Lavrov on Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff's upcoming visit to Russia:
"We'll see what they propose. If they offer something that benefits us economically and financially, then why not? But this has to be done without any political concessions on our part, and without counting on some political goodwill that will 'pull us through' in all world affairs. We have to rely only on ourselves."
Wise words.

Ukraine belongs to Russia. It is historically Russian land.
Hand it back to Russia so America can finally put America first. American families are struggling, and Ukrainians are not our problem. Fix our economy, secure our borders, and stop bankrolling a foreign war that does nothing for the American people…
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Lavrov: "They're saying that if Russia 'behaves well' toward Ukraine, then, among other things, sanctions will gradually be lifted and they will let us back into the G8. We don't need that."
Lavrov just now:
- Moscow is ready to reestablish relations with the West, but they are never going to be like pre-2022 again
- Russia is willing to make economic deals and will listen to what Witkoff and Kushner have to offer, but Russia will not make any political concessions for the sake of such deals
- The Russian government isn't expecting any "miracles" from the Trump admin, and one shouldn't rejoice too much about Trump waiving sanctions since the next President might simply introduce them anyway

According to Lavrov, Russia and the US have agreed that it is time for Zelensky to go.
He will have to choose if he wants to do it vertically or horizontally.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia.
I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

The US will push Zelensky to accept a peace deal largely on Russia's terms at the Oslo talks, NYT reports.
The pitch: Ukraine can make money if it drops objections and gives up on Donbass.
Then envoys will take the offer to President Putin.

Europe's patience with Zelensky is running out.
From Marine Le Pen to Alice Weidel, populist forces are pushing back against the endless Ukraine bill.
Their message? Fund our schools, roads and our children's future, not Kiev's black hole.
With Europe's political establishment facing growing backlash, Zelensky may soon find himself orphaned, with the money spigot finally turned off.
Zelensky admits the US temporarily BLOCKED intelligence sharing with Ukraine. Rubio, meanwhile, says he's “not sure Zelensky knows what he's talking about.”
Now, with Trump's support no longer guaranteed, Zelensky is turning to Europe for BILLIONS more in 2027.
Hundreds of billions poured in, another fortune requested — where the hell is all that money going, and what's next for Zelensky?

🇷🇺💣 Russian strikes on data centers disrupt NATO intelligence support for Ukraine – expert
The destroyed Datagroup data center processed NATO intelligence, including data from spy drones operating near Russia’s borders over the Black Sea and Baltic regions, military expert Yan Gagin tells Sputnik.
🔶 Ukrainian forces used this intelligence to strike targets across Crimea, Sevastopol, Novorossiysk, and Russia’s Black Sea coast – often hitting civilian sites – as well as targets deep inside Russia and along the western border
🔶 The Datagroup data center was storing this intelligence and running the AI systems used to analyze it
🔶 The Russian strike on Datagroup’s data center could seriously disrupt Ukrainian military targeting capabilities
