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]

Putin: If Europe starts a war, then soon Moscow will have no one to negotiate with

Russia has no intention of going to war with Europe. But if Europe starts a war, Russia is ready right now.

[Russia is exhausted after three years of war in Ukraine and not ready to face NATO] 1/
Putin: Europe has removed itself from the Ukrainian settlement.

The Europeans have no peaceful agenda and are now hindering US efforts to resolve the situation.

They are living under the illusion of their original goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia.

2/
Putin: Attacks on tankers in the Black Sea are piracy.

In response to the attacks on tankers, Russia will expand its strikes on Ukrainian ports and ships entering those ports.

37-year-old Mykola Zakhozhyi left home on his motorcycle to check Russian positions near his Kyiv suburb. He never returned.

Russian soldiers seized him in the woods, kicked his head until he blacked out and poured diesel on him, threatening to burn him and others – NYT. 1/ Image
Russian troops moved Mykola through camps and jails. Guards lined prisoners up and made them run a gauntlet of kicks and punches.

They slammed men into metal door frames and jumped on their backs as they lay on the ground. 2/
In Kursk, guards hit prisoners on the way to the showers and to the yard, shocked them with electric devices and beat them while they waited for interrogations.

Former detainees said this was standard routine. 3/

Kasparov: Recall ambassadors, low down diplomatic ties, but Europe is doing business as usual. More than 500K visas were issued for Russians last year. Putin's laughing at you.

You want to be serious? Send French military jets to Ukraine. Show you’re willing to take a hit. 1/
Kasparov: We pray for Ukrainian heroism, but you can't do it forever. Europe preparing for war — behind this is one thought: how can we look so strong for Putin to be afraid to attack us?

They can't comprehend that European soldiers will be dying. I find it unacceptable. 2/
Kasparov: Politically, Europe just can't accept this responsibility. The Western democracies look weak. And we know what does always excite the predator in animal world?

Weakness and blood. That's exactly what's happening with Putin. He smells blood in Ukraine like a shark. 3/

Hodges: Europe and Ukraine know the U.S. has a primary interest, which is business with Russia. Europe sees it cannot count on the U.S.

Unsatisfactory outcome for Ukraine could send millions more Ukrainian refugees into Central and Western Europe. 1/
Hodges: The administration's approach has always been doomed from the start because they didn't care about the origin, history or geography, and approached it as a massive real estate deal.

Rubio said in the beginning, Ukraine, you're gonna have to give up some territory. 2/
Hodges: US made a decision in prioritization of Western hemisphere, Indo Pacific, Middle East, then Europe is №4. The US really sees Europe as inconsequential, except maybe for some business purposes.

Ukraine and Europe together do have the capability to stop Russia. 3/

Q: Is the U.S. cutting Europe out of the talks and will Witkoff push Ukraine into concessions?

Kallas: I’m worried the pressure will fall on the victim — Ukraine. Russia started this war, continues it and hits civilians daily. Any deal must keep that reality front and center. 1/
Q: Does the EU reparations loan hurt peace talks?

Kallas: No. It strengthens Europe’s leverage over Moscow. Russia owes Ukraine damages.

Using frozen Russian state assets is the right base for reparations. I understand Belgium’s concerns, but we need to move forward. 2/
Q: Your message to EU states lagging on Ukraine aid?

Kallas: Support is uneven. States doing less must step up. Helping Ukraine now costs far less than a longer war.

If all EU members push Russia together, the war ends sooner and the financial burden drops for everyone.

Belarusian opposition leader, Tsikhanouskaya: Helping Ukraine is a priority.

Its victory is crucial for many countries, especially Belarus. As long as Lukashenko serves Putin, he remains a threat to Ukraine, the EU, and keeps Belarus under Russia’s pressure. 1/
Tsikhanouskaya: The ideal scenario is Ukraine getting all support to secure a just peace. Russia turns inward and stops backing Lukashenko.

A democratic transition begins in Belarus, free from Moscow’s pressure and no longer propped up by the Kremlin. 2/
Tsikhanouskaya: This scenario begins with Ukraine’s support and victory.

The U.S. has its plan, Ukraine and Europe have theirs, and peace must start on Ukraine’s terms. Otherwise, Europe will live under constant tension. 3/
