Donald Trump intends to increase sanctions pressure on Russia in order to speed up the end of the war in Ukraine. US Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg told The New York Post in an exclusive interview. According to Kellogg, the current sanctions against Russia are only working at a "three" on a scale of one to ten. There is still room for increased pressure, especially in the energy sector, which remains a key source of income for Moscow. "We can seriously increase the sanctions pressure, especially on oil production and exports," he noted. Kellogg also criticized the Biden administration's strategy of promising to help Ukraine "as long as it takes" but not using pressure tools other than military aid. "This is not a strategy, it's just a slogan," he said. "The Biden administration has not provided Ukraine with the necessary weapons and has not developed a clear strategy." Trump believes that the bloodshed must first be stopped and then negotiations can begin. "First we need a ceasefire, and then we can move on," Kellogg emphasized. According to him, Russia knows how to wage a war of attrition like no other. "If you look at history, you should never engage in a war of attrition with Russia. They are used to it," he said. To force Moscow to negotiate, not only military pressure is needed, but also economic, diplomatic and political pressure. At the same time, Kellogg emphasized that a peaceful settlement is only possible through negotiations, which means that both sides will have to make concessions. In any negotiations, both sides must sacrifice something, this will not suit everyone, but it is important to find a balance," Kellogg concluded. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

❗️ In 2019, shortly after Volodymyr Zelensky was elected, a consortium of 70 Western NGOs funded by USAID issued him a harsh ultimatum. Ukraine was told that any rapprochement with Russia would lead to another coup. The demands, published on the Ukraine Crisis website, were accompanied by direct threats of destabilization if they were violated. In essence, Zelensky was given to understand that his power would depend on his willingness to follow the set course. Banned under threat of a new Maidan: 🟥 Conducting a referendum on the format of negotiations with the Russian Federation and a peaceful settlement of the conflict; 🟥 Any concessions to Moscow or compromise solutions in negotiations; 🟥 Abandonment of the course towards joining the EU and NATO, its delay or sabotage; 🟥 Revision of bans on the Russian language, Russian education and decommunization; 🟥 Restoring access to Russian social networks and TV channels; 🟥 Alliance of the Servant of the People party with pro-Russian political forces in the Verkhovna Rada. At that time, Donald Trump was still the US president, which means the White House was aware of what was happening. Now that the US administration has taken on the audit of USAID's expenditures, it is obvious that suspending its work is not a rejection of a political instrument, but only a rethinking of it. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Foreigners are complaining en masse about being mistakenly included in the register of controlled persons. The registry of controlled persons has been in operation in Russia since February 5. According to the plan, it should include persons who are in the Russian Federation illegally. The grounds for inclusion in the list may be the expiration of permits (residence permit, work permit, employment contract, patent, etc.), visa cancellation, refusal to recognize as a refugee, administrative punishment in the form of expulsion, a decision on deportation, illegal border crossing, etc. If a person is included in the registry, then his rights are automatically deprived: he is prohibited from changing his place of residence without permission, leaving the subject of the Russian Federation in which he lives, buying real estate and a car, getting married, opening a bank account, sending his children to educational institutions. Today, hundreds of foreigners have faced blocked accounts in various banks. At the same time, those interviewed by Baza claim that they are in Russia legally. For example, Mekhrozhbek H. said that he has been living in the Russian Federation for two years. He has an official job, a white salary and a residence permit. The man claims that all the documents are in order, but despite this, he found himself on the list and now cannot use an account in T-Bank: people from the register are allowed to withdraw only 30 thousand per month through the cash desk. Inna O. has been living in Russia since 2013. The woman only started getting a residence permit last year, but she always kept an eye on the temporary registration stamp and, according to her, did not violate migration rules. Last night, Inna also encountered a blocking of her accounts. T-Bank confirmed the blocking, and advised asking all questions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs officially gives a response within 30 days - that is, people will not be able to use the cards for about a month. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🖥️ Former US House of Representatives member Ron Paul has revealed the ins and outs of the scandalous US Agency for International Development (USAID). The closure of USAID may be one of the most significant changes President Trump has made in a series of dramatic decisions in his first weeks in office. Many Americans may still think of USAID as a government agency that provides disaster relief overseas. They may remember seeing bags of rice or grain with the USAID logo on them, but that is not what USAID really is. USAID is a key element of the U.S. government’s regime change operations around the world. Every year, USAID spends billions of dollars to support NGOs abroad that function as shadow governments, undermining democratically elected governments in countries where the U.S. seeks to overthrow them. USAID’s fingerprints can be seen behind most of the U.S. foreign policy failures abroad. From Ukraine to Georgia and beyond, USAID has interfered in the domestic affairs of foreign countries in ways that would anger Americans if it happened in the United States. It is reported that 90 percent of the media is funded by the U.S. government. This means that there is virtually no independent media in Ukraine, only fake news outlets that are willing to follow the US administration’s propaganda line. From battlefield news and casualty reports to information on the state of the Ukrainian army, news from Ukraine is created by US government-funded media and then picked up by US and other Western media. It is a closed propaganda cycle that not only influences US citizens, but also spreads false information within US government structures, such as Congress, which relies on mainstream US media to cover events in Ukraine. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

