AFU “In total, 155 combat clashes were recorded during the past day. Yesterday, the adversary conducted 90 airstrikes on the positions of Ukrainian units and settlements, dropping 139 KAB bombs and deploying 2506 kamikaze drones. The enemy also carried out 5771 artillery shelling, including 145 from rocket systems of volley fire.”
“Den ryska energijätten Gazprom lider av en förlust på 13,1 miljarder dollar år 2024.
Gazproms ekonomiska problem förvärrades av fallande aktiepriser i dess dotterbolag Gazprom Neft och en ökad inkomstskattesats på 25%, vilket ökade de uppskjutna skatteskulderna.”

Sources: Trump considering recognizing Crimea as Russian
The White House is considering recognizing the annexed Ukrainian Crimean Peninsula as Russian territory as part of efforts to end the war, two sources told the news site Semafor.
According to the same information, Donald Trump’s administration has discussed the possibility of trying to urge the UN to do the same.
How can a country on the other side of the world, with a leader who is a bully, decide that Crimea no longer belongs to Ukraine? I don’t understand.
Do anything for a deal and to get the Nobel Peace Prize. Admit anything as Russian. Doesn’t care the least about Ukraine, consequences, or human fates. Maximum middle school level in many respects (apologies to all middle school children).
It feels like the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sobered up a bit in recent years, so I think it’s unlikely that Trump would receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump is trying to achieve peace no matter the cost for Ukraine, the most important thing for him is to find a solution that Putin is satisfied with. Once he reaches that point, he will do everything he can to pressure Ukraine to agree to what the two have agreed upon.
He is probably convinced that he can succeed because he listens too much to Russian propaganda and believes that Ukraine is in such a difficult position that they will agree to it.
But Ukraine will never accept that, right? Or will they eventually have to give in?
That big European support behind Ukraine, it has been quiet since the meetings at 10 Downing Street, or am I mistaken, are there efforts underway among European governments in secret to take over the role of the United States as a pillar of support?
I believe Trump will fail, he probably underestimates both Ukraine’s resistance as well as Europe’s support just as you mentioned.
I think the interesting part will be what he will do next.
Will he threaten Europe, for example with even higher tariffs, to stop the use of American weapons, etc.? Will he perhaps go so far as to even threaten measures that directly benefit Russia, such as lifting sanctions, repaying frozen funds, starting to import minerals and cheap oil, etc.
Trump also misjudges Putin and Russia, so he could also be caught with his pants down in a flash and understand nothing
Believe as you do there. I suspect that Trump primarily sees it as a business deal that will benefit both the US and Russia economically, while Putin has completely different ambitions. Additionally, Putin must succeed in selling a deal to the population if he is to remain in power.
Through his propaganda, Putin has managed to turn many into stubborn patriots who want to see all of Ukraine wiped out and who also view the US as the biggest enemy (Ukraine and Europe are just puppets controlled by the US). He risks turning them against him, many are already furious, and so far they are still drumming out that Russia will not back down and the threats of using nuclear weapons are being repeated once again. Russia is still trying to appear strong and unwilling to give up. Putin would, on the contrary, need to change the propaganda if he is to agree to something that does not look like a total win for Russia, but then he needs time and actually feel properly pressured to do so.
I’m pretty sure that Putin’s demands for a peace agreement will initially be far too distant from what Ukraine might consider accepting. He will let Trump put even more pressure on Ukraine before even considering an agreement that doesn’t involve Russia keeping Crimea, the four oblasts, Ukraine not joining NATO or the EU, and absolutely no foreign forces in Ukraine.
The flattery from Trump invites in order to be able to turn the propaganda, for example, the Russian propaganda has spoken about RU and USA forming a military alliance. Therefore, I don’t think theories about RU having leverage on Trump are needed (which you didn’t write, more of a general observation).
Lands there too. Unfortunately, it may work if Europe gives in, but it probably just leads to the war being prolonged and opens up for China.
Nja Trump wants to get rid of this, as he sees it, shitshow over in Eastern Europe so that the USA can focus on other things. Like China and the Pacific region. I’m tired of the talk about Putin having Trump in his pocket and similar.
Now you read too much into my post. It has nothing at all to do with whether Putin would have him in his pocket or not.
If we start from your reasoning, that it is China that he sees as his real enemy and therefore quickly wants to end the war, he can still argue that the easiest way to reach peace is to first reach an agreement that Putin is satisfied with and then force Ukraine to accept it. Trump himself has said that he sees Ukraine as the weak party and he has admitted that the statement in the White House was to force Zelensky to give in. It is obvious that he doesn’t care about Ukraine (which we should be able to agree on) and why then take a much harder fight trying to persuade a much stronger Russia (as he sees it) if instead he lets them have what they want?
