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]

A surrounded Ukrainian infantryman amputated his comrade's gangrenous arm with a knife and survived for months on raw pheasants cooked over trench candles.

“Boomer” marked enemy kills with notches on his rifle and stopped counting once he passed a hundred, Ukrainska Pravda.

1/ Image
Russians dropped FPV drones with water bottles wrapped in green tape and notes: "Surrender! You're surrounded. Lay down your weapons, walk out with a white flag." Nobody took the offer.

Boomer: "Captivity is simply not an option for me."

2/
Boomer amputated his comrade's gangrenous arm with a knife on the spot.

Boomer: "He couldn't release the tourniquet. The arm was already in such a state we had to cut it off at the elbow joint.”

Kasparov on Putin's biggest miscalculation: He was certain that linguistic commonality would outweigh everything and all his advisors believed Russian-speaking Ukrainians would side with Russia

Linguistic commonality proved far less important than people's sense of freedom 1/
Kasparov: Ukraine and Russia diverged in 1994. Russia chose the Chechen war to prolong power. Ukraine had a peaceful transfer, Kravchuk lost the election and left

That moment was critical. People voted and the president left. Ukrainians understood, power comes from the people 2/
Kasparov: A person born in Kharkiv, what made them different from someone born in Belgorod, 200 km away? Same Soviet Union, same language, same newspapers.

But Ukrainians became free people. Russia went the opposite direction. And that is why Putin could not take Novorossiya. 3X

Kasparov: My triad since day one of the full-scale war — Ukraine's victory, Russia's defeat, collapse of the empire. That is the only outcome this war can have.

Only the liquidation of Putin. No other options exist. While Putin is there, it is war. Only his liquidation. 1/
Kasparov: An empire cannot retreat. The moment an empire begins retreating — that is its end. This was true for Rome. It was true for every empire. Nothing new here.

It started with Crimea in 2014. It will end with Crimea. Putin and the Russian Empire have merged into one. 2/
Kasparov: Every lost war in Russia led to change. This war is lost — and worse than others because it's visible. The Crimean War was far away. Russo-Japanese was 8,000 km away.

In 1917, they hadn't even lost yet. A stalemate came and everything shattered into pieces. 3X

Syrskyi: Our main objective is to ensure that the enemy loses more than 1,000 personnel killed or wounded every day.

Ukraine’s war aims: hold territory, kill Russians faster than they can be replaced, destroy logistics with mid-range drones, and bleed Russia’s economy with long-range strikes. 1/Image
Syrskyi: Russia has lost 183,500 killed or badly wounded troops since January 1.
That number exceeds the 180,500 soldiers Russia is believed to have recruited in the same period. 2/
Syrskyi: I can’t say outright that the war is approaching a turning point.
Ukraine hopes Russia will mobilize all its forces and resources, exhaust itself, and then reach the point where the war can turn. 3/

Silicon Valley is part of Ukraine’s deep-strike war.

A $5,000 AI drone funded by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is hitting Russian supply vehicles.

Palantir helps plan deep strikes.
Starlink extends drone range, — The Times. 1/ Image
The AI drone is called Hornet.
It carries a 5 kg warhead and is built by Perennial Autonomy, a U.S. company founded by Schmidt.
Ukrainian videos show it striking Russian trucks that supply forces. 2/
The Hornet uses AI for automatic target recognition and the final stage of flight.
That helps it evade Russian electronic jamming.
A human operator still makes the actual targeting decision. 3/

Ex-CIA officer, West: There is no chance of a coup against Putin. Russia is a security state built over 26 years with one purpose, keeping him and his strongmen in power.

300,000 Rosgvardia troops loyal to him. 30,000 elite protective service. All beholden to Putin. 1/
West: Prigozhin was never close. Had he reached Moscow, he'd have hit crack Rosgvardia units whose entire existence — pay, palaces, benefits — depends on Putin.

People say 2023 showed Putin was vulnerable. No, he wasn't. Prigozhin knew he had no chance of overturning him. 2/
West: Why did Putin insist on getting his assassin Krasikov swapped in 2024? Why did he greet him on the tarmac with a bear hug?

He wanted his entire inner circle to know — if you kill for me, I will take care of you. I will get you out. That's the loyalty he builds. 3X
