Sushko is oc correct in advising 🇺🇦 to turn down a deal like this.

But this is exactly what TrumpAdmin is looking for:
a way to protect 🇷🇺 from real pressure.

In 3 days T is going to announce that US has made a breakthrough in negotiating with 🇷🇺, and now it’s up to 🇺🇦 to show a “will to peace”.

Well, now it's 43 days since I asked the vice president some simple questions👇

Still no answer.

Out of words mr @jd-vance-1.bsky.social ?

Or is the problem maybe that your words is considered misinformation?

For new followers, here's my top10 sources on the war;

Brovdi, as the commander of the ua drone forces, is one of the most effective commanders in the entire Ukrainian army.

4/

Bad news around Pokrovsk, but they are - as usual exaggerated.

3/

Positive developments in the Sumy direction..

2/

These attacks is just making things worse for Russia.
The hatred and will to resist is just growing.
Ukraine will never, ever, surrender.

1/ #Ukraine #Russia

Excerpts from Stefan Korshak's (Senior Defense Correspondent @kyivpost.com ) excellent reporting👇

The peacefull Russians continue their camapign of terror.
Missiles bearing shrapnel, hundreds of smal metal object, constructed to kill humans, not buildings....

2/

Secondly; Ukraine knows the conditions their population lives under in the occupied territories. Millions of people.
It's labeled by the UN as "crimes against humanity".
Ukraine can not give up on these people.

1/

I disagree on that.

In a negotiated solution, yes. But if Ukraine wins the war, it's possible they would regain all it's territory. A Ukrainian win could be in the form om some sort of Russian collaps.

Agreed. We just have to do what we can in our daily life...

Tomorrow we complete 180 weeks of war.
Ukraine has withstood everything Russia has thrown at it and is still standing.

It's Day 1259 and this is THE daily thread, all the news from a source you can trust.

DMs open for tip-offs #TeamTim

There’s also a large number of journalists on Bluesky who just don’t post much. I’ve been contacted multiple times by journalists who said, “You wrote on Twitter,” when they clearly meant something I had written here.

It’s impossible to return to the stability of 1989-2014, and what is happening now is much closer to a version of historical normal.

No amount of economic pressure will in itself make Putin stop the war. Preventing India from buying Russian oil will probably make the global oil prices go up and not down, btw.

Title notwithstanding, this chat with Times Radio's @hugorifkind.bsky.social is about much more, discussing my new book HOMO CRIMINALIS. Aztecs, cocaine subs, is PayPal a mafia, and more...

🇹🇷🇺🇦❗️Erdogan is constantly invited to Kyiv, but there is currently no information about such a visit, the Ukrainian ambassador to Turkey commented to Ukrainska Pravda.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: This night, the Russians struck Ukraine with ballistic missiles and almost 50 UAVs.

The world is now seeing that sanctions against Russia and secondary sanctions against all those who help it profit from oil can work if they are strong enough.

Just months ago, Alexander Dugin, Putin’s fascist “philosopher” and ideological mouthpiece, was praising Trump as a MAGA ally.
Now he says Trump’s gone neocon.
Putin isn’t just losing in Ukraine, he his losing his useful idiots too.

Hammer Drop?

So far in his precidency Trump has done nothing but help Russia, so we who support the rigthous side are very sceptical that Trump actuelly will hurt Russia for real...

Personally, I think Trump has been consistently pro-Russia for decades, and won't change. Hope I'm wrong.

A Long Range Strike Campaign For Success?

Ukraina has started a promising air camaign. This time they need to keep it going, and not let i fizzle out, like last time.

3/

The real story, is that these events demonstrates everything that Putin hates;

A strong civil society, allowed to openly protest their government (even if it's forbidden during marshall law, law enforcement where not used), and succeeding in changing the policy of their country.

Big success!

2/

Any western democracy should envy Ukraine for what they are accomplishing, even during wartime.

#US for instance, is run on politics only supported by a small minority. A large majority in congress and the population supports much stronger measures against Russia, but nothing is happening.

1/ #Russia #Trump #Putin #Europe

Excerpts from OBrien's weekly👇

Media is very biased in their coverage of #Ukraine. Everytime it's a crisis it generates big headlines, but when the Ukrainian democracy has an immense victory it's hardly covered...

That's the key question. A difficult one. My take;

1. An independent Ukraine, with an independent ability to make political decisions and alliances, without Russian coercion.

2. Ukraine preserves its democracy

3. Ukraine gains military security against a renewed Russian attack.

What U think?

The Texas Floods Were a Preview of What’s to Come Mounting evidence shows no US state is safe from the flooding that ravaged Texas’ Kerr Country.

There are historical cases, going back hundreds or thousands of years, of humans reacting quickly to climate change. And then there is the current case of humans both causing the climate change and refusing to react to it.

China has openly admitted they don't want to let ruSSia lose because it would shift U.S. and EU's attention from Ukraine onto China. They are one of few countries who welcome this aggression because it's keeping West busy. BRICS countries are sick regimes we need to fight against.