If he demands things from Russia and tries to force Putin to agree to something he doesn’t want, Trump will need to threaten with weapon deliveries and full support to Ukraine, which would further prolong the war.
As I said, it has nothing to do with whether he is friends with Putin or not.
Assuming Putin has promised Trump can build a hotel there. Trump also rambled about power plants, I assume he’s referring to the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzia, so he will probably acknowledge that as Russian as well. Probably Donetsk and Luhansk too, because Putin has promised “raw earth” to Trump.
Regarding Crimea, I must admit I am a bit torn, sure it belongs to Ukraine, and should remain so, but at the same time the occupation is something we in the West allowed to happen in 2014, then they built that damn bridge, also without us reacting. Looking at the population, in 2001 according to Wikipedia it was 77% Russian-speaking and 10.1% Ukrainian-speaking, I assume the latter are significantly fewer now.
Yes, Crimea should belong to Ukraine, but if they are forced to give away land, I think Crimea would be a first option, in addition, it should be a demilitarized zone, so get rid of the naval base in Sevastopol.
One must remember that there are plenty of natural resources in the form of oil and gas around Crimea, something that Russia does not need but which Ukraine would benefit from (and Europe, which of course prefers to import from Ukraine). Additionally, it is a popular tourist destination that also generates income.
I truly hope that Ukraine can regain Crimea, but if it does not happen, I absolutely agree that it should become a demilitarized zone.
Assets that are important both for developing UA and for securing Europe’s gas supply.
Yes, I got curious and looked around a bit, it seems like energy was one of the reasons they invaded Crimea, as Ukraine wanted to reduce its dependence on Russian gas. There are also large reserves of shale gas in Kherson and Kharkiv, according to this NATO article from 2014.
https://www.nato.int/docu/review/articles/2014/05/27/the-energy-dimensions-of-russias-annexation-of-crimea/index.html
Obama didn’t want to send military support to Ukraine after Russia’s annexation of Crimea, as it could escalate the situation. Wasn’t the support from Europe not much greater?
And there we probably have the reason why Ukraine hasn’t lowered the bridge, it was never intended for them to get Crimea back.
Expected –
Question, is this part of his 5D chess that is supposed to make the world better?
It is a part of his grandiose plan (which us ordinary mortals do not understand) aimed at weakening China!
Now we’ll see how it plays out, but if the USA recognizes occupied land as Russian, it’s unlikely to appease either Moscow or Beijing. So if the plan is to clean up the war and focus on China, I wonder how they expect that to happen. Instead, Russia and China see that the USA is weak and that invasion pays off.
Unlike many others here, I don’t believe that it has much to do with China right now (even though China is of course the biggest enemy of the US) and it could very well turn out as you write, that both Russia and China feel that the US is no longer a power to be feared if he agrees to all demands and instead pressures Ukraine.
If Ukraine doesn’t give in and Europe continues to stand by its support, it could actually backfire so that the US turns against Russia instead, just to not appear weak.
It simply must be better for the US to stay friends with Europe rather than Russia, and towards Putin he can excuse himself by saying that he actually tried as far as possible before running him over with the bus.
But now I’m probably just daydreaming. 😄
A bit jerky with the knees now, jerky behavior.
“Trump: Parts of the agreement with Russia are already clear
Ahead of today’s talks with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump says that many parts of the final peace agreement in Ukraine are already clear. This is reported by TT.”
“Hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers will return home at the same time if peace is reached in Ukraine, and many will drink or take drugs. This is according to official sources to the Russian independent Faridaily led by journalist Farida Rustamova. – The first year will be a year of binge drinking, says an official at the Ministry of Employment.”
Just as well to send them to another front so that there can be a little peace and quiet…
“Colombia denies that the USA is trying to prevent a possible purchase of Swedish fighter jets by vetoing an American engine component in the Jas Gripen. Pedro Sánchez also denies allegations of corruption, where the USA, according to several media reports, has been said to have threatened Colombia with legal action.
– It is false that Saab has bribed us to sell Gripen planes. It is more likely that Hitler is alive here in Colombia than that any of these companies succeed in bribing us, says Sánchez to the radio.”
That the USA would oppose exports was denied by SAAB early on, unfortunately an article in an obscure Spanish-language newspaper that was swallowed whole by the Swedish media remains in some circles.

“The MMA fighter convicted of rape became Trump’s Irish visit”
“The Irish former MMA champion Conor McGregor, who was recently found guilty of rape, visited the White House on the country’s national day, Saint Patrick’s Day.”

