Trump‘s decisive defeat in reference to the Epstein case will force Putin‘s hand to extract from Trump possible concessions as soon and fast as possible. Putin and his circle will most certainly fear that Trump‘s time could come to an end faster than thought. Expect this.

The situation around Kupyansk is brutal right now, a real hell on the ground. Fighting remains fluid but Ukrainian forces have managed to push back and retake several areas north and northeast of the city, slowing the Russian advance and stabilising parts of the line.
