Gen. Jack Keane with some blunt advice for the president on Putin, “the massive pathological liar that he is.” Keane says that Putin "has convinced our president that he's genuine and sincere about wanting to make the deal...But what’s the evidence of that?”
Zelensky said yes to an unconditional ceasefire from the start. Putin has never agreed to one, and Keane notes that Russia has “violated every ceasefire that they’ve had” since 2014.
Putin can’t beat Ukraine’s army, so he’s waging war on its people. Keane points out that 15,000 civilians have been killed in 2026, up 55% from 2025. Last week alone: 100 killed, 20 of them children.
The bottom line: “It starts with Putin, because he has been the one who said no every single time.”
