Zelensky on the Trump-Putin call:

Ukraine supports peace, but if Russia talks and then bombs Slovyansk, we will respond.

Russia’s goal is the same - no mobilization, no aid to Ukraine, so they can attack later.

The prisoner exchange? Pre-planned, nothing new.

0/
Zelensky: Russia and Ukraine, with U.S. mediation, might agree not to hit energy infrastructure

But it can’t be that Russia keeps striking our energy sector while we stay silent. We will respond. [He refers to tonight’s Russian attack and blackout in Slovyansk] 1/
Zelensky: Regarding Putin’s political will. The air raid alarm in Ukraine - that’s your answer. This is how Putin shows he doesn’t want war.

He’s afraid that Ukrainians will disrupt the "peace." 2/
Zelensky: I don’t want Ukraine to be on Putin’s menu. We are not a salad or a compote to be served up for his appetite - no matter how big it is.

And we all see what kind of appetite he has. 3/
Zelensky: We support all steps toward ending the war. But to support something, we need to understand the specifics. If President Trump has time, he’ll call. We’re ready. 4/
Zelensky: I knew about the prisoner exchange. I got that information in advance from the SBU and GUR. This was a planned exchange on our part. 5/
Zelensky: I want President Trump to see what Putin is really after - a new offensive in Zaporizhzhia, the east, Kharkiv, and Sumy.

Why? To put maximum pressure on Ukraine and then dictate ultimatums from a position of strength. 6/
Zelensky: There’s no major weapons shortage in Ukraine right now. Yes, there are issues with FPVs. But when it comes to artillery, certain mines, and systems, we’re covering those needs for now.

Honestly, we’re even ramping up supplies. 7/
Zelensky: I really hope that President Trump put maximum pressure on Putin regarding necessary steps.

Perhaps they are sequential.

I do not know. 8/
Zelensky: Putin keeps bringing up mobilization, and weapons [in his demands].

What’s behind that? An attempt to weaken Ukraine’s army.

This was his ultimatum at the start of the war. He changes the words, but the substance stays the same. 9X

US and Israel linked nonprofits raised $600k-$700k per Ukrainian child with cancer and delivered $1,200-$1,700 to the families.

The Kyiv Independent traced the money, the contracts, the ads, and the payouts behind these campaigns. 1/ Image
The campaigns run mostly from the United States, use Israeli fundraising platforms, and keep operators anonymous.

They target donors worldwide with ads in English, German, French, Bulgarian, and more — while blocking access from Ukrainian IPs. 2/
Campaigns altered children’s diagnoses, names, and family stories — and claimed treatment in US hospitals that never existed.

Leukemia became rare brain cancer. Maksym became Alex. Serhii became Andrew. 3/

Zelenskyy: The Americans have proposed a direct negotiation in the Ukraine-US-Russia format, and possibly Europe.

Today there is no peace deal, and there cannot be one until the war is stopped. Ukraine’s MFA is working on creating the infrastructure for elections abroad. 1/
Zelenskyy: There is no peace agreement today. And there may not be one.

A peace agreement will exist only when it is not just on paper, but when it is signed by leaders and when the war has stopped. That is what constitutes an agreement — unlike the Budapest Memorandum. 2/
Zelenskyy: Ukraine’s MFA is working on creating the infrastructure to hold elections abroad.

Elections will not be held in Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories due to the risk of Russia falsifying the results. 3/

Rubio: I won’t discuss deal details in public. No peace is possible unless Ukraine agrees and unless Russia agrees.

Ukraine is a combatant. If it says no, there is no peace. The U.S. will not force a deal on anyone.

1/
Rubio: We’re trying to define what Ukraine can live with and what Russia can live with, then push those positions closer.

Wars end by surrender or negotiation. We don’t see surrender from either side, so only a negotiated settlement can end this war.

2/
Rubio: A negotiated settlement means both sides give and get something. We’re mapping what Russia and Ukraine can offer and expect.

The U.S. won’t impose a deal — the decision is theirs. Our role is to see if their positions can overlap.

Dmitri Kozak, ex Putin aide, refused the president's orders on day two of the Ukraine invasion, insisting he didn't know Russia's goals.

He told Putin he was ready to be arrested or shot, — NYT. 1/ Image
Days before the invasion, Kozak warned Putin at a Security Council meeting: Ukrainians will resist, sanctions will be severe, Russia's position will suffer.

He drafted a memo predicting Sweden and Finland would join NATO, which came true. 2/
Kozak had worked with Putin since the 1990s in St. Petersburg. He managed Putin's first re-election, oversaw the 2014 Olympics, and integrated Crimea.

He was negotiating genuinely with Ukraine when Putin invaded. 3/

An 18-year-old from occupied Crimea was about to be drafted into the Russian army. Instead, he escaped more than 3,000 kilometers and reached Kyiv.

This is the story of Artem, who chose flight over serving the state that occupied his home. — Suspilne 1/ Image
Artem was born in Zaporizhzhia. At age five, his family moved to Sevastopol. In 2014, Russia occupied Crimea. From that moment on, his life unfolded inside a closed, repressive system that punished dissent and offered young people no real choices. 2/
At school, Artem once shouted “Glory to Ukraine” out of a window. Minutes later, a school psychologist entered the classroom. Artem was taken aside and told those words were “Nazi slogans” used during the alleged “killing of children in Donbas.” 3/

Leva, Ukrainian marine infantry just came back after a concussion.

Leva: I walked onto the position. Snow still lay there. Blood stains showed through it.

Crimson drops spread on the white slope. A drone buzzed “bzzzz”. I stared at those stains, and it burned me, reports UP. 1/ Image
Leva: The dugout smelled of urine, smoke, and dust. A Russian drone had just killed a buddy there. I came back from a concussion.

My eardrums did not heal. Sleep broke. Paranoia hit. The mortar kept landing closer and closer. 2/
Leva: We had one radio. The guys in the trench held it. I put my rifle near me, then pushed it away. God forbid I get minused again. I pictured a grenade in the dark. I ran out and asked: All right guys? 3/
