NEW: Prominent voices within the Russian information space continue to emphasize that Russian President Vladimir Putin is uninterested in a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine that results in anything less than total Ukrainian capitulation.
Kremlin-affiliated Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev told the Financial Times that Putin will likely reject any plan for peace negotiations that US President-elect Donald Trump puts forth unless the plan accounts for Russia's "security concerns."
Malofeev claimed that the Kremlin will only consider peace negotiations with the new administration if Trump reverses the US policy allowing Ukraine to use Western-provided long-range weapons to strike into Russia; "removes" Ukrainian President Zelensky from office...and agrees to meet w/Putin to discuss the situation in Ukraine, the future of European security, the conflict in the Middle East, and Russia's growing alliance w/China.
Putin may intend to use such a meeting to extract US policy concessions on these issues from Trump.
Malofeev's interview further indicates that the Kremlin is not interested in good faith negotiations, no matter who mediates such talks.
What's going on in Ukraine?

Why does the pretence continue from some quarters that meaningful and sincere negotiations are possible with this egomaniac?
