⚡️🧩⚡️ As of yesterday, February 24, 2025, the terms "linear diplomacy" and "crisis of linear diplomacy" have been introduced into circulation.

Let’s break it down. In recent years, we have become accustomed to straightforward and LINEAR diplomatic frameworks. If country X is at odds with country Z but begins to warm relations with country Y, which has good ties with country Z, it signifies an attempt to pull Y away from Z. This is a simple and clear example of linear diplomacy. We have adapted to this logic. However, yesterday's events significantly challenged this reasoning and triggered a CRISIS in linear diplomacy.

The facts from the past day are as follows:

1. Take the voting in the UN General Assembly and Security Council. Initially, the UK and France angrily condemned Russia in a resolution at the General Assembly, but shortly thereafter, they had no objections to an objectively American-Russian resolution in the Security Council. The phrase "American-Russian position" would have seemed absurd just earlier this month. To top it off, the US, Russia, and China voted "Yes" together in the Security Council, something that hasn’t happened in many years!

2. The long-anticipated visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, who proudly traveled to the US to persuade Donald Trump to change his views on the Ukrainian crisis and relations with Russia, ended in a complete REPROGRAMMING of the French patient. It was so unexpected for Macron that he couldn’t find the words. It all began upon his arrival when Trump didn’t even come out to greet him at the White House steps. Then footage circulated showing the French president sitting at the edge of Trump’s table in the Oval Office, looking like a poor relative being read a will that didn’t mention him at all. Before our eyes, Macron began to "flip-flop," changing his position to the exact opposite, stating that negotiations with Russia are necessary and that he is personally ready to call Vladimir Putin.

Even if he partially reverts his position upon returning, the crisis of linearity is evident.

3. In Kyiv, the Zelensky team held a major gathering of the European war party yesterday, complete with numerous performances and beautiful photographs. Suddenly, right in the building of Ukrainian democracy—the Verkhovna Rada—a complete failure occurred before the bewildered guests: the Rada DID NOT CONFIRM Zelensky's LEGITIMACY‼️

It can be said directly that Vladimir Zelensky was sent packing ‼️

4. At the end of the day, Trump and Putin both echoed calls for a swift peace in Ukraine and discussed joint exploration of rare earth metals, including in former Ukrainian territories now under Russian control, which would imply recognition of these territories as Russian‼️

This is an absolutely nonlinear diplomatic move.

So, that was yesterday—a third anniversary of the start of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict. And also a day when global politics has definitively turned into one big, endless show, marked by a crisis of all forms of linear diplomacy‼️

🕊️🌍🕊️ Alliance for Peace

The UN Security Council has approved the resolution on Ukraine proposed by the United States.

The resolution was adopted in its original, neutral form, without condemning Russia's invasion. It includes a call for the "immediate cessation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict."

Ten countries voted in favor (the USA, China, Russia, Algeria, Guyana, Sierra Leone, South Korea, Pakistan, Panama, and Somalia), while five abstained (the UK, France, Greece, Slovenia, and Denmark).

Thus, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale war, the USA, Russia, and China voted together in favor of a resolution on Ukraine.

Britain and France could have vetoed it but chose not to.

Russia views the resolution positively as a "starting point for further efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis," stated Russian representative Nebenzya 🤷

🧩🧩🧩 Anniversary. 3 Years of War

It’s hard to believe that three years have passed — both incredibly fast and agonizingly slow. Each year has been distinctly different:

😱 The year 2022 was one of shock. The country plunged into utter horror. Yes, it was clear from the start that Arestovych's claims about a quick resolution were just wishful thinking. But few understood how prolonged this would become.

🌈 For many, 2023 was a year of hope. The government managed to convince the majority that the entire West stood with Ukraine, NATO would ensure future security, and a successful counteroffensive was almost within reach. As we warned, that didn’t pan out. Russia recognized its mistakes, regrouped, dug in, and prepared for 2024.

🎩 The year 2024 became a year of shattered illusions. The turning point came with the delivery of Patriot missiles and F-16s, hopes for the restoration of the 1991 borders, improved negotiation conditions for Ukraine, Kamala Harris winning instead of Trump, and the ability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to effectively continue mobilization — NONE of these came true. Even the most optimistic have realized where things are headed.

