G20 Research Group G20 Information CentreNovember 22, 2025, 2:59 PM G20 Summit Resolution: EU Countries
Reject US Peace Plan At today’s G20 meeting in South Africa, participating EU states announced that Germany and other leading supporters of Ukraine reject the US plan for a proposed end to the war in Ukraine in its current form.The initial content of the current draft would provide a basis, “however, further work on the plan is necessary,” according to a statement released after an emergency meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
The “coalition of the willing” adheres to the “principle that borders must not be changed by force,” several European states, as well as Canada and Japan, declared on Saturday on the sidelines of the summit.
The statement continues: “We are also concerned about the proposed restrictions on the Ukrainian armed forces, which would make Ukraine vulnerable to future attacks.”

Vladimir Putin: Yes, of course, there is no secret here. We have had almost no public discussion of it, only in the most general terms, but it is not a secret. President Trump’s peace plan to resolve the situation in Ukraine was discussed before the meeting in Alaska, and during this preliminary discussion, the American side asked us to make certain compromises, to show, as they said, flexibility.
The main point of the meeting in Alaska, the main purpose of the meeting in Alaska, was that during the talks in Anchorage, we confirmed that despite certain complicated issues and difficulties, we nevertheless agree with those proposals and are ready to show the flexibility they asked for.
We have informed all our friends and partners of the Global South in detail on all these issues, including the People’s Republic of China, India, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, South Africa, Brazil, and many other countries, and the CSTO countries, of course. All our friends and partners, and I want to emphasise this, every single one of them supported these possible agreements.
However, we can see that there is a certain pause from the American side following the talks in Alaska, and we understand that this is connected with Ukraine’s de facto rejection of the peace plan proposed by President Trump. I believe this is precisely why a new version has emerged, essentially an updated plan consisting of 28 points.
We have received this text through the existing communication channels with the US administration. I believe it could also serve as a foundation for a final peace settlement. However, it is not being discussed in detail with us. And I can guess why.
The reason, in my opinion, is the same: the US administration has so far been unable to secure consent from the Ukrainian side, as Ukraine is opposed to it. Apparently, Ukraine and its European allies continue to entertain the illusion that they can inflict a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield. I believe this position is not so much the result of insufficient competence – I will not go into that now – but rather stems from an absence of objective information about the actual situation on the ground.
And it appears that neither Ukraine nor Europe realises what this could ultimately lead to. A very recent example is the situation in Kupyansk. As we recall, on November 4 – just two weeks ago – Kiev publicly stated that no more than sixty Russian service members were deployed in the city, and that Ukrainian forces would allegedly completely unblock it within the next few days.
However, I would like to inform you that even at that time – on November 4 – the city of Kupyansk was almost entirely under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Our guys were, as they say, finishing off, clearing out individual blocks and streets. The fate of the city had already been determined.
What does this indicate? Either Kiev’s leadership lacks objective reporting about the developments on the front, or, even if they receive such information, they are unable to assess it objectively. If Kiev refuses to discuss President Trump’s proposals and declines to engage in dialogue, then both they and their European instigators must understand that what happened in Kupyansk will inevitably occur in other key areas of the front. Perhaps not as quickly as we would prefer, but inevitably.
And overall, this development suits us, as it leads to achieving the goals of the special military operation by force, through armed confrontation. However, as I have repeatedly stated, we remain ready for peace negotiations and for resolving issues through peaceful means. However, this, of course, requires substantive and meaningful discussion of all aspects of the proposed plan. We are prepared for this.
Let us now get down to the topics proposed for discussion at today’s Security Council meeting.

I also want to point out that the SMO serves multiple purposes.It is bleeding the West economically
It is demilitarizing NATO
It is helping Russia diversify its economy
It is giving the Russians a superior testbed for new technologies
With the territory and population gained, the SMO has essentially paid for itself thus far. A virtuous cycle
It is consuming time that the West can ill afford to squander, as its AI mania and compounding debts are hydraulically strangulating its societies.

