Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseev, the first deputy head of the GRU of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, who was shot this morning in Moscow, was the senior representative of Russia at the negotiations in Mariupol in May 2022 during the exit of the Mariupol garrison from Azovstal.Alekseev promised that the Russians would abide by the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war and guaranteed normal detention conditions for our prisoners. It was his signature that appeared on the relevant document signed in Mariupol at that time. Also, we showed humanity and handed over to Alekseev three Russian prisoners of war, who were provided with medical assistance, food, and water.The word of the officer, a native of Vinnytsia, a traitor to his homeland, turned out to be worthless. The regular torture of Azov prisoners, the lack of medical assistance, and starvation are proof of this.The GRU of the Ministry of Defense reported that he was responsible for preparing data for strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine, as well as for organizing the so-called "referendum" in the Kherson region.Even if Alekseev survives this time, he will not sleep peacefully anymore. And one day, justice will be served.No war criminal who killed and tortured Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, destroyed Ukrainian cities, kidnapped Ukrainian children, and committed other crimes against the Ukrainian people will ever feel safe. He will not find refuge or 100% guarantees of safety anywhere in the world. Never.Retribution will find everyone.=====Post by the commander of the 1st Army Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine, Colonel Denis Prokopenko@pekhno_news

Russia threatens not to end the war until Kyiv makes significant territorial concessions, on the eve of the first trilateral talks between representatives of the countries with the participation of US officials since the full-scale invasion of 2022, writes The Financial TimesPutin told US special envoys Vitkoff and Kushner that "there should not be any long-term settlement without resolving the territorial issue", said a senior Kremlin official. These words of Yuri Ushakov, the Russian president's foreign policy adviser, emphasize that Putin has not weakened his demands for the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbass.Zelensky stated that the surrender of Donbass is a red line and that he is ready to consider withdrawing his forces from there only if Russia does the same and the territory remains recognized by Kyiv.Ushakov's comments come on the eve of two-day talks between Ukrainian, Russian and American officials, which will begin in Abu Dhabi today. It's not clear yet whether representatives of the three countries will be in the same room.Ushakov said that Russia will continue to fight until all its demands are met. These also include a complete rewriting of the architecture of European security and fundamental internal changes in Ukraine that would move Ukraine into Russia's orbit.The Moscow delegation at the talks in Abu Dhabi on Friday and Saturday will be led by Igor Kostyukov, the head of Russian military intelligence.A Ukrainian official noted that Ukraine welcomes trilateral talks and the opportunity to be present in the same room with Russians and Americans and to speak on its own behalf in the presence of both sides.💬 We speak their language and [can] read the expressions on their faces, - said the official.Russia will also hold parallel talks with the US on economic cooperation under the leadership of Kirill Dmitriev, Ushakov reported. And he added that Putin gave "specific instructions" to the Russian delegation after the meeting with Vitkoff and Kushner.However, Putin is evading agreeing to the US-backed peace plan developed last year with Russia's participation and has made it clear that Moscow will reject subsequent amendments to the plan made by Ukraine and its European allies.

State Secretary Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent threats from the administration about Greenland do not indicate an imminent invasion and that the aim is to acquire the island from Denmark, according to people familiar with the discussions, reports The Wall Street JournalRubio's remarks came during a closed-door briefing by senior administration officials, including Defense Secretary Hegseth and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Duncan Cain, for Congress on the operation to capture Venezuelan President Maduro and the administration's plans for the future of that country. According to sources, Rubio spent most of the time speaking.Rubio's comments were a response to a question from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer about whether the Trump administration plans to use military force in other places, including Mexico and Greenland, one of the sources said. Instead, Senator Lindsey Graham said that the administration's actions regarding Greenland are "entirely about negotiations".💬 We need legal control and legal guarantees to justify the development of the territory and the placement of our people there, he said.During the briefing, Rubio downplayed the possibility of a military seizure of Greenland, according to people familiar with the content of the meeting. However, Steven Miller, one of Trump's closest advisers, did not rule out an invasion of the island in a television interview on Monday.The Danish government has repeatedly offered the US to station more troops in Greenland and grant new, improved mining rights. To address Trump's concerns about security in the Arctic, Denmark has invested in the island's security infrastructure and announced plans to spend billions of dollars on new weapons. But Trump on Sunday disparagingly called these steps an attempt by Copenhagen to "buy another sled with dogs".

