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]

McFaul: Trump’s strategy was to appease Putin by making concessions without demanding anything in return.

He ruled out NATO membership for Ukraine and halted military and economic aid. Putin gave him nothing. Trump now seems to realize appeasement does not work. 1/
McFaul: Russia’s military has grown stronger, producing large numbers of drones and ballistic missiles.

The US and Europe, especially NATO’s eastern flank, must do more and coordinate joint defense commitments with Ukraine. 2/
McFaul: The West needs a Cold War–style strategy to deter Putin’s Russia. I once believed there was a clear divide between Putin’s dictatorship and Russian society.

I was wrong. Too many Russians support this war and accept the mass sacrifice of their own citizens. 3/

Kasparov: Ukrainians are publicly holding President Zelenskyy accountable during wartime.

It is the pulse of a living democracy. Even under Russian missile attacks, Ukraine's whole society is fighting for freedom, statehood, and its future. 1/
Kasparov: Ukraine's strike on the Wildberries storages targeted Russia's military logistics.

I accept Ukraine's account that Chinese components at the site supplied missiles and drones. Civilian losses are tragic, but the target was the war supply chain. 2X

Kasparov: If Ukraine fought the way Putin does, Moscow would be covered in corpses.

Ukraine does not target civilians because it is a state fighting by civilized rules. Russia deliberately attacks Ukrainian cities and kills civilians; that contrast defines this war. 1/
Kasparov: Russia's missile attacks on Ukrainian cities are an intensification of Putin's war, not retaliation for a Ukrainian operation.

His objective remains the destruction of Ukraine as an independent state and the terrorizing of civilians until they capitulate. 2/
Kasparov: Russian society today is adapting to drone strikes, fuel and power shortages, and higher prices without confronting the cause.

People complain, pay more, travel less, and carry on. That passivity lets Putin continue and escalate his war against Ukraine. 3X

Kuleba: Stripping temporary protection from military-age Ukrainian men already in the EU would create a serious legal crisis.
They would lose legal status across the bloc and face a choice: return to Ukraine or leave the EU for a country where they could regularize their stay. 1/
Kuleba: The new restriction does not apply to Ukrainians already in the EU under temporary protection, even when they renew it.

It applies to military-age men seeking protection for the first time after leaving Ukraine. 2/
Kuleba: This sounds like a very liberal version of the reform for citizens. But the devil is always in the details, and I do not want to interpret what I do not yet know. 3X

Trump is redirecting U.S. foreign aid toward MAGA-aligned projects in Europe and beyond.

The grants target EU tech rules, “censorship,” national sovereignty, conservative free speech groups and anti-communist messaging, — FT. 1/ Image
One proposed grant would put $2M toward efforts to counter “censorship” linked to EU regulations, including the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act. 2/
Another $5M would support a “civilisational alliance” in Europe. The notice says the money could fund projects on freedom of expression, political competition and national sovereignty. 3/

Macron: France, Germany and the United Kingdom will develop complementary deep-strike capabilities.
France, Germany and Italy will also advance next-generation air defense to strengthen Europe’s conventional deterrence. 1/
Macron: France and Germany are expanding advanced deterrence cooperation to create strategic doubt among our adversaries. Closer nuclear coordination will also generate new conventional defense cooperation. 2/
Macron: French-German nuclear cooperation will strengthen European security.

Joint exercises, closer military teams and less predictable deployment options make deterrence more credible. 3X
