Zelensky says Ukraine wants to maintain an 800,000-strong army and will not accept neutrality or limits on its military.
He also outlined possible steps toward peace, including an energy truce, prisoner exchanges and a humanitarian mission in Russian-occupied Oleshky.

Pete Hegseth was thoroughly embarrassed by Senator Tammy Duckworth.
Senator Tammy Duckworth—a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel who lost both her legs while serving in Iraq—pressed Hegseth with a question:
Tammy Duckworth: "I’m glad you brought that up. Can you name even one ASEAN member country and explain what kind of agreement we have with it? And, while you’re at it, do you know how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I’m not even sure you know who our allies are."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "Well, I can’t give you the exact number, but I certainly know who our allies are: South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Tammy Duckworth: "None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework better before engaging in these kinds of discussions."
The level of incompetence of the person leading the Pentagon—it’s simply unbelievable.

Axios: Democrats prepare to investigate Trump-Putin deal involving Russian diesel
Democrats have asked major US banks and port authorities to preserve documents and correspondence related to the possible import of Russian diesel.
If the party regains control of at least one chamber of Congress, investigating the deal will be a priority.
Lawmakers believe the agreement could violate the ban on Russian petroleum product imports introduced in 2022 and effectively help finance the war against Ukraine. The US Treasury Department maintains that the deal is legal.
Letters were sent to JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, as well as the port authorities of Houston, Beaumont, Corpus Christi and New York–New Jersey.
Democrats are demanding confirmation that the documents have been preserved and disclosure of information about any potential or completed transactions.

❗️Kaja Kallas: there is almost no hope for a quick peace in Ukraine — despite diplomatic efforts, Putin continues massive strikes on Kyiv and sinks civilian ships in the Black Sea. The EU’s task is to help Ukraine withstand the attacks and raise the cost of the war for Russia; this month the largest package of personal sanctions was adopted, and new restrictions are being prepared.

Let's think about this. Trump is mentioned in the Epstein Files 1 million times. He was Epstein's partner in crime, along with Ghislaine Maxwell. There is evidence that he raped and otherwise sexually assaulted children, and possibly also tortured and murdered some. During his 2024 rallies, he kept mentioning fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter. Maybe he cannibalized some of the children, as we know the Files reveal. He held child rape parties at Mar-a-Lago, and "measured" the vaginas of young girls with his fingers before auctioning them off to other men. 37 of his past and former cabinet members are in the Files. Melania is in the Files. Musk is in the Files. Many of Trump's other associates and campaign donors are in the Files. GOP members of Congress and the Supreme Court are in the Files. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. ***************************************************************************************Trump is very likely connected to the suspicious deaths/murders of Ivana, Epstein, several Epstein survivors, Deutsche Bank associates, Kirk, and others. He's responsible for the J6th deaths, and those who died in his staged Butler, PA assassination attempt. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died from COVID based upon his lies regarding its deadliness, and the effectiveness of vaccines. Since taking office on 01/20/25, he and his Regime have committed numerous murders and war crimes. Treason, bribery, theft, human trafficking, wrongful imprisonment, insider trading, profiting off the Presidency, fraud, and on and on. Their GOP accomplices have been involved in much of this, including covering up the Epstein Files. They also rigged all of our elections since 2016, only failing in 2020 due to COVID mail-in votes. These criminals have access to our nuclear codes and the military. *****************************************************************************************Yes, we must all vote Blue in the Midterms. But to say that Americans are seriously underreacting to what's going on is a vast understatement! These violent fascists will do everything humanly possible to remain in power because they know they will receive the death penalty if they don't! Expect the worst between now and January! Our Democratic Lawmakers have failed to rein them in for the past 10 years and are showing no signs of change! Trump even stated, in one rally, that he would like Iran to bomb Los Angeles and San Diego! He wants to fucking kill Americans! And the rest of his Regime and GOP are just as bad! If you've been sleeping through this, please wake the fuck up!

BREAKING: TRUMP BETRAYAL! Zelensky reveals he offered the U.S. THREE OPTIONS to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries — but Trump accepted NONE.
President Volodymyr Zelensky just provided stark evidence of Donald Trump’s betrayal of America’s commitment to defend Ukraine from the Russian invasion of its sovereign territory.
Trump has been pressuring Zelensky to unilaterally stop taking out Russia’s oil refining infrastructure, but the Ukrainian leader said in an interview with the Kyiv Post that the United States has met none of the three conditions he says his country requires before agreeing to a stop to its successful campaign to cripple Russia’s revenue-generating energy businesses. Therefore, the strikes continue.
Here are the conditions that Zelensky said that Trump can choose from to convince Ukraine to impose a ban on blowing up Putin’s petroleum refineries:
Option one: an “energy truce,” where Russia stops hitting Ukraine’s power infrastructure. “That is fair,” Zelensky said, and it’s hard to argue with that. Expecting Ukraine to stop hitting Russia, while its opponent continues to bomb away, makes no sense at all.
Option two: enable Starlink coverage over Russia so Ukraine can show the U.S. where Russian ballistic missile launchers are and destroy them. Zelensky noted that Trump’s team has said Elon Musk doesn’t want to. Who the f@#k cares what Elon Musk wants? If Musk continues to be an obstacle, the U.S. should nationalize Starlink on security grounds and turn Ukraine’s spigot back on.
Option three: if Starlink is off the table, give Ukraine missiles for its Patriot systems, something that “doesn’t depend on Musk or Putin.” Given the fact that the American military has blown through a significant portion of its arsenal in the misbegotten Iran war, this last option might be the toughest for Trump to fulfill.
“Ukraine had received none of the three proposed forms of support,” he said. “That is why the reaction is what it is. We are fighting for our lives.”
Zelensky also argued the refinery strikes can’t move global prices much, since Russia accounts for only 2% of global diesel exports and the other 98% comes from elsewhere.
Zelensky smartly warned against lifting sanctions on Russia before negotiations, saying they were imposed in response to aggression, “not as a price for the mere opportunity to talk.” He said lifting them early would leave Ukraine without leverage and that rebuilding support for new sanctions after more than 20 packages would be hard, a warning that lands after Trump waived sanctions and tariffs on Russia. “I do not want us to find ourselves without any leverage,” he said.
Meanwhile, the U.S. delegation went to St. Petersburg after talks in Oslo and then gave Kyiv a briefing. Now a broad meeting between Ukraine, the U.S., the EU and NATO is planned in Brussels this week. As long as Trump is in Vladimir Putin’s pocket, however, the prospect for successful negotiations is slim to none.
Of course, the Kyiv Post is only reporting Zelensky’s point of view. The White House has not responded yet to his comments. But one of his points is hard to dodge: Ukraine is being asked to hold back while the other side keeps firing. Only a fool like Donald Trump would expect any invaded country to agree to a deal like that.
Please like and share if you think Russia should end the war by withdrawing its forces from Ukrainian territories!

🇪🇺 The end of subordination.
Ten European countries are now in France’s nuclear deterrence initiative.
This week, British jets joined a French nuclear drill for the first time.
We must replace the American nuclear umbrella with a European one.
Work is also underway to eliminate dependence on Starlink and other US capabilities.
It will take a few years, but we will bring the post-WWII order to an end.
An independent, united Europe.
