For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

Russia Is Entering the Point of No Return || This Economic Fall Will Shock the World​

Russia’s economic crisis is spiraling faster than global analysts predicted. The latest financial data, collapsing oil revenues, and intensifying sanctions pressure all reveal a nation racing toward a historic economic breakdown. In just three days, the numbers show a system under extreme stress—massive borrowing, rising default risks, stranded oil shipments, and a financial structure cracking under the weight of its own contradictions.

With Russia cut off from global markets, the government is desperately selling domestic bonds to survive. Borrowing lines for 2025 are skyrocketing, exposing deep structural weakness in the Russian economy. Billion-dollar losses in the energy sector, plummeting oil exports, and frozen foreign assets are creating the most dangerous financial environment Russia has faced in decades.

Lukoil’s $10 billion market collapse, blocked international operations, and stranded crude shipments highlight how sanctions, oil disruptions, and global energy realignment are dismantling Russia’s economic power. China and India—Russia’s biggest buyers—are pulling back, replacing Russian crude with Saudi oil as imports fall by over 36%. More than 380 million barrels of Russian oil now sit unsold, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars per day.

Inside Russia, the pressure is even worse. Thousands of transport companies are heading toward bankruptcy, overdue loans are hitting record levels, and businesses are being crushed by new taxes, rising costs, and collapsing demand. The public is withdrawing trillions of rubles from banks, signaling deep fear of what comes next.

Ukrainian strikes on key oil terminals are intensifying the crisis, shutting down major ports like Novorossiysk and damaging critical infrastructure. With every hit, Russia loses more revenue, more stability, and more economic leverage.

This is no longer a slow decline—it’s a rapid economic unraveling. Sanctions, oil collapses, financial panic, and military pressure are combining into a perfect storm that threatens the future of Russia’s economy and its place in the global system. The coming months may force Russia into extreme measures that change the geopolitical landscape forever.

Russia's Oil Price PLUMMETS to $36 per Barrel​

Russia's export price they are getting for their Urals oil has collapsed to $36.61 per barrel as a result of Western sanctions and Ukraine's drone strikes. This is well below Russia's break even price and Russia is now losing money after expenses on every barrel of oil they now export. Ukraine is also continuing their successful strikes on Russian power plants.

US threatens to cut intel, weapons to press Ukraine into peace deal: Sources

KYIV - The United States has threatened to cut intelligence sharing and weapons supplies for Ukraine to press it into agreeing to the framework of a US-brokered peace deal, two people familiar with the matter said. Washington has presented Ukraine with a 28-point plan, which endorses some of Russia’s principal demands in the war, including that Kyiv cede additional territory, curb the size of its military and be barred from joining NATO. The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Kyiv was under greater pressure from Washington than during any previous peace discussions, and that the US wanted Ukraine to sign a framework of the deal by Nov 27.

A delegation of senior US military officials met President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Nov 20 to discuss a "path to peace." (aka capitulation to Russia). The US ambassador in Ukraine and the army public affairs chief travelling with the delegation described the meeting as a success and said Washington sought an “aggressive timeline” for the signature of a document between the US and Ukraine. Mr Zelensky, who held a phone call on Nov 21 with the leaders of allies Britain, Germany and France, appeared careful not to reject the US plan or to offend the Americans. “We value the efforts of the United States, President Trump, and his team aimed at ending this war. We are working on the document prepared by the American side. This must be a plan that ensures a real and dignified peace,” he said.

European leaders, who were not consulted on the 28-point plan, expressed their strong support for Kyiv. Britain’s Keir Starmer, Germany’s Friedrich Merz and France’s Emmanuel Macron held a joint phone call with Mr Zelensky. Europe’s own plan consisted of just two points, said the EU foreign policy chief, Ms Kaja Kallas: weaken Russia and support Ukraine.

US officials, defending their plan, have said it was drafted after consultations with Mr Rustem Umerov, secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council, a close Mr Zelensky ally who served as defence minister until July. “This plan was drawn up immediately following discussions with one of the most senior members of President Zelenskiy’s administration, Rustem Umerov, who agreed to the majority of the plan, after making several modifications, and presented it to President Zelensky,” a senior US official said on Thursday.

