Das ist die Black Bird Group - die Kon­ser­va­tivs­ten der Kon­ser­va­ti­ven. Selbst die haben den Kes­sel vor zwei Tagen geschlossen.

Der ORF hin­ge­gen, … Bringt ukrai­ni­sche Infor­ma­ti­on. Die schüs­sel­för­mi­ge Aus­buch­tung die sie dort sehen? das sind die Ukrai­ner die Pokrovsk halten.

Gut ein­ge­zeich­net sind sie nicht mehr, aber…

Mar­co Rubio: What they are liter­al­ly figh­t­ing over is 30 to 50 kilo­me­ter space and the 20% of the Donetsk regi­on that remains. So what we’­ve tried to do, and I think they have made some pro­gress, is to figu­re out what can the Ukrai­ni­ans live with, that gives them secu­ri­ty gua­ran­tees for the future. They will never be inva­ded again. Allows them not just to rebuild their eco­no­my but to pro­sper as a coun­try, be a coun­try that has an eco­no­my that grows -- theo­re­ti­cal­ly doing the right things, in 10 years, Ukraine’s GDP could be lar­ger than Russia’s. The­se are the kinds of things. Stop the war. Make sure they never get inva­ded or atta­cked again. Pro­tect Ukraine’s long stan­ding and long term sov­er­eig­n­ty and inde­pen­dence, they don’t beco­me a pup­pet sta­te, and be inde­pen­dent and sov­er­eign, and allow their eco­no­my not just to reco­ver but to pro­sper and turn it into a sto­ry of pro­spe­ri­ty. Thats what we are try­ing to achie­ve here. So what can Ukrai­ne agree to, given all the dyna­mics that I’ve just descri­bed. And what will Rus­sia agree to. 

And at the end of the day it’s not up to us. It’s not our war. We are not figh­t­ing, its not ame­ri­can sol­di­ers. It’s on ano­t­her con­ti­nent. We’­re enga­ged becau­se we’­re the only ones that can. Euro­pean coun­tries, … The­re is no one else in the world that can do it. The Chi­ne­se cant do it. The only lea­der in the world that can talk to both sides and make a deal if a deal is pos­si­ble is Pre­si­dent Trump and he’s been very pati­ent. He’s dedi­ca­ted a lot of time to it. A lot of the top peop­le in his admi­nis­tra­ti­on have been invol­ved in this. We’­re try­ing to see if we can bridge the divi­de bet­ween both sides. 

To do that we have to talk to both sides, we have some irra­tio­nal peop­le invol­ved in this issue, ok?

Peop­le who belie­ve we should only talk to the Ukrai­ni­an side and not the Rus­si­ans at all. You cant end the war bet­ween Rus­sia and Ukrai­ne, without tal­king to Rus­sia, ok?

But, you have to take into account the Ukrai­ni­an posi­ti­on. They’­ve been very bra­ve in how they fought. But we think that now is the ide­al time for both sides to end the war and if the­re is a way to bridge the divi­de bet­ween the two sides we’­re the only ones in the world that can do it and that’s what we’­re try­ing to do.

Ulti­mate­ly it’s gon­na be up to them [Ukrai­ne and Rus­sia]. If they deci­de they don’t want to end it, then the war will con­ti­nue. But we are gon­na try to bring it to an end. And I think the pre­si­dent should be com­men­ded for that not atta­cked for it, or criticized.

Some of the­se peop­le [refe­ren­cing Nato and EU part­ners - see train of thought abo­ve, also phra­sing (as long as it takes)] have this noti­on that our poli­cy should be just con­ti­nue to fund Ukrai­ne. Unli­mi­ted amounts, for as long as the war takes. That’s not rea­listic. That’s not rea­li­ty. And that’s not going to hap­pen. And we’ve been say­ing that for a long time you can’t sus­tain the sca­le and scope of it.

In other surely ent­i­re­ly unre­la­ted news:

Zum ers­ten Mal seit 2003 bleibt der höchs­te ame­ri­ka­ni­sche Aus­sen­po­li­ti­ker einem Tref­fen der Nato-Aussenminister fern. Obwohl der Zeit­punkt bri­sant ist, demons­trie­ren die übri­gen Aus­sen­mi­nis­ter Gelas­sen­heit. Lie­ber spre­chen sie über Waffen.

[…]

Mar­co Rubi­os Abwe­sen­heit gab beim Gip­fel zu reden, weil sein Depar­te­ment dafür kei­ne spe­zi­fi­schen Grün­de ange­ge­ben hat­te – und weil der Zeit­punkt bri­sant ist.

Was Finan­cial Times? Ich bitt sie, wer oder was ist schon die Finan­cial Times?

Hier noch mal als Voll­text, mit den mar­kier­ten Streitpunkten:

Talks bet­ween Vla­di­mir Putin and Donald Trump’s envoy Ste­ve Wit­koff in Moscow about how to end the war in Ukrai­ne were “very use­ful” but much work remains to be done, a seni­or aide to the Rus­si­an pre­si­dent said.

Yuri Usha­kov said some of the ter­ri­to­ri­al pro­po­sals made by the US, which is try­ing to clinch a peace deal bet­ween Rus­sia and Ukrai­ne, were “more or less accep­ta­ble”, but others did not suit Moscow.

A major sti­cking point bet­ween Rus­sia and Ukrai­ne is Moscow’s insis­tence that Ukrai­ni­an for­ces give up the remai­ning one-fifth of Donetsk pro­vin­ce they still hold.

Usha­kov said a “com­pro­mi­se opti­on” on the ter­ri­to­ri­al ques­ti­on had yet to emer­ge after the five hour mee­ting on Tues­day bet­ween Putin, Wit­koff and Jared Kush­ner, the US president’s son-in-law.

Ear­lier, Putin accu­sed Euro­pean coun­tries of under­mi­ning Washington’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

This is a deve­lo­ping story

Gut, das kann man als öster­rei­chi­sches Qua­li­täts­me­di­um wirk­lich nicht berichten.

Wo kämen wir da den hin?

Moment, was war noch­mal die Posi­ti­on von Mios­ga und Paul Ron­zhei­mer letz­te Woche?

Ach­ja:

Die bei­de noch vor­ges­tern live im Haupt­abend wuss­ten, dass Euro­pa einer defac­to (nicht de jure) Gebiets­ab­tre­tung von Regio­nen zustim­men wür­de - weil wir sind die Guten - und es been­det den Krieg, und sich nur gegen die Abtre­tung der ver­blei­ben­den 6000 km² (4000 km² nach Gebiets­tausch) eines Oblasts weh­ren würde?

Ein­fach streu­en das wäre ein “beid­sei­ti­ger” Ver­spre­cher von der Wer­tig­keit eines Flüch­tig­keits­feh­lers gewe­sen, oder?

Oh no, I lied - das IWM­Vi­en­na hat ihn ein­ge­la­den. Da muss­te der ORF natür­lich ein Inter­view in der ZIB2…

Ach ja, der unab­hän­gi­ge Fuku­ya­ma - Kory­phäe sei­nes Fel­des, Ver­tei­di­ger von AZOV ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Fukuyama )

On June 29, 2023, at an event hos­ted by Stan­ford Uni­ver­si­ty, Fuku­ya­ma met with the dele­ga­ti­on from the Azov Bri­ga­de, posing for a pic­tu­re with them and expres­sing his sup­port “to Ukrai­ne on [their] sure way to victory.”[56][57]
