Trump should make the return of Ukraine’s abducted children his non-negotiable first demand to test Putin’s commitment to peace. He claimed he could secure the return of 19,500+ children.

Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska is the ideal moment to press this issue, NYpost. 1/ Image
The UN and European Court of Human Rights recognize Russia’s child abductions as war crimes.

Russia created an online “catalog” of kidnapped children sorted by age, eye color, siblings, and obedience. Mykola Kuleba called it “state-sponsored child trafficking”. 2/
Russia’s database shows clear intent to keep, not return, kidnapped Ukrainian children.

Congress passed bipartisan resolutions urging their return before any peace deal. At June Istanbul talks, Ukraine shared a list of 339 children as a good-faith gesture. 3/

Operation “Spider Web” [took down 34% of Russian strategic aviation] started one month late because the recruited Russian drivers got drunk during Easter, May holidays, and May 9th — Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Malyuk.

We couldn't reach anyone. All unavailable.

1/
Malyuk: Today, our country must transform into a steel porcupine.

This includes increasing the number of personnel, their training, boosting air defense, UAV systems, ground robotic complexes, and all possible counterintelligence measures.

2/
Malyuk: Sea Baby drones [hit frigate “Admiral Makarov” and much more] are now multipurpose, with FPV systems, machine guns, and capabilities for combat, mining, and underwater missions.

We're constantly improving them. 3/

“Army is your prison” — Russian enlistment officer to forcibly mobilized Ukrainian from Kherson region.

Pshenichny: Russians "found" weed in my house, called it mine. Judge gave me 12.5 years, I signed some documents. After that military enlistment took me. 1/
Pshenichny: Russians don’t ask if you want to be assault troop — you have no choice.

One friend, who was also charged, chose army himself. I signed from sentence years, he chose army so he wouldn’t stay here. 2/
Pshenichny: Russians tried to take my child, asked who she is, her mom, her dad. We have only Ukrainian docs, but they wanted Russian.

They take kids if mother alone, no home, no dad. From maternity hospital to Russia — once taken, they will never see her again. 3/

Q: Can you convince Putin to stop bombing people in Ukraine?

Trump: Pobably no.

I’ve had a lot of good conversations with him. Then I see a rocket hit a nursing home or apartment and people dead in the street. 1/
Trump: If the first meeting goes okay, we’ll have a second one, maybe immediately, with Putin, Zelenskyy, and me.

The first sets the table; the second could work it out. If I don’t get the answers we have to have, there may be no second meeting. 2/
Trump: We had a very good call with Zelenskyy. I would rate it a 10, very friendly. I’m going to meet Putin, then call Zelenskyy, then leaders. A second meeting may be more productive. 3/

Zelenskyy and EU leaders met Trump before his Alaska talks with Putin to set demands - Politico.

- No land talks before ceasefire
- No sanctions relief for Russia
- Russia must pay war damages ($500bn–$1tn)
- Ukraine joins NATO/EU
- Russia returns POWs and abducted children

1/ Image
Kyiv’s first demand is a durable ceasefire before any land discussions.

Zelenskyy says giving up Donbas would dismantle key defences and open Russia’s path to Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, and Kharkiv. Lithuanian FM Landsbergis calls NATO’s “de facto control” idea a betrayal. 2/
Ukraine seeks €500bn+ in reparations, using €200bn in frozen Russian assets in Belgium as leverage.

Merz backs the freeze until Moscow pays. Kyiv also demands return of 20,000 abducted children and all POWs. 3/
