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 knows it can’t create a second Ukrainian SSR. Its goal is the destruction of Ukraine — “Novorossiya,” LNR/DNR, “Malorossiya.”

Signs of genocide are clear, including deporting children, Ukrainian Institute of National Memory head Oleksandr Alfyorov for Ukrainska Pravda.1/
Alfyorov: “In Ukraine, Russia needs only two resources: history and children.”

Russia uses history as a weapon — through “Novorossiya,” “LNR,” “DNR,” “Malorossiya,” and the myth of a “fight against Nazism” to justify occupation and erase Ukrainian statehood.

2/
Alfyorov: “Russians violate territories with their markers and people.”

They glorify Soviet generals, invent imperial continuity, and turn memory into a tool that normalizes war, borders, and violence.

Chris Wright, US Energy sec.: Russia is funding its war by selling oil, gas and coal. Europe is the biggest buyers of Russian oil and natural gas to this day.

Trump is saying you’re helping fund this war machine, so we’re going to stop large buyers. 1/
Chris Wright: What’s India doing right now? It’s looking to buy more oil from the United States, probably more from Venezuela and other sources.

One way to help end the war in Ukraine is to starve the Russian war machine. 2X

Russian schools now teach children that Winston Smith — the hero of Orwell’s 1984 — was a “radical” with “destructive behavior” — The Times.

In the novel, Smith resists a totalitarian state, questions propaganda, and hates the ruling Party.

In Tomsk, Russia frames it as a crime.

1/Image
1984 was banned in the Soviet Union until 1988 and circulated underground among dissidents.

In 2022 it became the most downloaded fiction book in Russia.

Officials claimed readers loved it not as a warning about totalitarianism, but as a critique of “modern liberalism.”

2/
A school in Tomsk showed pupils Harry Potter, Batman Begins, and 1984 in one program.

The goal, according to the school: to teach children “why heroes become criminals” and how to spot “destructive behavior.”

Russian Ambassador to the UK Kelin: We could fight in Ukraine like the US did in Iraq, crushing cities, but we don’t. This war is slow and ‘surgical,’ to preserve civilians.

[Russia killed more than 15,000 civilians since 2022, this is how they preserve civilians.]

1/
Kelin: Three rounds of peace talks with Ukraine in Istanbul brought little result except prisoner exchanges.

Russia sticks to the Anchorage understandings with the US. Ukraine, despite a losing position, is trying to dictate its own terms.

2/
Kelin: Of course the talks matter. With or without the U.S., we need to work through many details.

Russia has proposed three tracks — military, political, humanitarian. Dialogue at different levels and formats is better than continued fighting.

Yuliia Dvornychenko from Ukraine’s Donetsk region spent two years in Russian captivity. Her two sons waited the entire time.

Yuliia: I was tortured: electric shocks, stripped, beaten. They threatened to send my kids to an orphanage. I signed anything to stop it. — DW.

1/
Yuliia: People traveled from occupied areas to Ukraine-controlled territory to buy basics, collect pensions, get medicine. Everyone needed to get out; for some, just to breathe.

We’d go with the kids to see the difference between life under occupation and outside it.

1/
Yuliia: The unit that captured me got 500,000 rubles($6,500) for taking Ukrainian “spies.” My younger son slept, the older saw everything.

Then the kids were alone for a month, the occupation security service banned neighbors from helping.

The EU may give Ukraine EU-level protections before full membership

The EU is weighing a peace-deal formula that grants Kyiv early access to EU membership rights and safeguards, locking in a time-bound path to full accession, possibly by 2027 — Bloomberg.

1/ Image
One option would grant Ukraine up-front accession protections, legal, economic, and regulatory safeguards, plus immediate access to selected EU rights, before formal membership.

2/
At the same time, the EU would lock in a time-bound accession roadmap, fixed steps and deadlines, replacing today’s open-ended process that can stall for years.
