Good morning on Day 1374 of Ukraine's brave resistance against its bullying neighbour, although it's almost 12 years since Russia's initial invasion and breaking international law.

This is THE daily thread with all the news, all the time, in a handy thread, updated all day long.

New good episode from Jay👇

Wondering how the economy is doing in USSR 2.0 aka today's Russia? Well, the Russian economy is in a collapse that will probably be worse than in the 90s.

Trump is the only thing that can save Putin now.

How is it that we already know so much about the guy who shot 2 national guardsmen this afternoon but we know pretty much nothing about the two guys who tried to assassinate the president months ago?

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

A BBC project about volunteers in Ukraine has scooped an International Emmy.

"Hell Jumper" won best documentary for its first-person storytelling on the ground in Ukraine, focusing on Briton Chris Parry, who was murdered in January 2023.

It's a tragic, but stunning, film.

Hello again on Day 1372 of Russia's illegal invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

We've been here before - some believing we are just days away from ending the fighting

Well at best it will be a pause before restarting and each time Russia gets worse.
But let's see what happens..

True. But this theater is getting tiresome, and I am not sure it's working for Europe. Perhaps it's time to make it clear to Trump that there are no negotiations instead of leading him to think that there are—and in the process fooling a lot of Europeans into believing that peace is close.
What folks need to realize about "peace talks" is that this is all theater for Washington. Ukraine knows that Russia has no intention of stopping the war, and the Russians know the Ukrainians know that. So this is just all a performance for Trump, hoping he blames the other for the lack of peace.

For 10 years now, Europe has reacted to every new Trump absurdity with the same response: outrage, handwringing, paralysis. We need to stop staring at the American car crash and finally start driving.
Trump serves only himself. Europe must act for itself.👇

A great article in @foreignaffairs.com about the "toothless" Trump sanctions on Russian oil, that people have been getting wrong. China is still buying lots of oil, and without secondary sanctions, this will protect Moscow

Ukraine should accept no limits on its sovereignty that have not been accepted by other European countries. If it’s forced to do that, it will be accepting second class citizenship in Europe and the principle that Russia can treat it as a state with inferior rights

We are in a bizarre moment of diplomatic history. The purported "peace plan" that appeared a few days ago begins in Russian unreality and American weakness. Demanding everything of Ukraine and nothing of Russia, its purpose is imperialism and profiteering.
