Utterly predictably, Putin rejects the unconditional ceasefire offered by Ukraine, sends Trump off on the errands of making the Russian invasion easier and denying Ukrainian sovereignty, while Trump claims he has accomplished something.

Russia’s leaders have said nothing about peace. They have made a list of demands on the US, the fulfillment of which allows them to broaden the war against Ukraine. And the US simply fulfills all of these Russian demands without question. That is only a peace process in the Orwellian sense.

The talk in Europe is “how to get a seat at the table.” Respectfully, that’s the wrong question. The right question is, “how can Europe build a new table.”

Key points and statements from President Zelenskyy's interview to Fox News:

◾️Ukrainians want peace more than anyone.
◾️Ukrainians need peace through strength, with security guarantees, not just a ceasefire that Putin will violate like he already has done with numerous earlier ceasefires.

Fox News host Jesse Watters, commenting on the Trump-Zelensky dispute, said, "We run the world. This is an American world, and he’s our proxy. It will all end when we decide." So, who's the dictator now?

Avdiivka, ruined by Russian nazis. Footage from a Russian channel. The nazis got what they wanted. Destruction spreads across the land like a disease, like leprosy, wherever the Russian foot steps.

Putin’s only hope is that Europe stays in a self-induced coma, unable to seize frozen assets, unable to manufacture weapons, unable to move troops in any significant numbers. Unable to defend the values that were chosen for very good reasons.🧵14/17

And so the only hope for Europe is Europe itself. But Europe was never designed to move fast or break things. Europe was designed to be slow, calm, and never again able to fight against itself.🧵13/17

Ok folks, deep breaths.

There is very real reason to worry about the dynamic emerging between Washington and Moscow when it comes to Ukraine. But there is also very real reason to believe that Ukraine and Europe can create a better outcome.

1/ Russia is systematically sending badly wounded men back into combat, often denying them medical treatment. Previously, men were allowed to recuperate or leave the army if seriously injured; now, death appears to be the only way out for many. ⬇️

When the rules of the democratic game become bitterly contested, this doesn’t mean your democracy is going to collapse. It can feel terrifying if you are used to stabler times, but democracies have faced crises throughout history, and survived.

Yet until recently, crucial sacred texts — including the Torah — have never been translated into Ukrainian.

Russian sources report on AFU advances in the Kursk bridgehead toward Fanaseyevka. The AFU has gained a foothold in Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Fanaseyevka, unlike in past attacks. Russian forces struggle to hold ground due to weak entrenchment and premature success reports.
