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]

Was Epstein really a Russian spy?

In 2017, after pressuring a Russian model for nude photos, he abruptly wrote, “My Russian ambassador friend… just died in New York.”

He meant Vitaly Churkin, Putin’s UN envoy — a close Epstein contact, Times. 1/ Image
Churkin held coffee meetings with Epstein.

Sergei Belyakov, Russian deputy economy minister and FSB academy graduate, called Epstein a very good friend, sought multi-entry visas for him, and pitched him as a channel for US investment into Russia. 2/
Epstein claimed he had FSB backing.

After a Russian model allegedly tried to blackmail businessmen, he wrote that friends in the FSB warned threats would be dealt with extremely harshly. 3/

Russia abducted Ukrainian journalist Yana Suvorova in occupied Melitopol when she was 18.

After a closed, staged trial, she was sentenced to 14 years for “terrorism” and “treason.” Her case is classified. She vanished from exchange lists, United24. 1/ Image
Image
Yana: “The cell is cold. Rats run around. The light is on constantly.”

Her boyfriend says her condition collapsed after transfer to Donetsk — held with girls who had attempted suicide. Psychological pressure was constant. 2/
Russia is prosecuting journalists as “terrorists” — to erase them from prisoner swaps.

By reclassifying Ukrainian media workers as terrorists, Moscow locks them out of exchanges, hides them from public view, and sentences them to decades in prison. 3/

The Davydenko family in Kyiv is escaping the cold together with their 7 pigs. Their apartment drops to -2°C, but leaving the city would feel like a gift to Putin, they say — Reuters. 1/ Image
Russian strikes on Ukraine’s power grid left their 12th-floor apartment without electricity for 8 days and without heating for nearly 2 weeks.

Night temperatures fell to -20°C. Sleeping there became impossible. 2/
So the family moved with 3 children, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 7 pigs into their own business — Piggy Cafe Kyiv.

A generator provides power. Heating still works. At night, they roll out mattresses on the floor. 3/

Germany broke up a network supplying Russia’s defense industry.

Police arrested 5 suspects accused of exporting sanctioned goods to Russian military firms. The network shipped €30M worth of goods since 2022 — Reuters. 1/ Image
German prosecutors say the group used shell companies and fake end-users inside and outside the EU to hide shipments to 24 Russian defense firms.

Raids took place in multiple cities, assets were frozen, and 5 more suspects remain at large. 2/
An asset freeze has been ordered against the equivalent value of the transactions.

Finance minister Lars Klingbeil: “Today's operations, ordered by federal prosecutors, show that we rigorously enforce the sanctions we have agreed on the EU level.” 3X

Kyiv will get just four to six hours of electricity a day in February.

Russia launched the largest attack on Ukraine's power grid since the start of the year during severe cold. Two key substations hit, while temperature was -13 degrees — New York Post. 1/ Image
Stanislav Ihnatiev, head of the Ukrainian Renewable Energy Association: Damage to substations of this class is a strategic blow to the entire energy system.

These facilities ensure the distribution of large amounts of power on a national scale. 2/
Frequent attacks make repairs nearly impossible. Emergency power cuts introduced during Ukraine's coldest winter in a decade.

Ihnatiev: “Restoration of unique equipment will take months or years.” 3X

Andrii Biletskyi, commander of the 3rd Army Corps: As Trump said, to talk about peace you need to have cards.

For Russia, peace starts only when advancing becomes impossible or too costly.

They hope spring and “infiltration tactics” will save them. I don’t think it will.

1/
Biletskyi: For most fighters who’ve been at war for years, it stops being pure emotion.

At first it’s rage, shock, survival. Over time, it becomes work.

War turns into a system, a profession — otherwise neither soldiers nor officers last.

2/
Biletskyi: At its birth, the development of drones was an initiative of Ukrainian soldiers.

For a long time, senior command ignored it.

It became powerful thanks to bottom-up initiative, not orders from above.
