For those who wonder. It was not Syrsky, it was Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi who came up, planned and executed the Kupyansk operation.

Just saying.

For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking.

Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reports from Kupyansk, where Ukrainian forces conducted successful counterattacks. Nevertheless, it is quite a move.

Unlike Putin, who is afraid to come himself to Kupyansk and sent journalists instead, Zelenskyy did not offer to send journalists to Kupyansk. He came personally. Zelenskyy has balls. Respect.
❗️Putin a month ago claimed that Russian troops had captured the city of Kupyansk.

One must simply compare economy today to economy a year ago. Which parts of the economy got better? Can anyone name one? And how it relates to Trump's policies and actions?

This is easy to do and relate to.

Yes, Moscow regime should leave police in the occupied territory and Ukraine will leave Ukrainian police in free Donetsk oblast. The first sign of cracks in Moscow regime position.
🤨"It is possible that there will be neither the Russian nor the Ukrainian army in Donbas, but there will be the 🇷🇺Rosgvardia [National Guard] and 🇷🇺police. A demilitarized zone may be created there," — Putin's aide Ushakov

This is great. Take it out. Slava ZSU.
Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Slavneft-Yanos oil refinery in Yaroslavl overnight, one of the country’s largest, processing over 15M tons of oil annually.

The strike triggered multiple explosions and a major fire. FSB has cordoned off the site, while traffic in Yaroslavl hit a near standstill.

At the moment it is clear that an explosion occurred at the Orsk Mechanical Plant, which produces components for Russia’s military-industrial complex. The cause is unknown, but one can guess.

The Kremlin likes to exercise rhetorical dominance over Trump and they say this in the safe knowledge that we won’t invade or that if we do it will be a disaster. Trump might think of Putin as a friend but that’s not how Russia sees the US. The US is to be humiliated, fragmented, and weakened.
I’m totally lost. I thought we were invading Venezuela. And now allies with Russia. So the friend of my “friend”
is…?
"The Russian President expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people and confirmed his support for [the Maduro] government's course in defense of the country's sovereignty."

US is fully promoting Moscow regime world view. The problem for US is that there is no real place for US in that world view and Moscow regime was always open about it.
During a tense phone call with the leaders of Germany, France, and the UK, Trump repeated his criticism of Zelenskyy for failing to respond adequately to the previous US proposal and made it clear he has no intention of revising it.

▪️ Donbas - the Russians want it all, we do not accept this. And the Americans are looking for some format.
▪️The peace plan – the version we handed over to the US yesterday – is not the final plan. It is a set of documents, and many have not yet been finalized.
