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.”

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]

Boris Johnson: Why have we taken Ukraine's NATO membership off the table?

Because we don’t think Putin would agree to a deal. But the idea that he wants a deal is delusional. Don’t retreat in advance of Putin. It’s pathetic. 1/

Johnson: We are backing Ukraine, but we сan't agree what the war aim is.

The aim should be victory for Ukraine. You are never going to do a deal with Putin if your policy is to do a deal. 2/

Johnson: Ukraine is fundamentally unconquerable. Putin has proved it is a great nation that wants its freedom.

This is a war of independence and it will end with Ukraine’s independence. But there will be a lot of bloodshed until the Ukrainians get the help they need. 3X

Russians beat him with batons on his knees and elbows. They taped his hands and legs together and threw him into a cell “like a swing.”

They forced him to recite the Lord’s Prayer while they hit him and offered him a contract to fight against Ukraine. 1/

During “intake,” Azov prisoners were marked with green antiseptic on their backs so guards would beat them harder than the others.

A stick was dipped in green dye and a sign — “Z” was drawn, writes Slidstvo Info. 2/

His name is Mykyta Semenov. At 18, right after school, he joined Azov.

He was born in Odesa. After 2014, he saw Russia’s seizure of Crimea and invasion of Donetsk and Luhansk as injustice. In summer 2021, he signed a contract and became a rifleman-grenadier. 3/

Russian economy is now like an alpinist on Everest: every hour at this altitude causes irreversible damage, and the body starts eating its own muscle for energy, writes russian economist Alexandra Prokopenko in The Economist. 1/

Russia won’t collapse. But it also won’t recover. It sits in a “negative equilibrium”: it stays alive by destroying its future capacity. 2/

Growth slowed to 1% in 2025. The outlook for 2026 is worse, with export revenues falling and weaker activity failing to plug budget gaps with new taxes. 3/

Sergeant Serhii Tyshchenko stayed at the front for 471 consecutive days. Drones hunted down every vehicle sent to reach him. The road out was more dangerous than staying.

FT: This is Ukraine kill zone. 1/

The kill zone stretches 30 km from Russian positions. Nothing moves inside it in daylight — no trucks, no ambulances, no supply columns.

Taras Chmut, founder of Come Back Alive: “Warfare changed in a radical way.”Every month the zone grows wider.” 2/

Russian FPV drones tethered to 40 km of fibre-optic cable lie dormant beside roads, then rise and strike the first vehicle that passes.

No radio signal can jam them. Drone founder Mike Dewhirst calls it a new form of dynamic mining. 3/

Today I said on CNN:

Ukrainians are exhausted, but people and businesses keep working even under no electricity and constant Russian attacks.

Ukrainians agree to peace, but only if there are real clear guarantees. 0/

Me: I think negotiations are great. But we need less talk, more action.

The mood in Ukraine is indeed that of exhaustion. But also that of determination.

It's great that talks are ongoing, but they won’t lead to too much progress unless there is real pressure on Russia. 1/

Me: The basic issue is if there is some kind of negotiated settlement, how long will it last? The fear is there’s going to be a pause of two weeks or two months, and then we’ll be bombed again.

People are preparing for the continuation of the war, even after a ceasefire. 2/

Scholz: I didn't discuss with Schröder his path [friendship with Putin]. We are helping Ukraine to defend its sovereignty against Russian aggression.

Putin's going against all the agreements we had decades before that borders should not be changed by force. 1/

Scholz: The decisions of selling parts of the gas storage infrastructure to a Russia were done before I entered government.

Pipelines were already built. In January 2022, I asked that we should look at LNG terminals and find a way how we can import gas from other places. 2/

Scholz: AfD have now approximately 25% in the polls. This is not the majority. We agreed that no one will cooperate with this party. There is a firewall to avoid that they are going to power. They are an anti-pluralistic party. They are not accepting that all of us citizens are “we”. 3X
