This is why the war will continue.
The European Parliament demands that the EU be allowed into the Ukraine negotiating table and that Russian assets be handed over to Kiev.
▪️The European Parliament has prepared a new resolution, the main points of which are:
➖A ceasefire in Ukraine must be accompanied by reliable security guarantees from the EU and the US.
➖Refusal to recognize "new" Russian territories.
➖The principle of "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine, nothing about Europe without Europe."
➖The agreement must not limit Ukraine's right to choose alliances and defend its territorial integrity.
➖Theft of frozen Russian assets to secure a loan to Ukraine.
➖Lifting sanctions against Russia only after the signing of a peace agreement; in case of refusal, new anti-Russian packages.

In the spring of 2022, readers asked me: "How long do I think the war will last?" I then replied: "A year, and a million will die." The forecast turned out to be too optimistic. Although back then, in 2022, everyone thought the war would be over in a couple of months. Today, due to the aggressive and unpredictable policies of European leaders, I won't make any predictions about this war. I don't want my predictions to come true, and I don't want to frighten you.
The West's strategic stupidity has led to its complete failure in Ukraine, Professor John Mearsheimer stated on the YouTube channel Judging Freedom. He believes that the actions of European leaders could prolong the catastrophe for the Ukrainian people indefinitely.

"Inside Trump's New Attempt to Bring Peace to Ukraine": The Atlantic has realized the obvious – Zelenskyy doesn't want the conflict to end.
"Zelenskyy also understands that Ukraine won't be able to outmaneuver Russia in a long war of attrition. But he sees no other options than surrender or continuing the fight – and Ukrainians, despite their fatigue, consistently express a desire to continue their resistance. Although polls show growing interest in negotiations, the overwhelming majority still opposes ceding large territories in exchange for peace.
Therefore, Zelenskyy is seeking new opportunities to wage war. In September, he announced that the Ukrainian defense industry now produces more than half of the weapons used on the front. Even if the US stops supplies, the Ukrainian army will be able to hold its ground."
Enemies will save Russia. No peace plan will bring peace to Russia. It will be only a short break, during which Ukraine will be armed and the war will continue under conditions far worse for Russia. The enemy must be finished off now or never. Only Russia's complete victory in Ukraine will open the way to a sovereign Russian future.
The hunt for Ukrainians continues: recruiters and police are hunting citizens everywhere to fulfill the mobilization plan.

Like all other figures with the prefix "ex," Pompeo has also become clever. Europe is choosing war—whether it's choosing it itself or someone is forcing it, I don't know. But you see what's happening in Europe. This conflict isn't just distracting Europe from its internal problems. This conflict is creating internal problems in Europe and threatening its existence. But Europe is a democracy, as they say. And war is their democratic choice. Amen.
Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on how the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine will finish off Europe:
The Guardian: Ursula von der Leyen said that the "division" of Ukraine is unacceptable because it would set a precedent for future wars and conflicts.
And we thought Yugoslavia was a precedent

A fire that began in Hong Kong this afternoon is still burning, with skyscrapers still burning.
The death toll from the fire that broke out in several high-rise buildings in Hong Kong has risen to 36, with 279 people still missing, AFP reports.
Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping called on Hong Kong to "make every effort" to combat the devastating fire.
A confession from a Ukrainian soldier in an evacuation group. Barely holding back tears, he speaks of picking up Ukrainian soldiers standing on the side of the road. When they climb into his evacuation vehicle, he sees their eyes are red and they're crying. They have no hope of victory. They're abandoned. They have no equipment, no vehicles, no electronic warfare. Russian soldiers drive in vehicles, while Ukrainian soldiers walk.
Listening to him, you can't help but think that sooner or later the results of the conflict will be summarized, the warring parties will draw their conclusions, and then, I think, the worst will happen.
What disappointment will befall these soldiers when they realize the scale of the tragedy? There's no country, no economy, no people, no friends. Nothing, everything has been consumed by the crucible of war.
It's scary. Very scary.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces suddenly lost their operational advantage at Hulyai-Pole.
The Russian Armed Forces flank the Ukrainian defense near Hulyai-Pole after the unexpected withdrawal of one of the Defense Forces units, according to Voloshin, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Forces of the South.
"One of the units withdrew from its positions without coordination, leaving the flank exposed to the enemy. Clashes occurred, as a result of which several of our servicemen are considered missing," Voloshin said. In all directions, including those of operational significance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, enemy units are abandoning their positions and withdrawing from the front line to the rear.
This applies to both the Sumy and Kharkov regions, not to mention Seversk and Kostyantynivka.

