🎖️ 🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukraine's intelligence chief is mapping out a brutal,... decade-long path to a potential peace, warning that reconciliation with Russia will take at least ten years. While comparing the future to post-WWII Germany, Kyiv is making it clear that short-term peace is completely dead, and Ukraine is fully prepared for years of hard warfare. 🎖️ Kyrylo Budanov: "In ten years, Ukraine and Russia will reconcile again." 🗣️ The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine brought Germany as an example, with which European countries began to restore relations several years after World War II, despite the fact that the Nazis committed numerous evils. 🔹 At the same time, Budanov noted that restoring relations with the Russian Federation in the near future is impossible due to the war and new traumas. He also emphasized that if negotiations do not yield results, Ukraine is ready to continue the war for years.... In addition, Budanov stated that Kyiv does not even consider territorial concessions to Russia and believes that achieving peace is only possible through victory. 🏝️ The former head of military intelligence (GUR) also mentioned occupied Crimea: "Ukrainians living in Crimea should understand the gasoline shortage, interruptions in electricity and water supply, etc. All these inconveniences are for a great purpose. And the great purpose is—returning home." This long-game strategy signals to Moscow that Ukraine will never trade land for a quick ceasefire. By explicitly asking Crimeans to endure crippling resource shortages, Budanov is reinforcing that Kyiv views the peninsula as an active combat zone that will be squeezed until liberation, proving that Ukraine’s path to a just victory will be measured in years of collective sacrifice.

President Stubb: We are closer to peace than at... any time during the war. But at the same time, we cannot be sure whether Russia is ready for peace. Peace is most often a compromise. We must prepare ourselves for the fact that not all parts of a peace agreement will likely meet our sense of justice. However, we will do everything we can to ensure that Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity are preserved. Ukraine is part of a free and democratic Europe now and in the future. We will continue to support Ukraine. We will not tire. We will seek a solution. We will work with our allies to ensure that Russia never again attacks Ukraine.show more

Russian Telegram channels report that there is a total... fuel shortage in Russia, with about 360 gas stations shutting down due to a lack of gasoline. Supply disruptions have affected the Moscow, Leningrad, Ryazan, and Nizhny Novgorod regions, among others. It is reported that the situation is felt most severely in southern Russia, where the number of gas stations has decreased by 14%, and in the temporarily occupied Crimea and Sevastopol - by nearly half. At the same time, Sergey Aksenov, so-called "head" of the Russian-occupied Crimea, called on residents of the peninsula to be patient and stated that the situation is under control and will soon be resolved, with gasoline once again becoming available. From "Kyiv in three days" to "gas shortage"...show more

Trump: “We are pretty close to a deal. Ukraine... has to agree to it. Maybe they will say no.” I said this almost half a year ago: “Trump doesn’t care about Ukraine. To him, Ukraine is merely an obstacle to a strong relationship with russia. To eliminate this obstacle, he first has to ensure that russia regained control of the Kursk region. The next step is for Trump to reunite with his good friend — the war criminal Putin — and rebuild U.S.-russia relations. For that to happen, he must either force Ukraine to capitulate (which Ukraine will not accept) or blame Ukraine for refusing “peace.” Predictably, Putin will propose unacceptable peace terms at Ukraine’s expense. Trump will then claim Putin is ready for a ceasefire, but when Ukraine rejects the terms, Trump will accuse Ukraine of not wanting “peace.” He will scapegoat Ukraine and blame Zelensky for the failure of negotiations.”show more

Zelenskyy at a joint press conference with Macron: "Russia... started this war, and Russia is the only country that can stop it." Of course, only Russia can stop this war. Because only Russia can win this war and return the territory of the former Ukraine to Russia. This is the only way this war can end. Until that happens, Russia's enemies will not let it stop and will force it to fight until victory.show more

Today in Kyiv, a Summit is taking place that... has brought together 24 countries, primarily from Europe. All of our European neighbors are represented: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, and Belarus. We all support the aspiration of the Belarusian people to free themselves from Russian interference, and we know that Russia is now trying to drag Belarus even deeper into this war against Ukraine. We value every expression of support from Belarusians for a free Ukraine, and we know that the day will come when there will once again be good-neighborly relations between our states – based on the real independence of both Ukraine and Belarus from Moscow. This is exactly what we discussed today with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and her team, who are visiting Kyiv. Ukraine has never been a threat to Belarus. And we are grateful to those Belarusians who stand with Ukraine – now, when the fate of both our independence and the independence of every nation that borders Russia is being decided.show more

‼️🇺🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇹🇷🇬🇧 BIG | Four countries are ready to send... peacekeeping forces to Ukraine. Mikhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the President of Ukraine, stated that France, Germany, Turkey, and the United Kingdom are ready to send peacekeeping forces to Ukraine after the war ends. According to him, ensuring peace without international partners is impossible, and the ongoing war is already forcing Europe towards a strict transformation: if the European Union wants to survive under the new reality, it will have to give up illusions and become more militaristic. Turkey has previously named three conditions for sending its troops: a complete ceasefire, clear mission objectives and mandate, and the distribution of responsibilities among countries. Without these conditions, as stated in Ankara, the mission will not be carried out. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the EU's plans "fantasies," and Vladimir Putin declared that any foreign military present in Ukraine will be considered a "legitimate target."

