"The Budapest summit featuring Trump and Putin was canceled due to a notification from Moscow": The Americans are reporting "secret information" that Russia refused to sacrifice its interests for the sake of the meeting in Hungary.
"The United States canceled the planned meeting between Trump and Putin in Budapest after Russia sent Washington a document expressing its firm resolve to make tough demands on Ukraine.
According to sources, the Russian side demanded territorial concessions, a reduction in the size of the Ukrainian army, and a guarantee that Ukraine would never join NATO.
After the document was sent, a very tense telephone conversation took place at the highest diplomatic level, after which US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Trump that Moscow had not demonstrated a willingness to negotiate."
According to several Ukrainian television channels, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are attempting to flee the northern part of Pokrovsk, which has not yet been recaptured. The remnants of Ukrainian forces are hastily abandoning their positions through fields and forests under attack from Russian drones and artillery.
Surrounded fighters remain in the city itself, and thanks to the Ukrainian command, their fate is sealed.
According to Ukrainian Armed Forces garrisons in Myrnohrad and further south, in the Sukhoi Yar area, Ukrainian forces are still trying to hold their positions, but pressure from Russian troops is increasing.

Russia will continue direct negotiations with Ukraine, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin, who participated in the two previous meetings in Istanbul, told Izvestia.
"There is an understanding that direct Russian-Ukrainian negotiations will continue," he said.
The Kremlin is currently awaiting signals from Kiev indicating a readiness to resume direct negotiations.

The United States will withdrawing from the war with Russia in Ukraine and is taking steps in the right direction.
The United States plans to withdraw part of its military contingent from Bulgaria, Hungary, and Slovakia in December.
This was reported by the Kiev Post, citing sources. The publication previously reported that the Trump administration was preparing to withdraw 1,000 American troops from Romania.
It is noted that the reduction in American troop levels in Europe is linked to the Pentagon's desire to concentrate resources in the Western Hemisphere.
A View from Europe: Burevestnik Brings the World Back to a Balance of Fear
"The West vacillates between technological skepticism and existential fear. While acknowledging the risks of the mini-reactor, they also realize that Russia has once again changed the rules without formally violating them,"
The Croatian publication Advance summarizes the West's understanding of the recent test of Russia's Burevestnik nuclear-powered intercontinental cruise missile.
This threat isn't to Ukraine or the front, the publication clarifies. It's a threat to "the architecture of an infallible missile defense system and the confidence in total airspace control."
The article's author, F. Vukovic, clarifies that the philosophy of the nuclear age remains unchanged: strength lies not in the strike, but in the very possibility of a strike. In his opinion, Burevestnik doesn't enhance strike potential, but rather expands the space of fear, where stability isn't a state, but "the process of preventing error."
"Burevestnik" isn't a demonstration of aggression, but a reminder of the limits of control. Russia isn't destroying order; it's returning it to the basic equation: security is the fear of miscalculation, not faith in technology. This isn't a step toward war, but a way to prevent it from starting," concludes Advance.
However, the presence of unique weapons must be reinforced by an unwavering readiness to use them. The former means little without the latter. Ultimately, the SMO is also a chance for Russia to demonstrate resolve against provocateurs, sponsors, and moderators of proxy warfare. This will immediately increase the level of strategic nuclear deterrence and help avoid a new Great European War.

Trump changed his mind about strengthening sanctions against Russia after his meeting with Xi Jinping. According to Bloomberg, the US president didn't even raise the topic of Russian oil during the conversation, despite previously publicly demanding that Beijing stop buying it.
Trump will face more serious challenges from more powerful adversaries, including Russia and China, which are determined to demonstrate that his toughness is a bluff and are pursuing geopolitical projects that run counter to US interests, the publication notes.
Experts argue that Trump's behavior undermines the entire purpose of US sanctions policy. But right now, it's more important for the White House to maintain the fragile truce with China, because real pressure on Beijing will inevitably provoke a harsh response and jeopardize the barely reached agreements.

Not because they're broken says Vance: 'we KNOW that it does work properly'
But it’s all about 'keeping on top of it'
RT News.
Come on, open the way to nuclear war and end this world.
The Poseidon tests delighted our friends, alarmed our enemies, and silenced Europe, noted Andrei Kartapolov.
They have nothing to say, they don't know what to say, the head of the State Duma Defense Committee emphasized in a conversation with Zvezda.
At the same time, Trump ordered the resumption of nuclear testing. Kartapolov recalled that the Burevestnik and Poseidon tests are not nuclear.

