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]

Foreman: Putin wasn't a major figure in the KGB. He was a functionary in a minor town in East Germany.

The head of the KGB residency there didn't even know who he was. He was spying on East Germans, not the West. 1/
Foreman: The judo analogy fits Putin better than the idea that he is a grand strategist playing multidimensional chess.

He is reactive. He sees opportunities and takes them rather than following some master plan. 2/
Foreman: There's a huge plot around Putin in many books. People imagine secret KGB circles planning Russia's future for decades.

I think that's rubbish. Putin was a functionary who got his chance, grabbed it and consolidated power. 3X

Krzysztof Bosak, a far-right deputy speaker of Poland’s parliament, says the government secretly transferred Patriot missiles to Ukraine in March.

Poland’s Defence Ministry says the list of military aid is classified — European Pravda. 1/ Image
Bosak says the missiles were bought from the U.S. for Poland’s own layered air defense system.

The interceptors are needed for Poland’s defense against Russian Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad. 2/
The government has not publicly confirmed the transfer.

Deputy Defence Minister Cezary Tomczyk told Polsat News that the list of aid to Ukraine is secret.
But presidential official Marcin Przydacz said the transfer was “highly likely.” 3/

FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov is personally overseeing an information operation to split Ukraine and Poland.

Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation says FSB will use forged WWII-era documents about the Volhynia tragedy, — United24. 1/ Image

Ukraine says Russian services want to publish fabricated historical materials and push them into Polish and Ukrainian information spaces. 2/
The target is to reopen historical wounds between Ukrainians and Poles.

German tanks are returning to a region they once razed.

For the first time since the Cold War, Germany is permanently deploying military units abroad: the 45th Panzer Brigade in Lithuania, as American forces in the region dwindle, The Economist. 1/ Image
The 45th Brigade trained along Lithuania’s border with Belarus to be ready to fight tonight to defend Vilnius and hold the Suwalki corridor.

It will grow from 1,600 soldiers to around 5,000 by the end of 2027, with armour, artillery, drones and air defence. 2/
Under “NATO 3.0,” America demands that Europeans lead their own conventional defence while the US provides a nuclear umbrella.

Germany plans to spend 3.5% of GDP on defence by 2029 and could outspend Britain and France combined by decade’s end. 3/

Every major AI: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, shows Crimea as Russian by default.

A Silicon Valley engineer traced why: Natural Earth, the database used by 20 million downloads a week, marks Crimea as SOVEREIGNT="Russia." — Ivan Dobrovolsky, Kyiv Independent.

1/ Image
The engineer scanned all 34.1 million Google C4 documents used to train early LLMs. In 900,000 cases — 2.61% — Crimea is tied to Russian addresses: "Republic of Crimea" or "Simferopol, Russian Federation."

Sanctions cannot fix this. Weather forecasts carry the same data.

2/
Academic publishers compound the problem. Among 91,000 open articles scanned, 161 in CrossRef carry Russian affiliation for Crimea.

CrossRef does not allow mass correction of records. Each article permanently sets "Simferopol, Russian Federation" in scientific archives.
