2025-11-25 | DAILY UPDATES #065 | As we record, U.S. and Ukrainian delegations are in Geneva working on an “updated” or “refined” version of the plan – with Marco Rubio talking about “tremendous progress” and Ukrainian officials quietly insisting that their red lines are being taken on board. All of this shows weakness, tremendous weakness and delusion. It signals to Moscow that we are divided, disorganised, lack any sense of a common outcome, and that we do not have the will to support our partner Ukraine for survival let alone victory. They are the ones fighting with extraordinary tenacity and innovation, yet apparently, it’s us who are exhausted. In this episode we will look at the two numbers that explain everything, and topics associated with them that would crush Moscow, if systematically adopted by America and Europe. Spoilers, they won’t, and Russian cognitive warfare plays a big role in why this won’t happen. It's the weakness of Trump’s political position, and Putin’s economy that define why this barrage of fake diplomacy has broken out now, and why it’s so irrationally ferocious. ----------SOURCES: Axioshttps://www.axios.com/2025/11/20/trump-ukraine-peace-plan-28-points-russiaReutershttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/draft-us-backed-peace-proposal-ukraine-2025-11-21/Reutershttps://www.reuters.com/business/finance/full-text-european-counter-proposal-us-ukraine-peace-plan-2025-11-23/AP Newshttps://apnews.com/article/1f22a02dda9adff079383370ee69f95cThe Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/22/zelenskyy-approves-bill-weakening-anti-corruption-bodies-despite-big-protestsAP Newshttps://apnews.com/article/6766134c963f0423d88c2ac1749f8c11----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
