"The ceasefire should not be just for a few days, only to return to killing afterward. It must be immediate, full, and unconditional."

Zelenskyy argues that Putin's proposal to cease fire on Victory Day celebration in May is a manipulative move "just to provide Putin with silence for his parade."

Incredible scoop! Career officials inside the Trump administration first viewed the case of Mr. Abrego like any normal case of a wrongful deportation — they began looking for ways to bring him back, as happens normally when ICE makes mistakes.

Then the White House got involved, and blew it up.
Late last month, three days after Abrego Garcia’s family filed its lawsuit over his deportation, government attorneys began discussing how to undo the mistake and bring him back. In their conversations, officials went so far as to float the idea of having the U.S. ambassador to El Salvador make a personal appeal to the country’s president for Abrego Garcia’s return. But first, the State Department’s legal team wanted more information from DHS about his alleged role in the MS-13 gang. The thin evidence supplied in response was met with skepticism from the State Department lawyers. Abrego Garcia, who came to the United States illegally when he was 16 years old, was one of 23 Salvadorans deported on March 15. But his name had not appeared on an internal list of 10 gang members sought by President Nayib Bukele. Attorneys at DHS had other concerns. They were aware that, six years ago, a judge had granted Abrego Garcia protected status over fears that he could be targeted for violence should he be returned to El Salvador. That protection was still in effect and had been violated by the March 15 deportation. They wanted to know if U.S. diplomats could ask the Salvadoran government to keep him separated from Barrio 18 gang members who had threatened him in the past and might harm him.

Europe needs to understand that the way Trump is treating Ukraine over the new mineral deal (trying to rob them blind but give Ukr no security) is how he will deal with Europe as a whole if he sees them as weak. The only way to deal with Trump is defiance--not bridge building.

Military aid was always going to stop. Once you understand this everything else makes sense.

The Americans(trump) wanted three things to happen asap. Like right now. He’s said it this morning.

1. Mineral deal
2. Ceasefire
3. Stopping arms deliveries

Removing Zelensky is a primary objective of Putin. I need say no more.

The truth emerges. Regime change.

A US official tells CNN: “Relations with Ukraine look irreparable if Zelensky remains president.”

My bet: There wont be any peace agreement in Ukraine during 2025. Ukraine will not accept one without security guarantees and Russia will not accept one with security guarantees. Peace will come only after Russia lose either on the battlefield or when their home front cracks wide open.
