“Ukraine is confident in its ability to wage this war, even if it would still prefer that outside support make the costs for them less human…it listens to its own counsel more & more as it finds itself beyond the edge of most Western military thinking.”

Let's speak bluntly: these talks are, as expected, a total failure.
Trump is ultimately ready to give Putin everything he was dreaming of.
Europe must arm Ukraine to the teeth and never accept an infamous sham peace that would equal a surrender, a license to kill and an expanded war.