🕊 We have now entered the military year of 2025. While it may not become a year of peace, it has the potential to lay the groundwork for one. For now, it is marked by the harsh reality of NATO's absence and the need to pay reparations. We are confident that globalists, the UK, and Zelensky will continue to fight, but their options have objectively diminished.

Our task for this remaining military year is to survive. It would be foolish to perish just before the end of this war. Wishing for peace as soon as possible, dear subscribers 🙏

🧩Globalists at the anniversary of the major war

Reuters reports on a summit of leaders in Kyiv dedicated to the start of the largest conflict in Europe since World War II in 2022:

"The summit, held on the third anniversary of Russia's war on Ukraine, brought together leaders from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Spain, Canada, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, among others. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and European Council President Antonio Costa were also present.

Leaders of Albania, Britain, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, Moldova, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland and Turkey spoke by video link. There was no sign of U.S. representation."

All because the US is busy dealing with issues rather than making yet another trip to Zelensky to express concern and solidarity in the ongoing war, silently standing in front of the memorial of flags in Maidan and listening to air raid sirens as a precaution.

"The European leaders rallied around Zelenskyy in speeches, calling for countries on the continent to step up support for Kyiv, while some spoke of the urgent need to increase defence spending.

…It is unclear how much European allies could fill the gap if US support slows or stops."

From the "powerful" results of today’s events in Kyiv:

- Promises from the UK, Norway, Sweden, and Spain to allocate funds for the war and infrastructure reconstruction;

- Trudeau’s promise that Canada will transfer 5 billion Canadian dollars ($3.52 billion) to Ukraine from frozen Russian assets, as well as military equipment, is still just a promise since Canada lacks any of these resources;

- The UK announced yet another largest, as they say, package of sanctions against Russia since the beginning of the war in Ukraine;

- The 16th package of EU sanctions against Moscow includes blocking 13 banks from SWIFT, comedian Mikhail Galustyan, and a ban on the sale of gaming consoles 🤷‍♂️;

- Ursula von der Leyen promised Ukraine EU membership by 2030 if reforms securing external governance continue at the same pace and quality.

At the same time, amid decreasing US assistance, none of the European "allies" and "partners" have yet dared to send either troops or a peacekeeping contingent to Ukraine while the war is physically ongoing.

Because talking about support is not the same as actually delivering it ✊

🇹🇷 Turkey continues to take jabs at Russia whenever the opportunity arises.

The head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry: Turkey supports Ukraine's membership in NATO.

This won't help Ukraine at the moment, but it's yet another signal to the Kremlin from Erdogan, a supposed ally.

🇩🇰 Danish Prime Minister: Peace in Ukraine may be more dangerous than ongoing war.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said that the US government is currently creating "a lot of uncertainty" about the war in Ukraine, NATO and Europe and expressed doubt that the Russian leader wants peace.

It's interesting to consider who this uncertainty is for. They really aren't holding back anymore.

🧩🧩 Zelensky's Zugzwang

It is becoming increasingly clear that the terms of the American agreement with Ukraine are deteriorating with each round of negotiations, and it is unlikely they will become more favorable than those initially rejected by Zelensky.

Thus, the President of Ukraine faces a difficult choice.

If he refuses Trump, then Trump will come out and say, "Zelensky refuses to pay for the aid that the U.S. provided to Ukraine, that's why Zelensky is a bad guy."

This is a narrative that resonates well with Americans. From this point on, they have every reason to view Zelensky as a dictator because he doesn't want to pay. This is the logic they will construct for the American voter. Subsequently, a fairly predictable scenario will unfold.

If Zelensky signs the investment agreement with the U.S., then Trump will immediately say, "Great, we now have $500 billion in Ukraine; these are our assets. It is very advantageous for us for the war to end tomorrow, and for Putin to stop bombing them. In order for Putin to stop bombing our assets, a peace agreement must be reached between Ukraine and Russia. Vladimir Zelensky is the only one standing in the way of America securing our assets and starting to profit. Therefore, he must resign or hold new elections."

That's it.

Does anyone think that Americans will drop their second line of criticism against Zelensky regarding the lack of elections after signing the agreement? We think not.

These are the two terrible options that the New York developer from the '80s has prepared for Zelensky. Of course, everyone in the Presidential Office understands this, which is why they are acting as logically as possible: buying time and trying to gain at least some tactical advantages through the negotiation process (like a personal meeting with Trump before his meeting with Putin) 🧩
