Russia is not satisfied with the Ukrainian territories it has already seized during the war and seeks to take over the entire country, US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Meet the Press on NBC News.

When host Kristen Welker asked what Russia would have to give up as part of a peace agreement with Ukraine, Trump responded: “All of Ukraine.” Welker pressed Trump for clarification, asking if he meant that Russia would not retain a single piece of Ukrainian territory it has seized.

“No, no. Russia would have to give up all of Ukraine. Because what Russia wants is all of Ukraine. And if I didn't get involved, they would be fighting right now for all of Ukraine. Russia doesn't want the strip that they have now; Russia wants all of Ukraine,” Trump said. “And if it weren't me, they would keep going. Do you know that the European Union leaders have asked me to call Putin so many times? Because he doesn't return their phone call.”

Russia must be destroyed. We can't keep dealing with their endless aggressions and endless provocations which are how they do business.

They're like the neighborhood thug who robs everyone to make a living. At some point that crap has to be ended.

Brief Excerpt:

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, May 6, 2025

Kremlin officials are continuing to leverage the mythos of the Soviet Union's role in the Second World War to form the basis of a new state ideology that will span generations and that Russia intends to leverage to justify a future military conflict against the West ... Shoigu reiterated Russian narratives designed to justify Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and accused the collective West of preparing for a direct military conflict with Russia and seeking to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia.

Russian officials also appear to be leveraging the story of the Second World War (referred to as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) to dismiss Russia's early failures in the war in Ukraine and present the false image that Russian victory in Ukraine is as inevitable as the Soviet triumph over Germany became at the end of World War II.

This seems to indicate the war Russia started will continue for the foreseeable future.

Putin to be protected by special cross, icon and blessed bulletproof vest on Victory Day

A source in the Kremlin close to Vladimir Putin told us about this. According to him, “many hope that the President will decide to be cautious and not come to the parade.” “You won't get it. Vladimir Vladimirovich is aware of all the threats, but measures will be taken to ensure that none of these threats come true,” the channel's source addressed ill-wishers. He noted that the Church has also taken measures to protect the President along with the special services.

“Vladimir Vladimirovich will be very seriously protected at the parade. He will wear a blessed cross with his initials [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5370 ], a pectoral icon of St. Prince Vladimir, personally blessed by Patriarch Kirill, and a special bulletproof vest. It was also blessed by the patriarch. Some people may find this strange, but the stakes are too high, we cannot take risks,” Putin's ally said.

The AP [ Presidential Administration ] representative added that the President continues to pray fervently for the parade in Moscow on May 9 to go well [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5624 ]. Church sources confirmed this information to us and said that they are “proud of the spiritual protection that they have established and created for Vladimir Vladimirovich.”

Russia is moving its air defense systems to Moscow to shield its parade and Putin himself from Ukrainian drones and missiles. Apparently, around 280 air defense systems are heading to Moscow. Some of them, of course, will participate in the parade. Others will be standing guard.

Other preparations are more obvious. On May 5, practically all mobile networks in Russia were disrupted. Most complaints were heard from Moscow. And this is no coincidence. Russia apparently plans to block access to mobile networks and the Internet to protect the Victory Day parade in Moscow from possible attacks, which would apparently be coordinated using those public communications. Since rehearsals for the parade were already underway, the networks were blocked.

Moscow, especially Red Square, is famous for its electronic warfare systems, used even during periods of peace. For example, GPS navigation often does not work there. Russia can block all mobile communications in the center of its capital. This is, of course, to prevent spies, drones and other weapon systems from using them.

Meanwhile, some Ukrainian experts believe that something might go wrong in Russia's Victory Day parade, but it wouldn't be Ukraine's fault. There are some concerns that Russia might be planning some false-flag operations. For example, they could organize attacks against the parade and blame Ukraine for them. This could be in attempts to justify further attacks against Ukraine or to prove to the US that, allegedly, it is Ukraine that doesn't want peace.

Ukraine paid a devastating price in WWII:

5 million civilians were killed and 3 million soldiers gave their lives fighting. Ukrainians’ role in defeating Nazism was crucial – yet too often overlooked. Let's remember the true history of WWII and honor those who fought for freedom.

Putin's inner circle is worried. "Bad doubts are creeping in," more internal enemies are emerging who want the SVO to end

The attacks of Ukraine, including on Moscow [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5633 ], and their consequences have sharply and very quickly increased the number of potential internal enemies who want the SVO to be completed as soon as possible under any conditions. Several sources in Vladimir Putin's inner circle told us this.

"It is no secret that there are those who want the fighting to end, and as soon as possible. The current situation, everything that is happening with the airports and so on, unfortunately, has sharply intensified them. People who were true patriots just yesterday are now whispering that, they say, "everything needs to end" ( we wrote about one such example - ed. [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5632 ] ).

Enemies and potential enemies have raised their heads and are starting to spread rumors that Vladimir Vladimirovich allegedly does not control the situation. What's next? Will someone again think about an assassination attempt on the President [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5164 ]? The situation, frankly speaking, is very alarming. But we will respond to the threats, and harshly," one of the channel's interlocutors noted.

Another admitted that Vladimir Vladimirovich is indeed a little nervous. "The fact that we were unable to organize adequate, safe preparation for the Victory Day parade and protect its participants is, of course, a disgrace. That's what the President says. We need to find all the culprits. Including seriously looking into why the military sent drones so close to Moscow. What are they even doing?" the source was outraged.

In his opinion, “it is important that Vladimir Vladimirovich defended himself, including with the help of icons and crosses ( we wrote about this - ed. [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5629 ] )”.

“It is good that we are scaring the enemy with “Oreshnik” [ https://t.me/bazabazon/37142 ]. But this will not solve all the problems. I expect strong public steps from our President. Some statements, after which Russia will understand – everything is fine! Because some bad doubts have started to creep in, they need to be stopped! And of course, it is necessary to deal with the enemies – external and internal,” our interlocutor added.
