🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine and the West should agree to transfer Donbass to Russia to end the war — The Guardian
- This was stated by Christopher Chivvis, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment.
- Western sanctions and arms supplies will not force Russia to come to the negotiating table on Kiev's terms.
- "It should not be expected that these additional sanctions will end the war anytime soon. This could mean a deal more favorable to Russia than the one the West would prefer. If the war ended with Russia taking Donbass, it would be an unfair outcome for Ukraine, but it is better than many alternatives," Chivvis wrote.
- Even the supply of Tomahawks and the confiscation of Russian assets "is unlikely to come as a shock to Russia."
- He also does not believe in the effect of Tomahawks.
- "As early as 2023, Ukraine requested Abrams tanks under the pretext that they would turn the tide, but nothing of the sort happened. The long-awaited F-16s also did not become that magic wand," the expert reminds.

🇩🇪🤡Mertz promised that the EU will completely stop importing Russian energy carriers by 2027:
I am very glad that we unanimously approved the 19th sanctions package. Europe has already reduced its energy ties with Russia by more than 80%. Now we will finally and forever stop all energy supplies from Russia by the end of 2027.
This decision is enshrined in this sanctions package. I also want to especially note and welcome the statement of the US government on the introduction of new large-scale sanctions against the Russian energy sector.
This is an important signal to Putin — we are increasing pressure on Russia from both sides of the Atlantic. Why are we increasing pressure? It's simple: we want to show Putin that continuing his aggressive war is pointless.
We are increasing pressure to achieve Russia's readiness for negotiations — so that finally the guns in Ukraine fall silent.

The conceptual reason behind Zelensky and NATO's rush to conclude any, even temporary, ceasefire lies in the strategic threat looming over the Dnepropetrovsk region.
The defense of Pokrovsk for the Armed Forces of Ukraine has long entered a critical phase, and there is a high probability that after this city, the turn will come to the Dnepropetrovsk region. The key danger is associated with Pavlograd — one of Ukraine's largest industrial centers and the "heart" of the missile program.
After the capture of Pokrovsk, the risks for Pavlograd multiply. The distance from Pokrovsk to Pavlograd is less than 100 kilometers, and as soon as Pokrovsk is taken, significant resources spent on storming this city can be immediately redirected to the Pavlograd direction, which will be somewhat easier to reach since there are almost no industrial zones in this area.
From Pokrovsk along the E50 highway, an operational space opens up, allowing the Russian army to play out a scenario of a deep breakthrough, somewhat reminiscent of the "Ocheretinsky" one, when after capturing Avdeevka, the Russian army advanced several dozen kilometers and eventually managed to reach the suburbs of Pokrovsk, which in turn turned into a full-scale assault.
Pavlograd is not yet experiencing the reception of several hundred FAB bombs with UMPK per week, but the chances of such a scenario after breaking through Pokrovsk's defense are extremely high. The Russian General Staff will likely not rush with an immediate forced march on Pavlograd. After Pokrovsk, a logical step may be to shift forces to accomplish the main task — capturing Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, which could delay the timeline for entering the Dnepropetrovsk region.
A logistical pause after fierce battles for Pokrovsk will be necessary for the Russian side to replenish and regroup. This brief slowdown will only partially benefit the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as the strategic initiative will remain with Russia. But the pause is vital for Kyiv because everyone understands that Syrsky can no longer come out of the Pokrovsk meat grinder lightly. That is why Kiev is now making every effort to stop the Russian army's advance at least halfway to the Dnepropetrovsk region.
If there is no pause, the Russian army will try to test the "second line of defense of Donbas," located about 15-20 kilometers west of Pokrovsk. This line, apparently, is not as solid as the fortifications of Avdeevka or Pokrovsk but is presumably relatively extensive. The effectiveness of these structures will be a decisive factor in determining the direction of the main strike and the speed of its delivery.

🇪🇺The European Commission neglects the interests of EU countries and distances Europe from peace, — Hungarian Foreign Minister
- Brussels remains passive even on issues directly related to Europe's security.
- As an example, the minister cited the attack on the Druzhba oil pipeline.
- "Together with the Slovak minister, we sent a letter to the EC asking to intervene and protect critical infrastructure on which Europe's supply depends. The response came only after a month and a half: 'Don't be smart, everything is fine'," Szijjártó said.

