Russ­land lehnt Tausch von Ter­ri­to­ri­en ab
Russ­land hat den Vor­schlag des ukrai­ni­schen Prä­si­den­ten Wolo­dym­yr Selen­skyj zurück­ge­wie­sen, bei mög­li­chen Frie­dens­ver­hand­lun­gen Gebie­te mit Russ­land zu tau­schen. “Das ist unmög­lich”, sag­te Wla­di­mir Putins Spre­cher Dmi­tri Pes­kow. “Russ­land hat nie und wird nie über den Aus­tausch sei­nes Ter­ri­to­ri­ums sprechen.”

Die Ukrai­ne hat­te im ver­gan­ge­nen August in einer Über­ra­schungs­of­fen­si­ve Gebie­te in der west­rus­si­schen Regi­on Kursk erobert. Selen­skyj hat­te in einem Guardian-Interview kei­ne Anga­ben dazu gemacht, wel­che Gebie­te die Ukrai­ne zurück­for­dern könnte.

This sim­pli­fies things so much, actually…

- No more deba­tes about who wan­ted negotiations.
- No more deba­tes about what rus­sia needs the fur­ther tanks it pro­du­ces for.
- No more, we give you back rus­sia, for this you give us back twice Ukrai­ni­an ter­ri­to­ry gambits.
- Much easier nego­tia­ti­ons. (Free­ze. Done.)

And when Rus­sia gains back its ter­ri­to­ry in Kursk in a years time -- make sure to also make an addi­tio­nal “buf­fer zone”, becau­se thats why Selen­skyj took Kursk in the first place, right? So quid pro quo - this is fair.

Also (embe­ded in this) no chan­ce for Selen­skyj to get reelected.

Von der Ley­en tells US vice pre­si­dent about EU’s com­mit­ment to just peace for Ukraine

Wed­nes­day, 12 Febru­a­ry 2025 — Ulya­na Krychkovska
Euro­pean Com­mis­si­on Pre­si­dent Ursu­la von der Ley­en stres­sed the Euro­pean Union’s com­mit­ment to a just and las­ting peace for Ukrai­ne during a mee­ting in Paris with US Vice Pre­si­dent J.D. Van­ce on Tues­day, 11 February.

Which in Selen­skyj dic­tion means - rus­sia must be defea­ted, so the war has to continue.

Now let me tell you about Selen­sky­js peace for­mu­la from 2023…

Gut, dass sie die deutsch­pra­chi­gen Qua­li­täts­me­di­en so exzel­lent infor­miert haben, nicht?

“If we are tal­king about a deal. Thats what the ame­ri­cans want. Then lets do a deal. We are all for it. Lets do the deal. The ame­ri­cans hel­ped the most, the­re­fo­re the ame­ri­cans should earn the most.”

Vic­to­ry Plan for Ukraine

In Octo­ber 2024, Ukrai­ni­an pre­si­dent Volo­dym­yr Zelen­skyy unvei­led the Vic­to­ry plan for Ukraine,[1] which inclu­des the solu­ti­on to the Russo-Ukrainian con­flict and descrip­ti­on of future natio­nal defen­se guarantees.[2] The offi­cial goal of the plan is “to chan­ge the cir­cum­s­tan­ces in such a way that Rus­sia will be for­ced to peace”.[3]

What pro­xy war?

A war for demo­cra­tic values and rule of law, I say!

Invi­si­ble army in the west libe­ra­tes even more ter­ri­to­ry without any repor­ted encounters:

Wile rus­sia cap­tures more ter­ri­to­ry in the west, and invi­si­ble army actual­ly moves to the east:

While with this it final­ly starts to make sense:

And the­se whe­re yes­ter­days developments:

Ukrai­ne hun­kers down in Pischa­ne. Rus­sia has to move for­ces in from the east. Push to encir­cle Pischa­ne is alrea­dy on the way. Ukrai­ne moves into their flank.

Main attack to the west of that, so rus­sia moves west to out­flank that attack.

Seems like rus­sia does not have enough for­ces in Pischa­ne. Which is real­ly some­thing -- when that should be the most for­ti­fied part of your front oppo­si­te Pokrovsk right now…

Do you know whats so ama­zing about Ukrai­nes coun­ter offen­si­ve in Pischa­ne? Its now a day after the coun­ter attack that took the vil­la­ge in a day and its cur­r­ent­ly 05:30pm in MEZ Euro­pe, and for today the­res not even any figh­t­ing repor­ted in Pischa­ne. The vil­la­ge is basi­cal­ly hol­ding itself!

Never mind no artil­le­ry and no bombs fired yesterday. 

No infan­try enga­ge­ments today at all!

Wow!

Thats ama­zing!

Ja, Alex Amon kann kei­ne deut­sche Gram­ma­tik, war aber mal mein Chef­re­dak­teur. Und ja, der Stan­dard beschäf­tigt kei­ne Edi­to­ren mehr.

VW, make a 10k USD electric car. But make sure it has Tes­las FSD fea­tures in it for free.

China’s BYD Adding ‘High-Level’ Self-Driving to Its Bud­get $10K Electric Car

Becau­se at the high end, this is the chi­ne­se auto­ma­ted dri­ving expe­ri­ence for 35k+ USD cars (which then use three lidar sys­tems) today:

Con­text:

Hua­wei [as seen in the video] is the num­ber one sup­plier of auto­no­mous dri­ving tech in China.

Hua­wei sent 24 employees out to test dri­ve Tes­las in Cali­for­nia during the free tri­al peri­od Tes­la gave for FSD. Their respon­se invol­ved lots of laughter.

Musk’s mee­ting with Li Qiang did not get any appro­val for Tesla’s FSD roll-out in Chi­na. The­re wasn’t even any such news in China.

Even Chi­ne­se EV makers need to go through arduous steps in each city in Chi­na to get their Level 2 driver-assist sys­tems appro­ved (none have Level 3 appro­ved as of now).

Ogan belie­ves the most advan­ced auto­no­mous dri­ving sys­tem is Pony Ai, which has huge ope­ra­ti­ons in Chi­na but goes through extre­me­ly high hurd­les to exchan­ge data bet­ween its tests in Chi­na and the US (Tes­la doesn’t even have sizab­le data cen­ters in Chi­na set up to do the same).

This is so crazy.

The ger­man auto mar­ket real­ly slept through everything…

So now for them its - licen­se Micro­soft Auto for the dash­board, buy - Chi­ne­se FSD packa­ge from Hua­wai. Make a Hua­wai Micro­soft auto inte­gra­ti­on, that works on an Android Pho­ne and an iPho­ne. Put that into a 10K car. Stay cost competitive.

Its insa­ne.

So of cour­se thats never going to hap­pen - and they are tar­ge­ting the “real dri­ving fee­ling” niche in Chi­na, until it shrinks and shrinks and shrinks and dies.

Bra­vo.

Well, also lob­by the EU a bit more, why dont you?

The real­ly insa­ne bit is - that this has been out for two years -- and no one in the west even has a clue. Becau­se cul­tu­ral­ly - this couldnt have been hap­pe­ning, right? Someo­ne would have told us… On red­dit? Face­book? The news?

I just want to let my Wes­tern friends know how serious our infor­ma­ti­on bar­ri­ers are through this video. This kind of advan­ced stuff can’t be made over­night. It takes a long time of rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment, prac­ti­ce and tes­ting. It’s not some­thing that sud­den­ly falls from the sky one day. Some­ti­mes when we are tal­king about some pro­blems, this is why the worlds we know [for] each other are com­ple­te­ly different.

Fuck.
