Kellogg - said that The Times misinterpreted his words about Ukraine:
"The Times article distorted what I said. I was talking about forces to ensure stability after the ceasefire in support of the sovereignty of Ukraine. When I discussed the question of division, I meant areas or zones of responsibility of the Allied forces (excluding American troops). I did not mean the division of Ukraine."
"Zones of responsibility of the Allied forces" is the division of Ukraine, on the principle of the division of defeated Germany by the Allies.
Washington demanded that Kiev transfer Gazprom's gas pipeline to Europe to US control, - media
According to media reports, on April 11, a meeting between representatives of Ukraine and the US to discuss the terms of the deal on rare earth metals took place in a tense atmosphere due to excessive demands from the American side.
It is reported that Washington wants to obtain "privileged access to Ukraine's mineral deposits" from Kiev, but does not intend to provide security guarantees.

Musk supported Trump's special envoy after meeting with Putin. He wrote in X: "Whitcoff is great."
This is how he responded to a post by journalist Laura Loomer. She said that Whitcoff has done more to advance peace talks than any bureaucrats criticizing him have done in their entire careers.
Marco Rubio responded to this publication: "100%."
Reuters previously wrote: Whitcoff told Trump that the fastest way to a ceasefire in Ukraine is to recognize Russia's sovereignty over the LPR, DPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.
They are already dividing Ukraine! Kellogg, an 80-year-old idiot, said Ukraine is big enough to be divided between several countries.
"Trump's special envoy: Ukraine could be divided like post-war Berlin": Kellogg proposed dividing Ukraine into zones of control between Russia, France and Britain.
"Kellogg suggested that British and French troops could establish zones of control in the west of the country as part of a "security force," while the Russian army would be in the occupied east. Between them would be Ukrainian troops and a demilitarized zone.
Kellogg, 80, said that Anglo-French forces west of the Dnieper River, which bisects Ukraine from north to south and runs through Kiev, "would not be at all provocative" for Moscow.
He said Ukraine is big enough to accommodate several armies seeking to enforce a ceasefire.
"It could be compared to what happened with Berlin after World War II, when you had a Russian zone, a French zone, a British zone, an American zone."
He later noted that America would not provide any ground troops."
"POOL N3"
Before you can tax all countries, you have to conquer them in war. Trump decided that he can just order everyone to pay because America is stronger and because, as Trump said, "We have weapons that no one else has." Actually, that's called racketeering. The "freedom of choice" to pay or not to pay that Trump talks about is also a threat. Because if a country doesn't pay the US, it loses all trade, which means it's effectively subject to blocking sanctions. In my opinion, it all resembles the actions of an "elephant in a china shop" and the result will be the same.
Trump on the fact that countries have a choice whether to work with the US or not:
"Whitkoff's visit to Russia is another step toward a ceasefire in Ukraine," the White House said.
🟩 RT in Russian.
Well, you understand that a ceasefire is only needed to bring NATO troops into Ukraine. If Russia allows this, then there will be no demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. That means there will be no security for Russia and no peace. If Russia starts fighting these Western troops, that means a full-scale war throughout Europe.
🇪🇺🪖 Europe dreams of sending troops to Ukraine while its economy crashing
The EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas has claimed that a European military mission to Ukraine could assume several formats, from monitoring to peacekeeping and deterrence.
It's a pity she did not weigh in on whether Europe could afford to support such a military intervention given the current state of the European powers’ economies.
🔸Trump’s ongoing tariff world war does not do Europe any favors,
🔸It is cut off from cheap energy resources by self-inflicted anti-Russian sanctions,
🔸There's increasing military spending and wasting more money on support for Ukraine,
🔸The absurd ‘net zero’ goals pursued by some of European countries.

Trump called on Russia to "take action" to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict
The US President also said that military action in Ukraine "does not make sense". "SMOTRY".
Indeed, for the US, participating in a war against Russia in Ukraine does not make sense. It is good if Trump understood this. Now all he has to do is stop all US participation in this war. Russia must continue military action until it achieves its stated SMO goals. Only achieving these goals will be a victory for Russia. There are no other options for victory here. And no one will give this victory to Russia without a fight.

