When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).

✈️ Zelensky explained the bet on Swedish Gripen fighters:
"If you look strategically at the air fleet, we see three platforms - Gripen, F and Rafale. It's a question of funds, maneuver, how to use it. We understand who we are fighting, and Gripen is one of the best in the world," he said.

The world once vowed Never Again, but in Ukraine, from Mariupol to Bucha, it’s happening again and again.

Without tangible policy shifts, real changes in aid, or the enforcement of sanctions, it’s nothing more than talk - a position that could shift tomorrow or next month again, after Putin’s next call or another “strategic” visit from Witkoff. What matters are actions, not words.

This a Russian warplane falling down after being shot down after breaching Turkey air space for 17 seconds and after it was ‘warned 10 times over the space of 5 min via an "emergency" channel and asked to change direction’ Turkey officials said then back in 2015.
