🇺🇸❗️🇺🇦 Trump “understands that if he were to throw under Ukraine under the bus and Russia were to secure Ukraine’s capitulation, that’s a resounding political defeat for Trump,” said C. Kupchan, senior fellow at Council on Foreign Relations.

Zelensky after Russia’s overnight attack:

"Almost 300 Shahed drones and 70 missiles hit Ukrainian cities—Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Odesa, Khmelnytskyi, and more. Homes, dorms, businesses destroyed. Children killed.

Every strike is reason for tougher sanctions. Silence only encourages Putin."

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump’s Pastor Murk Burns:

The ongoing attacks on Kyiv by Russian forces represent a blatant violation of international law and constitute war crimes, as they deliberately target civilian areas and infrastructure.

The world may take a weekend, but the war continues, regardless of weekends or weekdays. This cannot be ignored. The silence of America, the silence of others in the world, only emboldens Putin, — Zelenskyy

The Washington Post reports Russia’s military power in Ukraine is declining, with 1,500 daily casualties and Soviet tank reserves nearly exhausted. Trump is easing pressure on Putin despite Moscow’s weakening position.

Experts warn Russia may launch a final major offensive this summer, as its capacity for sustained attacks diminishes. Ukrainian defenses hold, but both sides face a stalemate with long-range strikes dominating.

🇮🇹 Italy’s FM Antonio Tajani: “The war in Ukraine won’t end this year. Russia has shifted its industry to arms production, pays soldiers double that of workers, and has a million troops on the battlefield. Pressure on Putin must double — Russia must abandon the path of war.”

🇷🇺 In Tver Oblast, Russian air defenses mistakenly identified their own aircraft as a large Ukrainian kamikaze drone — and opened fire. This is not the first such incident: similar friendly fire occurred recently in the Moscow region.

🇺🇦 FM Sybiiha after Russia’s massive overnight airstrike:

“When the world calls to stop the killings, Putin orders more strikes — killing even more children.”

He urged global pressure on Russia to agree to a full, unconditional ceasefire.

Overnight Russia’s mass strike hit Kyiv, Kyiv region, Zhytomyr, Ternopil, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi & Chernihiv—claiming 12 lives (including 3 children in Zhytomyr) and wounding 44. Homes, schools, malls and infrastructure were damaged across the country.

I think that the assessment is accurate. Trump's isolationism and refusal to provide additional aid or even sell weapons, while offering concessions to Putin have reinforced Putin's belief that he's on the right path. Rather than hastening the war's end, Trump prolonged it.

🇺🇸 Trump tried to take credit for Ukraine’s biggest POW swap — before it even began, Politico reports.

Kyiv had kept the operation secret for safety. “Then Trump woke up in Washington,” said one official. Fortunately, his post didn’t derail the delicate exchange.

🇬🇧 UK Foreign Secretary on Russia’s latest attack: “These are not the actions of a country seeking peace.”

🇺🇸 US Intelligence: Putin remains committed to victory in Ukraine. A new assessment says Moscow is betting on a war of attrition—aiming to wear down Ukraine’s resistance, demoralize its population, and wait out Western support. Despite slow advances, Russia likely sees the pace as acceptable.

Sky News: Russia has moved up to 50,000 troops near Kharkiv, including elite VDV. A possible offensive may target Kharkiv, Sumy, or 2022-liberated areas. Analysts say Moscow has a 4-month window before weather worsens and old Soviet gear runs out.

I've been watching Ransom lately (old series) and came upon an episode about Ukraine (S2 Ep5)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7948354/?ref_=tt_ov_ep_nx

Ukrainian terrorists (from annexed Crimea) wanting revenge on Russia. The show made it kinda clear Russia were the good guys or rather don't attack Russia...

Pro Russian propaganda in 2018?

When did American TV switch from Russian bad to Russian good. (Arabs have become the default bad guys since 2001)

Games and Hollywood propaganda do a lot to shape public opinion :/



EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says the world must exert the "strongest pressure" on Russia after last night's mass missile attack on Ukraine, which killed and injured civilians, including children.

Must, should, could, might, consider....

Empty words mean nothing without real action.

Yeah, I'm sure tweeting "ceasefire now" will surely work this time, the 50th time tweeting it.

Meanwhile Trump just posts a golf "joke"

What a weak and spineless country. Comes as no surprise though, same Republicans who after the 500th child has been shot in the face in an American school does absolutely nothing about it except tweeting "thoughts and prayers" to the God half of them don't even truly believe in based on a bible none of them have actually read.