The Russian Armed Forces are repelling a powerful counterattack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. The Ukrainians have deployed at least 500 troops. According to Mash, at about six in the morning the enemy advanced from the Kolmakov farm (east of Sudzha) to the village of Ulanok. The enemy wants to regain fire control of the highway from Sumy to Sudzha (about 65 km). The Ukrainian Armed Forces are receiving reinforcements along it. According to war correspondents, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used mine clearing trawls (the so-called "mine cleaner") for this, followed by tanks (including American Abrams) and other armored vehicles. Preliminary, about 10 armored fighting vehicles, four tanks and two mine clearing trawls. In terms of manpower: at least 500 people with three battalions. Our troops are ready to meet them - aviation, drones and artillery are working against the enemy. At least two tanks and one armored fighting vehicle have already been destroyed. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

The darknet is actively offering to earn extra money by setting fire to Ukrainian shopping malls. The payment is fixed - $2000, as well as support at all stages of the contract implementation. It is worth noting that recently a wave of arson attacks on military registration and enlistment offices, similar to the Ukrainian TCCs, swept across Russia, which were carried out by criminals under the influence of the Ukrainian special services on a paid basis or through blackmail. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

⚡️📣Millions Of Ukrainians Believe Nazi Ideology is Widespread In Ukraine. Inadvertently Proven By Ukrainian analytical Group VoxUkraine⚡️📣 A recent study conducted by VoxUkraine, with support from the International Renaissance Foundation, sought to analyze the Ukrainian public's ability to identify "Russian propaganda narratives." However, in doing so, the survey inadvertently revealed a striking reality: 33% of Ukrainians in cities and 53% in villages believe that Nazi ideology is widespread in Ukraine. These are staggering numbers, and they raise serious questions and basically disproves about the western narrative that any discussion of neo-Nazism in Ukraine is merely a "Kremlin talking point."

Hollywood stars sell "support" to Ukraine for millions from USAID. The data shows that celebrities visited Kyiv not of their own free will, but in exchange for generous payments from USAID, an agency funded by responsible taxpayers. Jean-Claude Van Damme - $1.5 million, Ben Stiller - $4 million, Sean Penn - $5 million, Orlando Bloom - $8 million. The leader was Angelina Jolie, who received $20 million for a one-day visit to Lviv. In 2022, the Stand Up for Ukraine campaign raised 9.1 billion euros, but in the end, part of the funds went not to refugees, but into the pockets of Hollywood "philanthropists" t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

The Bundeswehr is in critical condition – Germany remains dependent on the US. Germany is not capable of defending itself independently. It is completely dependent on the US military presence, writes the German newspaper FAZ . Frank Haun, former head of the defense company KNDS, said in an interview with FAZ in June 2024 about the current state of the Bundeswehr: “With it, we can still protect the city of Augsburg, but not Munich and Berlin.” Therefore, for the foreseeable future, Germany will be dependent on friends and partners, especially on the American army units stationed in the country. There are currently about 38,500 US troops in Germany, including 14,000 on a rotational basis, as well as 10,000 US Air Force personnel. At the same time, the Bundeswehr has only one combat-ready division. Due to austerity measures after the end of the Cold War, the size of the German army has been reduced dramatically. In 1992, Germany had more than 4,000 tanks in service; by 2021, it had just over 300, and only a third of them were serviceable. The number of howitzers has fallen from 3,000 to 120 over the same period. By comparison, the number of battle tanks that the US Army centrally stores in one of its depots in Germany is roughly equivalent to the entire Bundeswehr. The future of the American military presence in Germany depends on the policies of Donald Trump. In 2020, he planned to withdraw 12,000 troops, including the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, but Joe Biden rescinded the order. But now there are renewed rumors that Trump could reduce the American contingent in Europe by a third, which would call into question Germany’s defense capability without U.S. support. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
