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]

Oil spikes don’t save Putin.

Sanctions and a changing market will offset the effects of the Gulf crisis, Telegraph.

High prices once fueled Kremlin wars. Now Brent jumps, Russia still discounts, and the upside is capped. 1/ Image
Iran was a practical ally — Shahed drones — and a diplomatic one in Moscow’s anti-West bloc.

Tehran falls. The Strait of Hormuz tightens. Tankers reroute. Prices rise. 2/
Historically, oil windfalls emboldened Moscow: 1970s boom — USSR invades Afghanistan, 2000s surge — Georgia, Syria, Ukraine.

Cheap oil, by contrast, hurt. 3/

Kyiv Independent: Torturing prisoners is not merely a war crime, it's part of Russian culture.

From Western Ukraine in 1939-1941 to Gulag, from Chechnya to today's occupied territories, torture resurfaces again and again. 1/ Image
Russian torturers liked to record beatings, electrocutions, waterboardings on their smartphones.

Susan Sontag in 2004 essay on Abu Ghraib: "The meaning of these pictures is not just that these acts were performed, but that perpetrators had no sense there was anything wrong." 2/
Sontag: "Even more appalling, since pictures were meant to be circulated and seen by many people: it was all fun."

Same analysis applies to russian practice of recording torture of Ukrainians 20 years later. 3/

After every mass Russian strike, Ukraine breaks it down like a game tape.
