NEW: Kremlin officials continue to demonstrate Russia’s unwillingness to compromise to end Russia’s war against Ukraine. Putin is trying to portray the Russian economy as able to support a protracted war in Ukraine — likely to buttress the ongoing Russian cognitive warfare

Texas Bentley was killed by the very “Nazis” he went looking for. He went to Donbas chasing a fantasy, a propaganda-fed delusion that Russia was some kind of moral crusader. Instead, he found what Russia has always been: brutal, paranoid, and contemptuous of outsiders. To
⚡️ Four Russian soldiers just got 12 years for torturing American pro-Kremlin fighter Russell Bentley to death in occupied Donetsk. They beat him, killed him, and tried to cover it up by blowing up his body. 🔗 https://t.co/9TX5IyEzWK

The Economist and other analysts estimate Russia may have lost around 1% of its working-age male population through deaths and long-term incapacitation. That’s not strength or resolve, it’s strategic failure. Putin is burning through Russia’s future with increasingly irrational

The Javelins provided by the US were quickly expended and did not deter Russia from invading Ukraine. The wider context matters. During Trump’s first presidency, US policy created uncertainty: NATO allies were openly questioned, military aid to Ukraine was temporarily frozen in

Donald Trump getting destroyed. This was filmed 9 months ago. And still to this day it’s more relevant than ever.

Putin is not preparing to end the war. He has signed a decree ordering the conscription of reserve personnel for military training in 2026. Many more Russians will have to die yet for Putin’s war.

Today’s Russian papers are loving the new US national security strategy. One Russian paper on implications for Europe: “Trump isn’t their Daddy any more.” Kremlin spokesman comments: “The adjustments in the updated strategy correspond in many ways to our vision” #ReadingRussia

Let me know when that starts………
As peace-maker-in-chief, President Trump is uniquely able to bring both Russia and Ukraine toward an agreement. @POTUS’s goal is clear: end the war and stop the killing through tough, serious diplomacy.

It’s a conscious decision he’s made. I’m not sure he has any sense, morals, or basic human decency. If he did, he wouldn’t be engaging with a genocidal, child-trafficking Russia or attempting to surrender America’s position in a war it isn’t even fighting.

@lembitopik Russia stole my home, killed my friends, tortured to death Brit Aid worker Paul Urey. They also give me the death penalty, and I didn’t leave the country I had legal status in. Or are you going to tell me, a Russian speaker from East Ukraine, I got it wrong?

@lembitopik A shattered Europe, permanent instability on NATO’s border, higher defence spending for decades, energy shocks, refugees, and a green light for every dictator watching. Billions now, or trillions later. And that’s before counting the cost in lives. Seriously 🤦♂️

In the past 100 years, no neighboring country of Russia has attacked Russia. During the same period, Russia has invaded 19 countries. Putin has given no reason to believe that Russia would change its imperialistic course. Thank you for the interview, @CBSNews.

This was always going to happen after he failed to “solve the war in 24 hours.” Bulldozing a so-called peace plan without understanding the region or its dynamics — and I’m being generous in saying that — was always going to end with Trump blaming one side. And let’s be honest,

@DougAMacgregor Dude, seriously, sort your geography out. 🤦♂️ I’m in Kharkiv. You’re living in some pro-Russian fantasy. You honestly think Russia is going to advance 700 km north? 😂 It’s taken them over a year to scrape 8 km toward Pokrovsk. Just stop trying to be relevant.

Killed by the Russians makes this even funnier
Four Russian soldiers were found guilty of torturing and murdering American expat Russell 'Texas' Bentley in 2024. The soldiers then placed the body in a car loaded with explosives to conceal the evidence. The self-proclaimed communist traveled to Donetsk in 2014 to fight
