#Putin & #Russianmilitarycommanders continue to promote the #falsenarrative that a #Russianvictory is #inevitable in order to push Ukraine & #theWest into acquiescing to #Russiandemands.
Russian milbloggers & Ukrainian officials both refuted many of the Russian commanders’ claimed successes.

11/13 Putin aims to maintain military pressure while demanding territorial concessions and control over Ukraine's political and military future. A top aide suggested using 2022 Istanbul talks as a basis—terms Ukraine considered tantamount to surrender.

10/13 The fundamental positions remain far apart. Ukraine and European allies want a complete ceasefire before comprehensive settlement talks including a European "reassurance force" inside Ukraine—a non-starter for Moscow.

6/9 Russian inflexibility has particularly frustrated Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vance. Moscow's demands remain maximalist—rollback of NATO, limits on Ukraine's security, and control over Ukrainian internal politics, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

7/10 Putin's conditions remain unchanged—requiring all Western military aid to Ukraine to cease.
When asked about this on Fox News, Trump denied discussing aid, but Kremlin contradicted him Wednesday, saying "the need to halt arms supplies was discussed."

5/8 Despite Ukraine accepting a US proposal for an unconditional 30-day truce, Russia resisted, demanding Ukraine abandon NATO aspirations & surrender territory—conditions Zelenskyy firmly rejected.
Ukraine will "not recognise occupied territories as Russian."

7/8 Russia's sweeping concessions: Ukraine's demilitarization, an end to Western aid, guarantees keeping Kyiv out of NATO, a ban on foreign troops, and recognition of annexed territories—demands that Washington Post reports align with Putin's "maximalist goals."

Russia’s current peace terms effectively require Ukraine to roll over completely. “Let us do what we want,” highlighting the unilateral nature of Moscow’s demands. #RussianDemands #Ukraine #Diplomacy
EU intel has revealed Russia’s “peace” terms: Ukraine must dismantle its current government, abandon NATO, and cede occupied territories. Critics call this a maximalist agenda designed to force Kyiv’s capitulation. #UkraineWar #RussianDemands #EUIntel
13/15 Russia may see little incentive to compromise while gaining ground militarily.
It has already rejected NATO peacekeepers and demands a "new European security arrangement"—essentially a reduced NATO presence in central and northern Europe.
