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]

WSJ: Russia is bombing Odesa’s grain silos, port infrastructure, commercial ships, homes and energy sites. Life still goes on.

Resorts open, freight moves, cadets graduate, engineers repair substations, and the city keeps refusing to live on Moscow’s terms. 1/ Image
Odesa keeps Ukraine connected to the world. The city sends billions of dollars in agricultural exports through the Black Sea and the Danube, even after years of Russian attempts to cut that route. 2/
Ukraine broke Russia’s naval blockade in late 2023. Sea drones and missiles pushed the Black Sea Fleet away from the coast and reduced the immediate threat of a landing operation. 3/

Kellogg: To gain leverage, I would take Kharg Island and Larak Island, the Gulf’s command-and-control center.

Then the president owns something Iran no longer has. We can give it back at the end of the war, or keep it forever.

1/
Kellogg: If you let a weaker team hang around into the ninth inning or fourth quarter, it gets more dangerous.

You should have closed them out early. That is where we are now with Iran. I think Trump will close it out, and he should.

2/
Kellogg: Do not negotiate with Iran. We should dictate the terms. There is a war going on, and we should keep taking out their leadership.

Decapitation should continue. If that means taking out anyone, fine. It destabilizes the regime.

Browder: Trump screamed bloody murder about sending Ukraine military aid in similar dollar amounts, asking why spend money in a faraway place.

The same argument now applies to his own Iran war, and he's backed himself into a corner. 1/
Browder: Most pro-Putin voices in American media aren't doing it out of ideology — it's money.

The DOJ prosecuted people paid by Russia to push Russian talking points on podcasts before the 2024 election. I'd love to see Tucker Carlson spend a day in Ukraine's trenches. 2/
Browder: Bombing bridges and power plants is a war crime, full stop. That's what Putin is doing in Ukraine.

It would not befit America to commit the same war crimes openly against Iran. 3X

Browder: Russia has been providing Iran with targeted intelligence to track US troops — we've known this for a long time.

The Trump administration is contorting itself trying not to blame Russia, and honestly, that's pretty horrifying. 1/
Browder: A recent Economist/YouGov poll found a majority of Americans in every party support military aid for Ukraine and see Putin as a very bad actor.

Mollycoddling Russia the way this administration is doing just isn't in America's national interest. 2X

Ukraine’s new Commander-in-Chief Drapatyi in 2023: Ukraine is inconvenient for Russia’s history, because without Ukraine there is no Russia or empire.

That is why they still try to control us. Ukraine did not appear in 1991; it has centuries of culture, traditions and army.

1/
Drapatyi: In 7th or 8th grade, I dreamed of becoming a tank officer. After school, I entered the Kharkiv Tank Troops Institute.

That is how my military path began. My rule in life is simple: whatever I do, I do it well and responsibly, so I have nothing to be ashamed of.

2/
Drapatyi: In the hardest moments, the first rule is: do not panic. Assess the situation, look at the best case and the worst case, and see how to prevent the worst.

What helps me is cold calculation and a clear read of the situation before making a decision.

Kuleba: Once we ran low on Patriot interceptors and started taking cover for every alert instead of just some, that itself became a signal.

To partners, that we needed help, and to Russians, who already know our air-defense situation through their own intelligence anyway. 1/
Kuleba: My position on our strikes on Russian oil logistics is simple: for every warehouse Russia destroys in Ukraine, two should burn in Russia.

Call it whatever you want morally. If the UN wants us shot at while we sit and stay silent, I have no use for the UN. 2/
Kuleba: To collapse Russia's GDP further: bomb it, sink the shadow fleet, tighten EU and US sanctions, and pass the Graham bill sanctioning anyone who buys Russian oil.

A total economic war is starting, and it will bring real hardship to daily life on both sides. 3/
