Putin demanded in a conversation with Trump to end the war in Ukraine – WP

In a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump, Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin demanded that Ukraine withdraw its troops from the territory of Donetsk region to stop the war. In return, Russia is allegedly ready to partially withdraw from Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

This was reported by The Washington Post, citing sources. It should be noted that publicly, the American, Ukrainian, or Russian sides have not confirmed such conditions.

The publication's interlocutors claimed that during a meeting on Friday in Washington, the US President's special representative Steve Witkoff allegedly pressured the Ukrainian delegation to hand over Donetsk to Russia, arguing that "the region is mostly Russian-speaking."

Putin's forces have been trying unsuccessfully to conquer the region for 11 years.

Ukrainian soldiers have built up significant defenses in the #Donetsk region, viewing the land as a serious bulwark against #Russia's rapid advance further west.

"Putin's attention to Donetsk suggests that he is not backing down from his past demands that have led the conflict to a stalemate , despite Trump's optimism about a potential deal," the media reported, citing unnamed officials.

During the phone call, the Russian leader allegedly stated his willingness to partially withdraw from #Zaporizhia and #Kherson regions in exchange for full control of #Donetsk.

It is unclear how much territory Putin was offering to "give up."

The WP believes that these territorial demands by Moscow are slightly less than the conditions voiced in August at the Trump-Putin summit in Anchorage, Alaska.

Some White House officials presented this as progress, but #Ukraine and #Europe think differently

According to one senior European diplomat, Ukrainians are unlikely to agree to this proposal.

" It's like selling them their own leg for nothing ," the diplomatic staffer explained.

According to the sources, Vadym was fond of sports, studied IT, but wanted to study cybersecurity and then return home to fight on the front lines in a cyber unit.

"He wanted to get a better education in Ireland, because, you know, it would be difficult in Ukraine - very difficult.

- I don't understand how such a bright person could be taken from life like that ," the journalists quote a family friend.

The man allegedly missed his flight from Poland to Ireland and his family insisted he fly home, but he decided to continue. He also had a girlfriend in Ukraine who was planning to visit him in Ireland, but she is "absolutely devastated" after learning of his death.

U.S. intelligence has supplied Kyiv with targeting data for Russian major oil refineries and infrastructure far beyond the frontline.

American support reportedly extends to helping plan the flight routes, timing, altitude and tactics of Ukrainian drones, allowing them to evade Russian air defense systems.

What positive changes are happening in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, what might "trigger" Putin, and why Ukraine needs not only "Tomahawks." An interview with retired US Rear Admiral Montgomery

A conversation with retired US Navy Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery is not just an interview about the course of the war in Ukraine.

It is a strategic discussion about the balance of power, timing, and the limits of the West's political will.
Montgomery is among those military strategists who think not only in terms of the front line but also the security architecture in which that front exists.

His answers are always precise, pragmatic, and at the same time uncomfortably honest—about what Ukraine can and must do on its own, and what it cannot manage without external support.

About the future that is being decided now.
About whether Ukraine can regain the initiative, whether Europe can remain a bastion of stability without the American shoulder,

And whether the West is ready to force the Kremlin to peace not with words but with force?
—his thoughts were shared in an exclusive interview by retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery.

Montgomery emphasizes three simple but harsh truths:
- modern technology and long-range weapons change the balance, unmanned systems compensate for the enemy's human superiority, and economic and political pressure is perhaps the only real mechanism capable of forcing the Kremlin to make concessions.

At the same time, the interview goes far beyond the Ukrainian context.

At its heart is a broader strategic dilemma:
- is Europe ready to take responsibility for its own security if the United States reduces its military presence on the continent? .....

The administration in Washington increasingly talks about "shifting focus" to the Indo-Pacific region, and in Europe - about the need to "do more."

- However, as Montgomery notes, none of the European armies has the full range of capabilities that American air and naval power or nuclear shield provide.

"And that is why the question is not only about money, but about Europe's ability to act quickly, coherently and decisively"....

When dictator Putin tests the West with drones over Poland, attacks on telecommunications cables, or cyberattacks on European airports, he is not testing defense as such, but the limits of patience and unity.

The admiral says frankly:

- NATO is facing not a military but a political challenge.

About the future that is being decided now. About whether Ukraine is able to regain the initiative, whether Europe can remain a bulwark of stability without the American shoulder, and whether the West is ready to force the Kremlin to peace not with words, but with force - retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA.

– Let's start with the current difficult situation on the front. In your opinion, can Ukraine regain the initiative on the battlefield under today's realities, and what is needed for this

"In fact, a Ukrainian counteroffensive is currently underway": former CIA director urged not to overestimate Russia's successes in Donbas

Retired US General and former CIA chief David Petraeus stated that the situation on the front should be assessed soberly. According to him, Russian forces have not achieved a decisive breakthrough; instead, Ukrainian forces continue counteroffensive actions, liberating new territories.

In an interview with the German publication WELT, Petraeus noted that the Ukrainian army has reclaimed about 200 square kilometers in recent weeks. At the same time, Russia has paid a huge price for its advances – over a million killed and wounded soldiers.

Russian Drones Turn the Streets of Kherson Into a Civilian Kill Zone

MYKOLAIV, Ukraine—Yaroslav Pavlivskiy waved his hands as he sprang from his car, pleading for mercy with the operator of a Russian drone circling overhead as he drove home from a market in the southern city of Kherson.

The operator flicked a switch to release a grenade, which exploded and tore into the legs of the 69-year-old pensioner. A passerby used a belt as a tourniquet to stop him from losing too much blood, saving his life.

In the hospital the next day, the doctor showed Pavlivskiy a Russian video of the incident, which was set to techno music and carried a caption: “A drone operator spotted another ‘civilian.’ After reconnaissance, the target was eliminated.”

Russian drone operators have turned daily life in Kherson into a terrifying gauntlet. A year ago, from the other side of the Dnipro River, they began sending drones, in addition to using bombs and artillery, to take potshots at civilians.

Now the attacks have intensified to such an extent that Ukrainian authorities, civilians and human-rights groups say it has become a systematic effort to keep people off the city’s streets under threat of execution from the skies

The drones drop grenades or antipersonnel mines, or swoop on targets and explode on impact. They target buses, markets, gas stations, and even medical and police vehicles. Residents fear the approach of winter, as nights grow longer and trees shed their leaves that provide natural cover.

It is part of Russia’s growing strategy to terrorize civilians in an effort to sap Ukrainians’ strength to resist in the fourth year of war. The attacks have left Kherson and villages along the Dnipro almost deserted. The youngest victim killed in the region, also known as Kherson, was a 1-year-old boy.

The Russian Defense Ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment.
