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]

Zelenskyy was supposed to fall in days — via assassination or flight.

Russian agents rented apartments near Bankova Street with orders to eliminate him. Instead, he posted a dark selfie: “We are here.”

Four years later, he’s still in office, CNN. 1/ Image
Removal was central to Moscow’s plan. Kill him or capture him — and let panic finish the job.

When the US offered evacuation, Zelenskyy’s line defined the moment: “I need ammunition, not a ride.” 2/
He survived around a dozen assassination attempts — but the bigger threat became political.

A corruption scandal toppled close allies, triggered rare wartime protests, and forced a public U-turn on anti-graft reforms. 3/

CBC: The UK is its weakest in the last 200 years. The Strategic Defence Review describes poor recruitment, falling morale, a workforce crisis, regulars and reservists in decline. In Germany a fifth of officer posts aren’t filled. The military has too little of everything. 1/
CBC: Europe’s top spenders are outpacing Russia, doubling Russia’s defense spending. But what will give Europe peace of mind will take more than money. The challenge is to stitch together a 44-nation patchwork to present a cohesive front against an opponent unified under one man. 2/
CBC: The Eastern Flank Watch combines air, ground and counter-drone defenses, establishing a surveillance perimeter at the Baltic and Black Seas and integrating into NATO programs. The European air shield is about missile defense and protecting airspace, like Europe’s version of Israel’s Iron Dome. 3X

Hodges: Most of the Congress supports Ukraine, but they don’t get the sanctions package for vote because Trump doesn’t want them to.
Even though most Americans support Ukraine, the administration is going in a different direction. There’s no oversight of what they’re doing. 1/
Hodges: Putin’s the one that can end it today since he started it with his attack on Ukraine. He could pull his troops out.

Russia has paid an enormous price. For the Ukrainians it’s clear they cannot agree to giving up land. It’s sovereign territory and there is zero interest to give up. 2/
Hodges: Europeans have got to accept more responsibility. Ukraine is a European country. The best way to defend Europe is to help Ukraine defeat Russia.

I did not hear a clear commitment to help Ukraine win. There’s not enough political will. 3X

Dmytro and Denys alone held the position for 130 days. Killed 7 Russians, took one as POW. Dmytro “K2”: Russians die like flies. They’re losers.

They failed to take our position 3 times. Bombed us with mortars, thinking we died. But fuck them, we were alive. And kept working. 1/
“K2”: A russian walked right inside the house once. We were sitting, about to drink coffee. He shouted, ‘Guys, guys’.

“Bars”: I aimed at the doorway and fired. He fell. I went around and put a final shot in his head. He was shouting because he thought we were his own. 2/
Journalist: What was the first thing you did after leaving the position? “K2”: Called my mom. And got proper cigarettes. And some normal food. I asked for fried eggs.

I’d been craving them. “Bars”: Called my parents, of course. Then a hot shower. We’d waited four months for that. 3/

Tetiana Tipakova: “It was the worst of all the prisons.”

A protest organizer in Berdyansk, she was abducted, beaten, tortured with electric shocks, and sexually assaulted by guards.

She was forced to film a propaganda video before being released, NYT. 1/ Image
Tetiana: “The goal was to break me.”

She now speaks publicly, testifies internationally, and works with survivor groups documenting sexual violence in occupied territories. 2/
Hundreds of Ukrainian women and girls have reported sexual violence by Russian troops since 2022. Advocates say the real number is far higher. Many cases go unreported due to stigma, fear, or occupation. 3/

The CIA and MI6 uncovered Putin’s invasion plan months early — but most of Europe, and even Zelenskyy, dismissed it as irrational.

Washington predicted Kyiv’s fall in weeks. Berlin and Paris predicted no war at all. Both were wrong, The Guardian. 1/ Image
Image
In November 2021, CIA Director Burns went to Moscow to warn Putin — and got only a secure phone call.

Putin ignored the invasion warning and talked instead about a “US warship” threat near the Black Sea. 2/
Burns returned more alarmed than before, convinced war was coming. Burns: "Biden asked if I thought Putin was going to do it. I said, "Yes." 3/
