In this episode of “International Flavor: Where the Truth Just Tastes Better,” Samuel Trapp breaks down the latest phase of Washington and Brussels trying to sell the public on a “Trump peace plan” they haven’t even read — while leaking and twisting it to fit their own script. From Lavrov’s long, unfiltered press conference to the Geneva 19-point counter-proposal, we contrast the official narrative with the battlefield reality around Pokrovsk, Mirnograd, and Zaporizhia, where Ukraine is scraping up 40,000 new troops a month for the meat grinder. We also look at Budanov’s sudden love of “humanitarian” exchanges, why Europe keeps lying about Minsk, and how Abu Dhabi backchannels show there are always talks — just never the ones you’re told about.
