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]

US pressure on Zelenskyy has escalated sharply: according to two senior Ukrainian officials.

Washington is now pushing Kyiv to accept major territorial losses and other concessions in Trump’s peace plan — while Europeans tell Zelenskyy the opposite — Axios. 1/ Image
The core dispute:

- Russia demands all of Donbas, including areas it doesn’t control.
- Ukraine demands binding US security guarantees.

Ukrainian officials say the latest US proposal got worse after Kushner and Witkoff’s 5-hour meeting with Putin in the Kremlin. 2/
Kyiv claims Kushner and Witkoff pushed for a yes on the call.

Ukrainian official: It felt like the US was trying to sell us the Russian desire to take the whole Donbas and wanted Zelenskyy to accept it over the phone. 3/

Ukraine will hand Washington a revised 20-point peace plan today.

Zelenskyy wants to block a U.S. draft Europe sees as tilted toward Moscow.

Zelenskyy: Ukraine gives up no land, that’s the red line, Reuters.

1/ Image
In London, Zelenskyy, Starmer, Macron and Merz met to boost Ukraine’s leverage before new talks with Washington.

They also pushed for U.S. security guarantees strong enough to stop the next Russian attack.

2/
In Brussels, von der Leyen, Costa and Rutte told Zelenskyy: No peace without full sovereignty and real long-term security.

Seven EU states pressed to finally use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine.

Syrskyi: We are observing a paradigm shift in the war. At the beginning, it was fought traditionally — offensives by tanks, large masses of infantry.

Now everything has changed with the rise of drones. War and command decisions cannot be imagined without the drone factor. 1/
Syrskyi: Unfortunately, the weather plays into the occupiers' hands.

Yet, Russia has lost more than 13,000 of its soldiers, killed or wounded, during this operation.

We are conducting another operation on the other flank, where we liberated more than 50 square kilometers. 2/
Syrskyi: Some German media posted information that the Russian army had taken Pokrovsk. I can confirm with full certainty this is not true.

We hold the northern part of the city, and the Russian army continues losing its soldiers there. We hold the city. 3/

Zelenskyy: There is a proposal from our partners to exchange part of the temporarily occupied Donetsk region and the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant for territories that the Russians have not yet captured.

We are not considering this option - Suspline.

1/ Image
Zelenskyy: The European-Ukrainian version of the peace plan will be ready and presented to the US political leadership tomorrow.

Zelenskyy: The US peace plan has been reduced to 20 points — provisions that were the most controversial for Ukraine have been removed.

2/
Zelenskyy: Trump has his own vision of ending the war, which differs from ours.

The Americans will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine. They earn money from this, and it is in line with their current policy.

Zelenskyy considers 5 candidates for Head of the Presidentʼs Office: Fedorov, Shmyhal, Budanov, Kyslytsya, Palisa — Suspilne.

Fedorov — Deputy PM. Leads major reforms and tech. Shmyhal — Defense Minister. Handles full defense budget and wartime responsibility. 1/ Image
Kyslytsya — Deputy FM. Key on foreign issues. Zelenskyy: Not sure he wants internal work.

Palisa — Deputy Head of Presidentʼs Office. Zelenskyy: Very good military, but his priority is the war. 2/
Budanov — Spy Chief. Runs military intelligence, “important direction.”

Zelenskyy: Options are Shmyhal or Fedorov. But it’s like Jenga. Remove one piece — everything collapses. 3X

Kasyanov, Putin’s first-term PM, says Putin reshaped Russia by “poisoning minds” with fear, loyalty tests and money.

He recalls Putin warning him: “If you get into politics, I’ll crush you.” He says this tactic later spread from elites to the whole population - The Times. 1/ Image
After he distanced himself, Putin revived an old smear calling him “Misha two per cent” — a claim that he took a 2% cut from big deals while in office.

Kasyanov says the accusation was false but used to damage him and signal how dissenters would be handled. 2/
Russia later labeled him a “foreign agent” in 2023 and a “terrorist and extremist” in 2025.

The FSB accused him and other exiled opposition figures of plotting to overthrow Putin and funding Ukrainian units. 3/