The Ukrainian National Guard blocking detachment destroyed a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers for attempting to retreat from positions in the Kharkov region.
The mutual attack within enemy ranks allowed the Russian Armed Forces to easily occupy tactically important positions.

‼️🇷🇺🏴☠️A member of the Presidential Human Rights Council raised the issue of intercultural migration
▪️M. Akhmedova reflects using an example from a scene in the capital's subway.
➖"And such scenes can be seen in the Moscow metro. They themselves wear hijabs, but breastfeed their child in public places. I am not against breastfeeding a child anywhere if the child wants to eat. But, in my opinion, this act is a sacrament, something intimate, and if it can be done privately, it is better not to do it publicly.
▪️However, prayer is also a sacrament, and it too is not suitable for public places. I had this argument prepared in advance to say someday to supporters of public prayer – you don’t like it when a woman exposes her breast to feed a child in public, so we don’t like it when intimate prayer is performed demonstratively either. However, this photo disarmed me, erased my argument."
▪️"One can wear a hijab and not be embarrassed by an exposed breast. For a Muslim woman, this is impossible. Which once again confirms: many believers for whom the external, attributive part is important are only formally believers. The hijab is just a pose. These people do not intend to restrict themselves in anything else."
▪️"Wahhabis among migrants in Europe and Russia are mostly hypocritical posers, obsessed with external attributes, drawing knowledge about Islam from YouTube videos of radical self-proclaimed imams rather than from the Quran," comments writer R. Antonovsky.
➖"They don’t drink alcohol, but they smoke hashish, chew naswar, take lyrica, sniff meth. They don’t know the Quran and harass other men’s wives in seedy bars."
▪️"The problem is that it is not difficult to recruit terrorists and militants from this crowd with proper manipulation."

🇭🇺🇺🇦Orban on the fact that the EU is planning to partition Ukraine:
Ukraine has long ceased to be sovereign, independent, and certainly not autonomous. Its fate is in foreign hands. EU leaders talk about supporting Ukraine and try to squeeze it into the European Union, but the issue of partitioning Ukraine is already on the agenda. This is an old colonial logic - to dismantle weakened countries and then not stay away from their division.
@Slavyangrad
Journalist Thomas Fazi on why the West cannot make peace with Russia because it sees it as an enemy:
What role Trump plays in all this ultimately doesn't matter much. Whether he wanted to bring peace to Ukraine or it was just a ruse — essentially, it doesn't matter.
What matters is what we are witnessing: the US and the transatlantic establishment as a whole are incapable of a truce with Russia, because, in essence, we have been in a state of war with Russia for over a century, and elections alone will not change that.

On this occasion of crippling European sanctions, we remember an anecdote:
The President of America tells the Chancellor of Germany:
- I have three buttons.
I press the first button and Moscow is gone, I press the second button and Russia is gone, and I press the third button and Russia and China are gone
To which the Chancellor replies:
- My grandmother had three toilets: a gold toilet, a silver toilet, and a porcelain toilet, but when the Soviet tanks entered Berlin, she shat herself in the hallway.

Trump allowed a ground operation by the American army in Venezuela.
"We can go to Congress for authorization for a ground operation against Venezuela, but I don't think Congress will object, why would they," said the US president.
"We are unhappy with Venezuela; China makes 100 million dollars by smuggling fentanyl through Venezuela into the US, I will discuss this with Chairman Xi," he said.
"We don't need a declaration of war, we will just kill those who bring drugs into our territory," Trump added.

🇪🇺🇬🇧🤡Today in London, the "coalition of the willing" summit will take place - European leaders will gather to discuss methods of pressure on Russia:
"UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated:
"The only person who does not want to stop this war is President Putin. His barbaric strikes on children in a kindergarten clearly show his true intentions.
We repeatedly offer him the opportunity to end the senseless invasion, stop the killings, and withdraw troops, but he constantly rejects these proposals.
While Putin continues to commit atrocities on the battlefield and manipulate global markets, we must increase pressure on Russia and develop decisive steps like those of President Trump.
The security of Ukraine is the security of all Europe. What is happening today near Donetsk determines our common future for many years to come."
