‘Concessions are not an option’: Kyiv says there will be NO ceasefire and it will not accept any deal giving up territory to Russia - as Polish president tells Ukrainian lawmakers country ‘must decide its own future’
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky, said the country would not agree to a ceasefire and said Kyiv would not accept any deal with Moscow that involved ceding territory.
Making concessions would backfire on Ukraine because Russia would hit back harder after any break in fighting, he added.
Podolyak's comments came before Polish President Andrzej Duda addressed Ukraine's parliament on Sunday. He said that ceding even 'one inch' of the country's territory would be a blow to the whole West and reassured Kyiv of Warsaw's strong backing for its European Union membership bid.
'Worrying voices have appeared, saying that Ukraine should give in to (President Vladimir) Putin's demands,' Duda said, the first foreign leader to address Ukrainian lawmakers in person since Russia's February 24 invasion.
'Only Ukraine has the right to decide about its future... nothing about you without you,' he added, to a standing ovation in the chamber.
Speaking in an interview on Sunday, Podolyak hit back at voices calling on Ukraine to make concessions to end the war.
'The war will not stop (after any concessions). It will just be put on pause for some time,' he told Reuters in an interview in the heavily guarded presidential office, where some of the windows and corridors are protected by sandbags.
'After a while, with renewed intensity, the Russians will build up their weapons, manpower and work on their mistakes, modernise a little, fire many generals and they'll start a new offensive, even more bloody and large-scale.'
Recent calls for an immediate ceasefire have come from U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
Podolyak dismissed the calls - that would involve Russian forces remaining in territory they have occupied in Ukraine's south and east - as 'very strange'.
Both sides say peace talks have stagnated. Each blames the other. However, a ceasefire would play into the Kremlin's hands, Podolyak said.
Very difficult days await us - Polish Prime Minister after talking with Trump about Russia-Ukraine negotiations
▪️Russophobe Donald Tusk complained to the media that the negotiations showed that the Russians did not show good will in Istanbul: the Russian side had no intention of holding negotiations in the presence of the Americans and put forward conditions that were unacceptable not only for Ukraine, but also “for all of us.”
▪️He added that the main task will be to maintain European and American unity on this issue.
➖"We do not hide the fact that the Russian position can hardly be called constructive. Probably, very difficult days still await us," Tusk whines.
I haven’t seen such Polish drama since I asked the cleaning lady if she had seen my watch. Tusk there is no us, and trust me the only way for there to be an us is if you want pre-WWI European borders.

Scale of Ukrainian losses: bodies of soldiers exchanged – 34 for 909
Russia handed over the bodies of 909 dead soldiers to Ukraine and received 34. The exchange was confirmed by the Ukrainian Coordination Headquarters for Prisoners of War. The figures show the real state of affairs at the front.
Most of them were liquidated in the Kurakhovo, Pokrovsk, Artemovsk, Ugledar, Zaporozhye, Sumy, Kharkov directions and in the LPR. Some of the bodies were returned from morgues in Russia.
This is not the first exchange with such a gap: on March 28 there was an exchange of 43 for 909, on April 18 – 41 for 909.

