Trump is “frustrated” with Putin for negotiating in bad faith (like he always has)?
But Trump’s Russia-friendly shifts are a reason why Putin thinks he can get it all. A real peace deal isn’t reality TV, it needs enough pressure to change Putin’s calculus.
Given Trump’s record, that’s a hard sell.

“A senior practitioner at a Kherson hospital is quoted in the report:
“Russian Federation soldiers behave like this is a safari […]; they are simply chasing and hunting civilians who are on their way to work or walking their dogs. They drop explosives from drones like it is a video game.”

Is Putin personally behind the war crimes in Kherson?
A Russian military channel hints he is.
