1/ The Kyiv Independent is reporting that Trump envoy Steve Witkoff is "running a shadow operation inside the White House in an effort to sideline pro-Ukraine officials", cutting out Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in an effort supported by Vice President J.D. Vance. ⬇️ Image
2/ According to sources quoted by the Kyiv Independent, Witkoff is "running a broader operation with [Russian envoy Kirill] Dmitriev, trying to sideline the pro-Ukraine voices in the Trump administration."
3/ An unnamed White House communications official "is seen as "one of Witkoff's people," feeding media talking points favorable to Witkoff and his Russia-friendly approach."
4/ According to a source, the White House is "a mess of competing factions, each trying to present their version of events as the official administration line."
5/ Although White House spokesperson Katherine Levitt has claimed that Witkoff and Rubio have been working together on the proposed peace plan, this is said to be untrue.
6/ The Kyiv Independent says that according to "a high-ranking U.S. official who spoke on conditions of anonymity, the current plan is supported by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, while other top U.S. officials [including Rubio] were cut out of the negotiations process." /end

1/ Russian lawyers say that gamers could face up to six years in prison or charges of treason if they stream S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 or wear a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. T-shirt, following the Russian government's designation of its Ukrainian developers as an 'undesirable organisation'. ⬇️
2/ The Russian Prosecutor General's Office added Kyiv-based GSC Game World to its list of 'undesirable organisations' on 18 November. The developer relocated many of its staff to Prague after the full-scale Russian invasion began in February 2022.
3/ Since then, GSC has raised $800,000 for the Ukrainian military via a charity sale of its games and has also encouraged its fans to make donations to Ukrainian military causes. This has been cited by the Prosecutor General's Office in its decision.

1/ Vladimir Putin is reported to be unhappy with the proposed Witkoff-Dimitriev peace plan for Ukraine. "Trump is in a hurry, and Vladimir Vladimirovich is not so much," says a Russian source. ⬇️
2/ The independent Russian news outlet Verstka reports that Russian diplomatic sources and sources close to the Kremlin consider the draft agreement to be "vague, in need of revision, and not fully implementable." They see it as merely a basis for a future agreement.
3/ According to a Russian Foreign Ministry source, the peace plan "is not ready ... in the form in which it is currently being discussed." He says that work still needs to be done on the wording and details.

When an American billionaire offers money to people from relatively poor countries (Serbian average monthly salary $1,329) for riling up and radicalising Americans, it's not surprising that they'll take up the offer

1/ In 2024, Vladimir Putin created a new programme called 'Time of Heroes' to train Russian soldiers and war veterans to be part of a "new elite" to lead Russia in the future. However, soldiers are finding that they are being declared to be deserters if they enroll in it. ⬇️ Image
2/ The 'Time of Heroes' programme was launched on 1 March 2024 after a speech by Putin in which he declared that participants in the Russian invasion of Ukraine should be given training to occupy leadership positions in the Russian government and state institutions.
3/ The 'heroes' are explicitly supposed to replace the officials who took office during the 1990s, before Putin took power. Commentators have observed that the programme is part of a general militarisation of Russian society and increasing Putin's own control over the state.

1/ Corrupt Russian military recruiters, police officers, local administrations, and – allegedly – drug dealers are said to be conspiring to recruit drug addicts, alcoholics and the mentally disabled to join the army, likely to profit from bounties and recruitment bonuses. ⬇️ Image
2/ Russian warblogger Anastasia Kashevarova has published a denunciation of what she calls "discrediting the army in the rear by its own people." She describes how people who are completely unsuited to military service are ending up in the army:
3/ "Military recruitment offices, local administrations, district police officers, and Roma profit from supplying incapacitated soldiers to the front, and the army ends up cleaning up the mess.

1/ Russian warblogger Roman Alekhin is very upset with @olliecarroll's recent piece in The Economist on infighting between Russian pro-war commentators. Some – including Alekhin – have been declared 'foreign agents' after falling out with the Kremlin. ⬇️
2/ Writing on his Telegram channel, Alekhin complains that the Economist had the cheek to lead the story with his own mugshot:
3/ "Today I was sent a link to The Economist, which placed my photo on its cover with the headline 'Russia’s militant bloggers are clashing with their own regime'"
