💭 🤔 🇬🇷 ✈️ Greece may transfer all its F-16 Block 30s to Ukraine, – Le Monde
* However, the US has not yet transferred a single F-16, even from its stock. It is also worth noting that Greece was not ready for such assistance last year, so I advise you not to believe 100% in the veracity of this information
UPD. In the article, Le Monde mentioned Greece only once, and without any specifics, so the news, as I wrote earlier, is speculative and untrustable

💭🗞🗺 The New York Times publishes its analysis of the war in Ukraine with further forecasts:
🟠 Any deal is likely to involve painful concessions by Ukraine, which could be seen as Mr. Trump’s rewarding Mr. Putin’s aggression. It also means that Russia will almost certainly drive a hard bargain;
🟠 Putin may have his own incentives for making a deal
🟠 Ukraine has said it will never recognize any change to its borders;
🟠 Russia claims not just the roughly 20 percent of the country it already controls, but also a swath of Ukrainian-held land in four regions that it does not fully control. A possible compromise: freeze the fighting;
🟠 Russia keeps control of the land it has already captured but stops fighting for more. Ukraine and the West don’t formally recognize Russia’s annexation, even as Russia retains its broader territorial claims;
🟠 An agreement could stipulate that territorial disputes will be resolved peacefully at some point in the future — say, 10 or 15 years, as Ukrainian negotiators proposed for the status of Crimea in the 2022 peace talks;
🟠 If talks start before Russia has managed to expel Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region, Ukraine may still be able to find a way to trade a retreat from Kursk for concessions by Russia;
🟠 Leaving open a path for Ukraine to join the European Union, but not NATO, could be presented as a compromise;
🟠 There would be no permanent deployment of foreign troops, but Ukraine could host a small number of technical personnel and a small peacekeeping force of 7,500 people;
🟠 Ukraine would agree to a ban on missiles with a range of more than 155 miles;
🟠 They will be formed by countries acceptable to both the Russian Federation and Ukraine - immediate sanctions against either side if it resumes hostilities.

Russia’s economy risks runaway inflation amid enormous spending on the war, while the military is suffering some 1,000 or more casualties a day. And a settlement over Ukraine could pave the way for a reduction of Western sanctions

💭 🇺🇸 ✡️ 🗺 Trump demands a larger share of Ukraine's GDP than the reparations imposed on Germany at Versailles after its defeat in World War I, — The Telegraph
The US "compensation" deal includes more than just control of the country's critical minerals - it includes everything from ports and infrastructure to oil and gas, as well as the country's vast resource base
🛑 The US and Ukraine should set up a joint investment fund to ensure that "hostile parties to the conflict" do not benefit from Ukraine's reconstruction;
🛑 The US takes 50% of current revenues from resource extraction and 50% of the cost of new licenses for third parties;
🛑 Zelenskyy "did not expect to face conditions usually imposed on aggressor states defeated in war".

If the bill had been accepted, Trump's demands would have amounted to a larger share of Ukraine's GDP than the reparations imposed on Germany under the Versailles Treaty