But Mr Umerov said on Nov 21 he had not discussed the plan’s terms, much less approved them. “During my visit to the United States, my role was technical – organising meetings and preparing the dialogue. I provided no assessments or, even more so, approvals of any points. This is not within my authority and does not correspond to the procedure,” he wrote on Telegram.

In other words, the Trump Administrating is lying through it's teeth. Again. Trump is simply echoing Putin's demands and tryig to force Ukraine to surrender.

After meeting a visiting US delegation on Nov 21, Mr Umerov said Kyiv would not accept a plan that violates its sovereignty. The Kremlin said Russia had not received anything official from the United States about a 28-point peace plan for Ukraine. Kyiv should make a “responsible decision”, and do it now, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Russia’s demands spelt out, Kyiv’s left vague/ The plan, a copy of which was reviewed by Reuters, includes terms that Ukrainian officials have previously dismissed as tantamount to surrender after their soldiers fended off a full-scale Russian invasion for nearly four years at huge cost. It would require Ukraine to withdraw from territory it still controls in eastern provinces that Russia claims to have annexed, while Russia would give up smaller amounts of land it has captured in other regions. Ukraine would be permanently barred from joining the NATO military alliance, and its armed forces would be capped at 600,000 troops. NATO would agree never to station troops there. Sanctions against Russia would be gradually lifted, Moscow would be invited back into the G-8 group of industrialised countries, and frozen Russian assets would be pooled in an investment fund, with Washington given some of the profits.

One of Ukraine’s main demands, for enforceable guarantees equivalent to the NATO alliance’s mutual defence clause to deter Russia from attacking again, is dealt with in a single line with no details: “Ukraine will receive robust security guarantees”. Mr Trump, who returned to office in 2025 vowing to quickly end the war, has accepted some of Russia’s justifications for its 2022 invasion of its neighbour while also expressing some impatience with Moscow. In October, he cancelled a proposed summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and imposed sanctions on Russia’s two main oil companies, set to come into full effect on Nov 21, Washington’s deadline for foreign buyers to wind down Russian oil purchases. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told a news briefing that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US special envoy Steve Witkoff had quietly worked on the plan for about a month. “This plan was crafted to reflect the realities of the situation, after five years of a devastating war, to find the best win-win scenario, where both parties gain more than they must give,” she said.

The acceleration in US "diplomacy" comes at a time when Ukrainian troops are on the back foot on the battlefield and Mr Zelensky’s government has been undermined by a corruption scandal. Parliament fired two Cabinet ministers on Nov 19. With the war’s fourth winter approaching, Russian troops occupy almost one-fifth of Ukraine and have been grinding slowly forward along a 1,200km front line. Russia says it has taken control of the city of Kupiansk in north-eastern Ukraine and most of Pokrovsk in the east, its first big prizes in nearly two years.

Zelensky warns Ukraine risks losing US support over White House peace plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Kyiv risks losing US support over a White House plan on how to end the war with Russia. Addressing the nation on Friday, Zelensky said Ukraine "might face a very difficult choice: either losing dignity, or risk losing a key partner", adding that "today is one of the most difficult moments in our history". The widely leaked US peace plan includes proposals that Kyiv had previously ruled out: ceding eastern areas it now controls, significantly cutting its army size, and pledging not to join Nato. These provisions are seen as heavily slanted towards Russia, whose President Vladimir Putin said the plan could be a "basis" for peace settlement.

In his 10-minute address in front of the presidential office in Kyiv, Zelensky warned that Ukraine would face "a lot of pressure... to weaken us, to make divide us", adding that "the enemy is not sleeping". Urging Ukrainians to stay united, he stressed that the country's "national interest must be taken into account".

"We're not making loud statements," he went on, "we'll be calmly working with America and all the partners... offering alternatives" to the proposed peace plan. Zelensky also said he had been reassured of continuous support during a phone call with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. After the talks, Starmer stressed that "the principle that Ukraine must determine its future under its sovereignty is a fundamental principle". Separately, Zelensky said he had spoken "for almost an hour" with US Vice-President JD Vance and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, adding that Ukraine "always respected" President Donald Trump's efforts to end the war.

In Washington, Trump warned that Ukraine would lose more territory to Russia "in a short amount of time". He said it was "appropriate" to give Ukraine until 27 November - Thanksgiving in the US - to agree to the peace deal, but added deadlines could be extended if things were "going well". Washington has been pressing Kyiv to quickly accept the plan, and sent senior Pentagon officials to the Ukrainian capital earlier this week.

