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]

“She was very, very thin. Barely able to stand.”

That is how a Ukrainian soldier remembers the last days of journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna in Russian captivity — a witness account that finally puts a human face on how she died, The Guardian. 1/ Image
Roshchyna was 27 when she disappeared in the summer of 2022, reporting from occupied Ukraine.

She became one of an estimated 16,000 Ukrainian civilians detained by Russia. For 2 years, her fate was unknown. Now, a fellow prisoner has described her final journey. 2/
Mykyta Semenov, an Azov soldier released this summer, travelled with her by train and truck to Sizo-3 prison in Kizel, deep inside Russia near the Urals.

Semenov: I saw her walking down the corridor. Light blue summer dress with flowers. Sporty sneakers. A small makeup mirror. 3/

Ukraine cannot just give up Donetsk.

It is the most heavily fortified region in Europe and the core of Ukraine’s new kill-zone defense system.

Handing it over would mean giving Russia operational depth it failed to seize by force — Untited24. 1/ Image
Russia’s strategy: trade diplomacy for what it could not conquer militarily.

In three years, Moscow lost close to 1 million soldiers killed and wounded to capture just 1.45% of Ukrainian territory. During this time, Donetsk turned into a fortress belt 2/
FPV drones changed the battlefield.

Since mid-2023, drones achieve 80%+ hit rates in open terrain and cost less than artillery shells. Classic Soviet-style trenches collapsed under constant aerial surveillance and precision strikes. 3/

Stubb: We’re closer to a Ukraine's peace agreement than ever before. Now we're working on 3 documents:

One is a framework document of a 20-point peace plan.

The second one is security guarantees for Ukraine.

The third one is the reconstruction of Ukraine.

1/
Q: Why this moment [that we are close to a peace deal] is different?

Stubb: We have momentum, and it counts in diplomatic negotiations. And we have something on paper.

We rejected 28-point plan. But after the US and Ukraine worked on terms to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty.

2/
Stubb on MAGA and America First: We in Europe should take a deep breath and understand the realities

America First provides a ranking of the U.S. policy interests:

№ 1 is North-South-Latin America

№ 2 is Indo-Pacific

№ 3 is Europe

№ 4 is the Middle East

№ 5 is Africa

Q: Has Russia made any concessions?

Ukrainian ambassador to the US, Olga Stefanishyna for Fox News: No. Talks mention freezing front lines, but Russia keeps attacking civilians.

Odesa, has no water or electricity for five days. There’s no peace here. That’s a war. 1/
Q: How likely is a peace agreement from these talks?

Stefanishyna: The talks are about ending war in Ukraine, not signing a document

Ukraine, Europe, and the US are pushing for a real peace deal that stops the fighting and prevents new attacks. The only one stalling is Putin 2/
Q: How would security guarantees work if Ukraine gives up NATO aspirations?

Stefanishyna: The guarantees must be legally binding and irreversible. The form is still open. One option is approval by the US Congress and signing it into law. 3X

A Russian soldier smashed 75 y.o. Ludmyla’s face with a rifle, slashed her stomach, and raped her.

Diplomats discuss “blanket amnesty” in the new peace plan.

To them it's a compromise. To Ukraine, it means pardoning the man who sliced open a grandmother — The Times. 1/ Image
Filmmaker Alisa Kovalenko sees Ludmyla’s broken face reading the new “peace plan.” Alisa knows this hell. In 2014, a Russian officer forced her to strip and bathe.

He cleaned his gun, watched her naked fear, then raped her. “They didn’t kill me, but they broke me.” 2/
Iryna Dovhan, 63, was tied to a post in a town square, wrapped in a Ukrainian flag. Passers-by beat her and spat on her.
But the second blow came from the justice system.

A prosecutor refused to record her rape. He told her: "Your dignity has been compromised." 3/

Putin has lost over 1 million soldiers killed or wounded in Ukraine, but is winning something bigger.
FP columnist Michael Hirsh argues that after nearly four years of war, Putin has succeeded in his core goal: exposing deep fractures inside what used to be called “the West.” 1/ Image
Militarily, Russia failed.

After nearly four years of war, Putin controls only 20% of Ukrainian territory, failed to erase Ukrainian statehood and triggered NATO’s expansion with Finland and Sweden joining the alliance.

This is not a battlefield victory. 2/
But Putin’s strategic objective was broader.

From the start, he bet that NATO unity would fracture under pressure.

Today, the U.S. and Europe openly clash over Ukraine, peace terms, Russia’s role, and even the meaning of “the West.” 3/
