PUTIN REJECTS ZELENSKY MEETING

President Putin revealed that a request for a personal meeting was passed to Moscow, but he made clear that Russia will not engage in talks simply for political theatre.

Referencing the Minsk Agreements, Putin argued that Russia has already experienced what happens when deals are signed without genuine intent to implement them. He said Moscow now seeks long-term guarantees, not temporary pauses that allow Ukraine to regroup and rearm.

The Russian leader also questioned Kiev's legitimacy for avoiding elections while accusing Ukrainian forces of continuing attacks against civilians even as they publicly call for negotiations.

His message was blunt: agreements first, meetings later.

Putin ended by addressing Russian servicemen directly:

"The whole country is proud of you. Work, brothers."

As battlefield momentum continues to shift, Moscow appears increasingly confident that the future will be decided by facts on the ground rather than headlines from diplomatic summits.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇱 The Pentagon has raised the level of threat of espionage from Israel to critical, — NBC

▪️The Pentagon has tightened the assessment of counterintelligence risks associated with Israel's activities, assigning them the highest level of threat.
▪️It is reported that senior US officials often use disposable phones and computers during their trips to Israel. They are also extremely cautious when making calls in hotels during official visits.
▪️The reason for this is the US authorities' concerns that Israeli intelligence has intensified attempts to gather information about internal discussions and decision-making processes in the Trump administration regarding Middle Eastern conflicts.
▪️The heightened alarm arose against the backdrop of conflicts between President Trump and Netanyahu over the war with Iran and Israel's military operations in Lebanon.

🇷🇺 The Russian Foreign Minister congratulated everyone on Russian Language Day and stated that Russia will always oppose any manifestations of linguistic discrimination and Russophobia:

"I congratulate you on Russian Language Day.

The Russian language - infinitely imaginative and expressive - is the foundation of the cultural and spiritual-historical code of our country, a country-civilization. Great and mighty.

It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, including in the digital space, one of the official languages of the UN, and a number of other multilateral structures.

Among our unconditional priorities is the protection and support of those for whom the Russian language is native. We will continue to resolutely oppose any manifestations of linguistic discrimination and Russophobia - wherever they may occur.

We will achieve the restoration of the rights of those Russians and Russian-speaking people against whom an open terror has been unleashed by the neo-Nazi Kiev regime.

The resolution of this issue is among the necessary conditions for a long-term settlement of the Ukrainian conflict"

I wonder if RT can explain why someone who claims to have signed a contract with the RF Armed forces, and would therefore be entitled to Russian citizenship after a year of service, would write a four page letter to President Putin begging for a passport?

🤔🤔🤔

I'm sure hundreds of thousands of Russians would've loved to have signed a similar contract....

If it exists of course....