On Thursday, President Putin sounded determined to continue the war despite reported heavy Russian combat casualties. "We have our tasks, our goals," the Kremlin leader, wearing a military uniform, told his army commanders. "The chief one is the unconditional achievement of the aims of the special military operation [full-scale war]." The 28-point US peace plan emerged as Russia claims small territorial gains in south-eastern Ukraine, while Zelensky faces a domestic crisis implicating top officials in a $100m (£76m) corruption scandal.

The White House has pushed back on claims that Ukraine was frozen out of the drafting of the proposal, following meetings between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian counterpart Kirill Dmitriev. An unnamed US official told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that the plan was drawn up "immediately" following discussions with Ukraine's top security official Rustem Umerov, who agreed to the majority of it. Umerov is said to have made several modifications before he presented it to Zelensky. The leaked draft proposes Ukrainian troops' withdrawal from the part of the eastern Donetsk region that they currently control, and de facto Russian control of Donetsk, as well as the neighbouring Luhansk region and the southern Crimea peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. The plan also includes freezing the borders of Ukraine's southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions along the current battle lines. Both regions are partially occupied by Russia. The US plan also limits Ukraine's military to 600,000 personnel, with European fighter jets stationed in neighbouring Poland. Kyiv would receive "reliable security guarantees", the plan says, although no details have been given. The document says "it is expected" that Russia will not invade its neighbours and that Nato will not expand further. The draft also suggests Russia will be "reintegrated into the global economy", through the lifting of sanctions and by inviting Russia to rejoin the G7 group of the world's most powerful countries - making it the G8 again.

Ukrainians both under and free of Russian occupation struck a defiant tone in reaction to news of the US proposal. In Kyiv, the widow of a Ukrainian soldier told the BBC: "This is not a peace plan, it is a plan to continue the war." Another person speaking from one of the occupied territories in Ukraine told the BBC: "I'm trying to keep my sanity here in the conditions of constant propaganda that Ukraine has forgotten us. I hope they will not sign this." Russia currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory and its troops have been making slow advances along the vast front line, despite reported heavy losses.

It's a totally disgusting proposal from the Trump Administration and as anyne knows, a non-flyer rom the start. These are all conditions that Ukraine has rejected in the past and it would seem the White House is also lying through their teeth on Umerov's involvement. Trump's hallucinating. This is simply Putin's conditions from the start of the war and amounts to a complete Ukrainian surrender and a setup for Round 3 once Russia has recovered. As for Trump's guarantees, they're worth less than shit. If Ukraine has to do without US intelligence and weapons, so be it. The USA will have abrogated any role in international affirs and all support from Europe going forward. And Trump will be dead in the water after the mid-terms anyhow.

Right now, the Russian econmy is going down the tubes fast, their budget is screwed and companie are going bankrupt and closing down left, right and center. The Russian oil industry is being destroyed and by next Spring will be kaput, completely, and without finding, the military will collapse.

So we can see why Trump is trying to force Ukraine into capitulation. When Ukraine refuses, he will wash his hands of supporting them - and personally, I can only hope he's impeached as a traitor and incompetent to be President.

‘Witkoff needs a psychiatrist’: Europeans fume at Trump’s plan to profit from frozen Russian assets

Diplomats and officials react with outrage to new details of the U.S. peace plan, warning it could wreck their efforts to help Ukraine survive the war. Which of course is what Witkoff and Trump want. Witoff because he's a Russian agent and Trump because he's a malignant narcissist who hates Ukraine and wants to make Ukrainians suffer.

BRUSSELS — Donald Trump has hurled a wrench into one of the most sensitive negotiations currently under way in Europe, potentially derailing efforts to help fund Ukraine to stay in the fight against Russia. For months European Union officials have been trying — and failing — to work out a way to use around €140 billion of immobilized Russian state assets held largely in Belgium to support Kyiv’s war effort. The cash is desperately needed as Ukraine is at risk of running out of money early next year. Talks in Brussels are now at an extremely delicate stage, diplomats said, as top officials try to finesse a legal text that would enable the frozen funds to be used for a loan to the Ukrainian government.

