Only took Trump 4 months to finally criticise Putin (well, more like 40 years), now time to wait another 40 years before he actually puts action behind his words, Lol. Even still, he can't criticise Putin without also criticising Zelenskyy, an absolutely pathetic man. Always had a very good relationship with a Nazi, who didn't start slaughtering people with Ukraine, but it took until Ukraine for the world to finally do something about it.

Trump saying something has happened to him shows how utterly stupid and easily manipulated the man is, this was always Putin, he was always a Nazi scumbag, he didn't exactly hide it, but the world chose to look the other way until now. Also Trump pathetically trying to take credit for saying that he always said Putin wants all of Ukraine, bro that's what fucking most people have been saying for the past 4 fucking years now and has been blindly obvious to anyone who isn't either an idiot or a Russian puppet.

But what have you done about it? You only a few weeks ago were all "Putin wants to stop the war!" now you're "I've always said Putin wants all of Ukraine!" make up your damn mind. So now you're admitting that you know Putin wants to slaughter all of Ukraine and will still do nothing about it, so you're a coward then. Biden's war, Zelenskyy's war, everyone's war but mine so you can wash your hands and run away like a coward.

Sen. Lindsey Graham warned Russia to end the bloodshed or face “bone-crushing sanctions.” He called out China and India as enablers if they continue buying Russian oil, declared the U.S. will no longer be a bystander, and affirmed that the Senate is taking the lead.

🇳🇱 NATO is working to secure a spot for President Zelensky at the upcoming summit in The Hague, says Dutch Defense Minister Brekelmans. While Zelensky likely won’t join the main meeting of 32 NATO leaders, NATO aims to find him a place during the two-day event. The US reportedly has reservations.

Russia is overwhelming Ukraine’s air defenses with massive drone & missile attacks. On May 25, nearly 300 drones and 69 missiles targeted Ukrainian cities—a new record. If ceasefire talks fail, Ukraine may soon have to ration interceptors as more attacks get through.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Only a sense of complete impunity can allow Russia to carry out such strikes and constantly increase their scale. This does not make any significant military sense, but it does make significant political sense.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are being given more freedom of action, and if Germany supplies Ukraine with Taurus missiles, which is now considered likely — it will be the most powerful weapon in Ukraine’s arsenal, capable of striking over 500 km and reaching as far as Moscow.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Merz: A country that confronts the enemy only on its own territory does not defend itself properly.

🗣️ "Kyiv strikes military targets on Russian territory for self-defense, while Moscow deliberately attacks civilians, seeking to inflict as much damage as possible," he said

"This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, for example, by attacking military positions in Russia," the chancellor added. "Until recently, it couldn’t do that, and apart from very few exceptions, it hadn’t done so either."

Africa is by and large seeing European countries trying to help them as neocolonial tactics, and the same goes for the US. They don't consider China or Russia as colonial powers and feel like their support is untainted by colonialism, which sadly couldn't be further from the truth. But that's the reason why so many African countries don't want western support and rather help Russia or get financial or development aid from China as some think Westerners help just another way to shackle them again.

Hopefully this translated not just in Taurus becoming available to Ukraine, but an increase in shipments from Germany as a whole.

I just wish they didn't kill the site where they listed all the support from Germany to Ukraine. Instead of stopping and archiving the site they could just put a delay on the site to show what got sent a long while after it arrived instead.

🇫🇷 French President Macron believes that Trump has come to realize Putin lied to him, according to BFMTV. Macron also proposed setting a firm deadline for achieving a ceasefire, after which increased pressure should be applied to the Kremlin.

Again? Followed by doing nothing?

Deadline Number 50.

Merz has given Ukraine permission to use long range weapons supplied by European allies, but not any actual weapons.  So, ukraine moves forward by baby steps.  It's very frustrating to some, but others have to deal with the horrifying reality of russians coming in.

Pretty normal if their main cargo from abroad isn't coming in anymore due to sanctions, and their main cargo inlands, armored vehicles, isn't coming through anymore due to lack of stocks...
