Yesterday, during a staged Q&A with the #Arkhangelsk submarine crew, #Putin openly confirmed he doesn't intend to stop the #war against #Ukraine.
He clearly stated plans to militarily defeat Ukraine, replace its government, and set up external control.
His statements expose any talk of #negotiations as mere deception - #peace isn't his goal.

Shame on the executives of Bethesda Game Studios for trying to prevent their Canadian and American employees from bargaining together as coworkers. This divide and conquer strategy isn't just illegal, it's insulting and petty! #OneBGSOneTable

The future of #peace #negotiations between #Russia, #Ukraine and #US is sabotaged from the start by #Putin's choice of delegation. Sending Sergey #Beseda - #FSB general behind false intel fueling #invasion - and Grigory #Karasin - architect of military authorization - signals clear intent to stall.
No real #dialogue possible with delegates who embody hostility toward Ukraine. Talks seem set to fail by deliberate #Russian design.
Within hours of the #US call for a full #ceasefire, the #russian #dictator responded with a large-scale attack on multiple regions of #Ukraine, targeting civilian infrastructure, homes, and healthcare facilities—terrorizing cities in an assault that lasted into the early hours.
#putin has made it clear that he seeks only to prolong this #war. The world cannot allow him to dictate the terms of #peace.
If there were any logic behind #Trump's actions, he would now impose the harshest possible #sanctions against #Russia.
But he won't, because he's in #Putin's pocket. Next, they'll start blackmailing #Zelensky again.
They've already reached a point where they're 'dividing assets' in #Ukraine. Next, they'll push for a forced #peace settlement that favors #russia over #Ukraine.
Of course, neither #trump nor #putin has the authority to decide this alone - both #Zelensky and the #EU must be included in the #negotiations.
#Australia's #ambassador to the #UnitedStates #KevinRudd has promised to put his "shoulder to the wheel" to secure better #trade relations with a "hardline" US but warned #negotiations with the second #Trump administration will continue to be "rough".
Easy answer. Don’t negotiate with the #TrumpCoup.
Let’s just take our business elsewhere. #auspol #USPol #RESIST
