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]

Applebaum: Trump does not think strategically and does not have an endgame.

He began the war without clear goals, never asked the American people, never spoke to Congress, and assumed it would be some kind of two-day operation that would end fast. 1/
Applebaum: Trump did not think through the second and third-order consequences — oil, the world economy, other Middle Eastern states.

He even seemed surprised Iran could use drones against the Gulf states. If he heard warnings, he did not absorb them. 2/
Applebaum: When an American plane went down in Iran, Trump’s fear was not for the pilot, the crew member, or the soldiers.

It was for himself and his reputation. That is why his presence unnerved people in the room making the actual rescue decisions. 3/

Snyder: We'e normalizing a world where one country tries to wipe out another nation. Americans have a hard time understanding that we're losing this war and are not in a position to tell Iranians what to do. No amount of targeting civilian infrastructure is going to change that. 1/
Snyder: Orban stood between Putin and Trump. Orban was the European who legitimated international networks of ideas, of personal contacts and of money. The American right, especially MAGA, is much more cosmopolitan and international than people realize. 2/
Snyder: Orban formula was the Trump formula. Be an oligarch, have oligarchs around you, divert tax money and EU money to you and your friends. Give people an enemy. If you make the connection between corruption at the top and the failure of the economy, then you can win huge. 3X

Druzhba pipeline may restart tomorrow. That would remove the condition Hungary set for releasing the EU’s €90B loan to Ukraine — Bloomberg

EU leaders approved it in Dec, but Orban blocked disbursement and tied the cash to resuming oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia. 1/ Image
Russian strikes damaged the pipeline in Jan. People familiar with the matter say Ukraine will run technical tests Tuesday.

Hungary’s outgoing government signaled Sunday it will lift the block and support the financing as soon as this week if shipments restart. 2/
Ukraine needs the funds to keep fighting as US assistance has effectively ended since Trump returned in 2025.

Ukraine has enough money only until June. Slovakia also signaled it won’t disrupt EU unity on the loan after earlier threats by PM Fico. 3X

Bolton: Iranian negotiators smell the panic in the White House.

I think they concede Trump wants out of this. He's broadcasting it almost every day. It gives the Iranians enormous leverage. 1/
Bolton: Iran should not make a nickel off of its oil as long as this conflict goes on.

The next step has to be the US and Israel opening the strait to ships from the Gulf Arab states. Iran blocking it on and off is unacceptable. 2/
Bolton: There's no way that Iran should come away with the lesson that they can close the strait anytime they want.

They need to learn the exact opposite lesson, that they better not try it again. That's how you restore deterrence. 3X

A Russian FPV tore her arm, scarred her face, and took 45–50% of her hearing.

Yana “Multyk” Zalevska is 25. On the fourth day after waking up, she said: “Fix my ears. I’m coming back.” 1/ Image
She met full-scale war at home in Kherson. Russians shelled apartment blocks, terrorized civilians, took people prisoner.

She joined the first anti-Russian rallies. Before enlisting, she wrote a will to her mother. “I have a small daughter. You have to think ahead.” 2/
Yana first fought for Kherson with the assault group Rukh as a combat medic. By late 2022 she was in Donbas.

One unit refused her: “A child, a girl, you came here for money.” The 59th said yes. “Come if you want.” She went. 3/

Gen. Hertling: Ukraine just used nothing but robotics to make Russians surrender and take ground.

It is mixing drones, battlefield robots, grit, and leadership in ways nobody expected. The country refuses to be demoralized and keeps inventing new ways to fight. 1/
Hertling: The US is learning from Ukraine, but not nearly enough.

Europe is integrating closely with Ukraine’s defense industry, and Gulf states now want Ukrainian missile and drone defense because Ukraine knows how to stop threats modern systems still miss. 2X
