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 Ukrainian FM Dmytro Kuleba: China is carrying out an ultra-slow absorption of Russia, starting from the side closest to it.

For Siberian peoples, China is understandable — and they see that where China is, there is welfare and order, while where Russia is, everything is the opposite. 1/
Kuleba: “Russian” is not really an ethnic belonging — it is imperial belonging.

That is why someone who is clearly not ethnically Russian can still shout: “I am Russian, I am for Russia.” The empire works through identity, not blood. 2/
Kuleba: Before 2014, the myth was that Russia’s claim to Ukraine was legitimate and Ukraine had to belong to Russia.

After 2014, the myth became that Ukraine could not defend itself in case of a larger Russian attack. 3/

Kasparov: Putin is not just at war against Ukraine. He is at war against Europe, European institutions and the free world.

Dictators lie about what they have done, but very often they tell you exactly what they are going to do. Putin has for decades. 1/
Kasparov: Putin’s goal was, is and will be to restore the Russian Empire and push NATO back to 1997 borders.

Ukraine is the main target now, but not the ultimate goal. Europe still treats this as hypothetical. It is not a threat — it is a menace. 2/
Kasparov: Putin needs a success story: proving NATO is dead because Article 5 does not work.

Narva, Daugavpils, maybe Vilnius are ideal targets. It is not about occupying Europe; it is about showing NATO will debate, hesitate and fail to respond. 3/

Kasparov: Nothing will happen in Russia unless Ukraine wins the war. Period. Ukraine must win, Russia must lose.

Any war that ends “okay” for Russia strengthens the regime; only Ukrainian victory can open the road to change by proving the empire is dead. 1/
Kasparov: This is not just Putin’s war or one inner circle’s war. The mistake after 1991 was thinking the problem was only the communist virus.

The real problem is the imperial virus, mutating in Russia for centuries, and it will not die without defeat. 2/
Kasparov: Ukraine saved Europe. If not for Ukraine, there would be no serious NATO discussion here — there would be another Russian nationalist congress.

Europe was ready to sell Ukraine down the river, and Ukrainian resistance changed everything for the continent. 3/

Putin put a nuclear-capable Oreshnik into Russia’s overnight strike on Kyiv region.

The hypersonic missile hit Bila Tserkva as Moscow launched around 90 cruise and ballistic missiles plus hundreds of drones. 4 people died, at least 80 were injured — Telegraph. 1/
Oreshnik travels 10 times faster than sound and can carry nuclear warheads. Russia had used it before near Dnipro and Lviv with dummy warheads, causing little damage but sending a symbolic threat.

Ukraine said earlier this year Moscow had only 4 of these missiles. 2/
Zelenskyy: Putin can no longer even properly pronounce the word hurrah, he slurs and mumbles, yet he still wins against residential buildings with his missiles.

He launched his so-called Oreshnik against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged. 3/

Only death or Russia can depose Putin. Democracies cannot remove him.

They can still defeat his external ambitions. The only language he understands is military and economic force backed by political will — Timothy Garton Ash, The Guardian. 1/ Image
Putin wants to subjugate Ukraine, restore the Russian empire, destroy NATO's credibility, undermine the EU, and rebuild a Russian sphere of influence over eastern Europe.

To prevent each of these is to defeat him. 2/
Orbán's fall in Hungary unblocked €90B in EU support, covering Ukraine's budget through 2027.

Putin's plan B is to ruin Ukraine if he cannot control it. Defeating him there means a prosperous, secure Ukraine inside the EU. 3/

Ukraine is building air defense to intercept 95% of Russian air threats.

Interceptor drones doubled their Shahed kill rate in 4 months, while Russia launched 35% more Shaheds per month — United24. 1/ Image
The Defense Ministry works on three lines, protecting the skies, stopping Russia on the ground, and draining the Russian economy.

The aim is to force Russia to negotiate through sustained pressure. 2/
The Defense Ministry wants 200 Russian casualties for every km² Russia advances.

Russia paid 67 casualties per km² in October, 254 in March, and 179 in April. Ukraine has slowed the advance and retaken ground in several sectors. 3/
