## Resource

The Duran: Episode 2545 Putin has dramatically shifted his tone, declaring that negotiations with Ukraine are over and signaling Russia is focused entirely on military victory. Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou break down Putin's Russia Day speech, his 2030 reconstruction timeline for Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson, and what it means for Trump, NATO and the upcoming G7 summit with Zelensky.
