The so-called peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia will fail. It is inevitable. Putin‘s objective - the destruction of Ukraine (and the USA) - will never stop for as long he draws breath. He crossed the point of no return a long time ago.

In the sleaziest way possible, Trump just defended a foreign dictator for his personal benefit. Never forget Jamal Khashoggi!

Details on the change in the law.
There is now confirmation that reservists are being activated even in Moscow - something Putin could not legally do before because Russia is conducting a "Special Military Operation," not fighting a formal war.

Warning: The Kremlin is Preparing to Mobilize Reservists on a Rolling Basis to Fight in Ukraine for the First Time
Russia may mobilize active reservists gradually to sustain its war in Ukraine but is unlikely to launch a large-scale call-up.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Rutte yelled at Estonian PM for calling an Article 4 MEETING when Russian MiG-31s flew in.
Estonia doesn't have an air force.
"Rutte argued that if Article 4 were invoked every time Russia violated sovereignty...it would quickly lose impact."
And RT shared this

This a long overdue step Europe needs to finally take without looking back at what NATO decides. We need a European defence system that will protect EU from all kinds of whack coming from East, West or South.
Air Protection Zone over Ukraine enforced by European fighter aircraft will be discussed at the emergency EUROPEAN UNION summit in Copenhagen.
Europeans finally decided to act because they know NATO is dead.
Hope the wait was worth hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians.

One of the destroyed streets of Kyiv today. The search for people trapped under the rubble in their own homes continues. The russians are simply monsters. This inhuman cruelty inflicted on the peaceful citizens of Ukraine!

This map shows the paths of attacks from yesterday's night. And while Russia sends drones into the EU, we let hundreds of Russian ships sail unobstructed through the Baltic Sea and the English Channel. It is time for responses that mean more than words.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

This is the most cringeworthy material I've probably seen. Steve Witkoff couldn't probably name other Nobel prize winner except maybe Obama. And the applause at the end - a true North Korean moment for the US Government. All this amidst a genocide in Gaza for which Trump is co-responsible.

Reporter: Have you spoke to Vladimir Putin about the fact that a big US factory was hit in an airstrike in Ukraine? What’s your reaction to that?