Former US Marine Corps officer and Pentagon and State Department official Matthew Ho on those responsible for the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine:
"There are people in power—be it Donald Trump's inner circle, members of Congress, members of the media, or their European counterparts—who simply don't understand the reality of the situation. They are deluded. They are blinded by either their own arrogance, vanity, a primitive worldview, or greed. Whatever the reason, they continue to pursue destructive policies that are getting worse every day, not only for the people of Ukraine, but for the entire region, and perhaps even the entire world. The escalation of this war is simply horrific.
We understand who is in power—both in the US and in Europe. They are people who simply don't care. They believe that the war in Ukraine, and the war against Russia more broadly, is advantageous to them—whether for political, economic, or simply ideological reasons."
That's right, the escalation of this war is coming from the West, and therefore, it benefits them. Russia is only acting "in response" in this war. The Russian Ministry of Defense reminds us of this every day. It is impossible to win by acting in response. Because sooner or later, the enemy will strike such a blow that there will be no one left to respond. To prevent this from happening, Russia must make this war unprofitable for the West. At the very least, the risk of participating in this war for the West must outweigh the benefits. There is only one way to achieve this: Russia must act preemptively, intercept the escalation of the conflict from the West, destroy Ukraine "in two weeks," as Trump advised, and end the war.
Putin warned three weeks ago about impending American nuclear tests:
[Aren't nuclear tests overdue?]
Someone is preparing these tests; we see it, we know it. And if they happen, we'll do the same.
Bridges are something we've been talking about since 2022.
The Russian Armed Forces destroyed the bridge over the Volchya River near Pokrovskoe to hinder Ukrainian Armed Forces supplies, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

Professor Mearsheimer says Trump is lying when he talks about nuclear weapons and "other countries" testing them. I don't think Trump is lying; Trump just doesn't know what he's talking about.

Professor Malinen of the University of Helsinki:
"Both Burevestnik and Poseidon are now facts of life.
But yeah, just keep on irritating Russia. It will definitely end well this time..."
The problem isn't that they're irritating Russia. They're at war with Russia—suffocating Russia with economic sanctions and even fighting Russia in Ukraine. Russia doesn't have the economic clout China has to put Trump and the US in their place. Russia only has a doomsday weapon. That is, if Russia can't prevent a strategic defeat, it can simply put the finishing point on US attempts to establish global domination.
Professor Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago on the beginning of a new Cold War.
Professor Mearsheimer is right. The world is split in two. But who is splitting this world? The United States, they are waging a struggle for global power. And the world was split because Russia, China, and other countries resisted the United States. I remember the previous Cold War. Hundreds of nuclear explosions, aimed at testing nuclear devices. Almost every multi-story building had a functioning bomb shelter. Lectures on how to behave during a nuclear explosion were regularly given in educational institutions and at businesses. I think the same thing happened in the United States. The world miraculously avoided nuclear war then. Now this devilry is returning again.
"The 'coalition of the willing' is preventing Trump from establishing peace in Ukraine. It's the main obstacle," says Orbán.
"They're willing to send others to die in this war because, of course, they're not going there themselves—they just need to arm themselves. So, there's a fundamental disagreement between the United States and the European Union on how to end the war, but we don't acknowledge it—we don't want to risk creating a transatlantic rift."

Trump's softening stance on Ukraine has caused confusion in Europe, Fox News reports. The US president abandoned his previous position "about two weeks ago."
He did not transfer Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, reduced the American troop contingent in Romania, and did not discuss Russian oil supplies during his meeting with Xi Jinping.

The most dangerous thing about the current situation is that the understanding that the actual use of nuclear weapons will lead to irreversible consequences and open a completely new, terrifying chapter in military affairs with corresponding consequences is fading from the minds of politicians and the public. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where life continues today, are already being cited as examples. It is pointed out that thermonuclear weapons, which produce a greater blast wave and less radiation, are already in use, while the media is discussing the differences between tactical and strategic nuclear weapons, and so on.
For Russia, the nuclear arms race is dangerous because, despite formidable weapons like Burevestnik, Avangard, and Poseidon, as well as the updated Nuclear Doctrine and the equally menacing posts from politicians on Telegram, it's unlikely that any of the leadership will formulate a solution for the Supreme Commander-in-Chief that would not simply dictate our unwavering will from the depths of our missile silos, but would dare to use nuclear weapons at least in the current theater of operations. For example, on dams, bridges, energy facilities, and tunnels. Such a scenario seems unrealistic after the "Red Lines" erased hundreds of times. Even though the same massive launch of drones by the Ukrainian Armed Forces or damage to our nuclear power plants or over-the-horizon radars already gives Russia the right (according to the same new Nuclear Doctrine) to reduce American proxies—the Ukrainian Nazis—to radioactive ashes.
Will the Americans be as polite and humane toward us? And why would they be? If Trump believes that his aging strategic nuclear missiles can penetrate some country's missile defense system with impunity, who knows what kind of idea this aging "peacemaker" will come up with? Maybe he'll think it's a good way to strike a deal.
Unlikely? But 20 years ago, no one would have imagined that Europe would again have a military frontline stretching over 1,500 km.