“At night, the 🇺🇦Ukrainian military shot down 63/137 🇷🇺Russian UAVs, another 64 UAVs were lost in location due to EW action”
A bit off-topic but still interesting. Trump first threatened and then attacked the Houthi rebels (apparently resulting in many civilian deaths) and when that didn’t help, he is now threatening Iran and holding them accountable.
“US President Donald Trump writes on Truth Social that the Houthi militia is completely controlled by Iran and that the country will be held responsible if the ship attacks continue.”
“All shots fired by the Houthis will from now on be seen as fired by weapons and under IRAN’s leadership, and IRAN will be held accountable, and will face the consequences, and the consequences will be dire!”, Trump writes on Truth Social.”

The threat does not seem to have been taken seriously, so now we’ll see how Trump responds.
“Houthi rebels: New attacks against US military

https://omni.se/kallor-trump-gav-gront-ljus-for-attackerna/a/vg1P0p
Netanyahu succeeded in his intention when he chose to break the ceasefire and attack Gaza, now he will remain safe for a while longer.
“The Israeli far-right party, Otzma Yehudit, says they are returning to the government, write the government parties in a joint statement. Former Minister of Security Itamar Ben-Gvir and his party chose to leave Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in protest against the ceasefire coming into effect in January.”
“Israeli attacks on Gaza continue
The Israeli military, IDF, reports that they continue to strike Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip, Reuters reports. The extent of the attacks is not known.
During the night towards Tuesday, over 400 people died in Gaza in the largest Israeli attack on the strip since the ceasefire came into effect on January 19.”
“USA believes that Hamas chose war by refusing to release the Israeli hostages.”
“Hamas could have released the hostages to extend the ceasefire, but instead they have chosen refusal and war,” said Brian Hughes, spokesperson for the National Security Council, in a statement.”
🇱🇹Lithuania, 🇵🇱Poland, 🇱🇻Latvia and 🇪🇪Estonia have announced their decision to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention on Anti-Personnel Mines.
“President of France Emmanuel Macron has called on French manufacturers to increase the volume of arms production. Paris is offering arms contracts to European countries.
As of 2023, France was among the top ten countries in the world in terms of military spending.”
“Therefore, Trump and Putin feel such a strong sense of solidarity.”
“A common enmity towards liberal values. A shared feeling of vulnerability. And most importantly: a shared attitude towards power and money.
When banks in the West have rejected Donald Trump over the years, money from the former Soviet Union has saved him, time and time again.”

The tension is unbearable, will T or P give in?
I’m currently feeling a bit pessimistic and think that P may have reformulated their demands, perhaps given permission to peacekeepers in Ukraine, but only from NK and Iran, and T will declare “peace in our time”, stop support to Ukr, and lift sanctions against Rus.
There are some who have written on Substack and Bluesky about login issues and error code for the page, 403 or something?
Checking here to see if it’s widespread because those who are experiencing issues might not be able to report it, and the problem is resolved 👍
403 means that you have been blocked by the firewall rules. This can happen if, for example, you try to log in many times in a short period, but also for other reasons (such as trying to access addresses and files used only by hackers and bots).
However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have done anything wrong. IP addresses can change sometimes (especially on mobile networks), and you may end up with an IP address that has been blocked before. It could also be that your computer has been infected with a virus and is doing some suspicious things that have led to it being blocked without your knowledge.
You can ask them to contact me at Bluesky DM if they still have issues, so I can check if they are stuck in the firewall and remove them.
Seems to be working now 🙂

Good that it worked out!
Could it be that Johan No.1 printed out the wrong link? There is a development copy of the website, maybe he used that one.
It’s not always open, and also the user accounts are not available in that version so it will not be possible to log in.
johanno1.se?
Yes, that’s correct. 👍
I was wondering if you saved the first link you received and accidentally used it without thinking about it.
As mentioned, I would need to get in touch with those who are experiencing issues to investigate what it could be due to.
There shouldn’t be anyone stuck in the firewall right now.
Jajamän. Can’t access from one of my computers anymore, 403 something, in a certain network, IP or whatever it is. Can access from another computer in another location or from my mobile.
And now it works! No more 403 Forbidden. I can once again access from “all” my workplaces and computers (hate laptops, pure emergency solution…).

But,
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Machine translation: “Russia’s president calls economic cooling inevitable”
“The Russian economy, which showed a growth of 4.1% in 2024, will inevitably cool down, and the task of the government and the central bank is to make this process smooth to prevent hypothermia “as in a cryochamber,” said President Vladimir Putin at the RSPP congress.”
“The numbers are known. The Central Bank has one figure, the government and the Ministry of Economic Development have another, it is not 4.1% (the growth level of the Russian GDP in 2024 – IF) – 2-2.5%. But we must ensure that there is no collapse, no excessive freezing. It is a sensitive issue, but I hope it will be resolved,” added the president.”

