Geopolitics: German foreign intelligence says Kremlin since Germany as an adversary

German foreign intelligence service says:

• Kremlin sees Germany as an adversary
• Says Germany is in direct confrontation with Moscow
• Russia has started to use “kinetic” measures against the West including acts of sabotage against infrastructure
• Expects further escalation of the situation

Earlier today, it was reported that Trump would pick Keith Kellogg as the envoy to end the war with Russia.

Here’s a recent article where he lays out how he would end it.

• Continue arming Ukraine while pursuing formal ceasefire negotiations, with aid conditional on Ukraine agreeing to peace talks
• Delay Ukraine’s NATO membership in exchange for security guarantees and a verifiable deal with Russia
• Ukraine keeps its claim to all territories but agrees to pursue diplomatic means for recovery, acknowledging it may take significant time
• Use partial sanctions relief on Russia as incentive for peace steps; implement levies on Russian energy to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction
• Seek an interlocutor trusted by both sides (suggests Trump could fill this role) for negotiations, noting Biden’s limited engagement with Putin
• Provide Ukraine with bilateral security agreement ratified by Senate, similar to arrangements with Korea and Taiwan
• Continue military support even after negotiations to prevent Russian aggression, while rejecting Russian demands for Ukrainian demilitarization