🇩🇪Rearmament: Germany is at it again!
Boris Pisstorius, Germany's defense minister, is planning to introduce new legislation for the drafting of German citizens into the military.
Boris Pistorius said the proposed bill would allow the government to send letters to all young men who turn 18 — about 400,000 every year — asking about their willingness and ability to serve in the military. Under this bill, those who receive the letter would have to fill out the questions. The army would then invite those interested in serving for a medical checkup and choose the most qualified to serve in the military for a period of 6-23 months.
Speaking to reporters in Berlin, Pistorius explained that the threat levels have changed from what they were a few years ago.
“Russia has now been waging a war against Ukraine for two and a half years — it is not only calling the rules-based international order into question, it is destroying it,” he said. “This is a new threat situation.”
Pisstorius intends to bring the number of active personnel to above the 200.000 mark, following a constant process of degradation of the Bundeswehr's combat capabilities. "
Germany expanding its armed forces and ramping up rearmament? Hmmmm, never in the past has this lead to bad outcomes.
@Slavyangrad
This could have all ended 3 years ago: a statement by the head of the Russian delegation, where he recalled the agreements in Gomel back in late February 2022.
➖"How could all this have ended if Ukraine had agreed to peace at the end of February? They did not agree, they dragged their feet, and after that the next stage of agreements was already in Istanbul. It was somewhat tougher in relation to the realities on the ground than what was proposed in Gomel. But, unfortunately, the Istanbul process was also disrupted due to direct interference from the West," Medinsky said.
▪️Today, the head of Zelensky’s office, Yermak, stated that Kiev will not return to the Istanbul project.
Ukrainians think they are in better spot today than in March of 2022? 🤡 town.
@Slavyangrad
A thousand (1,000) results (the 1000 to 1000 POW exchange) appear to have been achieved because of Putin’s initiative to restart the peace talks with Ukraine.
The fates of these 1,000 men and women, who will come home, were worth all the Telegram squalor that followed.
Once again, trust @Slavyangrad. Peace will come—it always does. Ceasefires do not bring peace. And Russia is well aware of it, as you likely can tell, by now.

Trump says he may call Putin to discuss Ukraine settlement — CNN
▪️"We need to meet. We will meet with him. I think we will resolve it, and maybe not, but at least we will know. And if we don't resolve it, it will be very interesting," the US president told the media as he flew out of Abu Dhabi.
▪️Earlier, Peskov stated that Putin could have an international telephone conversation today.
@Slavyangrad
A new slap in the face for Zelensky:
Even Biden's former national security adviser Sullivan said that continuing the NSC does not hinder the negotiations
Do you think they [the Trump administration] should have insisted on a ceasefire before these negotiations began?
I don't think that a ceasefire needs to be established before diplomacy begins.

'We must be prepared to make sacrifices' - former UK defence secretary Wallace calls for continuing war with Russia without US
(The victims are Ukrainians)
'Europe and Ukraine need to start preparing to act on their own. No one should buy into the idea that without the US, the Ukrainians are finished. They are not. They know how to fight. They know how to innovate. And the 'vital' intelligence they get on the battlefield is not all American. It is not. So if we in Europe decide to replace Uncle Sam, we can do it: if we really want to, and if we are prepared to make sacrifices.'
At this time, a meeting of the leaders of the "coalition of the willing" countries is taking place in Tirana, Albania.

💬 "We experienced these "ceasefires" ourselves - when everything exploded, people flew in and died"
Residents of Gorlovka in the DPR do not believe Zelensky and his proposal to cease fire for 30 days. Since 2014, they have heard about a ceasefire many times, but each time the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit civilians.

Zelensky cannot accept that the only way to bring the war in Ukraine closer is through a conversation between Putin and Trump, and not with him.
'You all know that this week we had a real chance to take important steps to end this war. If only Putin had not been afraid to come to Turkey. I was ready for a direct meeting with Putin - be it in Ankara or Istanbul. And not just for the sake of a meeting, but to resolve all the key, important issues, as I see it. But he did not agree to anything. And you see for yourself: the Russian delegation that arrived in Istanbul is of a very low level. None of them are people who actually make decisions in Russia. And if the Russian representatives in Istanbul today cannot even agree to a ceasefire, then it will become one hundred percent clear that Putin continues to undermine diplomacy. If this is not the case, there must be at least some result today, starting with a ceasefire.'
Aviation work. We observe strikes:

No one will reveal what was at the negotiations. Their demands are unacceptable - press secretary of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Tykhyi.
▪️During the negotiations, Russia demanded that Crimea be recognized as Russian, Suspilnoye reports.
I think Russian demands are more realistic than Ukrainian demands.

