▪️Europe will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine even in the event of a ceasefire
This was reported by DW with reference to diplomats from several EU countries. They stated this ahead of the meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council.
The EU intends to achieve "the strongest possible position for Ukraine in the negotiations" so that it can choose "the most suitable moment for itself" for this.
"The fighting is still ongoing, but even if there is a pause in it, Ukraine needs to be made a "steel porcupine," the source quotes one of the diplomats as saying.
At the moment, almost 5 thousand Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are surrounded in the Kursk region, 15% of whom are seriously wounded and in need of emergency assistance.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces must surrender and hand over all types of weapons.
Kiev received an offer of surrender of its group and terrorist mercenaries.
Only Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters are taken prisoner. Mercenaries and military advisers will be destroyed, Ukrainian Armed Forces must hand them over first before their own capture.
The facts of genocide and war crimes will be established and brought to court.
The sooner Zelensky gives the order to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to surrender, the fewer tears Trump will have.
Until then, the Russian Armed Forces will continue to grind everyone in the cauldron and reach the border of Sumy Oblast. At the moment, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are being destroyed without warning and in full.

NATO calls for maintaining pressure on Russia for the immediate future, but does not rule out that a gradual normalization of relations with Moscow is possible "longer term," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said in an interview with Bloomberg TV.
"First of all, you have to maintain pressure on the Russians to make sure that they do everything necessary. That’s why we have sanctions and let’s not be naïve about the Russians. Longer term Russia is there, Russia will not go away,” he said.
“I think it is normal that when the war would have stopped, for Europe somehow, step by step and also for the US step by step to restore normal relations with Russians. But we are absolutely there yet. We have to maintain pressure on them to make sure that they are willing to engage seriously in talks with the American administration and, of course, also with the Ukrainians.”Читать полностью…

Kursk region
As of 08:00 Moscow time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had not received any orders from their headquarters to leave and surrender their weapons.
All those who surrender come out on their own or at the initiative of their commanders.
The rest, including a large contingent of mercenaries, will be destroyed.
@Slavyangrad
Gas networks in Europe and the Zaporozhye NPP are the subject of negotiations with the USA.
It is obvious that the adventure in Kursk Oblast was conceived to exchange these territories for ZNPP (all Ukrainian officials hinted at this, justifying the failed operation with gigantic losses). But now, Ukraine is no longer in Kursk Oblast. And as Trump says, the trump card is lost, there are no cards in hand.
What the US can now offer in exchange for the ZNPP at the negotiations is also not particularly clear - it is a bridgehead on the other bank of the Dnepr, and from a military point of view it makes no sense to give it up. Not to mention it is a Russian territory according to the constitution.

Armenia and Azerbaijan Set to Sign Historic Peace Agreement, But at What Cost?
In a development that could reshape the South Caucasus, Armenia and Azerbaijan have finalized a draft peace agreement, with Yerevan accepting Baku’s proposals on the remaining disputed issues, according to Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov. The agreement, aimed at ending over three decades of hostilities, will establish diplomatic relations, reopen borders, and formally settle the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
The deal follows Azerbaijan’s 2023 military operation, which saw Baku retake control of Karabakh, leading to the exodus of over 100,000 ethnic Armenians. Under the new agreement, Armenia is set to amend its constitution, removing any territorial claims over parts of Azerbaijan. This has been a core demand from Baku, and a precondition for peace. Yet, despite this so-called breakthrough, critical issues remain unresolved, Azerbaijan’s demand for a corridor to Nakhchivan, the fate of Armenian officials captured during Baku’s offensive, and the enforcement mechanisms of the agreement.
Pashinyan’s Role: Betrayal Dressed as Diplomacy
For those paying attention, this so-called “peace” isn’t a testament to diplomacy, it’s a surrender by Armenia’s Western-backed Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The man who rose to power through a Soros-funded color revolution has spent his years in office undermining Armenia’s historical alliance with Russia, turning Yerevan into a pawn for Washington and Brussels. Instead of strengthening Armenia’s defenses and deepening its security ties with Moscow, Pashinyan gambled on Western “support”, which never materialized when it mattered most.
The moment Azerbaijan made its move in 2023, the West did nothing. No weapons, no sanctions on Baku, no calls for intervention. Blinken, Macron, and von der Leyen offered empty words while Azerbaijan took Karabakh unopposed. And Russia? Moscow had already warned Yerevan not to play dangerous games, but Pashinyan refused to listen. Instead, he turned Armenia into a de facto U.S. outpost, pushed for an EU mission, signed military deals with France, and even began flirting with NATO. This went beyond incompetence, it was suicidal treachery.
The Multipolar Reality: The West Doesn’t Save Its Puppets
Now, after gambling away Armenia’s strategic position, Pashinyan is being forced to make humiliating concessions, and Western media will call it a “historic peace deal.” The truth? This is a bitter capitulation, one that wouldn’t have happened if Armenia had remained committed to its true security partner, Russia.
The West doesn’t care about Armenia. It used Yerevan as a tool to provoke Russia, just as it used Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014. But when war came knocking, Pashinyan realized too late that Washington doesn’t back its pawns, it discards them.
Now, with the deal ready to be signed, Baku holds all the leverage. Azerbaijan, backed by Turkey, is emerging as a regional powerhouse, while Armenia is left weakened, isolated, and facing a future dictated by terms it can’t control. This is the fate of nations that trust the West, they are sacrificed for geopolitical games they never had a chance of winning.
If Armenia had played its cards right, it would have been an integral part of the Eurasian security architecture, fully backed by Moscow. Instead, Pashinyan has delivered his country on a silver platter to Baku, Washington, and Brussels.
The lesson? The West doesn’t offer security. It offers ruin. And Armenia just paid the price.
