🇺🇦🇷🇺UKRAINIANS FLEE KURSK AS RUSSIA CLOSES IN—TALKS BETWEEN INTELLIGENCES SIGNAL SHIFT

Ukraine’s elite brigades have retreated from Russia’s Kursk region, abandoning efforts to slow Moscow’s Donbass offensive as Russian forces reclaim Sudzha via a bold underground pipe operation.

A Ukrainian soldier lamented, “My friends escaped encirclement, but it’s a grim reality.”

Russia’s momentum now threatens further gains if Putin presses forward.

Meanwhile, Russia’s intel chief Naryshkin spoke with CIA Director Ratcliffe, days after the U.S. pushed Ukraine for a 30-day ceasefire—met with Kremlin skepticism.

🚨🇷🇺PUTIN WAITS FOR DETAILS ON UKRAINE CEASEFIRE DEAL

The Kremlin said it won’t weigh in on a 30-day ceasefire offer until the U.S briefs Russia on the details – meanwhile, their forces keep advancing in Ukraine.

In a major shift, the U.S resumed military aid and intel sharing with Kyiv while also opening direct talks with Moscow.

A Russian insider claimed Putin won’t agree to a deal “in its current form” without guarantees, as Russia controls nearly a fifth of Ukraine and Ukraine’s grip on captured Russian land weakens.

They said a Putin-Trump call could be arranged “very quickly” if needed.
