If the Russians and Trump reach a deal, I think Trump will use that turn all guns blazing on the EU next.   NATO peace keepers from places like France or Britain in Ukraine is a non-starter.  But maybe Indian or Hungarian?  Who knows.  

Tactically, not sure what you think the situation is, but it sounds to me like the Ukrainians are about to start deploying fibre optic drones.  Once that happens....

Question. Why are Europeans going to underwrite a deal they didn't broker? Guess what, they aren't.

Simple choice, either do as they are told or face the wrath of Trump.

What is the Trump going to do? put tariffs? a strong worded twit? They (he and Hegseth) have already said they don't care for Europe and lost all capacity to influence anything here.

Russians are not taking part in negotiations, "collective Putin" is. And we allready see how "guardians" aka "patriots on payroll" statred to spread the message "one who is against peace deal is not patriot" https://t.me/boris_rozhin/154500 (exactly as it was predicted by Strelkov)

No idea why you believe so, as they are allready using them for significant time. Actually, they have only started using them later because their drone production and supply system is more flexible/less centralized then Russian one and because of that they were for a long time able to be one step head of pro-Rus EW means, making their radio-controlled drones able to operate while too standard pro-Rus drones were easyly delt with by standard EW.

Question. Why are Europeans suffering tariffs from America, going to give a tinkers toss what the orange messiah thinks?

  Because this "orange messiah" was elected by hundreds of millions of citizens of USA, still the most powerful nation on this planet he is now at helm of?

  By the way note he is no more "orange", more like gray/white....

Well, if you want even more economic decay - go ahead. Russia and the US are perfect partners to destroy the EU.

Millions are entirely capable of voting for idiots. But credit where it's due, at least they get a choice.

'Europe must take a lead in it's own affairs, but stand back whilst President Trump sells out Ukraine.'

Hesketh is a complete idiot, I entirely understand why Trump picked him.

your inability to recognize the warnings about expanding nato to russia's borders since the 1990s by policy makers who understood the risk that there was risk of a disaster coming

 

your inability to see the lies to keep the illusion going

 

your continuing inability to see that ukraine would not and cannot win this war

 

your inability to see that the longer the west throws ukraine at the russians in this proxy war only worsens any hand either kyiv or the west has to bargain when it comes time to agree to settle

 

and your implicit recognition that your own country is in no position to leverage anything or at least to your own expectations by offering nothing other than your TDS like obsessions

 

all of that does not matter

 

what you see is what you get

 

it is not london which has anything to leverage

nor france

nor nato generally

without trump

 

or you would be seeing a different movie than what you are actually seeing

 

in fact we are seeing how this globalism project was a bad illusion - libya, syria, iraq, afghanistan, ukraine among the questionable domestic policy decisions of the west being exposed

 

dislike it as you may

 

but you are not going to see anything different while you complain

If I properly interpret many Russian reader comments, the Chinese electric cars are not very popular. It doesn't have to stay that way, but that will take time.

BYD is the biggest electric car manufacturer in the world. China also dominates electric bus market.

Question mainly for Roman or someone else who has contact with someone on the front. How does the rhetoric of negotiations influences the morale of the combatants?

Because it shouldn't be very motivating for the combatants on both sides that it doesn't matter if they capture a village or not if in the end Donald  decides where the border will go.

P.S. More on pro-Rus frontline reaction 

"So this is a conversation with the Russian President for Trump (https://t.me/nenubesit/1945 ) is an important event, but for us it's just a working moment.

They are trying to sell this in America as an important step towards peace and a demonstration of strength towards the EU, but we understand that yesterday's dialogue did not change anything in reality." https://t.me/andreymikheev/2751 )

"By the way, if you calm down, this is a good idea. 

Now I will share my take on opinions from the fields. I'm writing to all the fighters, asking them what they'll do if the war ends.:

— We don't know anything, we have a plan until the end of April.

Or

— We are aerial reconnaissance, it will not affect us at all: we will always look for targets behind enemy lines. 

In general, as I understand it, it is easier to postpone negotiations than to change the plan. 

Well, joking aside, most of them didn't understand what it was about at all. They don't read the news."https://t.me/limkat22/1638)

With US leadership, Europe was able to keep most of the rabbits in line WRT to Ukraine.  But if the US withdraws, then cohesion will be degraded as most of the continent starts focusing attention in other directions.  In some cases, (say Italy) the move away from the war will be quick.  In others, (perhaps France) it might take an election to decide the matter.  But overall, seems the safe bet to assume that if the Russians don't do something stupid like listen to the likes of Strelkov, that the Western bloc will erode.

I told you 10 years ago that NATO might be weaker than it appeared.

Erosion of "Western block" is natural process that do not depend on Russia's actions (the same way as erosion of USSR was natural process not dependent on West actions). In reality "Russians not listening to the likes of Strelkov" is prolonging the sipercomfortable position for "Western bloc" as "non-likes of Strelkov" were pumping Russian wealth to West for free (artificially boosting West economy)  - and are dreaming of being allowed to restart this practice again.

P.S. Fresh pro-Rus joke is "Now we must keep President Zelensky safe at all costs, as he is the only obstacle capable of preventing RF leadership from signing another Minsk-style capitulation"

  Only a complete idiot wants this war to continue, and think things will improve for Ukraine the longer it continues.

I'm affraid you are taking Western propaganda for reality. It is civil war in Russia, every person killed on this war is Russian (not depending on passport  - RF or Ukr - this person have, by the way note many have both, like people from Crimea and Donbass for example), and every day the war is prolonged means more dead Russians, more destruction of Russian infrastructure (as there is no such thing as "Ukrainian infrastructure", all is constructed by USSR or even Rus Empire). West will be pleased with any outcome, be it Russia staying devided into "Ukraine" and "Russian Federation" or reunified, as it will be a lot of losses and destruction anyway. Another question is this war is loosening West control of Russia, result of 1991, as it is also de-facto war for independence fought both against West directly and against colonial Gov imposed by West in Russia.

NATO will be history. The US can not be so stupid to keep paying for the defence of Europe. I think president Musk will not have that.

Only a complete idiot thinks an end to the war is what is on offer.

At best all that is on offer is a ceasefire of 5-10 years before they try again. Who knows, Putin may be  dead by then. They might actually have someone who understands military matters by then, and wont keep stealing out the till.
