President Biden said he’s stunned by how much damage President Trump has managed to cause in just one year calling it “a special kind of talent.” He added that Trump keeps talking about America’s “golden days,” but the only thing golden is the décor he hung over the fireplace!!

Witkoff will have to explain to Putin why the whole 28-point capitulation plan favoring Russia fell apart.

Vovchansk, now barely more than rubble. Russia has tried to capture the city for 565 days, even filming propaganda clips claiming victory and raising flags. But the 57th Brigade and supporting units are still holding the line.

Russia may have just lost its only active launch pad for manned space missions. After today’s launch of Soyuz MS-28 from Baikonur, which sent three crew members to the ISS, the service platform at Launch Pad 31 appears to have been severely damaged by rocket exhaust.

U.S. Army Sec. Driscoll warned EU diplomats that Russia is stockpiling long-range missiles, using it as leverage to push Trump’s peace plan.
He claimed the growing arsenal could soon overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses. Critics say this flips U.S. policy on its head, pressuring the victim to settle.
