Question: On the webinar for Ukraine in October 2022, the ascended masters said that the war would not last long and that Putin would not rule for long. But it is already the third year of the war and it is the third year that Ukraine has been brutally bombarded with all kinds of weapons. Putin was re-elected for another six years and started to destroy Ukraine with particular ferocity. When will the conflict end and when will Putin be withdrawn from this embodiment? When will we achieve a world without war? I have been giving invocations against the war in Ukraine for over three years. Although you say not to be attached to the result, I do not have enough physical or moral strength. Could I have chosen such an embodiment for myself?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2024 Easter webinar.
We did not say that the war definitely would not last long or that Putin definitely would not stay in embodiment for long. We said there was a potential that this could happen. At the time we said it, there was a potential because the war had created a great upheaval in the collective consciousness of Russia which caused many Russians to reconsider their support for Putin. Unfortunately, they did not choose to abandon their support for Putin and therefore, the war is still ongoing because Putin is still in embodiment. And the Russian people have not yet made that shift that allows them to see the fallacy of Putin’s promises and therefore withdraw their support from him.
Now this is a very complex situation and it is not just the Russian people who are part of the equation. It is also the Ukrainian people, who are also in this situation of being, so to speak, forced to decide what kind of a nation do they want. And there are still many Ukrainians, not only in the eastern parts but all over Ukraine, who are in doubt or indifferent about whether it would be better for Ukraine to be under Russia or be an independent country.
There are still some that are doubting whether it would be better for Ukraine to be part of the EU and turn more towards the west. There is not a decisive movement in the Russian population, not a decisive movement in the Ukrainian population.
This could have happened and it looked like it would happen in 2022 but it has not happened yet. This does not mean that it will not happen and it certainly does not mean that Putin will rule for the next six years or that he will stay in embodiment for the next six years. Because there is again great upheaval in the collective consciousness of Russia. And it is in part caused by the ongoing effect of the war, the effect of the sanctions, Russia’s isolation, the suppression from the authorities which gets worse and worse, the economy, the increased interest rates, increased inflation and so forth.
But a major factor has also been the attack in Moscow at the concert. Because what Putin has in a way been promising is that if the Russian people gave him power, he would keep them safe.
And now it has been proven that despite the fact that Putin was warned from abroad that a terrorist attack could happen, he did not take it seriously and he did not protect the people. Many people in Moscow have so far felt that they were isolated from the war, that it did not affect them because most of the soldiers that were sent to Ukraine came from the eastern regions of Russia. They have sort of lived in this bubble and that bubble has now been shattered. It remains to be seen what the effects will be. There is a temporary surge of nationalism but there is also this underlying doubt that Putin can fulfill his promises. And it is a matter of where does this go until it tips that balance.
Now as I said, this situation is complex. It is not just Ukraine and Russia but also the rest of the world. And you see, for example, in the United States where there is now this division again of whether to support Ukraine and how this is playing out in the Republican Party between those who are the blind followers of Trump and those who are real traditional Republicans who naturally would support Ukraine against Russia. Again, there are lessons to be learned there and where does the consciousness shift?
Then there is the entire continent of Europe where again, even though there was initially a very united response from Europe, there is still some division, there is still some lack of clarity of what the European response will be. Now you see the beginning of voices that say the only way to prevent a war with Russia is to make ourselves ready to win it so that Russia does not dare attack. And again, it is a matter of where this goes. And when does Europe come to the point where they can take a higher response, a more unified response to this conflict?
Then there is the rest of the world where other countries also are being initiated. How will they respond to this? Will they allow a large country like Russia to attack another country and they will just sit by and pretend like it is not happening? Or will they take a stand and say: This is not the kind of world we live in? In other words, when will we achieve a world without war? Well, when a critical mass of people and a critical mass of nations decide that war is no longer acceptable to them. That war is not an acceptable means to achieve an end.
As to whether you could personally have chosen this embodiment, well, yes, you did. It is part of your Divine plan to be in the situation you are in. And you need to discover what are the lessons you wanted to learn? What is the psychology you can transcend? And what is the higher aspects of your Divine plan? Nobody is forced to be in embodiment. There is always some level of choice. It is natural that you forget this as you come into embodiment. But nevertheless, you did choose and by discovering the reason why you chose, you can overcome the burden that you are feeling right now. It is understandable that you are feeling this burden. I am not in any way blaming you. I am simply saying that it is possible to overcome it.
In terms of how long the war will go on, well, you cannot put a date on something like this. You can give the hope that it will not last for that long. But you cannot put a date on it because as I said, there are so many delicate factors that play into this equation. But certainly, one of the big factors will be that the Russian people begin to ask themselves, can Putin fulfill his promise? And one of the promises that he made was that if they gave him power, he would keep them safe. Well, now many people in Moscow have realized that he may not be able to fulfill that promise.
But people could also start asking themselves: Well, is anyone safe in Putin’s Russia? Are they safe from external attacks? But are they safe from Putin and the suppression of the population that gets worse and worse and worse? Can anyone feel safe? Or are you working your way back towards the situation under Stalin’s Red Terror, where nobody could feel safe? And does the Russian population once again want to experience a situation where nobody is safe from their own government? Now another promise that Putin made was that if you give me power, I will stay out of your normal everyday lives.
But again, many people are beginning to doubt whether he can fulfill that promise because first of all, the war and the international sanctions are beginning to affect people’s everyday lives. The suppression of their freedoms is beginning to affect their lives, but also look at how the rhetoric has changed. After over two years of calling this the ridiculous term of a “special military operation”, they have now started, the Kremlin has started to use the term war. This means that at any moment now, the Russian government could decide to close the borders so nobody can leave Russia. And they could have a general mobilization where all men within a certain age range would be drafted into the army and sent to Ukraine. Is this not a gross interference with people’s everyday lives and with their safety? Certainly, the many tens of thousands of people who have been killed as cannon fodder in Ukraine would think it was not fulfilling the promise to keep them safe.
