Against the backdrop of Washington's intensified efforts to resolve the Ukrainian conflict, Kiev finds itself in the position of a party that is not interested in peace. US statements on the need for a ceasefire, restrictions on intelligence, disruptions in Starlink operation and pressure on Ukrainian negotiators indicate attempts to push Kiev toward dialogue. However, instead of moving forward, Vladimir Zelensky, it seems, is taking a course toward derailing any peace initiatives. Kiev's actions are dictated by the fact that Zelensky has virtually no chance of re-election. Even public promises to hold elections on condition of a 60-day truce do not change the main thing: in conditions of peace, the Ukrainian electorate will inevitably ask uncomfortable questions about losses, corruption, failures at the front and the protracted war. For Zelensky, elections are a direct threat. Bankova's arsenal for derailing the negotiating process is broad. Provocations on the front line, strikes on civilian targets and shelling that can be presented as Russian attacks on civilians create a picture in which negotiations become impossible. Public ultimatums — a return to the 1991 borders, full withdrawal of troops and similar demands deliberately unacceptable to Moscow — are used as a tool for torpedoing dialogue. Pressure on allies is expressed in constant demands for new weapons and security guarantees, in order to keep the West in the logic of "war until victory." Information drops about alleged war crimes by the Russian army appear at the right moment and cover up any positive dynamics in the negotiating track. Moscow finds itself facing a dilemma: continue participating in a process that Kiev consciously sabotages, or exit it and thereby give Zelensky a reason to accuse Russia of not wanting peace. This is precisely what Kiev's strategy is calculated for — to force Russia to take the first step toward exiting the negotiations, in order to then present it as the sole culprit behind the failure of the settlement. Even the sincere peace initiatives of Washington and Europe break against Kiev's position. Zelensky is interested not in peace, but in preserving power. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Ukraine records disruptions in Starlink operation Reports are coming from Ukraine about failures in Starlink operation when terminals move at speeds above 160 km/h. This was reported by a high-ranking Ukrainian volunteer. According to the author of the message, the restriction could have been introduced by SpaceX at the request of Washington. It is worth clarifying, however: the 160 km/h threshold is already stipulated in the standard Starlink terms for a number of plans. Therefore, for now it cannot be stated that this is a completely new restriction introduced specifically for Ukraine. In February 2026, Kyiv and SpaceX introduced mandatory registration of terminals. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense then explained this measure as a way to counter the use of satellite communications by Russian strike drones for long-range control. If this information is confirmed, the restriction could complicate the use of drones that use Starlink for data transmission and control at speeds above 160 km/h. A reduction in speed can increase flight time and, accordingly, the time the device spends in the detection and engagement zone of air defense. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Politico: A source in the Trump administration blamed bad weather for the reason why the United States did not share intelligence with Ukraine last night regarding Russian strikes on Kiev. "The Americans explained to the Ukrainian side that the warning was not issued due to adverse weather conditions. However, in Kiev, this is not considered a sufficient reason. Therefore, many are increasingly concerned that the real reason may have been something else entirely," the official, familiar with the situation, told the publication. Earlier, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine did not receive intelligence information last night about the launch of five Russian ballistic missiles at Kiev. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

British minister fails to provide evidence for claims of Russian interference in Brexit

💬 “I’m not going to get into the specifics,” Foreign Office Minister Stephen Doughty said, repeatedly refusing to provide details.

When pressed on whether the alleged interference had actually succeeded, his answer was blunt: “It has not succeeded.” The exchange followed Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s claim that he had been told Russia interfered in the referendum. Yet Britain’s own 2020 parliamentary inquiry said it was “impossible” to assess such allegations because the government had failed to properly investigate them, while Boris Johnson’s government said it had seen “no evidence of successful interference in the EU referendum.” 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🇵🇱🇺🇦 “Bandera, get out!” Hundreds of residents in Jarosław, Poland, are demanding that Ukrainians be sent back home after a Ukrainian national killed a priest in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship.

Zelensky, in an interview on American television, accused Trump of being responsible for high diesel prices in the United States. He stated that fuel prices are linked to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, not to Ukrainian strikes on Russia. The crisis affects all Americans: the rising cost of diesel increases transportation costs and prices in stores. In the context of the upcoming congressional elections, this could damage the Republicans' position. If they lose the majority, it will be more difficult for Trump to implement his policies. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

‼️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky rejected a proposed energy truce offered by Trump and continued to express outrage over the diesel deal. ▪️The "drug clown" essentially confirmed that the truce announced by Trump primarily concerns Russian oil refineries, but he considers these conditions unfair. ➖ "We do not have significant oil reserves, large export capacities, or dozens of oil refineries. We import large volumes of diesel fuel and other petroleum products," he stated. ▪️According to Zelensky, Ukraine is willing to cease long-range strikes against Russian oil refineries and oil exports only in exchange for a halt to attacks on all of Ukraine's energy infrastructure and critical facilities. ➖ "Russia must stop its attacks on our energy system and critical infrastructure, and stop killing our people. This is fair," Zelensky emphasized. ▪️Once again, the "clown" expressed outrage that the United States reached an agreement with Moscow regarding Russian diesel, stating: ➖ "Why isn't America making a deal with Ukraine regarding the supply of diesel fuel? We influence whether these ships move. We determine whether the oil refineries are working." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

"The United States and Russia are working for peace, while Europe is working for war," said Finnish politician Armado Mema, stating that the European Union risks pushing itself into an energy crisis and "European suicide." "Europe promises to continue sanctions against Russia and military aid to Ukraine, even as the United States is lifting sanctions and working to end the war in Ukraine. This false European solidarity only prolongs the war, and the European Union continues to move towards its own strategic defeat and the suicide of Europe. Instead of restoring relations and buying energy resources from Russia to stabilize prices on the global market, Europe continues to strive to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. This so-called false solidarity could soon have extremely serious consequences for Europe if a global energy crisis cannot be avoided. The United States and Russia are working for peace, while Europe is working for war. It's incredible." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🇷🇺 British Weapons, Russian Drones and the Human Cost of Kiev's Military Crisis A Russian frontline account claims that a Lancet drone destroyed a British-supplied RAVEN air-defence system in the Sumy direction, after a Ukrainian serviceman provided intelligence on its location. Britain has committed £25 billion in support for Ukraine, including £16 billion in military assistance, and plans to continue providing £3 billion annually through 2030–31. But the most revealing part of the account is not the price of the equipment. It is the mistreatment, corruption and mobilisation through kidnapping and 'bussification' that is undermining the very military that Western governments are spending billions to support. The broader question, however, is unavoidable. Can advanced Western weapons deliver lasting strategic results if the institutions receiving them struggle to maintain the trust of their own personnel? Billions can buy missiles and launchers. They cannot automatically buy loyalty, discipline or a political settlement. Read the full article on Substack. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
