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]

Russia failed to take Ukrainian land by force and now pressures US to make Kyiv give it up politically.

Syrskyi: Russian manuals call 1.5-3 km per day a breakthrough, but troops move 1.5-4.5 km per month. At this pace, Russia needs years to take the land it wants, Bloomberg. 1/ Image
Putin is trying to sell a narrative to Trump's circle that Ukraine is losing, using small territorial gains to force a settlement.

He seeks a deal that weakens Ukraine militarily and leaves the option to resume the invasion later. 2/
Syrskyi rejects Russian claims of taking Pokrovsk. Russia sent 170,000 troops and fought for more than a year but seized only part of the city.

Ukrainian forces control 13 of 29 km² and maintain their position. Russian units failed to encircle the garrison or cut logistics. 3/

Suffocation with plastic bags, electric shocks to the genitals, broken fingers, needles driven under fingernails and forced removal of pro-Ukrainian tattoos.

In Russian detention centers and prisons, this is called a “gentleman’s kit” — United24 cites a report by Memorial. 1/ Image
Almost all Ukrainians released from Russian captivity report systematic torture, humiliation, and a complete lack of medical care.

These abuses are not isolated incidents but a routine part of detention. 2/
In January 2025, Memorial’s monitoring mission conducted 40 interviews with former POWs, civilian hostages, witnesses, and families of victims.

The research covered 8 regions of Ukraine and focused on war crimes committed after Russia’s full-scale invasion. 3/

Trump sends Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Europe to meet Zelenskyy and leaders of Germany, France, and the U.K.

The goal: push Ukraine to approve the U.S. peace plan despite unresolved territorial issues, reports Axios. 1/ Image
The U.S. plan includes Russia’s demand to control the entire Donbas, even though Ukraine still holds about 14% of it.

The proposal would turn the area into a demilitarized zone. Zelenskyy openly questions this idea. 2/
Witkoff and Kushner discuss the plan with Ukrainian and European security advisers.

European leaders tell Zelenskyy he does not need to rush into a deal, especially one that forces Ukraine to cede territory it has not lost. 3/

Ukraine could join the EU by Jan 1, 2027 under a US-backed peace plan.

The date is written into draft talks with Kyiv and Brussels.

One European diplomat called accession by 2027 “extremely difficult.” Several others said the date is “absolutely impossible” — FT, Reuters

1/ Image
Ukraine has not completed a single accession chapter.

Fast-track accession would bypass the EU’s merit-based enlargement process and force changes to funding, voting, and agricultural policy.

2/
US backing could pressure Hungary to lift its veto and allow Ukraine to move forward politically.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine shaped negotiations around future EU membership and stressed the role of US influence on Europe.

The most effective sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet right now are Ukrainian SBU drones.

In the past two weeks, they hit three oil tankers in the Black Sea. But The Atlantic writes this escalation also signals Ukrainian desperation ahead of talks. 1/ Image
For more than two years, Ukraine avoided striking civilian vessels, even those carrying Russian oil that funds the war.

Oleksandr Kubrakov, then infrastructure minister, stopped an SBU strike in 2023: “That would be piracy. Those are not our methods.” 2/
That rule changed in late November 2025.

Five oil tankers were hit in 13 days — three near Ukraine, one near Turkey, one off West Africa.

SBU confirmed responsibility for the Black Sea strikes, calling them “kinetic sanctions” on Russian oil. 3/

“If you sit on your couch and wait for the war to end, nothing will change.”

That’s how 24-year-old Mykhailo explains why he volunteered for Ukraine’s army — even though men aged 18-24 are not required to serve — UNITED24. 1/ Image
Ukraine launched Contract 18-24 in February 2025 after the first volunteer wave faded.

The state needed a sustainable way to refill the army — without forced mobilization of the youngest cohort. 2/
Defense Minister Rustem Umerov describes the idea plainly: “This is not about compulsion. It is an opportunity to make a conscious choice, gain combat experience, and secure financial stability in one year.” 3/
