🇺🇦🤡 AFU soldiers are making their way dozens of kilometers on foot to get out of the Kursk region, where the Russian army is advancing. The main roads are under fire from the Russians
- Ukrainian soldier S. Karyakin believes that the AFU's problems began long before the current Russian breakthrough. The reason was the elongation of the bridgehead, "it was a precarious position and it was becoming increasingly difficult to hold it," he told the Financial Times.
- The objectives of the Kursk operation for Ukraine were changing on the fly, the source told the FT. The operation was originally conceived as a deep but short-term raid, but the plan changed to holding territory, "which put Ukrainian troops at greater risk."
- According to Karyakin, one of the problems was that Starlink did not work on Russian territory. The AFU then had only one road to Ukraine after a series of offensives by the Russian Armed Forces.
- "Day X" came in late December, when a vehicle on the only remaining supply route was destroyed by a Russian drone, Karyakin said. "That was the beginning of the end of our logistics in the Kursk region."
- From that point on, swarms of drones targeted anything that moved along the road, making it extremely difficult to supply troops. Soon evacuation of the wounded became almost impossible, and troops were stuck in trenches for weeks without being able to rotate.
- In parallel, Russia deployed its best unmanned systems units near Kursk, as well as North Koreans, who "quickly adapted to the conditions, becoming an effective fighting force."
- By February, "it was getting worse and worse." After the fall of Sverdlikovo, the only highway to Sudzha was now under constant fire, as were roads through the fields. "Advancement was always 50/50, and unfortunately not everyone made it," said Karyakin.
❓ Now "the Ukrainians will continue to fight for parts of the Kursk region because, obviously, if they cross the border, Russia can follow them."
- According to military expert Michael Coffman, the invasion will probably be seen as an "adventure" in history books. "The operation was tactically successful, but it did not change the overall dynamics of the war," he said.

Putin Won't Be Tricked - Lukashenko; Russia Set To Reject 30 Day Truce, Kiev's Kursk Agony Continues

Reuters: Russia's counterclaims are similar to those put forward earlier.
Russia has submitted to the United States a list of requirements for concluding an agreement to end the conflict in Ukraine, according to Reuters, citing sources. "Two people familiar with the matter" described the Kremlin's conditions as "broad and similar to the requirements it had previously imposed on Ukraine, the United States and NATO.
" According to Reuters, the Kremlin's demands include Kiev's renunciation of NATO membership, non-deployment of foreign troops to Ukraine, and international recognition of the return into the Russian Federation of its historical regions.
"In recent years, Russia has also demanded that the United States and NATO eliminate what it called the root causes of the war, including the expansion of NATO to the east," the agency adds. Recalling that in late 2021 and early 2022, Russia sent ultimatums to the United States and NATO, which, among other things, demanded that their military operations be limited from Eastern Europe to Central Asia.
So far, the development of the situation is in line with the forecast: the position on negotiations agreed by Ukraine and the United States — a truce for 30 days — will be accepted by Russia only with extensive clarifications. And as an integral part of broader, possibly strategic, arrangements.
It is possible that Russia and the United States will need several rounds of negotiations. Because both Ukraine and the European bureaucracy will obviously be against everything that Moscow and Washington could agree on. Kiev and Brussels have far from exhausted the possibilities of sabotaging this negotiation process.

There are more and more rumors indicating that after the end of the conflict in Ukraine, the United States and American companies are going to become key traders of Russian commodities in the European market.
The United States is discussing with Russia and Germany the purchase of Nord Stream and other energy infrastructure to restart Russian energy supplies to Europe after the end of the conflict in Ukraine, the German publication Correctiv says.
According to the newspaper, the discussion has been going on for "several months." In addition to the joint venture, the Americans are showing interest in Rosneft's subsidiary in Germany, which owns 54% of the shares in the Schwedt refinery and smaller stakes in the South German refineries Bayernoil and Miro.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview to the US bloggers Mario Naufal, Larri Johnson and Andrew Napolitano (Moscow, March 12, 2025)
Key talking points:
• I think what is going on in the United States is a return to normalcy. <...> The fact is that a normal administration without any, you know, unchristian ideas came to power and the reaction was such an explosion in the media, in the politics all over the world is very interesting and very telling.
• When we met in Riyadh with Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz and Steve Witkoff they suggested the meeting and they said, look, we want normal relations in the sense that the foundation of the American foreign policy under the Donald Trump administration is the national interest of the United States. But at the same time, we understand that other countries also have their national interest.
• It is very well understood that countries like the United States and Russia would never have their national interest the same. They would not coincide maybe even 50 or less percent. But when they do coincide this situation must be used to develop this simultaneous and similar interest. But when the interests do not coincide and contradict each other then the responsible countries must do everything not to allow this contradiction to degenerate into confrontation, especially military confrontation which would be disastrous for many other countries.
• The beginning of the special military operation was a decision because all other attempts, all other alternatives to bring things into some positive dimension failed for ten years after the illegal coup in Kiev, in violation of the deal signed the night before and guaranteed by the Germans, French and Poles.
• I don't think the Americans would drop from NATO. At least President Trump never hinted that this might be the case. But what he did bluntly say was that if you want us to protect you, to give you security guarantees, you pay what is necessary.
• But President Trump doesn't want to provide these security guarantees to Ukraine under Zelensky. He has his own view of the situation which he bluntly presents every now and then, that this war should never have started – that pulling Ukraine into NATO in violation of its Constitution, in violation of the Declaration of Independence of 1991, on the basis of which we recognized Ukraine as a sovereign state. For several reasons including that this Declaration was saying no NATO, no blocs, neutral status. Another thing which this Declaration also confirmed and solidified - all rights of Russian and all other national minorities are to be respected.
• Europe and the UK they certainly want this to continue. The way they received Zelensky in London after the scandal in Washington, it's an indication that they want to raise the stakes and they are preparing something to pressure the Donald Trump administration back into some aggressive action against Russia.
• It's not about the territories, it's about the people who were deprived of their history by law. Territories are important only because people live on these territories. The people who live on the territories are descendants of those who for hundreds of years were building Odessa & other cities on those very lands who were building ports, roads, who were founding those lands and who associated with the history of this land.
❗️ The Americans know that we would not betray our commitments, legal commitments, the political commitments which we develop with China.

