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 strikes leave apartments icy. People wake up shivering, warm their hands by ovens, and wear 3-5 pairs of socks just to get through the day.

Tetiana from Kyiv: Cold. Very cold. Everything is icy. I turn on the oven and stand there to warm myself. That’s life.

1/
Daria: With a child, it’s impossible to stay in the apartment. We came yesterday for two or three hours, and I froze so badly my throat started to hurt.

2/
Yeva: How many pairs of socks? One, two, three and boots. At home, I put on two more pairs. It’s extremely cold.

Applebaum: A Russian victory in Ukraine would endanger not only countries on Russia’s borders, but all of Europe.

Putin has said that anywhere a Russian soldier has ever been could be Russian again. That is not only Warsaw or Riga. That also means Berlin. 1/
Applebaum: Europe faces pressure from two sides. On one side, a rearmed and radicalized Russia using hybrid warfare.

On the other, an American administration whose strategy defines European liberal democracy itself as an adversary. 2/
Applebaum ironically: We can give up [on Europe and Ukraine].

We can let American negotiators prolong the war, using talks with Russia to plan business deals. We can allow Europe to become a continent of warring states, manipulated by Russia, America, and China. 3X

Ben Hodges: It's naive to believe Russia wants to be a responsible global player.

The Kremlin represents a government killing Ukrainians daily, including civilians and children. To say they were “almost friends” is absurd and deeply misguided. 1/
Hodges: U.S. has not shown real commitment to Ukraine, and Ukrainian leaders rightly doubt any promises.

Trump administration hasn’t delivered weapons or guarantees. European allies must show their support, as the U.S. risks destroying trust with its inconsistent actions. 2/
Hodges: If Russia gets more of Donbass, Ukraine won’t be satisfied, and Russia won’t stop.

The U.S. should provide security guarantees, but this requires acknowledging Russia as the aggressor — a stance the Trump administration hasn’t shown willingness to take. 3/

“She’s been in the Ukrainian army for 10 years. She lives with her soldiers, calls them ‘my boys,’ and sends drone pilots a few kilometers from Russians to track and kill.

She’s the most extraordinary woman” — author Marlowe on Yulia Mykytenko, Ukrainian drone unit commander. 1/
Lara Marlowe: I went to see Yuliia on the front line in Donetsk.

She commands a drone unit, lives in a house with men, and constantly goes out to dugouts near Russian positions. They watch everything Russians do and use FPV drones with explosives. 2/
Marlowe: She believes women are just as capable as men. Living with male soldiers has never been a problem. When I asked about harassment, she said, “No. I have a gun.” 3/

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
