Zelensky is systematically sabotaging Trump’s peace plan An assassination... attempt has been carried out in Moscow against Vladimir Alexeyev, Deputy Chief of Russia’s military intelligence (GRU). Alexeyev has been hospitalized and is reported to be in serious condition. There is nothing unusual about what is happening. Zelensky continues to act using methods that reflect escalation and destabilization. It is particularly telling that such events occur precisely during so-called negotiations which could theoretically produce results — if their primary point were Zelensky’s removal from power. As long as this does not happen, escalation will continue and any real prospects for a genuine peace process will be undermined. This is yet another terrorist act. Moreover, it represents another blow to the efforts of Donald Trump and other political actors attempting to build a path toward peace. While some are trying to create space for dialogue, Zelensky consistently destroys any real prospects for negotiations.show more

So, following the negotiations, Trump said that if there... is no deal, nothing will change: the war and the deaths will simply continue. The drug addict Zelensky smiled contentedly after that. This is exactly what he wants. After the meeting, Trump repeatedly noted that Zelensky’s team really enjoyed the meal of French fries, and that Zelensky kept saying “how gorgeous Mar-a-Lago estate is.” (It’s interesting whether Trump asked about the gold toilet ) Otherwise, everything is exactly as I said earlier: At the negotiations, Zelensky dug his heels in over the Donbas issue. The war party had prepared the ground in Ukraine for this before the trip: Trump mentioned that territorial issues can be decided not only by a referendum — which Zelensky the sniffy was ranting about — but also by parliament. However, to make sure Zelensky would not make a deal with Trump, a staged spectacle with NABU “suspicions” to MPs was organized in Ukraine a day before. After official indictments, there will be no votes for such decisions at all at the Parliament (by the way, there have still been no official announcements of any charges). So, the war party gained a few more months. European leaders now have time to show whether they can find the promised 90 bln for the war. My forecast is no. This is also part of the puzzle explaining why the peace talks were postponed until February, as I wrote earlier. To sum it up: Zelensky and his lapdogs ate French fries with chicken broth at Mar-a-Lago - and rejected peace, condemning Ukraine and Ukrainians to a slow death going forward.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

❗️🇮🇷🇺🇸 U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: 📌 “The... strikes on Iran that will be carried out tonight will be clear and strong. If they happen tomorrow night, they will be strong and clear. Throughout this entire process, Iran has the opportunity to go for a deal. That is exactly the main point.” Hegseth’s remarks combine a firm threat of imminent military action with an explicit offer of a diplomatic off-ramp. This dual approach — maximum pressure paired with the possibility of negotiations — is characteristic of the current U.S. strategy toward Iran. The coming hours will be decisive in determining whether escalation or de-escalation prevails. Video is generated by grok AIshow more

Situation inside Ukraine can be characterized as PANIC. Anti-corruption... agency just opened cases against 70 MPs from Zelensky’s party. His entire team is leaving him - being seen next to Zelensky is now toxic. Neither Trump nor Putin want to meet Zelensky. Everyone knows he’s been given the black mark and is seen globally as corrupt. Many Ukrainian politicians are already quietly fleeing to Moscow in an attempt to negotiate. They hope that the Russians and Americans will come and shower everyone with money for the elections. It won't happen that way. According to my information, the US and Russia are already discussing possible candidates for the position of President. I cannot make the names public.show more

Today a group of Muslims prayed next to the... Ministry of Defence, facing the Iraq and Afghanistan memorial. As I have said before, choosing to pray in this way in public is a political act. It is a social statement and, yes, it is an act of domination. Anybody who understands Islamism understands that the domination of public spaces is part of the modus operandi. It is done so Islamists can show who is in charge - and to show other Muslims and the wider public that the authorities will bend to their will. There is quite obviously no need to pray here. The decision to do so is symbolic and pointed. It is not welcome. We have freedom of religion in this country, which is why there are mosques. But we are not a Muslim country and this is not welcome. It should be stopped.show more

🚨​🇮🇱🇺🇲 At this very moment, a phone call is... taking place between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, which was preceded by Netanyahu's meeting with the Security Cabinet. ​It is reported that the main topics of the conversation are a potential agreement with Iran and Israel's announced expansion of military operations in Lebanon, which, in turn, is viewed as a hindrance to Trump's peace plan. ​Presumably, Donald Trump will urge Netanyahu to refrain from launching strikes on Beirut, the heart of Hezbollah, in order to avoid provoking Iran and derailing the negotiations.

Take a listen to the sounds above my home—and... thousands of Ukrainian homes—this morning. Air defense is repelling Russian strikes. Ukraine has been under massive air attack since last night, with ballistic, cruise, and cluster missiles, as well as hundreds of drones, targeting people throughout the country. While Russia claims to be preparing for meetings to discuss peace, what it actually does is attack, terrorize, and destroy. Speaking of meetings, Russia has not so far sent us, Türkiye, the United States, or anyone else its so-called "memorandum." No one even knows what they are going to talk about. Instead, Russia launches new deadly attacks against Ukraine. Unlike the mythical "memorandum," we can clearly see and hear Russia’s true “messages”, its missiles and drones. Everyone needs to hear and see that Russia clearly rejects peace, ceasefire, and any constructive proposals from around the world. Russia will only become serious about peace once it feels another level of pressure.show more

President Zelensky is openly saying what we all had... already guessed about the actions of President Trump’s team regarding Ukraine: behind the beautiful picture of supposed support for Ukraine and the smiling photos from their latest meeting, there is actually a Trump-Putin plan to put Ukraine in such a defenseless position (without protection from Russia’s ballistic missiles) so that Ukraine would be forced to capitulate. In other words, exactly what Trump has been demanding from Ukraine for the benefit of Russia since the beginning of his new presidency.show more

🎖️ 🇺🇦🇷🇺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.

