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]

Ukraine is producing drone unicorns worth over $1 bn The founders will be extraordinarily wealthy. The soldiers who fought for those companies to exist may return to bombed factories and destroyed housing.

After WWII the US faced the same problem — Mitzie Purdue in KyivPost. 1/ Image
Dmytro Kavun, president of Dignitas Ukraine, has spent two decades in cybersecurity and works closely with Ukraine’s defense-tech ecosystem.

He says several Ukrainian drone companies are on track to reach billion-dollar valuations. US investors are eager to buy. 2/
These companies built something remarkable. Engineers and startup founders with no military background coordinated with soldiers on the battlefield daily, sometimes hourly.

New technologies deployed in weeks, not the years it takes in the West. 3/

Pentagon circulated options to punish NATO allies over the Iran war — including suspending Spain from the alliance and reconsidering US support for UK control of the Falkland Islands.

The proposals are already discussed at senior levels, Reuters. 1/ Image
The trigger: allies refused basing, overflight, and access rights for US operations.

Spain blocked use of its bases and airspace. US officials call this the “absolute baseline” obligation inside NATO. 2/
Suspending Spain would be mostly symbolic but politically significant.

The memo suggests removing “difficult” countries from key NATO roles to signal that alliance commitments are not optional. 3/

Tykhyi, spokesman of Ukraine's FM: Orban's defeat is a signal to other parties and movements that anti-Ukrainian rhetoric does not work.

We showed the whole world that Ukraine is not an obstacle to negotiations, — Suspilne. 1/ Image
Tykhyi: Russia continues to insist, in ultimatum form, on maximalist and unrealistic demands, such as unilateral withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donetsk region.

For this language to change, much more pressure is needed — both economic and on the battlefield. 2/
Tykhyi: Every partner decision to increase pressure on Russia, to support Ukraine, every additional investment in our defense industry, every Ukrainian long-range strike on Ust-Luga, Primorsk and other Russian pain points strengthens our negotiating position. 3/

On his first-ever combat mission, a Ukrainian scout captured five Russian soldiers. He used the first POW to convince the other four to surrender from inside the bunker.

Scout callsign Vzhyk, had been a barista in Kyiv less than six months earlier — ArmyInform.

1/ Image
Vzhyk: There was no fear. We planned everything. I knew if I gave in to emotions, mistakes would follow.

The first POW "Sem" climbed back into the bunker on Vzhyk's suggestion. Five minutes later all four came out. Sem handed over a Russian radio set.

2/
On the way to evacuation: a Russian FPV drone attacked the group. Then artillery. Then several glide bombs landed nearby.

The POWs told the scouts they weren't surprised — their own side had been firing at them.

Russia's Communist Party leader, Zyuganov: If you don't urgently take measures, in autumn we'll face what happened in 1917 (revolution). We have no right to repeat that.

Putin's approval rating has slipped to 66%. The lowest since the full-scale invasion began — The Times.

1/ Image
The Kremlin struggled to contain a viral video — 30 million views. Monaco-based Russian model Victoria Bonya accused officials of hiding the truth from Putin.

"People will stop being afraid. They're being squeezed into a coiled spring — and one day it will snap."

2/
State TV presenter Solovyov responded to Bonya: It's not up to this worn-out harlot to open her dirty mouth.

She launched a petition to have him removed from air. Then posted an AI-generated video of herself as Spiderwoman beating him up.

Clearing the Strait of Hormuz of Iranian mines could take six months. And the operation won't start until the war ends, the Pentagon told Congress.

Gas prices could stay elevated through the midterm elections, The WP.

1/ Image
Iran deployed 20+ mines in and around the strait. Some were floated remotely using GPS — making them difficult to detect as they move.

US forces have no confirmed plan yet. Options include helicopters, drones and explosive ordnance disposal divers.

2/
Gas now costs $4.02 per gallon in the US. Trump this month said prices "could be the same or maybe a little bit higher" by the midterms, then reversed: they will be "much lower."

Bessent: it could be late September before we can have $3 gas again.
