Putin’s “land swap” is really a grab for Ukraine’s fortress belt
He wants Trump to secure for him what Russia’s army cannot

And Budapest has a special and reassuring flavour for the Ukrainians
Trump is considering Budapest for talks between Zelenskyy and Putin.

I’m not sure Orban can be trusted which is no doubt why Trump suggested it.

@camillegrand.bsky.social in @nytimes.com is spot on wrt European troops as security guarantees to 🇺🇦: "Moscow’s reluctance or willingness to accept such guarantees “will be a test of its good faith.” Still, Mr. Grand said, “what worries me is who in Europe is willing to do something.”

One thing we didn’t hear from the Europeans though is the threat of more pressure on Russia if there’s no ceasefire or a deal. They explicitly mentioned such option in their post-Alaska statement on Saturday — yet no one mentioned it during the press mtg w/ Trump.
US-Ukraine-European leaders' mtg is still ongoing, so any outcomes TBC. But Kyiv & EU already sent a clear message to both Trump & Russia: #Ukraine is not alone and Europe is serious about own responsibility for how the war ends & how security in #Europe is ensured.

Trump blaming the victim, as usual. How about “President Putin of Russia can end the war with Ukraine almost immediately if he wants to”? Unlike Trump, some of us do remember how the war started - with Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea & his acts of aggression in the Donbas.
Absolutely any war can always be ended "almost instantly" if you want - for this it is enough to simply capitulate. In fact, Trump directly accuses Ukraine of not capitulating.

For tomorrow:

US population: 340 million
EU Pop. 450 M
EU+UK+UKR 565 M
Russia 143M

US GDP 29 Trillion
EU GDP 20 T
EU + UK 24 T
Russia 2.2 T

What does neither the US nor Europe get?

Trump thinks Russia is the only other superpower.

Europe thinks it’s not a superpower.

So, apparently a new Ukrainian cruise missile has entered the chat.

3,000+ km range, 1,000 kg payload capacity. That's the long-range, heavy-hitter Ukraine has been waiting for.

The fact that this leaked today is unlikely to be a coincidence.

@sbg1.bsky.social nails it in The New Yorker
Did you listen to Trump blather on about the ‘rigged election,’ and Biden, and tariffs, and mail-in ballots? Even he knew he bombed with Putin…
