The enemy is mainly engaging in diversionary tactics on the Orechov front, trying to distract Ukrainian forces and prevent them from reallocating resources to more active battle zones. The speaker mentions a slight increase in Russian aerial attacks and artillery shelling but emphasizes that there have been no significant changes in the control zones. The ultimate goal remains to defend against the enemy while only engaging in territorial advancements when necessary and advantageous.

00:40:00 In this section, the discussion revolves around the recent negotiations in Riyadh, highlighting the perceived equivalence between Trump and Putin as "terrorists" and war criminals. It notes the lack of concrete agreements from these talks, which lasted four hours and served primarily as an exchange of views rather than a foundation for future discussions. One of the representatives, Ushakov, indicated that no meeting between Putin and Trump was expected soon, pushing any agreements potentially several months away. There was also mention of the presence of U.S., Saudi, and Ukrainian working groups in Riyadh, with speculation about President Zelensky's planned visit to Saudi Arabia.

The speaker emphasizes the outcomes of the recent EU summit initiated by Emmanuel Macron, where European leaders recognized their reliance on the U.S. for security, especially in light of Donald Trump's shifting stance on military support. The overarching theme reflects Europe's hesitation and the need for it to increase its own security measures while supporting Ukraine against Russian military aggression. It is noted that the EU understands the importance of achieving a just and stable peace in Ukraine, as articulated by Ursula von der Leyen, indicating a desire for cooperation with the U.S. to defend peace and independence.

00:50:00 In this section, the discussion centers on Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, emphasizing the ongoing challenges in formulating reliable security guarantees amidst strong divisions among European leaders regarding Russian influence. Ursula von der Leyen highlighted that the European Union would provide a substantial financial support package of 135 billion euros for Ukraine's stability and defense, noting that Germany has announced a significant military assistance plan that includes various equipment and munitions. However, there are concerns regarding differing stances within Europe, particularly from countries like Hungary and Slovakia. Additionally, observations were made about Donald Trump's eagerness to negotiate peace, motivated by a desire for the Nobel Peace Prize, contrasted with Putin's calculated timing, particularly around the symbolic date of May 9, which commemorates the Soviet victory in World War II.

00:55:00 In this section, the discussion revolves around the differing approaches of Russia and the United States regarding territorial negotiations with Ukraine. The notion of a ceasefire is linked to the significance of Victory Day on May 9, which Putin desires to use for propaganda purposes, declaring a triumph despite historical inaccuracies. An assertion made by Russia's UN representative reflects a continuous demand for territorial concessions from Ukraine, particularly in the regions of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, leading to discord with the U.S. stance. The legitimacy of negotiations involving Ukrainian President Zelensky is debated, exacerbating the situation. Overall, it is suggested that any potential agreements may not materialize until several months later, illustrating Russia's strategic manipulation in the ongoing discussions.