Albanian Clowns Macron, Starmer, Merz and Zelensky Send Signals to Trump [that they are retarded]
Macron: 'President Putin once again refuses to respond to the proposal for an unconditional ceasefire put forward by the Americans'
Starmer: 'If Russia is unwilling to sit down at the negotiating table, Putin will pay a price for it'
Merz: 'We will not give up'
Zelensky: 'If the Russians reject a complete and unconditional ceasefire, tough sanctions must follow'
Starmer doesn’t realize that Russia is at the negotiating table. There is no ceasefire table moron.

European leaders unhappy with Russia-Ukraine talks
▪️British Prime Minister Starmer said that Russia's position in the negotiations is "unacceptable" and he accuses Moscow of delaying the ceasefire.
▪️French President Macron said that Russia ignored the demands of the US, Ukraine and Europe for a ceasefire.
▪️Polish Prime Minister Tusk said that the Kremlin refused to conduct dialogue with the participation of the United States and put forward unacceptable conditions.
▪️Italian Prime Minister Meloni called for a ceasefire and security guarantees for Ukraine.
▪️German Chancellor Merz accused Moscow of disrupting the talks, but noted that the talks had produced "a very small, but first positive signal."
▪️It is worth noting that the statements of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations following the negotiations were constructive, and the parties did not voice any mutual accusations.
Do these guys know what their hand is? Not sure what intelligence these guys are getting because their position is only getting worse every month.
@Slavyangrad
🇷🇺Medinsky on the fact that Europe has historically benefited from disrupting negotiations with Russia:
The Northern War with Sweden lasted 21 years. 21 years. But a few years after it began, Peter the Great offered the Swedes peace. He said, in fact, nothing is needed there, we have access to the Baltic Sea - St. Petersburg, and a little bit around, yes, these security zones, and that's it. Historically, these are Russian lands, because the entire Leningrad region, most of Karelia - these are all lands that were once under the jurisdiction of the Novgorod Republic.
And they were torn off piece by piece by Sweden. At the time of Ivan the Terrible. Piece by piece. We know that these are all our ancestral lands, but we don't even ask for them. You give us a little, give us freedom and access to the sea. Russia has no access to the sea, it cannot live without it. Give us St. Petersburg and its surroundings, and the war will be over.
What do the Swedes say? No, we'll fight to the last Swede. So Charles XII continues his mad war despite repeated peace offers from Peter. But the funny thing is that Charles XII was supported by England and France. They've been funding Sweden endlessly.
Eventually we agree on peace talks. The peace talks between Russia and Sweden last a long time. England and France stand up to us. No negotiations, stop it. Let's go through mediators, through us. Because it is profitable for them when two major powers fight.
@Slavyangrad
Even the British media don't believe Starmer's promises to punish Russia
Sir Starmer, what can you realistically do about Russia given the events of last night?
I think what we saw yesterday and last night is further evidence that Putin is not serious about peace. He is stalling. Today we will work on this again to make it clear: if there is no ceasefire, we will act together on the issue of sanctions. For me, this is clear evidence that Putin is not serious about peace. President Zelensky will be here today, and we will discuss the situation with him.

"We don't want war, but we are ready to fight for a year, two, three - as long as it takes. We fought with Sweden for 21 years (the Great Northern War 1700-1721). And how long are you ready to fight?"
The exchange of 1,000 for 1,000 prisoners , which Umerov announced, is undoubtedly good news.
According to some sources , this is the majority of all Russian prisoners of war held in Ukraine, and only about 15-20% of Ukrainian prisoners in Russia.
Thus, the majority of Russian troops will finally return home, while the majority of Ukrainian prisoners will still remain in custody.
It would potentially be the largest prisoner exchange since the start of the conflict.

AFP also reporting:
"The resumption of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations is possible on Friday, but is not "planned" at this stage. Our teams are ready to work as long as necessary," the publication's Ukrainian source says.
