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]

Madyar, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Force Commander: Putin hits his own people hardest — drains their money, kills their social media. Every dictator needs to know the limit.

This one has no brakes and breaks himself.

1/
Madyar: Ending the war? Stopping it — maybe, under pressure. But Russia demands we leave Donetsk.

That won't happen. No deal without third parties. Even a frozen line buys time — they rearm in years, then push again: Ukraine, then NATO members.

2/
Madyar: Don't get emotional about Hungary's new leader. Let it settle. Hungary bans me — I couldn't care less.

My father is Hungarian, my kids born there. But I'm Ukrainian, I live this war. What the new leaders do — time will tell.

Kasparov: The Ukrainian flag over Sevastopol is the only thing that can knock imperial nonsense out of the average Russian's head.

The imperial idea has outlived many rulers — and may well outlive Putin, unless it's finally buried in the Ukrainian war.

1/
Kasparov: In Russia, victories in war have always been used to strengthen the regime.

WWII was ideological support for communism. Under Putin, it became just a marker — "We can repeat it" was preparation for a new imperialist war.

2/
Kasparov: Tucker Carlson gets paid by Putin and Iranians. Antisemitism unites his far-right and far-left allies.

Zelenskyy's ex-spokeswoman Yulia Mendel fed him pure Kremlin narratives — everything he says carries a KGB stamp.

63 nations in Brussels backed returning Ukrainian children Russia abducted.

Sybiha, Ukraine's FM: "Russians are afraid of this topic. They demand to remove it from the agenda, because they understand that they are committing a crime and fear justice" — United24 Media. 1/ Image
Ukraine has returned 2,000+ children so far. Russia still holds tens of thousands.

The EU, Ukraine, and Canada convened the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children on May 11, on the sidelines of the EU Foreign Affairs Council. 2/
The EU pledged €50M to strengthen child protection systems in Ukraine.

Lithuania committed €10M to counter forced deportations, and Germany added €1.4M for social and psychological aid. 3/

Miroslav Simonov, a Russian drone operator from an elite unit defected to Ukraine, walking six miles through the front line at night, dodging sentries and minefields.

He carried drone secrets and intelligence on Russia's Rubicon Centre. — The Times.

1/ Image
Miroslav Simonov, 24, was an estate agent in Novosibirsk. He arrived in Moscow for a prestigious course — and was immediately arrested for not completing national service.

Officers watched him sign a military contract. Within weeks, he was at the front.

2/
In his drone unit, Simonov watched his commander joke in a chat after a strike hit a residential building — a 20-year-old girl in intensive care, grandmothers and children wounded.

"This is war. War will write everything off, will forgive everything," an officer told him.

Putin said the war in Ukraine may be "coming to an end." In April, Russia lost 45 sq miles — its first net territorial loss since August 2024.

Ukrainian strikes cut Russian oil exports from 5.2M to 3.5M barrels a day. — The Guardian.

1/ Image
In April, Russia lost 45 sq miles of Ukrainian territory — the first net loss since August 2024. Ukraine recaptured Kupiansk in December.

Gains in Zaporizhzhia reversed after Russia lost Starlink access. A slow-motion Russian victory no longer looks certain.

2/
Ukraine claims it killed or wounded more Russian soldiers than Russia recruited for five straight months.

March and April: ~35,000 casualties each month. Russian recruitment: 24,000–30,000 per month. Putin has no appetite for a second public mobilization.

The Iran war should have given Moscow an oil windfall, fiscal breathing room, and fresh leverage in Ukraine.

The opposite happened. Since the war began, Kyiv has been in its strongest stretch on and off the battlefield in years — Casey Michel, The Moscow Times. 1/ Image
Russia's offensive slowed to a WWI-style slog while Kyiv held the line.

For the first time in nearly 3 years, Ukraine retook more territory than Russia — some of it captured by a brigade of robots and drones alone. 2/
Drones did most of the work.

Ukraine now launches more cross-border drone attacks than Russia — confirmed by both the Ukrainian Air Force and Russia's Defense Ministry. 3/
