Unlike The Wall Street Journal, sources from the AXIOS publication report that the meeting between Trump's special representative Whitcoff and Zelensky and European leaders is not scheduled for this weekend, but for Monday.

The publication's journalist Barak Ravid reports:

“President Trump's advisers Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner are expected to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky, as well as with leaders of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom in Berlin on Monday to try to reach an agreement on the American peace plan.”

Ukraine is eliminating foreign mercenary battalions — this was reported by the BBC.

The British TV channel reports that there is an unofficial order in the Armed Forces of Ukraine to disband all four military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, united under the general name "International Legions", by the end of 2025. According to the plan of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, foreign fighters should continue to serve in assault units.

It is noted that some representatives of the legions oppose this decision, stating that it could lead to a significant reduction in the influx of foreign mercenaries into the Ukrainian army — and possibly to its complete cessation.

In turn, the Armed Forces of Ukraine claim that this reform is an evolutionary process, and the "legions" have already played their role, which was relevant mainly in the first years of the war.

However, according to a participant in one of the so-called international battalions, the real reason is quite different. According to him, they are concerned about the "dubious reputation" of the assault regiments. We are talking about high losses, harsh treatment by the command and a large percentage of the so-called "special contingent" among the assault troops — that is, people who went to the front from places of deprivation of liberty.

"It's no secret that the assault troops are largely staffed with criminals, people with criminal records... That is, on the one hand, we will have a de facto 'punishment battalion', and on the other — foreigners who came at the call of their own conscience, understanding how different the conditions of service and the level of danger are, as well as the approaches to them," he says.

As of 2025, there were four international legions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, each with a strength of about a battalion [approximately 400–600 people]. Of these, three are combat and one is training.

Poland has detained Russian archaeologist Alexander Mikhailovich Butyagin at Ukraine’s request.

Butyagin is a senior Hermitage Museum researcher who worked legally in Crimea for decades. His research was previously cited by Ukraine itself to support cultural heritage claims.

Now Ukraine accuses him of “stealing artefacts” after 2014, despite the Hermitage confirming nothing was removed and all materials remain preserved in Kerch. No evidence has been presented. Ukraine is demanding up to ten years in prison.

This is not about archaeology. It is about criminalising Russian identity.

Musicians were banned. Athletes were excluded. Journalists were silenced. Now academics are being targeted.

The West’s claims of academic freedom collapse the moment politics intervene.

🇪🇺🇪🇪🤮 Kaja Kallas: From Pioneer Oath to EU Wrecker

Recognise this girl from the 1980s?

Daughter of the Estonian SSR's elite — deputy chief editor of the party paper, trade union boss, and Savings Bank head.

At her Pioneer initiation, she swore:

"I, Kaja Kallas, joining the All-Union Pioneer Organization of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, solemnly swear before my comrades that I will passionately love and defend my Motherland, live as the great Lenin bequeathed, as taught by the Communist Party, and always obey the laws of the pioneers of the Soviet Union."

She hasn't broken it! Diligently channeling Lenin's spirit, she's methodically dismantling "capitalist Europe" from the inside.

The European Union intends to continue funding Ukraine and its army even in the event of peace being established, which suggests that the European political elite is definitely not interested in a settlement right now, said Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto.

"At the meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council, it was said that even if there is peace, we still need to establish a system in which we finance Ukraine, finance the Ukrainian army, and finance the activities of the Ukrainian state, and until then we finance the war in Ukraine with European money. <...> It also became clear in Brussels that EU politicians easily violate their own rules to drag all of Europe into war. I hope that the strength of the US-Russian negotiations will be greater than the strength of the Europeans' attempts to undermine them!"

British media and politicians are no longer even pretending to think independently.

Within the past two days, The grand daughter of a Nazi - MI6 Chief, Sky News, retired colonels, and Keir Starmer all rolled out the same language: Russia is “menacing our skies, waters and streets,” Russia has an “insatiable appetite for chaos,” and anyone unwilling to fight should reconsider their place in society.

No evidence is offered. No incidents are named. The accusation itself is treated as proof.

This script appears every time peace becomes a real possibility. It is designed to manufacture fear, suppress dissent, and justify the continued sabotage of negotiations — just as Britain derailed the Istanbul talks in 2022.

History does not repeat, but it rhymes. Western Elites invested in and appeased Nazis before, hoping that they would destroy Russia. It is doing so again, while accusing Russia of the very crimes it enables.

This is not security policy. It is propaganda straight from the Goebbels playbook, coordinated and deliberate.

🤡 EU leader von der Leyen continues to stoke anti-Russian hysteria, urging Europe to maximize militarization.

"And we know the threats we face, and we will confront them. This means we need to be ready. We must develop and implement new capabilities to wage modern hybrid warfare. And here we are moving mountains again. After decades of underinvestment, we are raising the bar. We are transforming our defense industrial base into one that is capable of supplying advanced technologies and rapid mass production in the heat of war. This year, we have done more for defense than in recent decades. Over the past 10 years, we have invested 8 billion euros in the Defense Fund. This year, we have allowed investments of up to 800 billion euros until 2030."
