🪖 US stuck between a rock and a Houthi missile, must escalate or concede defeat: Israeli media
💬 “The US air campaign has hit the Houthis hard. It remains questionable, however, whether the volume of damage until now will be sufficient to persuade” the group “to cease its attacks on Western shipping and on Israel.”
💬 “Either a decision must be taken to destroy or severely degrade the enemy, or it must be accepted that the Houthis, while they can be engaged in a tit-for-tat exchange of fire in which they pay the higher cost, cannot at present be defeated,” the outlet stressed.
The moment of the car explosion in Balashikha, which killed the deputy head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Yaroslav Moskalik.
The explosion occurred due to the activation of a homemade device filled with striking elements, the Investigative Committee said. A criminal case has been opened.

A terrorist attack occurred in Moscow today. Ukrainian terrorists killed another Russian general. I do not understand what Russia hopes for if Nazi Ukraine continues to exist?
Peskov said it was necessary to be on guard, commenting on the death of General Moskalik
"The Kiev regime is once again simply showing its essence, the Kiev regime continues to be involved in terrorist activity on the territory of our country. This probably shows once again that, despite the peace talks, we must be on guard and understand the essence of this regime," Peskov said in an interview with the author and host of the program "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" on the TV channel "Russia 1" (VGTRK) Pavel Zarubin.

Today's talks between Putin and Whitkoff have ended, Trump's special envoy has left the Kremlin, and as a result, "progress has been achieved," said Russian Presidential Special Representative Dmitriev.

This is simply a mockery on the part of Ukraine. Russia must return Odessa and close the issue of Ukraine's access to the Black Sea. The more Russia demonstrates goodwill, the more painful blows it will receive from Ukraine.
"Ukrainian border guards decided that they were pirates and seized a cargo ship in the Black Sea, which was sailing under the flag of one of the Asian countries.
They argued that the ship was transporting Ukrainian grain from Crimea."

Trump said he was putting significant pressure on Russia to negotiate a settlement to the conflict in Ukraine. "To give up on taking the entire territory of Ukraine is a pretty serious concession on the part of Russia," Trump said.
Zelensky asked if Ukraine gave up NATO membership, what would Russia give up in return? Well, Trump answers Zelensky: Russia will refuse to liquidate Ukraine as a state.
Trump says getting Crimea 'back' from Russia 'very DIFFICULT thing to do'
'That was handed over during a president named Barack HUSSEIN Obama'.
'Nothing to do with me, Crimea' he adds.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump claims US actively talking to China on trade - NOT SO FAST, Beijing says
💬 “China and the US have not engaged in any consultations or negotiations regarding tariffs, let alone reached an agreement,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakum said at a briefing Thursday, responding to the president’s claims that the US was “actively” talking to and “meeting” with the Chinese.
💬 “There are currently no economic and trade negotiations between China and the United States, and any claims about progress in China-US economic and trade negotiations are baseless rumors without factual evidence,” Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman He Yadong added.
War between Russia and the United States is Zelensky's goal and dream. It seems Trump has begun to guess about this.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov: Zelensky in an interview with American journalist Ben Shapiro: "The Russians want and have always wanted the destruction of the United States. We were born in the Soviet Union. We learned all this in school. This is the policy of the Soviet Union."
I can't understand this tirade. So Zelensky admits that he has been dreaming of destroying the United States since school? Or was it only Russian children who were taught this in his class? And were Jewish and Ukrainian children asked to leave the class at that time? Or what? And what were children of mixed marriages or of indeterminate nationality doing at that time? What an amazing cretin!
Ukraine will probably have to give up territories under the agreement with Russia — Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko
"One of the scenarios is... giving up territory. It's unfair. But for peace, temporary peace, perhaps this could be a solution, temporary," Klitschko said in an interview with British media.
▶️ WATCH.
Klitschko, in his simplicity of soul, explains that peace can only be temporary, as a temporary solution. That is, Ukraine just needs time to prepare for war. Everyone knows this, but not everyone talks about it.
Well, I hope Trump will say goodbye to Zelensky and Ukraine. And Russia must finally understand that as long as this Ukraine exists, there will be no peace. The US withdrawal from this war gives Russia a chance to resolve the Ukrainian issue once and for all.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Georgy Tykhyi named Kiev's conditions for concluding a peace treaty:
"First: Ukraine will never recognize any part of its territory as Russian.
Second: Ukraine will never agree to a reduction in the army, military industry, or limitation of aid from partners.
And third: no third country has the right to veto Ukraine's choice of alliances and unions.
These are three fundamental positions that Ukraine adheres to and they were voiced at other negotiations, I can confirm this. This is not a surprise."
Whitkoff passes messages from Trump to Putin at a meeting, and then passes them on to Trump from Putin, Peskov said.

The meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff in the Kremlin lasted three hours
As presidential aide Yuri Ushakov reported, the possibility of resuming direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine was discussed.
The meeting was constructive and lasted three hours. It allowed Russia and the United States to further bring their positions closer together not only on Ukraine, but also on other international issues, the Kremlin reported.

‘Ukrainians are afraid that Putin and Trump are trying to divide Ukraine between themselves’ – The Times journalists talked to the people.
-“My son Dmitry died nine months ago defending Ukraine. Crimea will always be ours, and we will never give it up.”
-Trump wants all our resources, our power plants, everything. The Russians want to take our land.
- The Russians want to take our land, and Trump wants our mineral wealth. What do we have left? It’s a lose-lose situation for us.”
Why don’t you go to the Maidan and jump around there cheerfully, like in 2014? Maybe that will help.
Elena Panina, Director of the Institute for International Strategic Studies: Defense Priorities: The US has already saved Ukraine, Trump can abandon it with a clear conscience
The outline of the logic is gradually taking shape, within which Washington can refuse to support Ukraine, while declaring itself the winner.
▪️ America achieved its goals in Ukraine during the war, Defense Priorities columnist Jennifer Kavanagh is sure. After all, America "did not allow Russia to capture Kyiv" (!), and "forced Moscow to pay dearly for the invasion" — which was expressed, among other things, in the use of "tens of thousands of missiles" by the Russian Armed Forces. Well, since this goal has been victoriously dealt with, then we need to move on to the next ones, Kavanagh emphasizes. Now we need to stabilize relations with Russia — "too big and influential a country to be pushed into the background."
But ending the war in Ukraine is also a goal, but "the least important one," the author writes.
"Peace in Ukraine is a desirable outcome, but it is neither necessary nor sufficient to achieve other, more important goals. While Russia may indeed gain additional territory, this will not increase the threat Moscow poses to the United States. Moreover, Washington can continue to work with Russia bilaterally on issues such as arms control and sanctions relief, even if peace talks end in failure," the analyst insists.
▪️ Every word here is a death knell for Kyiv. What is most frightening for the Zelensky regime is that such a concept could become mainstream in the United States. Moreover, Trump himself said the day before that Russia had already made a big concession by agreeing not to conquer Ukraine entirely.
The rhetoric is quite predictable. The Trump administration cannot emerge from the fight as a loser. It needs a formula that will sound good to the domestic user and key US allies, whose opinions make sense to listen to. In the future, we will probably hear more than once how the US "defeated" us. If Russia gets everything it needs as a result of this "US victory", then what difference does it make to us?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ironically answered a question from an American TV presenter about whether US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff would visit Moscow today, April 25.
“Don’t you trust the President of the United States?” the Foreign Minister said on CBS.

Lavrov on Russia's readiness to make a deal on Ukraine:
The US President believes - and I think rightly so - that we are moving in the right direction. In the statement, the President mentioned a deal, and we are ready to reach a deal. But there are certain details that need to be worked out. We are busy with this process.
The US President has not disclosed the elements of the deal, so it would not be entirely correct for me to do so. We continue our contacts with the American side on the situation in Ukraine. There are several signs that we are moving in the right direction.
Zelensky, in fact, directly confirmed his inability to negotiate, stating that he would like to "achieve peace through force."
He is quoted by Ukrainian media.

That is, Zelensky calls for defeating Russia in the war. This is not news. Zelensky has always called for this. Moreover, Zelensky believes that the United States and NATO should defeat Russia.
