peace and stability... Anyway, I'm glad some countries are smart enough to decline membership, like France . Let's see what actually comes of this "Board of Peace" before we get our hopes up .

 

[Luigi's Kabuki Coun]

I'm not sure what to make of this news . On one hand, it's cool that some countries are coming together to promote peace and stability, especially when it comes to regions like Gaza that need some serious help. But on the other hand, I mean... Vladimir Putin? He's been involved in so much conflict and human rights issues in Ukraine, you can't just invite him to join a "board of peace" without expecting some pushback . And what exactly does this board even do again? It feels like there might be more going on here than meets the eye. Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on how Russia responds and what other countries decide to do about it... fingers crossed for peace!

 

[Obedi]

Idk man... I'm all for world peace and stuff, but come on! We can't just ignore Russia's involvement in Ukraine, you know? It's a total mess over there. And now Putin is being invited to join some "board of peace" thingy? That's like, totally not cool. I mean, what if he's just gonna use it as an excuse to do more harm in Ukraine?

On the other hand, I guess it's kinda flattering that Trump thinks Putin would be a good fit for this "board of peace". But, at the same time, can we really trust Russia after all they've done? It's like, one step forward and two steps back.

I don't know, maybe I'm just being too cautious, but I think this whole thing is a bit of a red flag. What if it's just another way for Trump to get Russia on his side without actually doing anything to help the situation? It's like, we need to be careful not to get caught up in all this politics and drama...

 

[Xerothermic]

Like, can you even imagine? Putin joining some kinda "board of peace" with Trump and Tony Blair?! It just seems like a total PR stunt to me. I mean, we're still dealing with atrocities in Ukraine and now we're supposed to trust Russia's commitment to peace? It's all about politics and optics. And what's with the board's "charter" agenda that focuses on promoting stability and governance? Sounds like they want to whitewash Putin's track record on human rights. The fact that some European countries are already declining membership just goes to show how ridiculous this whole thing is. Canada, Hungary, Vietnam, and Belarus can keep their "peace" boards, I'll take a hard pass.

 

[Angry Anaconda]

I'm still thinking about that weird weather we had last summer ️... remember how it was like a perpetual spring in some parts of the UK? Anyway, speaking of global events, I think it's kinda interesting that the US is trying to get more countries involved in this "board of peace" thing. It's almost like they're trying to create a new international order or something . But what's up with Trump's obsession with Putin, though? It feels like there's still so much unresolved stuff between them... and then you gotta add the whole Ukraine situation on top of it all . I mean, can't we just have world peace already?!

 

[Bored]

I don't think this is a good idea at all . I mean, Trump's "board of peace" sounds like it's meant to gloss over some major problems, and having Putin on board just makes me more skeptical about its actual effectiveness . Ukraine is still dealing with some heavy stuff, and we shouldn't just brush it under the rug. And what exactly do they plan to achieve by getting all these leaders together? A vague "charter" doesn't sound like a concrete plan to me ...

 

[Blue Buzzard]

I'm so confused about this whole thing. It seems like Trump is trying to reach out to Russia again but it's a bit too late considering what's happening in Ukraine . I mean, who invites Putin to join some "board of peace" when he's been rejecting ceasefire proposals left and right? And now French officials are saying no to the board because of how it's being used to influence Trump's views on Ukraine? It just seems like a lot of people are trying to get involved in this conflict without actually doing anything about it .

 

[Uptight Unicorn]

Trump's 'Board of Peace' sounds like a bunch of PR . Inviting Putin to join after he's been all about war in Ukraine? Come on, dude! The guy is trying to legitimize atrocities, not promote peace . And who exactly makes this board? Some self-appointed "prominent leaders" ? Give me a break, it's just another way for Trump to spin his own failures .

 

[Apathetic Cowboy Deluxe]

omg like whoa i cant even believe this russia is seeking clarification on joining trump's board of peace lol what a joke tbh i mean dont get me wrong ppl dying in ukraine and all but come on Putin was like literally burning bridges everywhere why would anyone trust him with the "board of peace" charter? the french are right to decline membership idk how serious they think this whole thing is

 

[Nice Night]

Come on , what's going on here? Russia joins this "board of peace" with Trump and then we expect them to just magically resolve Ukraine and Gaza? Like, hello, Russian troops have been brutalizing civilians for months! You can't seriously think Putin is just going to roll over and play nice. And what about all the atrocities they've committed in Ukraine? Are we just gonna sweep that under the rug because Trump wants to make a "peace" deal with him? This whole thing reeks of Trump's ego trip more than actual conflict resolution. And what's next, Putin on some international peacekeeping committee or something? Please.

 

[Scandinav]

I'm not sure about this... The Kremlin saying Putin is a step closer to joining Trump's 'board of peace' seems weird considering Russia's ongoing actions in Ukraine . I mean, hundreds of thousands dead and atrocities committed against civilians? It doesn't exactly scream 'peace'. And now they're trying to join a board that aims to oversee ceasefire talks in Gaza? It just doesn't add up.

And what's with the broader aspirations of this board extending beyond the Gaza situation? That sounds like a pretty big stretch. I'm not saying Putin is all bad, but his track record on conflict resolution isn't exactly spotless .

Canada and Hungary have already jumped on board (literally), but France has declined membership due to concerns about Putin's involvement. And Belarus... well, they're just sort of there . It's like nobody really knows what this board is trying to achieve or what the endgame is.

I'm all for promoting stability and governance in regions affected by conflict, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. This whole thing feels like a PR stunt to me .

 

[Heavy Chicken Que]

I'm kinda surprised that Trump would even consider inviting Putin to be part of his "board of peace". Like, isn't that just a fancy way of saying you're trying to legitimize some pretty shady stuff? And honestly, can we talk about how the fact that other countries are jumping at the chance to join this thing without even getting all the details is kinda concerning? It feels like Russia's just using it as an excuse to get Trump's attention on Ukraine, but not really showing any genuine interest in actually working towards peace.

 

[Street Funk of the Th]

I'm all for leaders coming together to find peaceful solutions but this whole "board of peace" thing is a bit concerning . I mean, Russia's still involved in that war in Ukraine and Putin's shown no intention of backing down . And now, Trump wants him on some sort of international committee? It's like, have you seen the state of things in Ukraine lately? Hundreds of thousands killed, innocent civilians caught in the crossfire... I just don't think this is a good idea .

And what really gets my goat is that Trudeau and the rest are already on board with it without even questioning the politics . Can we at least have some basic human rights talk before we start making deals? It's just not sitting well with me

 

[Ho-Hum Rollerball]

this is wild - the US is inviting a war criminal to join a 'board of peace' that's supposed to help with ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, and Russia wants to be part of it too? meanwhile hundreds of thousands are getting killed in Ukraine and we're supposed to just forget about all that? the fact that some countries like France are already saying no makes sense - they're not buying into this 'peace' thing if Putin's gonna show up and make a mockery of it
