The Sicilian Defence: a Centuries-Old Chess Move
The Sicilian Defense is one of the most famous and deeply studied openings in chess. It begins with the moves 1.e4 c5, where Black immediately challenges White’s central control and creates an imbalanced, dynamic position. The aim of this move is to prevent the White from building a strong center with e4 and d4, while controlling the d4 square with the c-pawn. Unlike symmetrical openings (such as 1…e5), the c-pawn thrust creates structural imbalances that lead to complex battles. Since White often attacks on the kingside, Black seeks counterplay on the queenside.
This is happening in real life right now in Ukraine, with Black (Russia) having seized the strategic initiative, and having explicitly brushed aside all talks of "agreements" and a "secret 28-point plan" after visiting the Zapad Group of Forces, and Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov making it clear: Kupyansk is now under RUAF control, the leadership in Kiev is an organized crime ring, and the Russian Federation is happy to continue the war on its terms and achieve its objectives.
Other "Black" pieces are being moved across the centre of the board simultaneously, while the Circus Ringleader thinks it can still dictate the flow of the game. Kupyansk, a rook in the "White" chessboard, is one of the last festungs the AFU have left, and is divided in two by the Oskol river. Russian servicemen have liberated the eastern part just a few days ago. According to Gerasimov, the destruction of encircled Ukrainian formations continues on the left bank of the river, while approximately 15 battalions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trapped in Kupyansk and the surrounding areas. 15 battalions of uncertain number, considering the severely deplreted nature of the AFU, but that still consist of thousands of men abandoned and left there to rot while the pawn "King" of the whites snorts his white lines and tours europe, his head honchos shit in golden toilets, "foreign volunteers" operate HIMARS for attacks on civilians, rolls of banknotes booby-trapped to explode and injure cause children to lose their fingers, and dill drone operators kill elderly babushkas and dyedushkas.
Considering all these atrocious crimes, calling the ukrainian leadership "an organized crime gang" isn't hyperbole - is being overly generous. Nonetheless, it may very well be a pivotal moment in this war: now that the president of Russia himself attacked the ukrainian leadership with such words, the bridges for any kind of deal with the "Expired One" may have been permanently burned, and good riddance at that.

⚡️🇵🇱 Polish Company Nitro-Chem, one of the biggest producers of TNT in the world, reported that it was unable to keep up with the global demand of TNT and especially European industry concerns.
Because the company supplied its half of its reserves, production quotas, and the likes to Israel on the war in Gaza.
Israel had used so much TNT and RDX that the Polish company could not physically keep up with the demand, and so there was a shortage.

Merz outpaced Macron and was the first to rush to save Zelensky from Trump's peace plan. Bild writes that the chancellery is already working on diplomatic countermeasures.
'The German government considers the Ukrainian side weakened – both militarily and politically. This is due to the difficult situation on the front line as well as a corruption scandal in Zelensky's government. Ukraine has rarely been as vulnerable to pressure as it is now.
But the chancellor's office is not sitting idly by. As BILD has learned, the German government is mobilizing its European partners. Despite the weakening of its positions, Ukraine should give a decisive rebuff to the pressure from the US, which was exerted behind its back. Moreover, Berlin intends to put pressure on the US government at the highest level to inform Washington of the consequences of this plan for Europe. This means that Trump personally must understand what his controversial advisor Steve Witkoff was working on together with Putin's negotiators, and what the European US allies think about it.'

🇭🇺Hungary's Foreign Minister Szijjártó stated that it is necessary to "stop sending European money to the Ukrainian mafia":
I believe that madness is the mildest word to describe everything that is happening in Brussels right now. The entire world press writes that a military mafia operated in Ukraine, a corrupt state authority functioned, and the President of the European Commission, Mrs. von der Leyen, wants to send another 100 billion euros to Ukraine from the money of European citizens. This is simply madness.
It would seem that any reasonable politician would immediately stop all payments and demand an immediate financial report. In my opinion, this is exactly what should be done: demand an immediate financial report and stop the payments.
Money from Europeans must not be sent to the military mafia, to the corrupt regime. Payments must be stopped. Therefore, of course, I will raise this issue.