But the United States’ new 28-point blueprint for a ceasefire includes a rival idea for using those same assets for American-led reconstruction efforts once a truce has been agreed. The U.S. would take “50 percent” of the profit from this activity, the document said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the new Trump plan confronted his country with one of the most difficult moments in its history: a potential choice between losing its “dignity” and losing “a key partner.”

Multiple EU diplomats and officials said they feared the proposals, from Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, would wreck their chances of the loan proposal being agreed by the EU’s 27 governments. European leaders had been hoping to finalize the so-called “reparations loan” deal at a crunch summit next month.

A former French official, granted anonymity like others to discuss sensitive matters, said the Witkoff idea “is, of course, scandalous.”

“The Europeans are exhausting themselves trying to find a viable solution to use the assets for the benefit of Ukrainians and Trump wants to profit from them,” the person said. “This proposal is likely to be rejected by everyone.”

One senior EU official in Brussels scoffed at the idea and noted that whatever he wants, Trump has no power to unfreeze assets held in Europe. An official from an EU government resorted to colorful swearing to express their dismay, while a senior EU politician said: “Witkoff needs to see a psychiatrist.”

Why a Break With Ukraine Would Be the Biggest Defeat in US History

If Ukraine walks away, the United States loses more than a partner. It loses the foundation of its power. American strength has never been based on weapons alone. What made the US a superpower was that other nations chose to align with it. Influence came from being the centre of a network of democracies that trusted Washington more than any rival. A rupture with Ukraine would expose how fragile that network has become. Europe has already begun shifting its long term defense spending away from the US. Losing Ukraine would confirm that the United States is no longer the natural leader of the Western alliance. When partners stop depending on Washington, American power stops scaling. Its military remains large, but its reach shrinks.

The economic consequences follow immediately. Once Europe reorganizes its defense market around its own industry, American suppliers lose access to the richest democratic market in the world. Those contracts do not return. Neither does the leverage that comes from being indispensable. Regardless, Trump's actions and words have ensured that Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea have no choice now but to distance themselves from the USA - and that is now regardless of any change in President in future. Europe is stronger as an alliance if it's own together than with a back stabbing compromised traitor who will always choose authoritarian dictators over democracy. The USA is now an empire in decline.

The strategic cost is even clearer. Ukraine has been the most visible test of American commitment since nineteen forty five. If the US cannot hold that line, allies will conclude that Washington’s guarantees are conditional and unpredictable. They will design their own security strategies without the US at the centre. That is how superpowers lose status: partners stop believing, and the world recalculates.

Ukraine will continue fighting for survival. The United States will be left fighting for relevance. And losing that fight is far more damaging than losing any battlefield.

This is how this war will now be seen, regardless of the outcome. Trump has ensured the that USA is no longer seen as a reliable partner, Canada will align with Europe,

THE FIGHT CONTINUES! Tensions are rising, Ukraine IS NOT BACKING DOWN!​

Despite the imposition of the US project to freeze the war, Kyiv refuses to accept any agreement that rewards Russian aggression and restricts Ukraine's sovereignty. Ukraine's representative to the UN, Krystyna Riabyshyn, outlined the “red lines”: no recognition of the occupied territories, no restrictions on defense or the right to join alliances. The EU and its ministers also rejected the plan, which was created without the participation of Ukraine and Europe, calling it unacceptable.

In addition, the Ukrainian command refuted Moscow's fake claims of “successes” on the front lines, confirming control over Kupiansk and Vovchansk. Russian propaganda is lying about victories despite the completely different situation and huge losses of personnel among the occupying forces.

Zelenskyy would rather split with the U.S. than accept Trump’s peace plan

Maybe that's what Trump wants to accomplish here. I say that because this 'peace plan' of his is no path to peace. At best it's just deferring the Russian conquest to another couple years down the line.

I think Trump is really under the illusion that he can force a Ukrainian capitualtion, and if not, he's evil and sadistic enough to want Putin to continue the war and continue terror bombing Ukrainian civilians. He's a fool.

Witkoff's plan: how did the Kremlin lure the US into a "peace" trap for Ukraine?


In this interview, we talk to Jonathan Fink, journalist and host of Silicon Curtain. We analyze the “peace plan” for Ukraine, which is more of a capitulation plan than a negotiation document, reflecting the Kremlin's maximalist demands. According to the journalist, Moscow is using such initiatives to divide allies, humiliate Ukraine, and dissuade the US from imposing tougher sanctions. The vast majority of Ukrainians are categorically opposed to any territorial concessions, and holding elections during the war would be dangerous and destructive. A “frozen conflict” would only mean a new war in a few years.