UNCONFIRMED: Ukraine has claimed that Russia🇷🇺 launched an ICBM... at targets in Dnipropetrovsk, the reported footage shows multiple warheads landing. If this is true, this is the first time Russia has used an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile in war, and the first time in history that an ICBM has been used in warfare. Russia may have just demonstrated that for 2 years, Russia hadn’t even begun to bring out the most powerful weapons in its arsenal. With NATO hellbent on using Ukraine as a launchpad for long-range missile strikes against Russia… Ukraine is about to find out the true destructive extent of Russia’s capabilitiesshow more

Already in Britain, they have stated that everyone needs... to prepare for war with Russia. In Germany, young people have declared that it is better to live under Putin than to die. In Poland, during surveys, the majority of Poles stated that they would leave the country in the event of the start of a war. Now it's interesting to see how the subjects of the Crown will react. What was it they said in the EU, that Ukraine should become Europe's shield? It's been 4 years since Ukraine has been that shield, while in Europe they are dealing with issues of Ahmedov and Mukhammedov, who will gladly become the new backbone of Europe's future already in the next 10-15 years Eh, how wonderful Europe is.show more

When we say that the aggressor must not receive... any reward for the war, so that peace can truly last, everyone must understand – these are not just words. Unfortunately, the world already had the chance to verify this twelve years ago. Russia’s war against Ukraine began with the occupation of our Crimea, and the world effectively turned a blind eye to this. The leaders back then showed little interest in the protests and resistance in Crimea and in Ukraine’s overall sentiment. The world advised Ukraine to stay silent. That is exactly why Putin came to believe he could wage a much larger war and confront the West even more aggressively. Now, every year on February 26 – the Day of Resistance to the Occupation of Crimea – we remember this global lesson, honouring those who did not stay silent and did not falter in the face of Russian aggression, and we insist that holding the aggressor accountable for war is one of the strongest security guarantees – one of the strongest prerequisites for lasting peace. I thank everyone around the world who supports us in this, participates in the work of our Crimea Platform and other international formats that remind the world about Crimea and the meaning of its occupation by Russia. I thank everyone who helps Ukraine resist Russian repression in Crimea, assists us in returning people from captivity, and prevents the occupying regime from consolidating its power. Russian presence on our peninsula serves only war, and nothing else. There must be peace, and therefore Crimea is Ukraine, and the world must always recognize this fact. Qırım evine qaytmalıdır! Glory to Ukraine!show more

Lviv. Protests against Fedorov's resignation continue. Now all experts... and even the military say that the main reason for Fedorov's resignation is corruption, because he did not allow money to be stolen. They also say that during all the years of the war he is the only person who created a step-by-step plan for Ukraine's victory. In addition, he destroyed the bureaucracy and digitized everything. And his partnership with General Drapatiy would be a bombshell against Russia. Anyone who prevents this is acting against the interests of Ukraine.show more

One of the favorite ongoing series among Ukrainians and... many of our international friends has become watching Russian panic unfold in real time. 😁❤️ For a second day, Putin stands in Moscow insisting that everything is fine, that the economy is stable, and that the war is not affecting Russia. Meanwhile, ordinary Russians are suddenly asking: “What happened?” “What is going on?” “What caused this?” And the most astonishing part? The war has been going on for more than four years. Only now are many people beginning to realize that there is a war. For years, millions of Ukrainians have lived under missile attacks, drone strikes, occupation, deportations, and constant fear. Entire cities have been destroyed. Thousands of lives have been taken. Yet many Russians remained silent as long as the consequences were happening to someone else. What concerns them now is not the suffering inflicted on others, but the inconvenience reaching their own lives. That is why Ukraine needs continued support. Support sanctions. Support international law. Support accountability. Support Ukraine. Because this war is not only about Ukraine. It is about whether aggression, terror, and the destruction of civilian lives can be rewarded in the 21st century. Glory to Ukraine. 🇺🇦 Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 💙💛 #russia #warshow more

Peskov: "Russia has never discussed and will never discuss... the topic of exchanging its territory. And, of course, Ukrainian forces will be expelled from this territory.

Zelensky arrives in Germany. Today he meets with the... US negotiating team — Witkoff and Kushner According to the Ukrainian president, the United States has not yet responded to Kyiv’s new proposals for a peace plan. Zelensky says the key issue is real security guarantees, so that the situation of the Budapest Memorandum is not repeated. Not all partners support NATO membership, so a possible compromise could be bilateral security guarantees. Zelensky confirmed that the US is proposing a compromise on Donbas: Ukraine withdraws its troops from Donetsk Oblast, while Russia does not enter the area. Kyiv considers the option “we stay where we stand” to be fair, but Moscow rejects it and demands a full withdrawal of Ukrainian forces. Zelensky emphasizes that if the US applies strong pressure on Russia, the Kremlin will agree to a compromise. If the current talks collapse, Ukraine will seek another path to ending the war. On Friday, the Ukrainian president will travel to Poland on an official visit.show more

Excellent talk with Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський after... a full day of meetings in Kyiv and a touching and inspiring commemoration of Ukraine’s independence.
