🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸PUTIN & TRUMP REWRITE THE RULES OF GREAT POWER POLITICS IN ALASKA
The Anchorage summit could pave the way for peace in Ukraine and Russia-US rapprochement for years to come.
💬 Dmitry Suslov, a prominent Russian international affairs expert, explains why.
🧵👇
1️⃣NORMALIZATION BEYOND UKRAINE
The meeting “gave impetus” to Russia-US normalization on all fronts – not just in Ukraine, but issues ranging from strategic stability and arms control to economic cooperation.
2️⃣CHANCE FOR REAL PEACE
Trump’s calls to Zelensky and European leaders immediately after the summit signals “negotiations were conducted on specific conditions for a final peace settlement,” not the vague ‘ceasefire as a precondition’ demanded by Ukraine and the EU.
🚨🇷🇺🇺🇸 Putin-Trump Summit: Russia has all the momentum
Scott Ritter explains why Putin is walking into this meeting holding all the military, political, and economic cards.
Let’s break it down 🧵
1️⃣ Battlefield situation ahead of Putin-Trump summit:
🔶Ukrainian defenses in the Donbass are fraying amid relentless Russian pressure
🔶Russians have become masters of drone warfare, and Ukrainian manpower shortage is becoming critical
2️⃣ If Trump wants an immediate ceasefire, then the fastest way is to have Ukraine to fully withdraw its troops from Russia’s Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions.
Otherwise, Russian soldiers will push them out by force.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s military is getting absolutely hammered, both on the battlefield and behind the frontlines.
Here’s what you need to know:🧵👇🏻
1️⃣ZELENSKY’S OUT OF TOUCH
Zelensky is putting a brave face on the upcoming summit, issuing chest-thumping vows of ‘no concessions’ even as European allies like Merz mull a ‘contact line’ starting point for negotiations.
On the front, however, it may no longer be up to them.
2️⃣FRONTLINE REALITY
Since January, Russia has:
• Destroyed Ukraine’s Kursk invasion force and freed the region
• Taken Chasov Yar, a key Donbass stronghold
• Encircled Krasnoarmeysk, a vital part of Ukraine's defensive line
• Made significant moves in Kharkov region
🚨🇮🇳🇷🇺 If India acquires Russia's 5th-gen Su-57, it will be a nightmare for European defense contractors.
Where there's a Su-57, Western aircraft simply can't compete.
Russia has already offered the tech — the ball is in India's court.
🧵👇🏻
1️⃣ SU-57 DOMINATES THE SKY
🔺 Mach 2 speed (F-35 crawls at Mach 1.6)
🔺 400km R-37M missiles (hypersonic-ready)
🔺 AI co-pilot (thinks faster than human pilots)
🔺Planned Su-57 networks to integrate UAVs of ALL classes
🔺Dominating entire theaters alone
2️⃣ COMBAT TESTED
Russia's Su-57 has proven itself in Syria & Ukraine, taking on air defenses, dogfights, and precision strikes on key targets.
NO other 5th-gen fighter comes close to its real combat experience.
