/ 2026 / … Putin Ignores EU Demand For Russian Surrender; Russia Confirms Kiev Troops Surrounded; Iran US War.
2026 Topic 1925 The Iran ceasefire is collapsing: Alexander Mercouris reports from Russia as the United States resumes missile strikes following the alleged Iranian shootdown of a US Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz, with oil prices surging and the risk of all out conflict growing by the hour. Mercouris finds an economy that sanctions have failed to break, while on the front lines in Ukraine, Russian forces have encircled a Ukrainian battalion in Konstantinovka using the same methodical cauldron tactics that delivered Pokrovsk and Mirnograd. The Duran breaks down why the European ceasefire proposal amounts to a Russian capitulation demand that Moscow has already flatly rejected, and asks: how much longer can the collective West sustain these illusions before the cost becomes catastrophic?
