I am a pessimist by training but I am more optimistic about Ukraine now than I was this morning. Wish I could say this about the US. This was a horror show, but the trajectory was unsustainable and Trump, in his efforts to help Putin might have generated the pushback energy I haven't seen since 2022

All we see here is that Zelensky is not rolling over.
Pay attention.
Reason it looks “bad” is because Ze (like most Ukrainians) won’t just give up his country’s territory to aggressors & we are not used to seeing that.
Smaller countries & their leaders often give in to bullying.

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

There’s no profit in dissecting what transpired in the White House. If there was ever any ambiguity as to where the administration was headed, it is surely gone.
The only question now is whether that disambiguation makes its way to Europe before Zelensky’s plane lands in London.

It bears repeating: The only negotiations that will end the war in Ukraine are those between Ukraine and Europe.

Literally right now Russia is striking and targeting civilians infrastructure.
Moments ago reports of explosions and black outs in Odesa.
The US cannot let Russia make a fool of it. Because that is what is happening.

"During the talks, the U.S. proposed some sort of moratorium on attacks on energy facilities. We explained that we had never jeopardized the energy supply systems of the population, and our targets were only those facilities that directly serve the Ukrainian Armed Forces." - Lie-vrov
