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]

Former Ukraine PM Yatsenyuk: If we get a ceasefire, Ukrainians will cast ballots and elect the president. But that’s not on the radar right now.

Russians are playing this game, believing they can embroil Ukraine in domestic infight. The Ukrainian president is legitimate. 1/
Yatsenyuk: I do not see any intention on the side of Putin to cut any kind of peace deal with Ukraine. These so-called talks are a sham, with the idea to drag its feet and to outlast us. 2/
Yatsenyuk: There is no other scenario rather than to fight and to prevail. Putin's goal is to take over an entire Ukraine and annihilate Ukraine as a sovereign and independent nation. Putin is never straight. Putin is a professional KGB liar. 3X

Sullivan: The Chinese leadership says the East is rising, the West is declining. They believe the US is in decline and that democracy can’t succeed in XXI century.

Xi thinks China holds the high cards and America has vulnerabilities. There is real confidence from Beijing. 1/
Sullivan on Iran: If you got a deal, you put the nuclear program in a box, you get verification, and you’re not constantly lining up to take out enriched material or centrifuges or missiles.

I hope Trump would look seriously at the diplomatic option, but it’s likely there’ll be strikes. 2/
Sullivan on Venezuela: This is not a long-term sustainable strategy, but it has worked for a few weeks.

We asked for one big thing, let American oil companies exploit Venezuela’s oil resources. The question is whether there will be a democratic transition or just the status quo. 3X

2025 is the first year of the war in which Russian army losses exceeded recruitment. 418,000 killed or wounded vs 406,000 mobilized.

Ukraine continues to resist Russia’s main offensives — Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi for Le Monde. 1/ Image
Syrskyi says Russia planned a large-scale 2025 offensive to seize all of Donbas, parts of Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson, and create a buffer zone in Kharkiv and Sumy regions — but “it failed.” 2/
He credits two cross-border Ukrainian offensives in Belgorod (March–April) and Kursk (May–June) for forcing Russia to redeploy forces, preventing the planned spring offensive. 3/

Four Russian FPV drones hunted down a married couple as they tried to flee occupation near Sumy.

The man pulled his wounded wife on a sledge across no man’s land. A second strike tore her apart. A fourth killed him as he knelt beside her – The Times. 1/ Image
The couple, Valentyna and Valerii Klochkov, had hidden in their cellar for six weeks after Russian troops captured their village before Christmas.

Hunger and cold forced them out. Their bodies still lie in the snow — no one can retrieve them under drone fire. 2/
In Kyiv, Oksana says anxiety pushes her to take tranquillisers, yet she keeps the dose low.

“I want to feel this. I don’t want to go through it as a vegetable,” she says, while her sister’s body lies unrecovered in the snow in Sumy region. 3/ Image

An IT mistake exposed a $90bn Russian oil network funding the war in Ukraine.

FT traced 48 traders using one private email server to mask Rosneft crude after US sanctions in Oct. 2025. It is the largest sanctions-evasion scheme uncovered so far and may trigger new sanctions. 1/ Image
FT identified 442 web domains whose public registrations show they all use the same private email server, .

It matched those domains with Russian and Indian customs filings linking the network to more than $90bn in oil exports. 2/mx.phoenixtrading.ltd
In November 2024, more than 80% of Rosneft’s ship-borne oil exports moved through the apparent network. Customs records show many of the companies are active for around six months before being replaced. 3/

On Feb 24, 2022, she woke up to Russia’s invasion. 2/
Her parents joined Ukraine’s Territorial Army. At first she sent money and gear.

“I thought I was helping. But I couldn’t look myself in the mirror”, she says. In September 2022 she returned home and decided to stay on the ground. 3/
