Summary
Russia warned that U.S.-Russia relations are near collapse, with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stating the Ukraine war will continue unless Kyiv abandons its NATO ambitions.
The Kremlin declined to confirm Trump’s claim that he spoke with Putin, despite Trump’s assertion that he expects more discussions to end the war.
Trump’s security adviser suggested economic pressure on Moscow to negotiate, while Ukraine’s Zelenskyy insists on U.S. and European support before engaging with Putin.
Meanwhile, a Russian drone attack injured a civilian in Ukraine’s Sumy region.
I absolutely do not believe this. It sounds to me like they are trying to act like they are enemies again while they work in the background to take control of everything.
Putin is signaling to his adoring fan Trump that Ukraine’s special resources “belong” to Russia.
To both Trump and Putin this is not about Ukraine at all.
The crux of the matter is: did Trump wake up about the value of those resources and prefers to permanently claim them for himself? Or will he see it as a great gift to hand them to Putin on a later date so that both can “save face”?
Putin wants the resources and will destroy the identity of Ukraine and make it Russian so it will never leave the flock again. He will also keep trying, in 10 years or more he will keep coming back for the resources. He has done it in 1990, in 2014 and in 2021. But he needs Ukraine to be fully disarmed.
In 1990 he forced Ukraine to give away it’s nuclear armaments, later he made it give up the navy that Ukraine was left with when it split from the USSR. In 2014 he saw chance to take parts of Ukraine by force, thinking he could take the rest by subterfuge of having his own soldiers fight anonymously as “breakaway Ukraine rebels” but it failed because Ukraine was still armed well and intent on defending it’s identity. 2021 Putin tried again, thinking Ukraine’s armaments now were hopelessly outdated and Russia had a lot of “modern” material, his 3-day takeover plan was thwarted by the Ukrainian fighting spirit. And what is worse, it showed that the military might of Russia was a paper tiger, the equipment was not up to snuff to an enemy intent on defending itself, so Russia had to fall back to it’s centuries old tactic of overwhelming the enemy with cannon fodder.
But now the limit of reasonability is reached, Putin can not endlessly throw cannonfodder at Ukraine. With all the western weapons far outclassing what it can fabricate and train, Russia has lost the military fight and will turn to political paths. First to keep the conquered Ukrainian lands and designate them as Russia, then have the West lose interest in Ukraine’s membership of NATO and perhaps the EU. But still demand the delivery of the resources to Russia. And in about 15 years he’ll come with the same excuse again and try to take Ukraine once more.
Russia wants the resources … In time the gas supplies will have its prices slashed due to the continued growth of renewable energy.
And his adoring fan Trump can and likely will aid him speed it all up if he can use him to have the west withdraw all support.
Any evidence to support this claim?
two eyes, a brain, and a fucking pukse.
stop shilling for fascists.
edit: btw took a look at your history…very convincing btw.
Having a memory longer than 6 minutes. I would love for my country to be turning against Russia, but the orange one is 100% on Russia’s side as always. My money is on us supplying Russia or even boots on the ground in a few years.
