  1. President Trump mentioned possible Ukrainian strikes on Moscow to President Zelensky before he approved US arms supplies, but he was “not encouraging further killing”, the White House has said.

    His spokeswoman was responding to media reports that he had asked Zelensky why Kyiv’s forces had not hit Moscow and St Petersburg, Russia’s biggest and richest cities.

    “Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? Can you hit St Petersburg too?” Trump had asked, according to the Financial Times, which cited sources familiar with the call. “Absolutely. We can if you give us the weapons,” Zelensky replied

  2. Ending the war in a day is going well…

    Now here is the tough question, does any of this help Ukraine to the point of making possible for them to win or are we hoping to force a pyrrhic victory for Russia. How long can Ukraine actually hold out here

  3. Trump’s negotiations have gone nowhere and he’s done a 180 since the Oval Office incident. Unfortunately Russia may become emboldened to escalate over the coming months. The 50 day deadline may do harm than good.
