Would require a Ukrainian withdrawal from Donetsk and Luhansk but no equivalent Russian withdrawal from Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. And no security guarantee for Ukraine. Or any indication Russia would refrain from fighting again once it gobbled up more territory. This isn’t a

Don’t see Ukraine or Europe going for these terms. Russia likely angling to recast Kyiv and Brussels as the true obstacles to peace in Trump’s eyes. Whoever stands in the way of his Nobel is the baddie.
Washington and Moscow are aiming to reach a deal to halt the war in Ukraine that would lock in Russia’s occupation of territory seized during its military invasion

Humiliation follows humiliation. You almost have to admire it until you realise we invite it….
Scoop: Putin gave President Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff an award to pass along to a senior CIA official whose son was killed in Ukraine while fighting alongside Russian forces, sources told @CBSNews. The gesture by Putin, known for mind games and attempts to expose.

Yesterday it was announced that Finitiv, a tech company repped by Marc Kasowitz, Trump's personal attorney, is suing Apple for "racketeering activity, including wire fraud and trade secret misappropriation."

Witkoff will claim this is a small price to pay for his kid’s crypto farm in Siberia.
The Russian occupation administration in Luhansk launched an online 'catalog' of abducted Ukrainian children, Mykola Kuleba, founder of the Save Ukraine charity organization, said. Each kid, who can be chosen by Russian families, has their own photo (faces not blurred) and

Putin meeting Zelensky legitimates Zelensky as a sovereign leader of Ukraine, which is anathema to Putin. Putin meeting Trump is Helsinki 2: Electric Boogaloo, and this time Fiona Hill gets to tear her hair out from the sidelines of Durham. Time for Europe to set conditions.
