Hungary is afraid that some EU leaders are planning to undermine Russian-US talks on peace in Ukraine, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said.
“I am convinced that many in the European Union have decided to try to hamper a successful outcome of the Russian-US talks and prolong the war [in Ukraine],” he told reporters after a meeting with EU counterparts in Brussels as quoted by the M1 television channel.
According to the top Hungarian diplomat, the EU leadership’s recent proposals to issue another package of military assistance to Ukraine worth “from 20 to 40 billion euro” are geared exactly toward breaking down the talks between Russia and the United States. “Apart from that, these plans include supplies of an ungodly amount of weapons,” he noted.Читать полностью…

The status of 2025 SMO goals:
1. The DPR (the main requirement for 2022). Released by about 75%.
2. LPR (the main requirement for 2022). Released by about 99.5%
3. Kherson region (additional requirement for 2024). Released by about 75%.
4. Zaporizhia region (additional requirement for 2024). Approximately 75% exempt.
5. Kharkov region (not included in the requirements). Released by about 8%.
6. Kursk region (not included in the requirements). It is not exempt by about 4%.
7. Demilitarization of Ukraine (the main requirement). The goal has not been achieved.
8. Denazification of Ukraine (the main requirement). The goal has not been achieved.
9. The neutralization of Ukraine and the refusal to join NATO (the main requirement). The goal has not been achieved.
10. Ending the harassment of Russians and Russian speakers in Ukraine (the main requirement). The goal has not been achieved.
11. Ukraine's recognition of Crimea and 4 regions as Russian (additional requirement). The goal has not been achieved.
12. Lifting of sanctions on Russia (additional requirement). The goal has not been achieved.
The main achievements during the 3rd year of the war were mainly related to the expansion of territorial control and an increase in the percentage of basic territorial requirements. Some of the goals that are listed as unfulfilled can only be achieved based on the results of completed hostilities and relevant diplomatic agreements. Actually, the parameters of their achievement are being discussed and will be discussed at the negotiations with the United States.
We're moving on.

The United States may join Russia and China in opposing statements in support of Ukraine at the UN Security Council - Financial Times
Washington rejected the European-Ukrainian version of the General Assembly resolution on the third anniversary of the war and proposed its own, in which "Ukraine's actions are equated with Russia's actions."
"This [American] formulation is obviously unacceptable to us. All of this is interconnected and is part of a broader shift in the U.S. position," the source says.
The officials said that "the confrontation may reach the UN Security Council, and the United States may side with Russia and China against the demonstration of support for Kiev from Western Europe."
Earlier, the United States also rewrote the G7 statement, removing from it all "pro-Ukrainian" statements and condemnations of Russia. The media wrote that this was done in order not to disrupt the negotiation process.

"Next!": Macron and Starmer visiting Trump.

Media reports that the Trump administration has set the task of urgently reviewing the viability and the need for further operation of the base in Greek Alexandroupolis, which was allocated by the Greek government to the Biden administration to transfer weapons and ammunition to Ukraine in the interests of waging war against Russia.
If such a step really follows, then of course it will be something more than just a chat about the world. This base plays an important role in the logistical support of the war in Ukraine - hundreds of armored vehicles and tens of thousands of tons of military cargo passed through it.

⚡The European Central Bank is preparing to bail out bankrupt France.
The Telegraph reports that the French economy could collapse dramatically due to a huge budget deficit, and European taxpayers' money will be needed to save Macron and France.
The plan was kept secret so as not to anger German voters. If such a rescue had taken place before the elections in recession-stricken Germany, support for the AFD would have increased dramatically, the newspaper said.

