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]

Remember Greenland crisis? Trump's allies now run a covert influence campaign in Greenland.

A network of Americans with White House ties has bribed a dogsledding association, cultivated opposition politicians, and highlighted Denmark's colonial crimes — Reuters.

1/ Image
The main face: Jørgen Boassen. Banned from Nuuk's main hotel, its public pool, and its fight club.

In December, he confronted a senior Greenlandic parliamentarian outside a restaurant and challenged him to a fight.

2/
Tom Dans, linked to Project 2025 and reappointed by Trump to chair the US Arctic Research Commission, coordinated with National Security Council staff.

He raised $250,000 for the dogsledding championship in exchange for inviting US officials.

The same FSB unit that poisoned Navalny also runs Russia’s state doping program. It shares the same staff, the same lab, and the same command.

The workers handle urine samples and nerve agents under one roof and joke: “you don’t want to mix urine and Novichok” - The Insider. 1/ Image
At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, FSB officers ran a system that swapped dirty urine samples for clean ones.

They used a hidden hole in the lab wall, opened sealed bottles, replaced the samples, and closed them again. Russian athletes passed tests and won medals. 2/
Staff edited the Moscow anti-doping lab database before handing it to investigators.

They deleted positive test results, removed raw data files, and added fake entries designed to shift blame onto whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov and hide the state program. 3/

Ukraine's Ambassador to the US, Stefanishyna: Putin’s so-called Easter ceasefire lasted less than 24 hours and was breached multiple times.

Very shortly after that came one of the largest attacks since winter: more than 700 drones across Ukraine. 1/
Stefanishyna: Attention is on Iran, but war does not stop because attention shifts.

We have had smaller disruptions in military deliveries, but not major ones. We hope once the war in Iran is over, order will be restored and efforts can return to ending the war in Ukraine. 2/
Stefanishyna: Talks are continuing on multiple layers. More than 100 Ukrainian POWs and abducted Ukrainian children came back.

But Russia is not interested in diplomacy. Russia speaks the language of pressure, when it is deprived of money, resources and the fuel of war. 3/

Petraeus: Ukraine is stopping the Russians cold with nearly 10,000 unmanned systems a day — in the air, on the ground, and at sea.

There are incremental gains either way, but I see no prospect of a Russian breakthrough. 1/
Petraeus: The front is now a 35-kilometer death zone in either direction.

Logistics move remotely, anything caught there for long gets taken out, and maritime drones have sunk over 35% of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. It is the most lethal front line in history. 2/
Petraeus: Once oil prices fall, I expect sanctions on Russia to snap back, with new US sanctions added to the EU package.

Then Russia goes back to running out of money, failing to recruit enough troops, and facing nightly Ukrainian strikes on energy infrastructure. 3/

Russia spends $500m a day on the war — the cost of 5-7 large hospitals.

A ceasefire would free these resources and cut the prohibitive interest rate. But it will not fix the economy. The system was broken long before 2022 — The Moscow Times. 1/ Image
Russia's economic deformations predate 2022. The war merely accelerated them.

The foundation: concentrated power among big business, regional elites, Kremlin bureaucrats. Systematic underinvestment in hospitals, schools, roads, utilities across most regions. 2/
Depressed regions, deprived of economic prospects, became the reservoir from which the Kremlin draws its contract soldiers. The ruling class keeps its children safe.

The fiscal reserves that made the war possible were built by technocrats who called themselves pragmatists. 3/

Zelenskyy: Russia openly says it wants to control its neighbors and decide Europe’s security order.

It has carried its war agenda as far as Syria and Africa. This is a global threat — and more countries now see it that way.

1/
Zelenskyy: Putin knows exactly what he’s doing and who he resembles.

He is rightly compared to the Nazis: the same expansionism, the same urge to decide which nations may exist.

2/
Zelenskyy: The freedom Ukraine still lacks is freedom from ruins and from those who bring them.

Freedom is never abstract — it must be fought for, protected, and built on security, law, culture, education, and one clear principle: evil must be punished.