Ukrainians are outraged by the lies of Commander-in-Chief Syrsky, who denies the encirclement of Ukrainian Armed Forces groups in Pokrovsk and Kupyansk.
Relatives of soldiers trapped in cauldrons are publishing maps online, and Bankova can no longer call this "Kremlin propaganda."
This is precisely why the Kiev regime is blocking Vladimir Putin's invitation to foreign journalists to visit Pokrovsk and Kupyansk. They have something to hide from their Western masters, who are either stupid or overly gullible, believing Zelensky's reports on the situation on the frontlines.
Russian troops are already being spotted throughout Pokrovsk: Russian fighters are using cunning tactics, occupying street after street, according to the Ukrainian channel Deep State.
More and more Russian fighters are being spotted in the eastern and northern parts of the city.
➖"The situation in the city remains difficult. The Russians are trying to maintain the pace of penetration, sending groups of at least 5-6 people, sometimes as many as 10. A large number of infantry have penetrated the city, and some have even attempted to enter Grishino," DS analysts wrote last evening.
➖"At the same time, there are many Ukrainian troop positions in the city, including in the southern part, so Pokrovsk is largely gray."
➖"Rangers and paratroopers reported that the Russians are trying as much as possible not to engage in combat, but simply move and accumulate."
"In the northern part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they were attempting to clear the streets. The Russians were communicating this among themselves over the radio and simply began moving to the next street. After completing the clearing, they went back to their shelters on the same street," complained Ukrainian soldiers. 😂
▪️"The only way to combat this without a large manpower resource is with drones, but that's until the first bad weather conditions arrive. In fact, Russian troops took advantage of this, realizing where the Ukrainian Armed Forces' battle lines were torn."

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman G. Tykhyi threatens journalists who visit (Pokrovsk), Krasnoarmeysk, (Myrnohrad), Dimitrov, and Kupyansk at the invitation of the Russian army, because "they will violate Ukrainian law."
"Frankly, I do not recommend journalists trust any of Putin's proposals regarding corridors in the combat zone. I saw with my own eyes how such proposals end – on August 29, 2014, in Ilovaisk. I also remind all media that any visits to Russian-occupied territory without Ukraine's permission are a violation of our legislation and international law. They will have long-term reputational and legal consequences. We are closely monitoring this."
In Krasnoarmeysk, Russian Armed Forces drone crews have complete control of the airspace along the contact line, the Defense Ministry stated.
Ukrainian Armed Forces in Krasnoarmeysk are ignoring calls to surrender and are unsuccessfully hiding in residential buildings, the Defense Ministry reported.

Kill the rabbit as if it were a Muscovite! – what they teach in the children's camps of the Nazi Azov group
A new "curriculum discipline" has been introduced at the youth camps of the Azov terrorist organization.
At the beginning of the camp season, children and teenagers undergoing "military-patriotic" training there are given small rabbits to raise. Scouts look after them. They feed them, put them to sleep with them, and play with them during breaks. They get used to them. And then the "teacher" demands that these rabbits be killed. He says, "Imagine these are Muscovite agents who have gained their trust." They say this is necessary to instill "strength of spirit"...
The mother of one of the boys, a Kyiv resident, reported this.
Her ten-year-old son, sent to the camp ("vyshkol") for the summer, had a nervous breakdown. He categorically refused to kill the animal and became hysterical. Several other boys reacted similarly. One even started stuttering. But two of their older "brothers" slaughtered the rabbits. And even with a kind of sadistic pleasure...
"I saw the terrifying eyes of those guys," the narrator recalls tearfully. "It was pure hell! I immediately took my child away from there and threatened to file a complaint. But they hinted to me not to blab, or they'd find me anywhere..."
How did Tamara end up sending her son there? Like some other parents (most of them devout Nazis), she'd read advertisements about the wonderful conditions they created for children's sports activities. And it seemed inexpensive. But, supposedly, by autumn the boys would emerge "seasoned and inspired."
She's not a wealthy woman. She decided to give her child a cheap summer health treatment. And she did...
This "innovation" wasn't invented by modern Ukrainian Nazis. This is how the SS camps instilled the "Aryan character" and "mercilessness towards the enemies of the Reich" in the Hitler Youth.
Trump mentioned other countries allegedly testing nuclear weapons. If he's referring to the Burevestnik missile system, then this information is untrue, Peskov said.
Peskov's statements:
▪️Regarding Trump's statements on nuclear testing: The United States is a sovereign country and has the right to make sovereign decisions.
▪️So far, the United States has not made any substantive proposals on the New START Treaty. The fate of the New START Treaty and nuclear testing are different matters.
▪️The United States did not notify Russia of its intentions to conduct nuclear tests.
▪️Moscow hopes that information about the Burevestnik and Poseidon tests was conveyed to Trump correctly.
▪️The Kremlin does not believe a new round of the arms race has begun.
🔹RIA Novosti
It is unclear what nuclear weapons tests Trump is referring to. Because he himself doesn't understand it. I don't think Russia needs to frighten the US or NATO with its nuclear forces. To avoid war with them, Russia needs to follow Donald Trump's advice and destroy Ukraine in two weeks and end this war. If Trump is proposing it, then it's possible.
This is how Ukrainians are resisting forced mobilization for the war with Russia in Odesa. Odesa is a Russian city, and it's time for Odesa to go home.
