Is Walking Away From Ukraine The Best Option For Trump And The US?
This week Vice President JD Vance reiterated the Trump Administration's position that "walking away from Ukraine" and the peace negotiations after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded that Crimea be "liberated" as part of the terms. Zelensky argued that the "war against the entire free Europe" began with Crimea and must end with the return of Crimea.
Vance's frustration with Zelensky is understandable. As he noted, Ukraine is in no position to demand anything given their precarious position on the battlefield. Russia's attrition tactics have been highly effective in countering western arms and intel support on the eastern front while also whittling down Ukrainian troop strength. They have also retaken almost all of the gains made by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region while they amass troops to take Sumy to the south.
Furthermore, Vladimir Putin's latest missile salvo on...

Indian Components Found In Russian Weapons On Battlefield For First Time, Ukraine Says
Ukraine's military intelligence has said that an Indian-made component was identified in a Russian weapon system for the first time of the war, but added in the statement that all almost all American-made parts appear to have been phased out.
"For the first time, a component made in India — a clock buffer from Aura Semiconductor — was found in a Russian weapon," the statement from military intelligence (HUR) said, per a Monday Telegram post.

Ukrainian intel has documented nearly 200 newly identified parts across six types of Russian weaponry, regional media reports say.
"These include the CRP antenna from the Russian-modified Shahed drone, North Korea's KN-24 ballistic missile, the onboard computer in the X-47 Kinzhal missile, and several reconnaissance and attack drones — includ...

Russia Winning In Ukraine, Continually Gaining Leverage: US Intel Community
The US government in its 2025 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community - which was just released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in conjunction with top officials' testimony at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Tuesday - has admitted that Ukraine's battlefield prospects are fading amid the onslaught of superior Russian forces.
Currently, Moscow has "seized the upper hand" in the war over the past year, the fresh assessment warns, and "is on a path to accrue greater leverage" as peace talks with Washington are underway.
"Even though Russian President [Vladimir] Putin will be unable to achieve the total victory he envisioned when initiating the large-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia retains momentum as a grinding war of attrition plays to Russia's military advantages,” the report states.

Outrage After German Intel Chief Says Ukraine War Should Keep Going For Another 5 Years
Via Remix News,
The Ukraine war has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives, but Germany's top intelligence chief is predicting far more carnage, and Ukraine's opposition is reacting with outrage.
Bruno Kahl, the head of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) made the comments in an interview, saying:
“If a war in Ukraine comes to a standstill earlier than (2029 or 2030), then all the means (of Russia) – both the technical and the material – are able much earlier to provide a threat against Europe.”
In Ukraine, this portion of the interview has been met with sharp backlash.
German newspaper Berliner Zeitung now asks:
“Will the war be waged on the backs of the Ukraine?”
Perhaps a ridiculous question concerning it has already been waged on their backs for the last three years.
The paper further writes:
“In Ukraine, that passage is causing excitement. The reading in Kyiv: The German i...

US 'Immediately Lifts' Pause On Intel & Military Aid To Ukraine As 30-Day Truce Plan Agreed Upon
An apparent breakthrough in Jedda talks between the US and Ukraine, as the United States has announced it "will immediately lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine."
The Zelensky government has also "expressed readiness to accept the U.S. proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, and which is subject to acceptance and concurrent implementation by the Russian Federation," the statement said.

"The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace," it added. This comes after a reported over eight hour-long meeting between the US and Ukrainian delegations in the Saudi port city on Tuesday. No doubt, the Ukrainians came hat in hand, ready to please Trump after relations had fallen off a cliff with the...

High Level US-Ukraine Meeting Set For Riyadh After Zelensky 'Apologizes'
The US and Ukraine will give it another try, after the 'missiles for minerals' deal has faltered amid President Zelensky's resistance to signing the deal, and the big diplomatic blow-up and spat of last Friday.
Top US and Ukrainian officials are expected to meet in Saudi Arabia next Wednesday to discuss a ceasefire effort with Russia, which will mark the first such high-level meeting since last Friday's public spat involving Zelensky at the White House.
Not only were weapons shipments to Kiev suspended as of Monday, but US intelligence-sharing followed. Max Blumenthal of the Gray Zone has aptly commented, "Ukraine can not carry out long range attacks inside Russia without US satellite guidance and intel. This is what we meant when we said the US was waging a proxy war that tempted nuclear escalation."

Trump Exposes More Evidence Of Proxy War After Disabling Ukraine Access To U.S. Missile And Drone Systems
Authored by Sundance via The Last Refuge,
The media have not, and in most cases cannot, factually discuss what President Trump has just done without opening up a major can-of-worms about the motives behind the Ukraine war.
When President Trump stopped “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine, what he technically did was stop allowing Ukraine to use exclusive USA targeting systems controlled by U.S Intelligence, the CIA, the National Reconnaissance Office and the U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
These terrain mapping systems, the missile and drone targeting systems, are what military forces inside Ukraine need to carry out offensive drone and missile attacks against Russian forces.
Some elements in Western Intel are leaking to media that Trump only cut-off the targeting system that would permit Ukraine to hit deep into Russian territory, including in Russia proper. However, th...