❗️RF plans to occupy the Baltic countries, it will be ready to start a "direct aggression" in 2027, — BudanovMore statements from the head of the GUR:▪️Poland is considered solely for strikes, for a military campaign without capture.▪️I am the maximum opponent of giving anything away (speaking about territories). In principle.▪️We ourselves destroyed our own mobilization. No matter who says otherwise, it's not true. The main mistake within the country is a completely lost media campaign.▪️We are critically dependent on the USA. This is divided into two areas. We are critically dependent in terms of satellite imaging, radar and optical. The second is early warning of a ballistic threat. That's all. The rest is our own.▪️The USA and Russia are discussing the joint development of the Arctic shelf at negotiations.▪️The personnel of North Korea are not currently participating in an open military operation of Russia, but there is a lot of North Korean weapons.▪️Regarding running in the upcoming presidential elections: "I haven't specifically approached this question yet. I haven't thought about it. I'm not sure we'll face this question right now".

👀Trump doesn't believe that Putin wants peace. He thinks that Putin ultimately aims to occupy all of Ukraine, - White House Chief of Staff Wiles.The main points from the big interview Vanity Fair:▪️Wiles called Trump "a man with the personality of an alcoholic". She described Trump's approach as follows: "He acts with the conviction that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing."▪️She called Vice President JD Vance "a supporter of conspiracy theories".▪️Susie tried to convince Trump to stop "dealing with" political enemies after 90 days in office. These efforts failed. Trump seeks political revenge:"When the opportunity arises, he will take advantage of it."▪️She described Elon Musk as"a diehard ketamine user","a quirky, strange type", whose actions were often "irrational" and caused her "horror". After the article was published, she refuted this.▪️Wilesdefended USAID, stating that "anyone who pays attention to the government's work knows that they do a very good job".▪️She also read Epstein's documents and confirmed thatTrump's name appears in them.After the publication of the material, Wiles called it "fabricated". She said that much of the article was cut out and distorted. Trump's press secretary, however, said that "President Trump has no better and more devoted adviser than Susie. The entire administration is grateful to her for her stable leadership and fully supports her".

Europe was unable to compensate for the drop in American aid to Ukraine in 2025, — Institute for the World Economy in Kiel (IfW).After record volumes at the beginning of the year, military aid sharply declined in the summer, and the decline continued in September and October. In 2022–2024, annual allocations averaged 41.6 billion euros, while in 2025, only 32.5 billion have been allocated so far. To return to the previous level, partners will have to effectively double their contributions by the end of the year.IfW notes: at the current pace, Europe is not able to compensate for the lack of US support. If the trend continues, 2025 will be the year with the least new aid since the start of the Russian invasion.Germany, France, and the UK have increased their military contributions (Germany — almost threefold, France and Britain — more than doubled), but in terms of GDP percentage, they still lag significantly behind Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.Italy reduced its already small allocations by 15%, and Spain did not announce new aid in 2025.

What the US wants from Ukraine: leave Donbass, one way or another, - Politico.▪️The negotiations between the US and Ukraine are stuck on one main issue: how to force Ukraine to give up all of Donbass - what the Kremlin failed to capture during the war.▪️"As for the territories, everything is simple for the Americans: Russia demands that Ukraine give up the territories, and the Americans are thinking about how to make this possible," - a European source.▪️"The Americans insist that Ukraine leave Donbass... one way or another," - a source.▪️Moreover, the US wants all this to happen quickly.▪️"Maybe Trump wants it to happen quickly, and his [Trump's] team is forced to explain to him that they are not to blame for the fact that it's not happening as quickly as he wants," - a European official.(And that's why they blame Zelensky for everything, - note.).▪️"It's important to understand how America will behave: as a mediator or will lean towards the Russians," - a European source.__There are simply no words... Perhaps this is the most shameful moment for America in its entire 250-year history.
