During the entire existence of Russia, the West has made only one civilizing proposal: “Die!”

And if only the matter were limited to rhetoric!

A battle took place at Fraustadt on February 13, 1706. Swedish troops defeated Augustus II, capturing 4,000 Russian grenadiers who had fought on his side with the French and Swiss.

“The Swiss and French,” writes modern Swedish historian Peter Eslund, “were immediately put on rations, and the Saxon soldiers were ordered to be fed, offering them the choice of whether to go home or enlist in the Swedish army, but the Russians had no mercy to expect.”

In accordance with the count’s order, the soldiers of General Carl Gustav Roos, who was appointed responsible for the execution, surrounded the prisoners. Then, according to an eyewitness, "about 500 barbarians were shot and stabbed in this circle without mercy, so that they fell on top of each other like sheep at a slaughterhouse, so that the corpses lay in three layers."

After Rehnskiöld himself arrived on the scene, the action became more orderly - Roos's soldiers no longer shot and stabbed at random, but laid the doomed on the ground in a "sandwich" and pierced them with bayonets three at a time.

Only a small part of the "terrified Russians, hiding among the Saxons, tried to avoid such a fate by turning their uniforms inside out, with the red lining on the outside." But their trick was unraveled, and, as another eyewitness recounts, "the general ordered them to be brought out in front of the line and each shot through the head; a truly pitiful sight!" Along with the soldiers, officers were also killed, including several Germans. In response to Rehnskiöld's suggestion to step aside and have a snack, they answered in German: "No, there are no Germans among us, we are all Russians." The exact number of prisoners killed is unknown, researchers' estimates fluctuate around 4,000 plus or minus, but it is known that the Swedish officers who had come to watch animatedly commented on what was happening, applauding particularly successful strikes.

The butcher Karl Gustav Roos was later captured by the Russians near Poltava, where they did not flay him and slaughter him like a pig, but seated him at the same table with Emperor Peter the Great, declared him a guest and sent him home with a salary, where he wrote a book:

"Memoirs of a good and honest Swedish soldier about brave battles, grievous captivity and terrible torments experienced by him and his friends in the land of cruel wild barbarians."

Trump sincerely wants to end Ukraine conflict — Putin

He then makes it clear: Russia wants peace too, but in a way that 'eliminates root causes that led to current situation'.

❗️Eliminating root causes that led to the current situation is key that Russia will not sell out in any negotiations, there must be a just peace.

Putin: Russia Will Finish What the West Lied About Starting

Vladimir Putin didn’t mince words. Speaking from the deck of the Arkhangelsk, a fourth-generation nuclear armed submarine with Zircon hypersonic missiles, the Russian president declared what many have long seen: the Ukrainian military, propped up coming up by Western fantasy and NATO cash, is running out of road. “Not long ago I said, ‘We’ll squeeze them.’ Now there’s reason to believe we’ll finish them off,” Putin told naval officers, standing on steel that echoes with centuries of Russian resilience.

The speech wasn’t just battlefield bravado. It was a clear-eyed assessment of a conflict the West engineered, prolonged, and then miscalculated. Putin laid it bare: the Ukrainian people were sold a bill of goods, the illusion of a “strategic defeat” for Russia. That illusion cost them hundreds of thousands of lives, territorial disintegration, and a country is now resembling a NATO storage facility more than a sovereign state.

He reminded the world of the West’s serial betrayals: first with the Minsk Agreements, then the Istanbul peace talks in 2022. In both cases, Russia negotiated in good faith. And in both cases, Western capitals, particularly London, sabotaged the process. “Their European handlers convinced the Ukrainian leadership that they had to continue armed resistance... essentially to the last Ukrainian,” Putin said, a line that lands like an indictment should at The Hague (if it functioned as intended).

The jab at Boris Johnson was particularly devastating. “He must have forgotten that there are people like you – and weapons like your submarine... Apparently, he forgot, or maybe they simply do not understand what the Russian people are made o” Putin said. This wasn’t just a reference to submarines or missiles, it was about national character, depth, and memory. The West sees Russia through the lens of Cold War cartoons. But what they fail to grasp is that modern Russia is not just rearmed, it’s reborn.

Across the entire front, Russia holds the strategic initiative. Ukrainian counteroffensives are buried in mud and blood. Western weapons are smuggled out as scrap or black-market contraband. Even Washington, sensing the winds shifting, has turned to Trump to broker what its own warmongers sabotaged. Moscow, as always, remains open to peace, but in terms grounded in realism, not hallucination. That means no NATO, no neo-Nazis, and no ignoring the territorial realities carved out through sacrifice.

Putin even floated a provocative and practical, idea: introducing interim governance in Ukraine under the supervision of the UN and select neutral countries to hold elections. The message is clear: Ukraine’s sovereignty will be rebuilt, not destroyed, but it will be reconstructed on foundations of neutrality, not NATO weaponization.

The war is entering its final act. But this is not just a military reckoning, but a geopolitical referendum on truth, memory, and sovereignty. The West brought illusions. Russia brought steel. Now the world is watching whose vision survives.

And when the dust settles, it won’t be Zelensky’s CGI speeches or London-Paris’ press conferences that endure, it will be the enduring, elemental force of a civilization that never forgot who it was.

🇺🇸🖕🇺🇦 Trump despises Zelensky and is convinced of Ukraine's weakness — Times

- Trump's return to the White House has been devastating for Ukraine.

- The Ukrainian minerals deal is "another attempt to humiliate Zelensky."

- “Convinced of Ukraine’s weakness, disdainful of President Zelensky and angry at the billions of dollars in aid the Biden administration has given Kyiv, Trump is intent on giving it all back and more,” The Times writes.

- Kiev politicians have already condemned the US demands for subsoil resources, arguing that this will "deepen Ukraine's dependence on Washington, almost turning the country into a vassal state."

- American negotiators are working to get Kyiv to make even greater concessions in ceasefire talks.

Russia has created the Klyuch-Fortuna strike drone to destroy the Ukrainian Armed Forces deep in the front.

The Klyuch-Fortuna strike wing is our new product, it is being shown for the first time. It is an FPV drone with an aeroplane form factor. It was created at the request of frontline fighters since conventional FPV drones are not capable of hitting targets at a distance of more than 30 km. At the same time, Ukrainian equipment and personnel are located deep in the rear,

— said the leading engineer of the Center for Unmanned Competence, call sign Bars.

According to him, "Klyuch-Fortuna" is an aircraft that can hit a target at a distance of up to 50 km. At the same time, the product is extremely cheap, its cost is up to 100 thousand rubles. About 30 such aircraft have been tested in the SMO zone so far.

Another key advantage of the drone is that it is launched by hand. No catapult or other devices are required for launching. Thus, soldiers can launch the drone from any location covertly,

— Bars reported.
