Putin to reject Trump’s peace offer. New Russian conditions demand concessions from the U.S., not just Ukraine:

“Kellogg comes to Moscow with his plan, we take it and tell him to screw himself, because we don’t like any of it.”
1/
The Russian conditions for negotiations

1. Reversal of U.S. Support for Ukraine:

Cease the provision of advanced long-range weapons to Ukraine [So, it is finally hurting! Great!]

Remove President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from power [How? Kill him?]

2/
2. Territorial Concessions

Ukraine must formally cede four occupied regions to Russia [This is impossible as it would violate the Ukrainian Constitution]

Commit to never joining NATO [The same here] 3/
3.High-Level Global Negotiations:

Trump and Putin must meet to discuss a “general agreement” on the global order, security and geopolitics, the Middle East and Russia-China relations

[This is delusional non-sense as the U.S. doesn’t have formal power over other countries] 4/
Acknowledge Ukraine as part of Russia’s core sphere of influence

[Basically, surrender Ukraine to Russia and make it a province. Won’t happen!] 5/
4. Sanctions Relief:

Full rollback of Western sanctions imposed on Russia

6/
5. Recognition of Russia’s Position in Global Affairs:

A long-term peace agreement must validate Russia’s global strategic interests

[I think they mean Russian right to dictate other countries policies] 7/
6. Broader Conditions for Peace:

Address other international flashpoints and establish a new global framework for peace and security

[New United Nations? With Russian at the chair seat?] 8/
There are explicit threats if demands are not met:

Escalation, including the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons, leading to catastrophic consequences and a radiation zone in Ukraine

[Russia is nuts and Trump will have his plate full with these idiots] 9/
Continued strengthening of Russia’s economy and alliances (China, Iran, North Korea) through confrontation

[At least, they are honest about who they are - barbarians who want to get their way by force, and so must be stopped by force]

Volker: Trump wants a deal on Ukraine more than he cares about what the deal says. That’s why he zigzags, applying pressure in different directions.

But this will not change Putin. He wants to eliminate Ukraine as a sovereign country and will not stop unless stopped. 1/
Volker: Russia’s global position is being severely diminished. Trump sees this.

It may mean he feels he has more military options to support Ukraine and push Russia back because Putin is in a weaker position than at any time since the full-scale invasion. 2/
Volker: Sometimes the US buys Putin’s line that Russian victory is inevitable. Other times, Washington is impressed by Ukraine’s resilience — from Kupiansk to long-range strikes inside Russia.

The US is testing options before concluding that pressure on Putin must increase. 3/

Putin: NATO moved toward Russia’s borders and broke public promises. They ignored Russia’s interests and built threats to our security. That push sparked the Ukraine crisis.

[Russia has broken more treaties than promises, yet still blames NATO on "broken promises".]

1/
Putin: We proposed a fair security system and offered terms to everyone. We should return to real talks now and reach Ukraine settlement as soon as possible.

[Russia talks about peace while its strikes leave thousands of Ukrainians without power, heat, and water]

2/
Putin: Not everyone is ready for peace—Kyiv and its backers resist.

We hope they will come around. Until then, Russia will keep pushing its goals.

[Russia’s goals are clear: bomb Ukraine and destroy our nation.]

Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency says MPs sold their votes for $10,000.

To fire ministers and the head of Ukraine’s security service, and to block a new government.

NABU released recordings involving Yuliya Tymoshenko, ex-PM and leader of the Batkivshchyna party. 1/
The recordings describe a cash-for-votes scheme.

Money bought voting to break the parliamentary majority and paralyze the government.

Tymoshenko: We want to crush this majority[in parliament]. No slip-ups.

2/
According to NABU, the paid voting included:

— Vote to add bills to the agenda

— Refuse the final vote to kill those bills

— Vote for all dismissals

— Block all appointments to freeze the government. 3/

Sen. Kelly: I never expected that I would have to protect the rule of law against a Secretary of Defense.

Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my 25 years of military service. He doesn't like what I said. And so he is trying to censure and demote me. 1/
Kelly: Pete Hegseth unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military.

If you speak out and say something that the President and Secretary of Defense doesn't like, you will be censured, threatened or even prosecuted. 2/
Kelly: If Hegseth succeeds in silencing me, then he and every other secretary of defense who comes after him will have license to punish any retired veteran of any political persuasion for the things that they say.

That's wrong and I will not stand for it. 3/

Denys Storozhuk refused to surrender from Azovstal in 2022, lived under occupation for a year posing as a civilian, and passed information to the Ukrainian military.

Denys: I lived in a sewer manhole for the first three weeks. I had food, water, and a chair.

1/
Denys: What stayed with me most was the constant storm of artillery and airstrikes at Azovstal.

Buildings vanished within minutes, concrete shaking like wood.

Near the end, an airstrike buried my  commander and brothers — we couldn’t reach them in time. Most suffocated from dust

2/
Denys: When first arrested, Russians beat and strangled me. I lost consciousness.

In the detention center, Russians could have their own stuff, and talk with others. Ukrainians were stripped and beaten again.

Rutte: If China were to move on Taiwan, it would not act alone. It would force its junior partner — Vladimir Putin in Moscow — to move against us.

By 2027, 29 or 31 Russia will have the capability to try something against us. We must to be ready. 1/
That is 20-25,000 Russians dead every month. In the Afghan war in the 1980s, Russia lost 20,000 in ten years.

Now it loses that and more in a month. This is unsustainable. 2/
Rutte: Putin’s war machine is churning out military equipment around the clock. Moscow is testing us through cyberattacks, sabotage and more.

There is no reason to believe Russia’s aggressive and reckless behavior will change. Russia remains our most significant threat. 3/