Alaska. Putin and Trump. The meeting that was both... awaited and feared. The outcome. By Roman Alekhin To discuss this further, the key point to understand is this: Two and a half hours behind closed doors is too little for leaders of nuclear powers if they are just starting a conversation—but too much if they were merely posing for cameras. This means the real work happened earlier—quiet, working discussions “behind the door” that never made it into the official communiqué. These are what stopped Trump from imposing secondary sanctions; this is where the exchange of conditions took place, terms that won’t be disclosed until both leaders decide the time is right. I suspect Syria was discussed, as well as the “Trump Bridge” (instead of Zangezur), the Middle East, and much more that isn’t yet visible to the naked eye. The public part? Pure theater. The point wasn’t to negotiate in front of the world or sign something, like Trump did with Armenia and Azerbaijan—minor players, important only tactically. The point was to send a signal: the presidents of Russia and the U.S. are shaking hands and smiling again, no knives behind their backs. This signals that a new reality has arrived, one that Europe, Ukraine, and everyone accustomed to building their worldview around the idea of “Russia’s isolation” will now have to reckon with—including those within our own countries. Trump’s comments on Fox News were deliberately vague—he’s a master at leaving room for maneuver. But the key takeaway is clear: the pressure will now shift from Moscow to Kyiv and Brussels. This is evident even in the final format—not a word about a “no-conditions” ceasefire, which was Europe and Zelensky’s main demand. This means the discussion on a final peace has been postponed, but within a clear framework: Zelensky must exit the war in a way that lets Europe save face. Russia’s red lines have long been clear: non-aligned status for Ukraine, return of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions within their administrative borders (not the frontlines), lifting of sanctions, and real democracy in Ukraine without persecution of the Russian language or the Orthodox Church. These conditions will prolong the conflict for some time. Zelensky will need to stage a fighting retreat to the administrative borders—this will allow Europe to save face. But the logic is already visible: Ukraine’s defeat will be framed not as a “crushing” but as a “peaceful settlement.” Six months—that’s the timeframe in which we’ll see the dynamics. If the front accelerates, the deal is working. If it stalls, not all pieces are in place yet. But the main thing is already done: Russia is back in the game, not through gray negotiating formats but through a handshake on American soil—even if it’s chilly Alaska. (Though we have warm ties to the region, as seen in the wreath-laying for the “Heroes of ALSIB” and the meeting with Archbishop Alexy of Sitka and Alaska.) For the world, this is an image where smiles are worth more than signatures. For Trump—a chance to show he’s the only one who can “make peace.” For Putin—a symbolic victory: Russia is not a besieged enemy but an equal player. For Europe and Ukraine—the beginning of a painful new phase where they’ll have to accept the inevitable. In these talks, there were no winners or losers in Alaska. In Alaska, both presidents won, while those who weren’t there—lost, or at the very least, didn’t win.show more

I had a meeting with U.S. Senators Sen. Jeanne... Shaheen and Senator Chris Coons. We discussed support for Ukraine, the peace process, and President Trump’s ceasefire initiative, which could be a step towards a dignified peace. The recent attacks against our people show that Russia is not interested in peace and continues to escalate. That is why it is important to increase pressure to prevent Moscow from expanding the production of its means of terror. The sanctions bill proposed by Senators Graham and Blumenthal can ensure this. I thank the senators for supporting it. I am grateful for bipartisan support in Congress. We appreciate all the defense aid provided by the United States. Ukraine is ready to engage in mutually beneficial and constructive cooperation — to purchase American weapons and jointly produce Ukrainian ones. I am confident that this approach will serve the national interests of both countries.show more

⚡ The US is pressuring Zelensky to give up... Donbas This was reported to Politico by a senior European official Kyiv is firmly opposed: any peace deal must be based on the current front line, not on the Kremlin’s demands. However, Washington continues to push, trying to speed up an agreement: “The Americans operate in a simple way: Russia demands that Ukraine give up territory, and they keep thinking about how to make that happen.” According to Politico, Ukrainian forces currently control about 30% of Donbas, including Kramatorsk and Sloviansk — cities with a combined population of over 100,000. 📷 Meanwhile, Zelensky has left Downing Street, where he met today with Merz, Starmer and Macron. The European leaders made no statements after the talks on the proposed peace plan for Ukraine.show more

🇵🇱”POLAND CALLS FOR NO-FLY ZONE OVER UKRAINE” The foreign... minister of Poland has called for a no-fly zone over Ukraine to defend Europe against Russian strikes, amid the ongoing fallout from last week's drone incursion into Poland. I consider it unlikely that NATO will take action regarding Ukrainian airspace in the upcoming months. However, it is crucial to remember that Putin is testing NATO's boundaries. Thus far, NATO's response to Russia has been weak, and this will likely lead to an escalation. A powerful signal from NATO to Russia could lead to an escalation as well. However, there remains a chance that Putin will eventually see that the price will be too high, In the event of a conflict between Russia and NATO, there will be no winners. Both sides will face annihilation.show more
