Revealed: Trump’s plan to force Ukraine to restore Putin’s gas empire

America holds gun to Zelensky’s head with unprecedented reparation demands
www.telegraph.co.uk www.telegraph.co.uk

If you believe this, Russia gets its frozen money in July and Europe gets screwed completely and Ukraine gets nothing at all.

In 2022 , if Ukraine caved completely, they would lose two oblasts . Now they are losing 4.

And at any time, putin might demand even more. That revolution in 2014 really screwed them

Looks now that they will be no deal and russia are pushing all out. There is a single village still occupied in Kursk. But Russia has now gotten land inSumy and another uke oblast. Numerous video reporters are saying that Russia is gearing up for a big attack of 6 to 9 months duration.
Trump is looking pretty impotent here and the Europeans are in worse shape.

there is a good chance imo that Russia will take the entire east half of Ukraine . The trillions for rebuilding. Will not be made

This is going to push events to the limit.
The Biden administration elements actively provided real time targeting data within Russian borders.
Watch for developing escalation.
If Trump thinks extra tariffs on Russian oil are going to work he missed the above.

Germany announces more military aid for Ukraine​

Berlin will provide Kiev with an additional $12 billion over the next four years, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has said

Germany will provide an extra €11.25 billion ($12 billion) in military aid for Ukraine, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock announced during a surprise visit to Kiev on Tuesday. Berlin will continue to back Ukraine “without any ifs or buts,” regardless of the upcoming change of German government, the diplomat said.
Germany is Ukraine’s second-largest military donor after the US. It is expected to have a new coalition government of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Christian Social Union (CSU), and Social Democrats (SPD), with CDU leader Friedrich Merz as the likely chancellor. Merz, a proponent of further aid for Kiev, previously said he aims to have the new government in place by Easter on April 20.
In a statement on the Foreign Ministry’s website, Baerbock announced “the decision of the current and future governing parties” to provide an additional €3 billion in short-term support for Ukraine and earmark €8.25 billion in military aid through 2029. Berlin will also immediately release €130 million in “humanitarian assistance and stabilization funds” for Ukraine, Baerbock added.

“It is absolutely pivotal for us Europeans to show that we stand alongside Ukraine… That is one reason why I have come to Ukraine today,” the minister stated. Germany has already provided roughly €11 billion in aid for Ukraine between January 2022 and October 2024, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.
The US, which is Ukraine’s biggest donor in the conflict with Russia, has meanwhile shifted its stance under President Donald Trump, who has demanded that Kiev pay back aid already provided.
Amid an apparent thaw in relations since Trump’s return to office, Moscow and Washington have been working on a potential diplomatic settlement of the conflict. The two sides have made progress with a partial ceasefire agreement despite the Russian government’s skepticism toward the authorities in Kiev.

Baerbock claimed that “Ukraine is ready and willing to observe an immediate ceasefire,” and accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of blocking the peace process. Russian officials, however, have reported numerous Ukrainian violations of the agreement by targeting oil infrastructure in several locations. Moscow has also consistently accused the West of prolonging the conflict by funding Kiev’s war effort.

Zelensky contradicts Trump on NATO membership​

Ukraine could still become a member of NATO despite opposition to the idea from the administration of US President Donald Trump, Vladimir Zelensky has insisted.
Trump lashed out at the Ukrainian leader earlier this week, saying “he wants to be a member of NATO. Well, he was never going to be a member of NATO. He understands that.”
However, during a meeting with the heads of territorial communities of Chernigov Region, Zelensky made it clear that he has not yet given up on his long-standing ambitions of joining the US-led bloc.
“You know who does not support Ukraine’s membership in NATO so far, but in any case, no one is removing this issue from the table for the future,” Zelensky said, as cited by the Ukrinform news agency.
“At least, we are talking about the fact that even if now someone does not want to support [Kiev joining the bloc], we will see what happens in the future,” Zelensky added.

According to the Ukrainian leader, until Kiev becomes a member of the bloc it should be provided with “NATO-like security guarantees” by its Western backers.
Ukraine will be able to achieve “a just peace” with Russia, but in order to do so “it has to be strong when getting to the negotiating table,” he insisted.
Russia cited Kiev’s ambitions to join NATO, which Moscow views as a hostile bloc, as among the main reasons for launching its military operation in February 2022.
Ukraine’s neutrality remains one of the key demands by Moscow for achieving a diplomatic settlement of the conflict, along with the demilitarization and denazification of the country and recognition by Kiev of the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as well as Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as Russian territory.

Last month, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said “yes” when asked by Bloomberg if Trump had already taken the question of Kiev joining NATO off the table in efforts undertaken by the US and Russia to achieve peace in the Ukraine conflict. Rutte also suggested that once the fighting stops, the West could “step by step… restore normal relations with Russia.” However, he added that “we are absolutely not there yet, we have to maintain the pressure” on Moscow.

Well there's a can of worms if ever there was one!

Two paragraphs stand out as a worthy exercise in joining the dots when it comes to Helsing, a company formed to produce drones-


On March 21, a post was published on the Facebook page of Ukrainian military man Oleksandr Karpyuk, in which the HF-1 drone was described as having a “shitty” warhead and a “very primitive guidance system.”