Venezuela isn’t about narco-terrorism. Spare us the fairy tales. Look at the infographic: 303 billion barrels of proven oil, the largest reserves on Earth.
https://nitter.poast.org/IslanderWORLD/status/1989753604018770248#m
DC’s sudden obsession with Venezuela isn’t about narco-terrorism. Spare us the fairy tales. Look at the infographic: 303 billion barrels of proven oil, the largest reserves on Earth. And when Maduro reportedly offered the U.S. access to its natural resources wealth, to ease pressure, Trump bragged about turning it down… and sailed the world’s largest aircraft carrier toward Caracas instead. Gangsterism, but with better branding.
Of course it’s about the oil. Of course it’s about the rare earths. Of course it’s about the last untamed energy bank on the planet — 303B barrels in Venezuela, 267B in Saudi Arabia, 209B in Iran, and 80B in Russia, that awkward constellation of countries that Washington can’t control, intimidate, or buy outright.
The infographic doesn’t lie. It exposes the entire geopolitical script.
The U.S. sits on 74B barrels. Venezuela has four times that, Iran has nearly triple, and every major reserve holder outside Arabia now lives in a strategic ecosystem that increasingly trades with, or leans toward, Russia, China, and BRICS+. That’s the real panic in Washington. Not ideology. Not “democracy.” Not narcoterrorism. Market share.
Apparently, Maduro floated the unthinkable, opening “all Venezuelan oil and gold projects” to the U.S., even reducing dependence on China, Trump admitted he walked away. That was a message:
“We don’t want your permission. We want your submission.”
Washington acts like a debt-ridden fading empire in a hurry. It sends the Gerald R. Ford, a floating city of steel, to “fight drugs,” but somehow parks it near the country with the largest oil reserves on Earth. Because when sanctions can’t break a nation, aircraft carriers are sent to “remind” them who writes the rules.
And yet… The U.S. won’t tolerate a Monroe Doctrine for Russia or China in their own regions, but expects the whole world to respect a Monroe Doctrine for itself. If Moscow or Beijing sailed their biggest carriers to Cuba, Mexico, or Puerto Rico under the excuse of “counter-narcotics,” Washington would treat it as an act of war.
If the U.S. won’t acknowledge spheres of security for others, the global majority will return the favour. Open season, indeed.
And here’s the question that no one in legacy media wants to ask:
Is it worth another humiliating defeat?
What exactly are the last four U.S. imperial ventures known for?
•Iraq: Trillions spent, no victory.
•Afghanistan: 18-year occupation ending in a runway evacuation.
•Syria: A failed regime-change war, rescued only by supporting their favourite franchise, Al-Qaeda.
•Ukraine: The biggest geopolitical boomerang and humiliation in modern history, strengthening Russia economically, militarily, diplomatically, while draining NATO dry.No need to address the humiliation of Vietnam. The empire is running on IOUs and hubris.
Venezuela, with its militias, jungle terrain, hardened military, and alliances with Russia, Iran, and China, would not be “a quick operation.” It could become another graveyard for imperial fantasies.
If the motivation were truly humanitarian, it would have snapped up Maduro’s offer to hand over massive oil concessions. Instead, it preferred pressure over prosperity, force over negotiation, coercion over coexistence.
Oil, lithium, rare earths, the entire extractive basket, that’s the real story.
And every time the U.S. tries to tighten control over the hemisphere, the multipolar world tightens its coordination.
The question isn’t whether Washington can take Venezuela. The question is whether it can survive the consequences of trying.
So go ahead, turn the Caribbean into another graveyard of hubris. Send your trillion-dollar toys to menace a country sitting on a mountain of oil you’ll never truly control.
But remember: the last empires didn’t fall from invasion, they collapsed from arrogance, rot, and the lies they told themselves. And when this one breaks, no one will weep. They’ll only ask why it took so damn long.
“If you break international law to rob Moscow, you break us, and we will drag you into the dock with us.”
Euroclear
https://nitter.poast.org/IslanderWORLD/status/1989810532946182423#m
The greatest irony in modern finance? The EU is so desperate to steal Russia’s sovereign assets that its own custodian — Euroclear, is now warning it may sue Brussels if they try it. When your vault threatens to drag you into court for breaking the law, you no longer have a financial order, you have a cartel panicking under its own lies.
