All of Eastern Europe should make it a national holiday when this little ghoul leaves power. Threatening his neighbors because he wants attention and to feel powerful
“U.S. supplies of anti-tank missiles and ammunition, British help for Ukraine’s Navy, and Turkish sales of strike drones to Ukraine have all irked the Kremlin.
“Russia’s red lines have shifted: it is no longer Ukraine in NATO that is a red line, but NATO in Ukraine that is a new red line,” Frolov said.

It’s wrong/dangerous dismissing this as a temporary bluff to get the summit. Yes, the Kremlin wants a summit, but it wants it as a forum to negotiate their actual goals.
