I understand why some are cautious. After all, it's just 15 years since a pro-Russian genuinely won a free Presidential election.
But that surely can't happen for a generation now.
Ukraine brings so much to the table: experience, drone tech, manufacturing. It's madness NOT to invite them in.

Another Ukraine commander leaves his post
Lt-Gen Serhiy Naev posted that he's no longer heading the Vuhledar tactical group. "Based on the order of the General Staff, I have completed my term as commander."
Last year, when Zaluzhnyi was fired, Naev was also removed as Cmdr of Joint Forces.

Following the strike on a training ground in Dnipropetrovsk region, Ukraine's Commander of all Ground Forces has resigned.
Mykhailo Drapatiy was very popular - some will hope his offer to fall on his sword will not be accepted.

Rather humiliating for Trump again.
Two things spring to mind.
1-Trump didn't write the first one - carefully worded, correct grammar, no random caPitaLIZation.
2-China's response belittles the US president, with the undeniable meaning "We didn't do anything. He called. He capitulated. Job done."

Many media, particularly international media like Sky and the BBC are reporting 4 people died in the capital. That's what mayor Vitaliy Klychko(Klitshcko) said around 3 hours ago.
However, the local and national government both say only the 3 firefighters were killed.

Now it's only a small plane & accidents happen, but it's more common in Russia due to lack of care & sanctions restricting maintenance.
