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]

At 69, Tetiana Tepliuk defended Azovstal under full encirclement, then spent 7 months in Russian captivity. Now 74 — she is back on active duty.

Soldiers call her "Khreshchena." The Godmother. — U24.

1/ Image
In the bunkers, she refused to eat her own rations.

Khreshchena: "Every evening, we were given a spoonful of sugar and a spoonful of honey. I saved it and gave it to two soldiers — the sugar to one, and the honey to the other."

2/
In Russian captivity at Taganrog, a guard told her she would not need her slippers — she would soon receive "white slippers" instead. A Russian cultural reference meaning she was being prepared for a coffin.

Tetiana accepted the threat with stoic calm.

Applebaum: Putin's war has finally reached Moscow.

Muscovites have lost cell service, struggled to use ATMs and come under drone attacks.

They understand Russia isn't winning. Putin won't fall tomorrow, but it has shifted the mood of Russia's business and political elite. 1/
Applebaum: Russia's system will eventually change.

Nobody knows who will succeed Putin or how that person will be chosen. There is no Politburo or ruling party to pick the next leader. The successor will emerge from Russia's elite groups. 2/
Applebaum: The frontline in Ukraine has stalled.

It has become a transparent zone where drones can see every person, tank and vehicle. Large offensives have become difficult, if not impossible. 3X

Trump: If it's necessary to close the skies over Ukraine — yeah.

1/
Trump: When we have a deal, we're gonna have a deal.

Security guarantee or no security guarantee. We're not gonna have to worry about that.

Stubb: 35,000 Russian soldiers killed per month won't end this war. Economic strain won't end it either.

What ends it: the Russian population turning against it. Drones hit St. Petersburg and Moscow. Kids lose their summers in Crimea. Gas lines. Internet shutdowns.

1/
Stubb: Ukraine's long-range strikes took down 40% of Russia's oil refining capacity.

2/
Stubb: Ukraine needs more Patriots — over 100 civilian buildings hit just the other night, civilians dying.

Europeans and Americans need to work on this together.

Trump turned NATO from a security guarantee into a paid service. Allies buy American weapons, and in return the US keeps protecting them.

They committed nearly $120B in the past year and spent half of it on US-made arms — Politico. 1/ Image
Trump demanded that allies raise defense spending from 2 percent of GDP to 5 percent, or risk losing US protection altogether.

He has often threatened to quit the alliance if they fall short. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tied higher spending to faster US arms sales. 2/
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Europe supports 110,000 American jobs through $300B in orders for US weapons.

The United Kingdom and Germany announced plans to build US weapons under license in their own factories, just days before the Ankara summit opens. 3/