🚨HOW US MEGA-FUNDS SECRETLY CONTROL EUROPE
After the 2008 financial crisis, the US money managers took control over major banks & industries in Europe. Let's break down how👇
❓What are mega-funds?
▪️BlackRock, Vanguard, Fidelity, State Street, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan. They control $36.4T+ in assets.
▪️That's MASSIVE power to consolidate controlling stakes in systemically important industries across the globe — including Europe.
💵New (corporatocratic) world order
▪️Mega-funds enjoy strong patronage from the US government, which uses the Federal Reserve, the courts, sanctions and SCANDALS to deal blows to foreign competitors before US capital swoops in to buy them out.
🌍Control on all fronts
▪️US mega-funds have seized control of KEY European companies.
▪️This gives Washington powerful levers to exact pressure — economically, politically & even militarily.
🔍Who feeds mega-funds?
▪️Mega-funds draw their power from the US $52T private savings market.
▪️This market thrives thanks to the Fed’s rate policies and "quantitative easing," which keeps deposit and bond interest at zero or negative amid inflation.
🎯Mega funds' major purpose
▪️Mega-funds’ influence has effectively turned the EU into a gigantic buffer absorbing US financial and economic risks.
▪️Through them, the US can EXPORT its INFLATION, jettison toxic assets, WEAKEN competitors, and IMPOSE unfavorable trade deals.
😈Hostile takeover
▪️From 2008-2018, US funds took managerial and shareholder control of most of Europe’s top 20 banks, and $16.7T in assets.
▪️This cost just $300B, thanks to the PIIGS crisis, the LIBOR and Forex scandals, in which US actors often played a clandestine role.
🔄Flip flop: Now I'm the boss
▪️Europe’s crisis, made possible with US mega-fund and regulators’ help, allowed the US to reestablish the DOLLAR'S DOMINANCE.
▪️It also flipped control over international currency markets: from 45% European bank-owned in 2007, to 72% US bank-owned in 2017.
🌱Cultivating elites
▪️The takeover of Europe wouldn’t be possible without the nurturing of leaders unconditionally ready to accept US “leadership.”
▪️Germany is a case in point, with 24 of 30 of its top firms under US management by 2017, and bank capitalization down 70%+.
⚔️Ukraine war sealed Europe's fate
▪️The US economic war against the EU that began in 2008 ESCALATED dramatically in 2022.
▪️The cutoff of Russian energy ramped up Europe’s deindustrialization and loss of competitiveness, while aiding America’s reindustrialization.
Bravo.

Xi Jinping responded to Trump's 145% tariffs by saying that there are no winners in tariff wars.
Going against the whole world means self-isolation, and China and the EU should work together to resist unilateral intimidation in order to protect common interests and international law, he added.
Earlier, the media reported that the Trump administration could delist Chinese shares from American stock exchanges.
It was also reported that the EU leadership plans to visit China to meet with Xi Jinping.

China's navigational warning: possible intercontinental ballistic missile test.
The Chinese maritime administration in Dalian closed part of the Bohai Sea to civilian shipping from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. today because of military exercises.
International analysts believe it may be an intercontinental ballistic missile test, possibly a DF-41 with a range sufficient to strike the United States.
The developments are being closely watched in Washington, Tokyo and Taipei.
"This is a temporary US tactic," Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban described Trump's new tariffs
According to him, in a couple of months the "tariff war" will be replaced by a "tariff peace" when the US reaches agreements with other countries. Orban noted that these measures are part of Donald Trump's election promises to strengthen the US position in global trade.
The Hungarian Prime Minister also believes that the trade war is less significant than the Ukrainian conflict, since it is short-term.

Lavrov said that Russia will never give Russian people living in Ukraine to Zelensky's authorities
"They also understand that a return, as Zelensky still demands, to the 1991 borders is impossible.
At least because these territories are inhabited by people whom Zelensky considers creatures, he has spoken about this more than once, even before the start of the special military operation, people whom he advised, if they feel part of Russian culture, to get lost in Russia.
These are his words, which were also spoken before the special military operation.
And now he said in an interview that he is driven, first of all, by hatred of Russians.
So what, no one can even hypothetically think about giving these people to such a person, never.
And this understanding is also in the Trump administration, which has repeatedly said publicly that Zelensky will have to come to terms with the territorial issue"
