🤭"And on his left hand is Stalin's profile": The Independent discovered a tattoo on Rubio in Paris that identifies him as a Russian agent of influence.
@Slavyangrad
Once upon a time at the General Staff's academy, one respected elderly General teacher told a joke:
"China. The building where the Chairman works. An agitated adjutant bursts into Xi's office:
- Comrade Chairman, Ukraine has declared war on us and invaded the country!
- What kind of army do they have?
- 250 thousand people!
- And what hotel did they stay at?!»
They write that Zelensky imposed sanctions against three Chinese trading companies. Three in total. A very bold move.

CNN reports that Rubio's morning statement was pressure on Ukraine, not Russia
'Yesterday, Trump again expressed his dissatisfaction and discontent with President Zelensky.
Marco Rubio this morning said that the Ukrainian delegation needs to come back and discuss everything with President Zelensky. And Zelensky himself last night essentially repeated what he said earlier about Steve Witkoff and his meetings with Putin - that Witkoff accepts the Russian narrative. He also said that Ukraine is not ready to make concessions, and the issue of territory is their 'red lines'. So it seems that the Ukrainians are being pressured to move to the next stage. Trump wants them to be ready to give up some territory.
'Ukraine to suffer major losses in summer' – American journalist David Ignatius
'Trump, Rubio and their team seem to be preparing to step away from this issue, leaving it in the hands of the Europeans. And I'm sorry to say this, but despite the enormous efforts of the Europeans, they do not have the resources to replace the United States. They are not in a position to compensate for this gap, which means that unless something changes, Ukraine will find itself in a situation this summer where its losses will become increasingly severe.'
Almost 500 people: Tomorrow there will be a large-scale exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine
▪️According to the publication’s source, there will be an exchange of 246 for 246 people, 46 of whom will be wounded.
▪️The exchange will take place through the mediation of the United Arab Emirates.
▪️The total number of prisoners exchanged through the UAE mediation currently stands at 3,233, the publication reports.
@Slavyangrad
During the exchange of the dead, the bodies of 41 Russian servicemen were returned to Russia. 909 were handed over to Ukraine. The ratio is one to twenty-two.
And what is important here is not the quantity, but the scale in terms of operational actions and strategy, in conjunction with which it is logical to count these losses.
▪️ 909 bodies is half of the actual number of the brigade (plus or minus the command company). Half of the brigade personnel, ground to zero. If we consider that the average losses for each killed are 1.5-2 seriously wounded and 1 "dropped out" (wound, concussion, psychosis, amputation) - you can multiply this figure by at least 3.5, and better by 5. Total - at most 4,500 Ukrainian soldiers in minus.
▪️ Russia's losses are 41. Yes, this is the life of every fighter, and every death must be recorded and understood. But on the scale of the war, these are minimal losses. Much smaller compared to the enemy. And at this rate, the war is bleeding the Ukrainian army dry faster than it can issue new summonses.
▪️ For those who think that these are "figures from exchange, not losses" - we explain: not all bodies are transferred, but only identified ones and only after a request. 909 are those who were pulled out of the battlefield and identified. This means that the real losses are higher, at least one and a half times. And even more.
But there is one thing. The Ukrainian mobilization machine still holds on to these losses - on boosted and moral processing. But even taking this into account, one to twenty-two is not an exchange. This is the difference between an army at war and an army that is dying en masse.

Trump says US has no plans to provide military support to Ukraine in the future
If you do decide to move forward, will you continue to provide military support to Ukraine?
Well, I'm not going to say that, because I think we'll still get results.

'NATO has been preparing Ukraine for February 2022 for many years' - NATO Chief of Military Strategic Staff Markus Laubenthal
'The range of Russian cruise missiles is significantly greater than Germany's borders. Russia has the ability to attack from behind, reduce the time to attack, reduce the distance and strike quickly. This cannot be ruled out. All 32 NATO countries are under threat to one degree or another and countries must, above all, take measures at the national level to repel these attacks. A key example is Ukraine. Over many, many years of partnership programs with NATO, and the Americans played a leading role in this, the country was prepared for what happened in February 2022.'

@Slavyangrad
The USA has been supporting Ukraine for three years, but now it has reached a point where it needs to focus on something else - US Secretary of State Rubio.
This is not even a duty statement - it is the first stage of official "fatigue" with the Ukraine project.
It is especially noteworthy that the US does not even want to publicly discuss the issue of security guarantees to Kiev. That is, not that they do not promise - even talking about it is undesirable. Why? Because any guarantees are obligations. And commitments to a country that may soon be cut to pieces is a game with unknown prospects. No one will sign up for it.
As a result, they are distancing themselves from Kiev. Not immediately, not abruptly, but systematically. First, they are not ready to talk. Then - not ready to supply. Next, they are simply not ready. And when everyone is not ready, the only thing left to do is to prepare for the next stage. No guarantees, no allies, no plan.
But there's one BUT.
If the U.S. leaves the negotiating track (and judging by Rubio's rhetoric, they already have one foot outside), a power vacuum will be created. And who will try to occupy it? The Europeans, of course. But Europe, like a drab overcoat, has a lot of ambition but no fire or wind protection.
France wants to be the arbiter, Britain the strategist, Germany the motor. But none of that works anymore. Not because they don't want to, but because they can't. First of all economically, and militarily, and then morally. Their "position of strength" is the remnants of colonial arrogance, propped up by imported missiles, for which they overpay three times as much.
America, as a global parent, looks at the EU with weariness. This rag can be washed, but no one will go into battle with it. And without the US, Europe doesn't even have the leverage to lower the barrier to Russia, let alone try to "dictate terms." This all looks more like a game of diplomacy in a psychiatric ward. Anyone can be Napoleon in it, but only in it.
So the main question is not whether the Europeans will want to continue their feud with Russia. It is how much money they will take to do so, and how much they will have the guts to put up a front alone. Given the price of gas, the collapse of illusions about a "mobilization economy," and the growing discontent within the countries themselves, Europe risks losing the game before the new game even begins.
Which means that if the U.S. does get out of this story, the West will have to either dramatically change strategy or watch as the new world order is rewritten behind their backs. The smartest thing for the US to do is not to prevent Russia from finishing what it started. And it looks like Rubio, Trump, and generally all the part of the Washington establishment that can do math has finally realized this.