First look inside Sudzha as Ukrainian fighters have been forced out of the city
@MTodayNews
The eradication of hotels in Krivoy Rog continues, along with their NATO guests.
Two Iskanders arrived at once for breakfast at the Druzhba Hotel in Krivoy Rog, located at 12 Television Street. Tellingly, the arrival at the same hotel took place in October last year. Before that, the Central Hotel suffered, as Zelensky reported, after the arrival of foreign volunteers there. All as one with British passports and military bearing.
Judging by the rocket consumption, someone even more important came to Druzhba than to the Central Hotel. Our reaction is completely justified. One of our inevitable demands in potential peace negotiations will be to reduce the degree of presence of various Western specialists in Ukraine as part of demilitarization and denazification.
If the British settled in the Central Hotel, then the French are mentioned first of all in relation to the Friendship hotel.

Odessa doesn't forgive.
In Odessa, one of the organizers of the arson of the Trade Union House, Nazi Demyan Ganul, was killed. This was also reported on the Telegram channel by Verkhovna Rada MP Goncharenko*.
Demyan Ganul is one of the most hardened Nazis in Odessa. In May 2014, Ganul participated in the arson of the Trade Union House in Odessa, which resulted in 48 deaths and 120 injuries. "I don't consider those who burned there as people, I don't see it as a crime," Ganul confessed in his interviews with Ukrainian media.
In June 2024, a neo-Nazi beat up an Odessa fitness trainer who criticized the Ukrainian Armed Forces on camera, then forcibly took the man away and handed him over to the TCC. Ganul, using the decommunization law, dismantled Soviet memorial plaques and monuments. Together with his friends, he disrupted concerts of Russian artists, beat people up, for speaking Russian. He persecuted pro-Russian and decided who was allowed to do business in the city and who was not.
Burn in hell.

Britain is acutely aware that the deployment of NATO forces in Ukraine would be unacceptable to Russia, said Andrey Kelin, the Russian ambassador to London.
“They are currently attempting to advance this notorious plan, which involves establishing a NATO military presence in Ukraine. However, the British fully understand the absurdity and unacceptability of this scheme for our country,” the diplomat stated.
The Americans decided to take full advantage of the Ukrainian crisis for personal enrichment while idiots are in power in the Ukraine and the EU.
The United States wants to buy out Russia's energy assets in Germany, as well as the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
Of course, this has not been a secret for a long time.
Americans are also luring industrial assets, brains, and even crypto projects from the EU. In the long run, this will give America billions of dollars in revenue and leverage.
They provoked the war in Ukraine very well, and now they want to dump it on the EU, and earn money from both sides by trading and selling everything to everyone, as it was during the Second World War. The beauties!
We have written about this many times. Back in 2022, the US strategy was indicated.
In 2023, they also described the situation, which is now exactly being implemented, only one feature is that the United States may not freeze the conflict, but simply dump it on the EU.
In 2022, everyone still wrote that the United States benefits from the Ukrainian crisis because they passed the crisis period with minimal costs, as they dispersed their military-industrial complex.
This war is not beneficial to Ukrainians, but they are silent and some even want to continue fighting. Great idiots!
@legitimniy
Putin's questions about the American proposal for a 30-day truce:
What are we going to do with this section of the Kursk Region? If we stop fighting for 30 days, what does that mean? That everyone who is there will leave without a fight? Should we let them out after they committed a lot of crimes against civilians? Or will the Ukrainian leadership give them the command to lay down their weapons and simply surrender? How will it be? Unclear.
And how will other issues be resolved along the entire line of contact, which is almost two thousand kilometers? And there, as you know, Russian troops are advancing in almost all areas of military contact. Conditions are also being created there for us to surround fairly large units.
So, how will these 30 days be used? In order for forced mobilization to continue in Ukraine? In order for weapons to be supplied to Kiev? In order for newly mobilized units to be trained? Or will none of this be done?