The company charges an unusually high premium for its software, adding thousands of euros to each device. Officials at one of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies have also raised concerns about the price, but the company is not under investigation

Could this be the explanation -

Helsing soon began to strike deals with defense contractors and bid for military contracts, mostly in Germany. That’s where it had its strongest connections: co-founder and co-CEO Gunnbert Scherf had spent two years working for the defense ministry under Ursula von der Leyen.

NATO chief rules out Ukrainian membership under peace deal​

Kiev could join the military bloc “one day,” according to Mark Rutte

Ukraine was never promised NATO membership as part of any potential settlement of its conflict with Russia, the military bloc’s secretary general, Mark Rutte, has said. He made the remarks in an interview with the broadcaster MI Ukraina while on a surprise trip to Ukraine on Tuesday.
Rutte said that while Kiev’s Western backers have stated Ukraine would “one day” become a member of NATO, “no one promised Ukraine that NATO membership would be part of the peace agreement.”
Russia has long cited Kiev’s ambitions to join NATO, which Moscow views as an overtly hostile bloc, as one of the reasons for launching its military operation in 2022.
Ukrainian neutrality remains a key demand from the Kremlin for reaching a peace deal, along with demilitarization, denazification, and recognition of the territorial realities on the ground. Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, however, has insisted that membership or “NATO-like security guarantees” be included in any agreement.

Rutte claimed that Ukraine’s path to NATO remains “irreversible and nothing can change that,” but gave no timeline for this.
The NATO chief’s comments contrast with those of US President Donald Trump, who earlier this month criticized Zelensky’s push for membership of the bloc. “He wants to be a member of NATO. Well, he was never going to be a member of NATO,” Trump said. The US leader previously stated that he “understands” Russia’s concerns about Ukraine joining the bloc, which would place NATO “right on their doorstep.”
Last month, Rutte said “yes” when asked by Bloomberg if Trump had already taken the question of Ukraine’s NATO accession off the table in ongoing US-Russia peace efforts.
In his interview, Rutte pledged that NATO will continue to support Ukraine during and after any future ceasefire agreement. He referenced the so-called “coalition of the willing,” a group of European nations pushing to maintain military aid to Ukraine and proposing to send troops to the country, purportedly in a post-conflict peacekeeping role. Rutte said NATO is part of the coalition “as an adviser” and is “gently guiding” its direction.

He added that the group is working on ensuring Ukraine’s armed forces remain operational after an eventual deal is signed. He also stated that NATO backs the idea of sending troops to Ukraine as part of future security guarantees, but only after a ceasefire is in place and in accordance with the terms of a peace deal.
Moscow has repeatedly opposed the idea of Western troops in Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said earlier this week that by talking about sending peacekeepers to Ukraine, Western powers are in reality trying to strengthen the anti-Russian foothold in the country rather than seeking a real settlement.

The madness needs to end.
It's going to take Ukraine 50 years to recover from what Zitler has needlessly put the Ukrainian people through for nothing.

Zelensky fires official who contradicted Kiev’s ‘civilian’ missile strike narrative​

Vladimir Zelensky’s office announced on Tuesday that it has fired the head of Ukraine’s Sumy Regional Military Administration, Vladimir Artyukh. The move follows Artyukh’s claim that he did not organize a military awards ceremony targeted in a Russian missile strike.
On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that it carried out a precision strike the previous day on a gathering of Ukrainian command staff in the border city of Sumy. Two Iskander-M missiles were used in the attack on Sunday, it said, adding that over 60 senior Ukrainian servicemen were killed in the strike.
The local Ukrainian authorities have claimed that the attack targeted a military awards ceremony for the 117th Territorial Defense Brigade. Officials reported that the strike resulted in 35 civilian deaths and 129 others injured.
Several Ukrainian officials, including the mayor of Konotop, Artyom Semenikhin, have since called for the prosecution of Artyukh, accusing him of being directly responsible for the casualties by “organizing an awards ceremony” despite warnings not to do so.
Artyukh has effectively confirmed that the ceremony took place on the day of the attack but denied responsibility for the event, telling public broadcaster Suspilne that he “was invited” but did not organize it.
Nevertheless, Zelensky signed a decree on Tuesday removing Artyukh from his post. Taras Melnychuk, the cabinet’s representative in parliament, confirmed the move in a post on Telegram on Tuesday and announced that the government has decided on a replacement.

Moscow has stressed that it does not attack civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the Russian military only strikes “military-related targets.” Russian officials have accused Kiev, however, of deliberately hosting military events in civilian areas.
Following the Sumy attack, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the facility targeted in Sunday’s strike was hosting both Ukrainian and NATO officers, and claimed they were posing as mercenaries.
Lavrov went on to say that Kiev routinely flouts international law by placing military facilities and weapons in or near civilian infrastructure, and that there have been “a million” examples of this.
Sumy is a regional capital and frontline city of over 250,000 people, located 25km from the border with Russia. It has become a focal point of Ukraine’s retreat from Russia’s Kursk Region following its failed incursion.