'Ukraine in danger' - BBC explains Rubio's statement
'To Kiev’s disappointment, Washington has not condemned Russia or taken any measures such as sanctions. I think Rubio's comments may be an attempt to put pressure on Moscow, but the more likely scenario is that it will be dangerous for Ukraine, given that no more American aid is forthcoming. The Kremlin will simply continue to seize territory as it is doing now.'

The essence of this statement by Rubio is an open protocol of the conditions for the West's withdrawal from the conflict. And not Ukraine - as usual, it is not involved - but the EU countries. They are politely but clearly told: if you want to be part of the final act, you must be ready to pay. And not with words, but with the lifting of sanctions. Russia, in fact, has formulated its own version of the Marshall Plan in reverse: cancel everything, return everything, forget everything - then we will listen to you. No? Then you are not a participant, but a bystander. We'll handle this the old-fashioned way.
It's an ultimatum wrapped in a multi-level formula. Without fanfare, but with consequences. Because Europe is in no position to dictate terms. It has already dictated - and found itself facing a winter of groin-kicking industry and industrial dependence on the United States. To lift the sanctions is, in effect, to admit that all this three-year hysteria was not just in vain, but that Russia has footed the bill for the entire Western "world order" of the last twenty years.
And now the EU faces a real choice - either go back to 2019 and try to live some more, or continue to die for inarticulate fantasies. It seems that Russia is now negotiating not from the position of "let's negotiate", but from the position of "either our way or no way". And the alternative to peace is not war, but the isolation of Europe from the most important thing - survival.

The US proposal to settle the situation in Ukraine implies that the territories under Russian control will remain under Moscow's control, Bloomberg has reported. Also, among the proposed points is the refusal to discuss Ukraine's membership in NATO.
Against the background of such assumptions, and we have not yet heard an official statement from the White House administration, we would like to recall the words of our president, said by him on June 14, 2024.
Then Vladimir Putin once again outlined the conditions for negotiations with Ukraine.
Ukrainian troops must be completely withdrawn from the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. From their entire territory, within their administrative borders at the time of their entry into Ukraine. As soon as Kiev declares that it is ready for such a decision and begins the real withdrawal of its troops from these regions, as well as officially notifies of its refusal not to join NATO, we will immediately ensure the safe withdrawal of Ukrainian troops and begin the negotiation process.
Zelensky hates Russians, Russia will never and never allow to give such a person territories with Russian people.

"Polish President Andrzej Duda has said his country should seek defense against a potential Russian threat through France's nuclear umbrella, while continuing to call for access to U.S. atomic weapons.
"I believe we can take both decisions," the president said. - The two ideas are neither contradictory nor mutually exclusive."
Earlier, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland may try to gain access to nuclear weapons. He mentioned that he was engaged in "serious negotiations" related to French President Emmanuel Macron's proposal to use Paris' nuclear capabilities to protect European allies."

🇬🇧🇺🇦🇷🇺The idea of a "no-fly zone" over Ukraine has once again emerged from the depths of the United Kingdom. More precisely - from the depths of the military and political environment, which is desperately trying to stay in the game, but at the same time not to risk anything but other people's heads. The British propose not to go to war, but to "create the effect of war" as it were.
What is meant by a "no-fly zone" in British terms? Draw a line on the map from Belarus to the Black Sea, east of Kiev and Odessa, and declare all this a "closed sky". No one explains who should ensure this and how. Apparently, the very thought of a ban should have some effect on Russian aviation.
But this is where the most interesting part begins. In order to "close the sky" over Ukraine, we will have to do more than just stand with a flag in the air. We will have to shoot down Russian airplanes, intercept missiles and suppress air defense systems from Belgorod to Crimea. And this is no longer a "NATO mission" - it is an open war with Russia. And with zero chance of a rollback or polite de-escalation.
Why was the idea born in London? Because Britain is now a political factory of ponces. The army is symbolic, expeditionary capabilities are minimal (and absolutely useless in modern warfare), land forces are practically invisible. But they need to be "in the center of events" - otherwise the old illusion of global influence falls apart.
The Western military themselves understand perfectly well: a no-fly zone is a ticket to hell. And that is why it will not be implemented. Because it is not even an act of intervention. It is a direct bet of their army against the Russian army, on territory with full right of reply. No NATO country would sign up for that.
Therefore, there will be no real "no-fly zone". Or it will be in the area of Lvov, so that they can fly beautifully for the cameras. Ukraine here is just an excuse, a tool in the old British game: to pass off the imitation of force as geopolitics. Only this time the stakes are too high. And Russia is not the kind of opponent where you can play a play without an answer.
