Оперативний ЗСУ (20:51 UTC), ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS (20:53 UTC): Report that, according to the Washington Post, European intelligence obtained a document outlining Russian demands for peace negotiations, including:
"Dismantling of the Kyiv regime."
Weakening US negotiating positions on Ukraine.
Rejecting Trump's 100-day peace plan as "unrealistic."
Peace settlement impossible before 2026.
Recognition of captured territories.
Ukraine must renounce NATO membership.
Complete change of power in Kyiv.
Buffer zone on the border with Bryansk and Belgorod Oblasts.

The DEMANDS include MAJOR CONCESSIONS from UKRAINE, including TERRITORIAL LOSSES, REGIME CHANGE, and RENUNCIATION OF NATO MEMBERSHIP.
