At a diplomatic forum, Jared Kushner’s suggestion that Ukraine should hand over territory to Russia to end the war was met with derision, exposing the absurdity and moral bankruptcy of appeasing imperialist aggression.
Jared Kushner, former senior adviser and son-in-law of President Donald Trump, faced open ridicule at a diplomatic forum after advocating that Ukraine should capitulate to Russia’s demands and cede territory in pursuit of so-called peace. Kushner told the audience that the only obstacle to a settlement was Ukraine’s refusal to surrender the regions Moscow covets, and he called for mediators to concoct a 'creative solution' that would appease both sides—effectively legitimizing Russia’s violent land grab.
He further claimed that both Kyiv and Moscow were experiencing 'a lot of pain,' and astonishingly expressed optimism that President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelensky were 'very committed' to negotiations. The audience reportedly erupted in laughter when Kushner painted Putin—a war criminal responsible for untold suffering—as a committed negotiator, according to local reports.
Kushner, who was inexplicably tasked with leading Russia-Ukraine talks alongside real estate mogul Steve Witkoff under the Trump administration, has recently visited both Moscow and Kyiv. Ukrainian officials have consistently and courageously rejected any proposal that would force them to cede territory, with President Zelensky reaffirming his expectation that the conflict will continue into the winter rather than submit to imperialist demands.
Kushner’s tone-deaf remarks came as Russian drones struck a crossing on the Polish-Ukrainian border, a route used by foreign dignitaries, underscoring the ongoing aggression and the folly of appeasement.