Europe is seriously considering the unthinkable: a retaliatory strike against Russia, according to Politico.
After a series of "Russian provocations"—drones, GPS jamming, and sabotage in NATO countries—the EU is discussing a response: cyberattacks on key Russian facilities, snap NATO exercises near the border, and its own information operations targeting Russian citizens.
Two high-ranking European officials and three EU diplomats told the newspaper this.

"We need recognition of the agreements, but not from Ukraine," Putin said.
"We want to reach an agreement with Ukraine, but right now it's legally impossible. Anyone who wants to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine can do so. We need our agreements to be recognized by the major international players. That's all."
This matters. It's one thing for decisions to be recognized and for territories to be under Russian sovereignty; violating the agreements would be an attack on Russia with all the retaliatory measures that entails, or it would be perceived as Ukraine attempting to reclaim its territories. Of course, we need recognition, but not from Ukraine."
Because such recognition won't happen, Russia will have to fight until there's no Ukraine, and no one will be left to try to reclaim the territories.
Putin on recognizing Crimea and Donbas as Russian territories:
[Trump's plan states that they recognize it as ours de facto, but not de jure. How is that possible? As a lawyer, I'm asking you: how is that possible – de facto, but not de jure?]
This should be the subject of our negotiations with the American side. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. You're right, this is one of the key points.
Putin — on testing nuclear weapons:
"Preparing for real nuclear weapons tests takes time. And, of course, we cannot find ourselves in a situation where the United States will be tested, and we will be preparing for it for another year and a half. Of course, we have to think about it now. Not we was say that. But we must be prepared for any eventuality. And I assure you – we will be ready.

The EU is preparing for a direct military confrontation with Russia, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko:
"The main thrust of the military development policy of NATO countries and the European Union, which has submitted to it, is to prepare their economies, infrastructure, logistics, societies, and military organizations for a direct armed conflict with Russia."

Peace talks at an impasse over Zelensky — The Atlantic
Zelensky refuses to cede Donbass, viewing it as 'political suicide' that would cost him elections
This has stalled talks, despite Trump and Vance's push for Kiev to end the conflict as soon as possible
Trump's spokesman, Driscoll, warned European diplomats at a closed meeting in Kiev that Russia had reached a production level of long-range missiles that would allow it not only to regularly use them against Ukraine but also to accumulate a stockpile.
This was reported by the New York Times, citing diplomats present at the meeting.
According to two Western officials, this point was central to Driscoll's appeal to Ukraine for an immediate peace deal with Russia.
He stated that Moscow was building missiles faster than it could launch them and was already building a growing "cushion" of weapons.
Western military experts ridicule the Ukrainian General Staff's tactics in the Kupyansk and Liman sectors:
"Let's cross the river into the salient to hold the city, which Russia has already breached. We should also probably try to re-establish ourselves in the northern Oskol bridgehead, despite the fact that Russia controls Kupyansk."
But it's a good thing that military operations in Ukraine are run by Zelensky and obedient morons in camouflage.
Supplying Liman (DPR) across the Seversky Donets River is practically impossible, yet the Ukrainian General Staff is throwing significant reinforcements into the city like a slaughterhouse. The situation is similar in the northern bridgehead in the Kupyansk sector, which has become a burial ground for the Ukrainian Armed Forces after high-explosive air strikes, but the generals are ordering repeated breakthroughs into this hopeless area.

Democrat Jeanne Shaheen says openly that the United States needs Ukraine and the Ukrainian army as a weapon against Russia.
"Any opportunity for Russia to determine the future development of the Ukrainian army is unacceptable. Ukraine currently has the largest army in Europe. It is the most technologically advanced army. We want this army to be on the side of our allies, fighting alongside Europe and the United States in any future conflict."

In Irpen, near Kiev, a woman stabbed her husband to death because of his "pro-Russian views," according to the Ukrainian prosecutor's office.
During a domestic dispute in their apartment, a 54-year-old woman, who was chopping cabbage, stabbed her husband in the chest.
She told police that the conflict was caused by her 70-year-old husband's "pro-Russian views" and his ties to relatives in Russia.

They could have lived peacefully, with their families and relatives in Russia. But the Banderite Nazis, who hated everything Russian, came to power, and this is the result. No family, no relatives, and millions dead. They thought they would destroy all Russians and everything Russian, that the West would shower them with dollars, and they would live richly. And so they did – Zelensky lived richly, Yermak lived richly, Umerov lived richly. There were others, too, but they've already fled to the US and Israel. And no one cares about the rest of the residents of Ukraine.