Euroclear, the Belgian securities giant holding roughly €185–200 billion in Russian sovereign reserves, has quietly delivered the EU a message sharper than any Kremlin statement: If you force us to hand over frozen Russian central bank assets for your €140 billion Ukraine scheme, you’re exposing us to massive legal liability and we will take you to court.
This isn’t a sideshow. Euroclear is the core of the EU’s financial plumbing. It’s where states, banks, institutions, pension funds, and sovereign wealth vehicles settle their transactions. It’s the reason Brussels pretends to be a safe custodian of global capital.
And now? The custodian is telling the political class, “If you break international law to rob Moscow, you break us, and we will drag you into the dock with us.”
Euroclear’s fear is justified. Under the 1989 Belgium–Russia Bilateral Investment Treaty, unlawful expropriation of Russian sovereign property exposes Belgium (and by extension the EU) to massive damages. Add to that customary international law, the UN Convention on Jurisdictional Immunities of States and Their Property, and the legal principle of sovereign asset inviolability, and the EU has nearly zero legal ground to seize anything.
That’s why Euroclear’s lawyers reportedly told Belgian officials they could face a legal hurricane:
•Russia sues Belgium for expropriation
•Euroclear sues the EU for forcing unlawful actions
•Third‑country depositors pull funds, fearing Brussels can no longer be trustedThis is why Belgium’s Prime Minister Bart De Wever is blocking the plan, he’s not protecting Russia, he’s protecting Belgium from the EU. He knows that if Brussels goes through with this heist, the first court case won’t be in Moscow. It will be in Brussels — Euroclear v. EC.
And that’s before Russia responds economically. Because once you cross this line, every non‑Western country from China, India, Gulf states, ASEAN, Africa, Latin America, will begin loudly unloading Euroclear exposure. Nobody will keep reserves in a jurisdiction willing to weaponize other people’s money.
That is how the post‑WWII financial order dies, not with tanks, but with a lawsuit and a stampede of capital fleeing the eurozone.
Which is why the EU is in total panic mode.
Ukraine’s “Ukraine Facility” is essentially empty, only €18 billion remains. Kiev needs €60 billion more just to survive 2026–27, those gold toilets don’t pay for themselves. The U.S. is retrenching under Trump, IMF support depends on the EU loan, and national budgets are already imploding.So Brussels is left with one play… Steal Russia’s sovereign reserves and pray the courts look the other way.
But Euroclear just declared:
“If you make us commit the theft, we won’t protect you when the lawyers come.”This is the moment the entire Global Majority has been waiting for, that is the West proving, in broad daylight, that it cannot be trusted with sovereign deposits.
A multipolar financial system doesn’t need a manifesto. It only needs to point at Brussels and say: “This is why we no longer keep our money there.”The EU thought it could rewrite international law by royal decree. Instead, it has cornered itself into a showdown with its own financial backbone. If the EU crosses this line, it won’t just lose a court case, it will lose the trust of the world, the credibility of the euro, and it’s fiat Ponzi.
So now Euroclear must sue not to defend Russia, but to save Europe from a precedent that would torch five centuries of financial credibility. And when the lawsuits come, and the dust settles, the West won’t just be broke, it’ll be radioactive to capital.

Destruction of Canadian-Made Military Vehicles Near Kupyansk
The FPV drone unit of the Western military grouping has successfully destroyed a Canadian-made “Senator” armored vehicle and several other pieces of Ukrainian military equipment near Kupyansk. Soldiers from the unmanned systems divisions of the 68th motorized rifle division are actively targeting any enemy vehicles attempting to break through to encircled Ukrainian units. Footage captured by objective control shows direct hits from FPV drones, resulting in the destruction of the “Senator” armored vehicle and multiple pickups carrying Ukrainian fighters. Utilizing kamikaze drones, Russian servicemen effectively disrupt enemy rotations and supply lines.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense is testing fabrics for a revolutionary new piece of equipment: an anti-thermal imaging cape (poncho). This innovative garment is designed to absorb infrared radiation, making soldiers virtually invisible to enemy night vision and thermal imaging devices.Since the ceasefire took effect one month ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622.
