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.”

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]

John Bolton: The West is losing Ukraine without losing a single battle.

EU paralysis and Trump’s diplomacy are shifting the war in Moscow’s favor — without Russia changing its goals. Ukrainian sovereignty and NATO unity are now at stake, he writes for WP. 1/

EU summit failed to agree on using €210bn in frozen Russian state assets as collateral for a reparations loan to Ukraine.

Belgium, backed quietly by others, blocked the plan over legal and financial risks. 2/

Instead, the EU approved a €90bn loan—less than half the original proposal. Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic opted out.

The money covers short-term budget support, not Ukraine’s defense or reconstruction. 3/

Maksym, Ukrainian soldier of the 22nd brigade, spent 33 days in the gray zone with a tourniquet on his wounded leg.

He was saved by an unmanned ground vehicle.

Six UGVs sent before were destroyed by Russians on the approach — CNN. 1/

He spent three hours in total darkness inside a steel capsule. FPV drone shredded the hull. Then UGV ran over a mine. The front left wheel was torn off, but it kept moving on three. Maksym is alive.
Now he’s in a hospital. His leg was amputated, but he survived. 2/

UGVs are simple, cheap, and expendable. Wheels, a platform, an armored capsule or a stretcher. They are slow, awkward, and sometimes break. But they don’t require a crew. 3/

Sometimes I forgot my mother’s name.

They forced us to sing up to 160 songs a day. In +40°C heat or –20°C cold. Every morning they played the Russian anthem.

They wanted to destroy me physically — Rasti, a Ukrainian POW returned after 2.5 years of torture in Russia. 1/

In late 2022, in the early stages of the war, Russians advanced from Crimea, the Donbas, and from the sea toward Mariupol

Rasti: We were surrounded in a week. Most of us understood that this was probably the last moment — the nearest friendly forces were 120 kilometers away. 2/

They held out at the metallurgical plant. Helicopters managed to deliver supplies only a few times.

Rasti: Sometimes I managed to record a short voice message for my mom. Sometimes I wrote: “The internet isn’t down — the generator was turned off. I’m alive. I didn’t die.” 3/

Fiona Hill: What we're trying to do now is blunt Putin's ability to keep on devastating everything. He's done incalculable damage to the fabric of Russian society, its demography, its economy.

His whole economy, society and politics revolve around having this war go on. 1/

Hill: Capitulating, Ukraine giving Putin what he has got now isn't sufficient to put end to this. Putin's not going to demilitarize or change the course of the Russian economy. He's created enemies out of most of Europe. It's scared US allies and shown how ruthless war is. 2X

Aiden Aslin, British POW on Russian captivity: Russian said "I am your death". He asked "do you want a beautiful death or a quick death? I wanted a quick death.

He said "no, you're going to have a beautiful death". I was fully expecting to be murdered at that point. 1/

Aslin: I remember they came for three of the guys that were in the cell with me. They put bags on their head, and then the door closed. You hear the guards shouting, laying on the floor. Then you hear them get beat. While they're crawling, you can hear them being beat. 2/

Aslin: They put a bag on my head. They shout at me to lay down. He asked "do you speak Russian?". And then he started beating me and started giving me directions.

I had to crawl on in prone. He was beating me in the back with a police baton. 3X
