Why the Baltics Are Preparing for Putin | The Story
Estonia, one of the Baltic states, sits on Europe's front line with Russia. The country that was, like Ukraine, once part of the Soviet Union is increasingly worried about the threat Putin poses, and has plans in place if there is an invasion. But, if western Europe can no longer rely on the transatlantic alliance, will it work? And what could Britain learn from it?

Former Kremlin Advisor Says 'Best Possible Outcome Is Ukraine’s Total Capitulation' | BBC News
Mar 14, 2025 | While US President Donald Trump pushes Russia and Ukraine for a ceasefire, influential voices in Moscow are calling on the Russian authorities to adopt a hard line.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested he is ready for a halt in fighting but says "there are nuances" - which he laid out talks with US envoy Steve Witkoff at the Kremlin on Thursday.
From the start of this war, Putin has demanded the "demilitarisation" of Ukraine, which is anathema to Kyiv and its allies.
The BBC’s Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg has been speaking to political scientist and former Kremlin advisor Sergey Karaganov.

In No Hurry for Cease-Fire, Putin Demands Numerous Ukrainian Concessions
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The remarks by the Russian leader suggested he wanted to draw out negotiations or make a truce impossible. Ukraine’s leader called the response to a cease-fire plan “manipulative.”
President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Thursday did not rule out a U.S. and Ukrainian proposal for a monthlong cease-fire, but he set down numerous conditions that would most likely delay any truce — or could make one impossible to achieve.
Mr. Putin’s comments during a news conference highlighted the balance he was trying to strike, exuding confidence in Russia’s position on the battlefield while seeking to continue talks with the United States and avoid upsetting President Trump. The U.S. president, having antagonized the country’s allies and realigned American foreign policy in Russia’s favor, has emerged as a key geopolitical partner for Mr. Putin.
In sharp remarks later in the day, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said the Russian leader set so many conditions “that nothing will work out at all or that it will not work out for as long as possible.”
Mr. Putin’s comments came before he was to meet with Steve Witkoff, Mr. Trump’s Middle East envoy, to discuss the cease-fire proposal that Ukraine had already agreed to. As of early Friday Moscow time, the Kremlin had not commented on how the meeting went. But the Kremlin said Mr. Putin had also spoken by phone with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, about Ukraine. » | Anton Troianovski | Reporting from Berlin | Thursday, March 13, 2025

Comrade Trump: Is His Relationship with Russia Too Close for Comfort? | DW News
Mar 11, 2025 | Donald Trump's handling of Ukraine since he came to office has reignited questions about his connections to the Kremlin. So far, he's been pressuring Ukraine's government to make concessions with the aim of starting peace talks with Russia. But why has Trump put no pressure on Russia to make concessions?
America's new alignment with Russia has upended a world order that has been in place for decades. US President Donald Trump's new deference to the Kremlin has alarmed many in the west. Trump and his administration have taken several steps favoring Russia, without appearing to require anything in return.
The first bombshell was an announcement in February by the new US defense secretary that Ukraine's goals of NATO membership and a return to pre-2014 borders were 'unrealistic'. In another boost to Vladimir Putin, the US agreed to hold talks with Russia on ending the war but excluded Ukraine. In a further rehabilitation, Trump said Russia should be re-admitted to the G7. Then in what critics are calling one of the most incomprehensible examples: the US sided with Russia in UN resolutions on Ukraine that contained no criticism of Moscow - again without appearing to demand concessions.
All the above have happened since Trump was inaugurated in January. But Trump's relationship with Russia and Putin goes back much further.
Journalist and New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger says that Donald Trump is indeed a Russian asset.

Malcolm Nance Sounds the Alarm: America's Betrayal of Ukraine Could Lead to Global Disaster
Mar 6, 2025 | Malcolm Nance spent three decades in U.S. intelligence before taking up arms with Ukraine’s foreign legion. Now, he’s sounding the alarm: The American president isn’t just disengaged from Ukraine—he’s actively undermining its fight for survival.
A New York Times best-selling author and former MSNBC analyst who left his post to join the battlefield to liberate Ukraine, Nance is soon headed to Washington, D.C., to join the national rally to support Ukraine, he brings with a clear message: Americans must stand with Ukraine to win - anything less would be a disaster not just for Ukraine, but for the US.
Yet, securing U.S. support for Ukraine has grown increasingly difficult, as some lawmakers remain loyal to the cause, others dismiss the threat or align themselves with Putin’s vision.
For Nance, the choice is clear: Will America champion democracy, or will it allow authoritarian darkness to spread across Europe once again?

Ukraine Must Cede Territory in Any Peace Deal, Rubio Says
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The secretary of state, heading to talks with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, said future talks with Moscow will be needed to determine what Russia is willing to give up to end the war.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that Ukraine would have to make concessions over land that Russia had taken since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war. » | Alan Rappeport | Traveling with the secretary of state | Monday, March 10, 2025
Is this what Trump calls the 'Art of the Deal': peace at any price? Russia invades the Ukraine and Trump expects the Ukrainians to give up land for peace! There is something drastically wrong with this picture. – © Mark Alexander
