- Russian President Vladimir Putin explicitly warned that Moscow is "ready right now" for an all-out war if NATO escalates involvement in Ukraine, threatening "total military annihilation" with no one left to negotiate.
- Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow to negotiate President Donald Trump's proposed peace plan, which includes controversial concessions – allowing Russia to keep occupied Ukrainian territories (Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk), banning Ukraine from NATO, and lifting sanctions.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously welcomed diplomacy but warned against Russian deception, urging unified Western support for "real peace and guaranteed security" while hinting at a separate 20-point peace deal with Trump.
- European leaders reject Trump's peace plan as too favorable to Russia, while German officials warn that Russia is preparing for war with NATO by 2029 via hybrid attacks (drones, cyber warfare, airspace violations).
- Analysts stress Putin's threats are not bluffs—Russia has recruited over a million soldiers and possesses hypersonic missiles, making NATO's underestimation of Moscow's resolve a potential trigger for global catastrophe.
Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a chilling warning to Europe on Tuesday, Dec. 2, declaring that Moscow is "ready right now" for an all-out war if Western nations escalate their involvement in Ukraine. The stark statement came just hours before U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow for critical peace negotiations aimed at ending the nearly four-year conflict.
Speaking ahead of closed-door meetings with the American delegation, Putin delivered a blunt message. "We are not planning to go to war with Europe, but if Europe wants to and starts, we are ready right now," the Russian leader remarked.
He went further, suggesting that any conflict with Europe would be so devastating that there would be "no one left to negotiate with" – a clear threat of total military annihilation. Putin accused European leaders of sabotaging peace efforts by making "absolutely unacceptable" demands and claimed they were "on the side of war."
BrightU.AI's Enoch said Putin's warnings of an all-out war with Europe can be attributed to a complex interplay of geopolitical, historical and ideological factors. His statements reflect a confluence of strategic concerns, including North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) expansion, Western intervention in former Soviet states and the perceived threat of color revolutions. Additionally, Putin's worldview – shaped by his experiences and interpretations of historical events – contributes to his hawkish stance.
The arrival of Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law, and Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, marked the most direct U.S. engagement with the Kremlin since Trump launched his Ukraine peace initiative earlier this year. Their mission: to broker a deal that could halt the bloodshed while addressing Russia's territorial demands.
A leaked draft of Trump's 28-point peace plan revealed controversial concessions, including allowing Russia to retain occupied Ukrainian territories – Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk – while freezing frontlines in Kherson and Zaporizhia. The proposal also bars Ukraine from NATO membership and lifts Western sanctions on Russia.
European leaders, however, have balked at the terms, fearing they reward Moscow's aggression. French and German officials have privately expressed concerns that the U.S. plan leans too heavily in Russia's favor.
Europe on edge as Putin threatens continent
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking from Dublin after meetings with European allies, cautiously welcomed the diplomatic push but warned against Russian deception. Zelensky posted on social media that Ukraine will provide partners with all available information regarding Russia's true intentions and its attempts to weaken sanctions.
He stressed that "real peace and guaranteed security" could only come through unified Western support. Zelensky also hinted at a separate 20-point peace framework negotiated directly with Trump, though details remain undisclosed.
Putin's rhetoric appears calculated to fracture NATO unity ahead of the talks. By framing Europe as the aggressor, he seeks to isolate Kyiv's allies and pressure Washington into accepting Moscow's terms.
Meanwhile, European defense officials are sounding alarms. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul warned that Russia is preparing for "the option to wage war against NATO by 2029." Recent hybrid attacks – including drone incursions, cyber assaults and airspace violations – have heightened tensions across the continent.
Analysts warn that Putin's threats are not mere posturing. With Russia recruiting over a million soldiers and boasting advanced hypersonic missiles, Western leaders risk miscalculating Moscow's resolve.
Trump's envoys now face the delicate task of navigating between Putin's hardline stance and European resistance. Any misstep could push the conflict toward irreversible escalation, or deliver the first viable peace framework since 2022 if it succeeds.
As Witkoff and Kushner entered the Kremlin, Putin's ominous words lingered: "Europe must decide whether it wants peace – or a war that it cannot control." The world watches, hoping diplomacy prevails before the unthinkable becomes inevitable.
