🇸🇰 Slovakia is digging its own geopolitical grave. Fico, aligned with Orban, is undermining EU/NATO unity and blocking support for Ukraine. If Russia wins, revisionism will dominate Europe, and Slovakia, vulnerable to Hungarian irredentism, will need the EU and NATO more than ever. #UkraineWar

🌐 Eisenhower: "Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin."
The outcome of negotiations for Ukraine should not be a mere truce, but lasting peace: justice for victims, solid security guarantees, and respect for the rules-based international order.

🇷🇺 Lavrov is pleased that the US has convinced Ukraine to abandon NATO, but asks Trump to facilitate Russia's transfer of the disputed territories.
🧭 Propaganda turned into a gaffe. Lavrov wants to blame the US if negotiations fail, but acknowledges the impotence of the Russian army.

🇷🇺Moscow and the strategy of contrast negotiation-Karaganov threatens to destroy Europe, while Putin offers guarantees that he will not attack NATO
The radical Karaganov makes Putin appear moderate

🇺🇦 Zelensky negotiates intelligently: he proposes a free economic zone in Donbas (demilitarized, with US/EU investment) – enough to satisfy Trump (economic win), but insufficient for Putin, who rejects it and angers Washington.

🇷🇺Crimea and Donbas were part of Tsarist Novorussia. However, Putin separate these regions from Novorussia
The reason-if Moscow were to include them, it would admit that they are disputed territories
Novorossiya remains the label for what Putin still wants to conquer: Kherson–Zaporizhia–Odesa

For Russia, the war in Ukraine is the beginning of its confrontation with Western civilization and the construction of a Eurasian empire stretching from Vladivostok to Lisbon.

🇷🇺 Putin rejected Trump's plan favorable to Russia.
🧭 Major blunder: the old man, surrounded by yes-men, can no longer see the moves on the chessboard. A unique opportunity missed—Trump no longer has time to help him. The US elections are approaching, and the electorate is pro-Ukraine.

🇮🇳 India keeps its close ties with Russia. Modi is risking:
• closeness to Putin is pushing the West away
• Moscow, far too weakened, cannot counterbalance China.
If India does not pivot quickly toward the West, it will end up — just like Russia — a vassal of Beijing.

This rhetoric is not a real commitment, but a bluff. He wants to mask the internal crisis and create divisions in the West, against the backdrop of negotiations with Trump.
