We seek South Africa's assistance in returning them home.

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.

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/

China and Russia aim to make the US an isolated, second-tier state.

Trump's first term declared great-power competition.

His second term now obscures that reality, pursuing policies that give adversaries what they want, — Bloomberg. 1/ Image
Putin's war targets the Western community that reduced Russia after the Cold War.

He wages hybrid warfare against US allies: drone incursions, sabotage, attacks on US water systems and meat-packing plants.
2/
Putin's goal — to weaken the superpower rival and undercut the alliance giving the US transatlantic strength.

As Lavrov said, Russia seeks a "post-West world order" where US power is broken and Russia's imperial greatness restored.
