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]

Russian strike drones hit a passenger train in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. If we call things by their names, this was another act of terrorism.

As of now, 4 people are confirmed dead. 1/
In any country in the world, a drone strike on a civilian train would be classified the same way — as a terrorist attack.

There is no military objective, and there can be none, in killing civilians inside a train car. 2/
More than 200 people were on board the train. In the car hit by one of the Russian drones, there were 18 passengers. 3/

Snyder: The United States in its current form wants to undermine European democracy.

In particular, it wants to undermine European Union, and those two things work together. The Union helps create the conditions for democracy. 1/
Snyder: There’s no moment when we were innocent and everyone else was guilty. History’s never like that.

History gives us a sense of possibility. The more you know about the past, the more scenarios you see. All kinds of things have actually been tried and did happen. 2/
Snyder: The EU is a positive example where state sovereignty is strengthened because states are working together.

Some Americans and lots of Russians want to break up the EU to weaken European states, not because they care about European nations. 3X

Ukraine’s drone and cyber attacks inside Russia set the reference for MI6.

Britain’s MI6 is shifting from intelligence collection to active covert action against Russia — FP.

This includes sabotage, resistance support, and grey-zone operations.

1/ Image
New MI6 chief Blaise Metreweli explicitly invokes WWII-style SOE tactics: disrupting enemies, supporting resistance, and operating “between peace and war.”

Ukraine is described as the only country that has successfully fought back in this grey zone.

Kuleba: Russia uses talks to buy time, not to stop the war.

They are open to talks, but too far from settlement to stop.

They will keep bombing and advancing. For Ukraine, nothing has changed — we must survive what may be the hardest winter of our independence.

1/
Kuleba: A ceasefire is impossible without three detailed agreements approved by Ukraine: security guarantees, Ukraine’s reconstruction, and EU membership.

Without these, there are no real guarantees the deal will hold — and no reason for Ukraine to make concessions.

2/
Kuleba: EU accession is first of all about money. The EU budget runs in 7-year cycles, and the next one starts in 2028.

If funding for Ukraine’s enlargement isn’t built into that budget by 2027, adding it later will be extremely hard.

2027 is discussed in the EU itself.

China's top general, Zhang Youxia, is accused of leaking nuclear weapons data to the U.S. and accepting massive bribes.

Once Xi Jinping's most trusted military ally, the 75-year-old faces investigation for severe violations of party discipline and state laws — WSJ. 1/ Image
A closed-door briefing on Saturday revealed shocking details: Zhang allegedly leaked core technical data on China's nuclear weapons to the U.S., formed political cliques, and abused his authority in the Communist Party's top military decision-making body. 2/
Evidence against Zhang came from Gu Jun, former general manager of China National Nuclear Corp., which oversees all civilian and military nuclear programs. The probe into Gu linked Zhang to a security breach within China's nuclear sector. 3/

Russia sentenced Margarita Kharenko to 20 years in prison for her pro-Ukrainian stance.

In Russian-occupied Melitopol, she was convicted on fabricated “espionage” charges.

Ukrainska Pravda shows how Moscow has turned courts into a machine for jailing civilians. 1/ Image
Margarita Kharenko is 36 years old.

Before Russia’s full-scale invasion, she worked as a pharmacist and volunteered with the Ukrainian Volunteer Service, helping elderly people and caring for animals. 2/
After the occupation, Kharenko stayed in Melitopol.

She ran social media in Ukrainian, helped residents find scarce medicines, and openly wrote about the death of a close person — a Ukrainian soldier.

This became the basis for her persecution. 3/
