Ben Wallace: Russia allocated $1.8B in 2024 to misinformation campaigns in the West, aiming to undermine support and paint Ukraine as hopeless.

They haven't been successful. We should take stock of where Russia is: not as strong as they pretend. Russian oil — $36 a barrel. 1/
Wallace: Zelenskyy's been dealing with corruption, he needs to do more on it but you can see the failure of Russian efforts despite $1.8B [in propaganda]. Public opinion across Europe is still high in favor of defending Ukraine. 2/
Wallace: We've seen people arrested in the UK with links to the Russian intelligence. We've seen the alleged firebombing of properties. We saw the DHL plot where bombs through DHL went off in warehouses. Putin's trying to say to the West he's coming for them. 3X

Lasar’s Group — one of Ukraine’s most lethal drone units has destroyed over $12B in Russian equipment.

Suspilne interviewed Roman “Fish,” a commander credited with 500+ armored kills from Kupiansk to Pokrovsk. 1/ Image
Fish joined Lasar’s Group almost from day one. The unit scaled from a few pilots to dozens and became a model of 2025 warfare:

“A small autonomous strike group can replace an entire machine of a regular army.”

They combine recon, heavy bombers, FPV and engineering. 2/
He explains why civilians dominate the unit:

“We’re not career soldiers. Like in civilian life, we focus on results, not procedures.”

This mindset let them adapt faster than Russia’s centralized, bureaucratic drone programs. 3/

Putin: After the Alaska talks, the U.S. paused negotiations on Trump’s peace plan because Ukraine rejected it.

That produced a new 28-point version. We have the text, but the U.S. didn’t discuss it with us.

[Ukraine obviously rejects capitulation.]

1/
Putin: Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine was discussed before the Alaska meeting. The U.S. asked us to accept certain compromises and “show flexibility.”

In Anchorage we confirmed that, despite difficulties, we agreed to those proposals and were ready to show that flexibility.

2/
Putin: The U.S. still cannot get Ukraine to agree. Ukraine says no. Ukraine and its European allies “dream” of a strategic defeat of Russia because they lack real battlefield information.

[Ukraine will defend its land and sovereignty and no one can force another choice.]

Zelenskyy goes all in.

Zelenskyy: Our choice is our dignity vs risking losing [the US] support.

It is a 28-point “peace” vs an extremely hard winter.

We asked to live without freedom, dignity, and justice. We are asked to trust [Russia], which has betrayed us already twice. 1/
Zelenskyy: [The US] asks to give an answer if we agree to this.

But I already answered in 2019 when I became president and swore an oath to protect Ukraine, its sovereignty and independence, people's rights, and justice. 2/
Zelenskyy: We will work on diplomacy. We will rely on EU support. We will not allow Russia to depict us as dealing with the peace process. But we will not betray Ukraine. 3/

The deal is pro-Russian but might be the only deal Ukraine can ever get given the US and Europe are unwilling to fund Ukraine

Ukraine is forced to give up territory, stay out of NATO, weaken its military, accept a vague U.S. guarantee and give Russia amnesty. 1/
Here is it point by point:

1. Ukraine’s sovereignty “will be confirmed,” according to the plan.

2. A comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine, and Europe, declaring all ambiguities of the last 30 years settled. 2/
