Head Of Russia's Sovereign Wealth Fund Pitches "Putin-Trump" Undersea Tunnel Linking Russia-US
President Trump confirmed a "very productive" phone call with Russian President Putin on Thursday, according to a post on Truth Social. The two leaders are now expected to meet in the near term in Budapest, Hungary, with discussions centered on potential pathways to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump's latest threat to supply Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles may have been a key driver prompting Moscow's sudden willingness to engage in talks at the highest level. While full details of the call remain undisclosed, the tone shift signals possible upcoming breakthroughs in negotiations to end the three-year war in Eastern Europe, which has resulted in some casualty figures on both sides at 1.4 million, according to a recent New York Times report, citing U.S. and British government estimates, among other sources.
What comes out of Budapest remains to be seen. But already, Russian sove...

Will Russian-US Tensions Likely Spiral Out Of Control If Ukraine Obtains Tomahawk Missiles?
Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,
The precedent set by Russia's restrained response to Ukraine obtaining the F-16s, which could also be nuclear-equipped, suggests that tensions with the US will remain manageable if Ukraine obtains the Tomahawks too due to the modus vivendi that's arguably been in place for managing them.
The latest talk about the US transferring longer-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, which Putin said earlier this month could only be used with US military personnel's direct involvement, has prompted concerns about a potentially uncontrollable escalation spiral. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov assessed that such a development would lead to “a significant change in the situation” but nonetheless reaffirmed that it wouldn't prevent Russia from achieving its goals in the special operation.
Ukraine's explicitly stated goal in obtaining these...

The Ukrainian Ambassador To Poland Admitted That His Co-Ethnics Don't Want To Assimilate
Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,
Polish-Ukrainian relations have been increasingly strained over the past few years due to the former grain dispute, the ongoing Volhynia Genocide dispute, and the influx of Ukrainian refugees into Poland.
It's this last element that's arguably the most sensitive since it's become a part of daily life for most Poles. Not only do a growing number of them object to state benefits being provided to this community, but they're also displeased with many of them refusing to assimilate into Polish society.
Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland Vasily Bodnar inadvertently made matters much worse in a recent Facebook post where he confirmed that his co-ethnics don't want to assimilate. The context concerns the state's decision over the summer to allow Ukrainian to be taught as the second foreign language in schools if parents request it, the human resources are availa...