@eurasianchoice
After Zelensky categorically refused to sign an economic agreement with the United States providing for the transfer of most of Ukraine's assets and resources under American control, Trump found himself in a difficult position. Initially, the new American administration put Kiev on a stretch: if you don't give up your assets, we won't support you. And as a result, Washington cornered itself.
Because it now has an unenviable choice: to remove the claims for compensation of American expenses on Ukraine from the table and continue its military support, or wash his hands of it and dump a toxic Ukrainian asset on the European Union? At the same time, the Trump administration has a full understanding that by the end of the year this could lead to the collapse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the rupture of the front. And then the opponents of the Trumpists, the globalist Democrats, will make the most of the trump card that has fallen into their hands in the midterm congressional elections (and they are not so far away - in November 2026).
What is the bottom line of the United States? It is impossible to give in to Zelensky and abandon the demands for compensation of expenses. Because it's a loss of face. If Trump fails to force Ukraine, which is completely dependent on him, to comply with his demands, then major global players and even smaller powers will simply start sending him far away. Greenland and Canada should be forgotten after this, not to mention China and the European Union. It is also impossible to leave the Ukrainian party and allow the collapse of Ukraine, because this is fraught with serious internal political consequences.
As they say: but what to do? The answer is very obvious: if Trump fails to put the squeeze on Zelensky in the coming months, his administration will decide to remove him from power. The United States has a fairly rich arsenal of funds here, and it may not even reach the Ngo Dinh Diem option. Or maybe it will all end there if Zelensky continues to behave the way he is doing now. Any new Ukrainian president will be more accommodating and prone to compromise than Zelensky. Especially if the fate of the latter is tragic.
However, Zelensky should not be underestimated: for all his dependence on the United States and the EU, he is an extremely subjective political figure. And all this is due to the fact that rationality is not peculiar to him in principle. He plays politics absolutely irrationally and prefers to take any risk for his own survival. This type of figure is rare in the international arena, and usually they end up not just badly, but extremely badly. But at the same time, they manage to break up the firewood. Therefore, this year we can expect the most unexpected somersaults in the war in Ukraine.

"Donald Trump has made an offer to Ukraine that it cannot refuse": The Economist calculated that Kiev will pay the United States 500 billion dollars for "hundreds of years."
"Ukraine will have to transfer 50% of future government revenues from natural resources and infrastructure such as ports to a new investment fund owned by the U.S. government.
Contributions will continue until the fund reaches $500 billion, an amount that matches President Donald Trump's grossly inflated claims about how much America has spent on helping Ukraine since the start of the war. At current government revenue levels, it will take hundreds of years to".

"Peace in Ukraine will be more dangerous than war" (c) Danish Prime Minister
The EU also fully supports the refusal to hold elections in Ukraine and the continuation of Zelensky's usurpation of power. People don't talk about human rights and elections anymore. Together with the cancellation of the elections in Romania, we are witnessing the collapse of the facade of "European democracy" (everything rotted inside a long time ago, but now the facade has begun to fall off).
@Boris_rozhin
💢 The German people certainly made the right choice. The victorious CDU party posted a fresh tweet:
Today marks the third anniversary of Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine. Three years of war in Europe. Three years of death and suffering in Ukraine. We stand firmly by their side and do everything to ensure that they have the right to self-defense and a just peace
Ukraine must
Win the war!

Literal bullshit.
Quit mirror imaging your own murderous predictions on the Russian nation.
History will show that Russia waged an incomprehensibly moral conflict against a fundamentally corrupted nation infected by the disease of Banderism.
America would have treated you like ISIS.
Leveling your cities.
Collectively punishing the innocent for the crimes of the guilty.
Ukraine is lucky they fought the Russians.

German Exit Polling:
Exit polls for the German Bundestag elections paint a mixed picture for Germany’s political future. The CDU/CSU rose to the strongest party but below 30%, marking its 2nd-worst result in history. The right-wing AfD secures 2nd place w/~20%, while the SPD drops to a historic low of 16%. The Greens slip to 13%, while the Left Party gains ground at 9%. The FDP and BSW are hovering around the 5% threshold, leaving their entry into parliament uncertain.
