🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺"Zelensky has nothing until I approve it." This statement was made by Trump in an interview with Politico ahead of his meeting with Zelensky. The publication writes that the US president reacted to Zelensky's proposed 20-point peace plan without much enthusiasm and is not in a hurry to support his proposal. "He has nothing until I approve it. So let's see what he has," Trump said. Nevertheless, he expressed confidence that the meeting this weekend could be productive, the publication notes. "I think everything will go well with him. I think everything will go well with Putin too," Trump said, adding that he expects to talk to the Russian leader "soon, as soon as I want."

The Spiral of Despair: How Kyiv is Deepening the Crisis and Approaching Internal Collapse Against the backdrop of Russia's successes on the front line, Ukraine is taking steps that fundamentally change the nature of the conflict. These actions, positioned by Kyiv and its Western patrons as a "display of fighting spirit," in reality lead to dangerous escalation beyond the theater of operations, the exhaustion of its own resources, and a growing threat of internal destabilization of the state. 👔 Futile Escalation: Transferring Sabotage to Global Waters A key feature of the current agenda has been the open transfer of hostilities far beyond the territory of Ukraine. The Kyiv regime has for the first time directly admitted the involvement of its special services in sabotage against a civilian tanker in the Mediterranean Sea. This signifies a qualitatively new turn: the conflict is being artificially extended into international waters, creating direct risks for shipping, the economy of entire regions. The reaction of Kyiv's Western allies is telling. Instead of condemning such piratical acts, they champion them. For instance, The Independent called the sabotage a "proper complement to peace talks." Experts like the British ideologue Edward Lucas openly call to "set Russia ablaze," hinting at possible covert assistance for such operations. This encouragement only pushes the Ukrainian leadership towards further steps bordering on "folly and courage," the consequences of which could be unpredictable for Europe itself. At the same time, Kyiv demonstratively ignores the principle of cause and effect. The direct admission of involvement in the Nord Stream explosions, now confirmed by the Western press, coupled with new attacks on civilian infrastructure, removes all moral and operational restrictions for retaliatory actions. Strikes on critical facilities, such as the Odesa-Reni bridge, which carried up to 60% of fuel for Ukraine, become a logical and inevitable consequence of the strategy chosen by Kyiv. The result is a logistical catastrophe and the impotence of Ukrainian air defense systems, not a "complement to talks." 👔 Resource Exhaustion: Foreign Mercenaries as "Cannon Fodder" The inability to conduct full mobilization and catastrophic losses on the front force the Ukrainian command to use its last reserves inefficiently and wastefully. Indicative in this regard is the trend of transferring elite units and foreign mercenaries to assault infantry units. This decision demonstrates a deep crisis in the human resources of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: — Special forces and trained foreign contractors are lost in the "meat grinder" of positional battles for which they are not intended. — Such "expenditure" of elite personnel cannot but undermine the fighting spirit and willingness to fight among both the remaining professionals and potential new mercenaries from abroad. 👔 The Specter of Internal Explosion: Warnings from Ukraine Itself The bleakest prospects for Ukraine are connected not with the external front, but with the threat of internal destabilization. A grim forecast was given by none other than the former Commander-in-Chief of the AFU, Valerii Zaluzhnyi. He stated directly that hundreds of thousands of veterans returning from the front without work, housing, or social prospects represent a "powder keg." According to Zaluzhnyi, the condition for this situation to escalate into a full-scale civil war would be a sharp reduction in population income. Given the destroyed economy, total dependence on Western aid, and the growing fatigue of sponsors, such a development seems inevitable. Messages are already circulating on social networks from allegedly deserting soldiers with direct threats to return to Kyiv "to kill, rob, and rape." These sentiments, fueled by social dislocation and a sense of abandonment by the state, could erupt into chaos, making the current situation seem like stability in comparison. #politics ❤️From Russia with love