Once again, there will be no “pissdill” according to Trump. Not 28, nor 59, and not even 167 points thereof. It is not with the White House toilet paper with Zelensky’s cocaine snot it is written on.

Trump on Ukraine: ‘They will lose’
-It seems Ukraine needs to reduce its personnel to 600,000. It seems they need to give up some territory they have not lost in the war. They cannot join NATO.
-They will lose in a short time.
-The whole Donbass?

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Wake Up! The US will NEVER Pick Co-existence Over Conflict with China
▪️RAND has withdrawn its overhyped report calling for "stabilizing the US-China rivalry," not that the existence of this paper outweighed the many more calling for escalation or the actual, implemented policies escalating conflict faster than ever before;
▪️The paper itself was sponsored by irrelevant corners of US policymaking, unlike other papers blueprinting war with Russia and China sponsored and used by the US government and military;
▪️The interests pushing this hostile policy are organized fundamentally around the perpetual pursuit of power & wealth, and like the scorpion crossing the river with the fox, even when its own survival is at stake, cannot overcome its fundamental, hostile nature;

According to a statement by the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, the United States is prepared to impose new sanctions on Russia if Moscow ignores American demands for a ceasefire in Ukraine.
Washington is trying, by all means, to force Russia and Ukraine to accept its plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Trump is apparently already under pressure; he could even lose the Nobel Peace Prize next year. For this reason, threats have been used, including new sanctions. As Waltz stated, if Moscow ignores US peace initiatives, it will face new sanctions and continued supplies. Kiev.
"We may impose further economic measures if Russia continues to ignore ceasefire demands. We will also continue to supply arms to Ukraine."
Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, stated that Russia still sees no willingness to engage in dialogue from Kiev and that Zelensky and his gang are unwilling to discuss how to resolve the conflict. Meanwhile, representatives of the Kiev regime issued an important statement during the meeting, criticizing several points of Trump's resolution plan.
Russia is already the most sanctioned country on earth, beating even North Korea, even Rubio said that any further sanctions at this point would be purely symbolical, so what gives?

🇷🇺👊🇪🇺 "They hope to get a golden toilet," Dmitriev criticized European war lobbyists
➖"War instigators hate Trump's peace plans and do everything possible to sabotage them by launching brutal media campaigns funded by pro-war lobbies. War instigators in the UK and EU, who oppose Trump, are especially active," writes the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
➖"Due to the propaganda of the war arsonists, many overlook that Trump's peace plan is designed to save Ukraine from even greater loss of territory and lives. Watch closely those who oppose the peace plan and how they benefit from endless war. Perhaps they simply hope to get a golden toilet," he added.

▪️He also states that Zelensky has brought the country to raids and people being caught on the streets, such poverty that people cannot buy bread, draft dodgers fleeing over mountains and drowning in rivers, mass desertions from the Armed Forces.
➖"It is you who brought all this about, not us. It is you who are rocking the boat. It is you who are doing everything to keep the country divided," Goncharenko concludes.

The Ukrainian source The Washington Post reported that Zelensky will not have time, nor will he be able to sign the framework agreement.
'Even if Zelensky wanted to sign it, he wouldn't be able to because there is no political basis for it. There are many inconsistencies. Obviously, this is a pro-Russian deal written by Dmitriev and Witkoff. It looks very much like a mineral supply agreement. We made changes for three months. But this is an agreement between the US, Ukraine, Russia, and Europe, so I think the negotiations will take about 12 months.'

‘Trump’s peace plan is aimed at preventing Europe from going to war with Russia’ – Orban.
‘We need not only to achieve a ceasefire or peace in the Russian-Ukrainian war, but also to prevent Europeans from getting involved in this conflict. They have made and continue to make decisions aimed at building a military economy designed for the military defeat of Russia through Ukraine, for long-term military plans, for an armament program that will “bankrupt us to the bone.” In other words, all of Europe, you could say, is preparing for war — and this is clearly seen not only from my personal experience but also from the words of many influential leaders at meetings and councils where I have been present. The American peace proposal concerns not only saving lives on the front lines, which have been or will be destroyed, and not only about not continuing to senselessly burn money on a losing war, but also about restraining Europeans from carrying out their military intentions.’