Watch to learn Fink's perspective on the geopolitical game unfolding behind the scenes – from backroom operations to the origins of disinformation and the struggle within Western governments over how to deal with Russia.
- nothing new in Putin's Peace Plan
- any Ukrainian leader who agreed to this would be removed
- looks like a Russian Intel Op to manipuate discussion of a suprious "peace process"
- Moscow knows Ukraine will never accept these points - Moscow is attempting to seperate the US from supporting Ukraine and Trump is gullible enough to fall for it

Putin’s War Command Falls Apart

Russia is facing a command crisis that has now broken into public view. The most powerful general in the country is trapped inside a system that no longer trusts him and can no longer function without him. General Valery Gerasimov has vanished repeatedly from high level meetings and battlefield reports. He reappears only in short bursts of carefully edited footage that offers no real evidence about when or where the recordings were made. The confusion around him is not accidental because the Russian military command structure is tearing itself apart from the inside.

Key deputies linked to Gerasimov have been arrested on corruption charges. These officers were responsible for secure communications, fortifications, and logistics. Money intended for soldiers and battlefield protection was siphoned into private empires, luxury spending, or personal real estate. The scandal has shaken the Russian military because it confirms what many suspected. The system that was supposed to run the war is sinking under the weight of theft and infighting.

Battlefield failures have accelerated the crisis. Russian units are suffering from friendly fire, broken supply lines, and collapsing morale. Intercepts reveal officers begging for basic equipment that never arrives. Gerasimov cannot be removed because his firing would signal a total admission that the war has failed. Putin keeps him in place to absorb public anger and to shield the Kremlin from responsibility.

This video breaks down the structure of this internal collapse, the corruption that triggered it, and the growing fractures inside the Russian command network.

I watched that at lunch today! Great video!

 

[ChloeTzang]

This is 100%. President Zelensky once more emerges looking and sounding like a true leader while Trump comes out looking like the backstabbing scumbag he has proved himself to be.

On top of that, the thing everyone knew long ago has finally become official — 90% of U.S. aid never reached Ukraine and stayed in the hands of Americans through various corrupt schemes. So the suspension of U.S. aid does not scare Ukraine, because that aid hasn’t really existed for a long time. Intel is all that's really coming thru and Ukraine has been working to replace US Intel since they were ct off while they were in Kursk.

Trump has lost almost all US leverage on this war.It will be tough for Ukraine but they will continue to fight and they will destroy Russia.

Vance is fuckimg nuts. Genocide, torture, rape, mass murder and 4 years of continuous terrorist attacks on civilians as well as myrdering and torturting and executing POW's tends to make you hate the fucking Russians. Besides, Russia IS engaging in cultural exchange. The only culture they know. Genocide and war.

I've ALWAYS voted GOP. I fully intendedto sit 2026 out and just not vote, but this latest - I was going to say it's stupidity but it's downright evil - from Trump and now Vance have, very reluctantly, convinced me to vote Democrat. Which makes me want to puke but it's unavloidable.

If Trump hadjust stuck to deporting illegal aliens and rebooting the economy, and canceling all the woke shit in the military and Federal Govt, as well as downsizing the Feds, that was all we wanted. Instead he's gone fuckig nuts with trade wars and backstabbing Ukraine and doing his best to force a victory for Putin.

THat's it for me. I'm going to hold my nose and vote Democrat in the mid-terms to help make sure Trump becomes a lame duck and better yet, impeached, and as for Vance, screw him too.

Welcome to the awakening. It's not as though the road Trump traveled wasn't telegraphed in his campaign speeches and his cabinet choices. It is a brightly lit expressway with giant signs announcing his lunacy and the path of ruin he has taken us down.

Trump, for the next three years, will dig all of America a hole so deep... we will emerge in China.

 

[ChloeTzang]

It's becoming clearer that the Witkoff "Peace Plan" was a straight out translation from Russia of Putin's demands. No wonder Putin thinks its acceptable.

The Trump Administration has lost all credibility. Trump should be impeached for this.

MTG did the honorable thing. All OP House reps and Senators should do the same.