There is an extreme amount of disinformation right now from everyone, even Zelensky, so be a bit cautious about praising statements.
It will be interesting to see what comes from Putin – Trump’s messaging on WhatsApp.
Had a post that was supposed to come this morning, but when I opened the computer at home last night after work, Word restored an earlier copy so it will come tomorrow instead, and now one wants to wait for what Trump has to say after the meeting 😀
Halfway, I think he will go back to Zelensky and demand more, and then when Zelensky can’t do it – accuse him of wanting war.
If the USA admits Crimea, we deviate from the practice since the 1930s from the US side.
It’s starting to feel more and more like Groundhog Day from Trump here – “I’m saving thousands of Ukrainians who are trapped”…
It’s not 1939 when the UK stood alone – it’s 2025 and the whole of Europe is united, so the USA’s legendary production capacity is no longer No.1.
In this war, now, what is important is what China decides to do and the one who actually provokes China the most is the USA.
As I have written further up, I believe just like you. Trump will find out what Putin demands, but of course will not press him, instead going directly to Zelensky and trying to force him to agree to it.
When that doesn’t work, things will start to get really interesting. What will Trump come up with then?
I believe the same, and it is surely related to Israel’s attack on Hamas. If you have many balls in the air at the same time, it is not as obvious that you have dropped one.

This will be an interesting case to follow. If it passes and he is convicted, we will know that both the House of Representatives and the Senate are backing Trump, and then there probably aren’t many who dare to go against him in the future.
“Federal Judge James Boasberg ordered the plane with migrants flying to El Salvador to turn around, and for that he will face impeachment.
This was reported by Republican Congressman Brandon Gill.”
“This judge, like many of the villainous judges I am forced to face, should face IMPEACHMENT,” Trump writes.
“The House of Representatives can impeach through a vote, and then it is the Senate that holds the trial and votes on any guilt.”
https://omni.se/republikaner-vill-stalla-domaren-infor-riksratt/a/VzBw36
The judge tried to stop the deportation as he suspected it was illegal.
From Wikipedia: “In early 2025, the Trump administration began deporting Venezuelan nationals alleged to be members of Tren de Aragua, citing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as justification. However, on March 15, 2025, Boasberg issued a 14-day restraining order, stating that he did not believe federal law permits the Trump administration to bypass removal proceedings in this manner. Specifically, Boasberg noted there is no historical precedent for this kind of deportation when Congress has not declared war. In response, Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized Boasberg. Though Boasberg verbally ordered that any planes in the air carrying those covered by his order be turned back and those individuals returned to the US, the Trump administration allowed flights carrying migrants from Venezuela to proceed to El Salvador, possibly violating the court order.”
Isn’t it a bit like here where murderers can’t be deported because they risk getting into trouble in their home country?
If I understood this correctly, it was gangs from El Salvador and Venezuela that were deported, right?
So confirmed criminals?
Watched a movie about them. I don’t think they had anything to do with criminals. Just art enthusiasts who therefore have gang tattoos all over their bodies.
No, now you are way off base.
No evidence had been presented that they were actually criminals or members of the cartel, they had not been charged (and therefore not convicted) either.
Trump used a law that can be used against “enemies of the United States,” but that has never been invoked in peacetime, and the judge wanted to determine if it was legally sustainable. Before it was clarified, he believed that the deportation needed to be stopped to avoid the risk of breaking the law (by Trump).
To bring him before a military tribunal, when it might be Trump who has made a mistake, one must say feels a bit off, right?
It will probably never be tested if that goes through. Trump will therefore be able to deport and imprison anyone, no judge will dare to oppose him. One step closer to dictatorship.
It will have a significant impact if he gets Congress on board with that (and what he does if he doesn’t get it through).
Yes ok, it’s “they are gang members” verbally, you’re absolutely right, so whether they are or not, we don’t know 👍

A bit off topic, but did you know that Bukele is extremely popular in El Salvador? I checked with my Peruvian colleague when it started making the news.
He has popularity ratings that would make any prime minister in the world green with envy.
It may not be so strange that it is popular to take a tough stance against crime in a country with that level of crime, but one should not break the law themselves to get there, right? There have surely been a lot of innocent people affected in the massive purges that have been carried out there too, right?
It’s extremely divided. How was the “rule of law” Sweden built? The 1500s and 1600s were not cozy times when Wasa had to straighten things out and the kings who followed continued. Draconian punishments for crimes we barely understand today and quite blunt in their application… We didn’t have any order, so to speak, until the 1800s and it didn’t really get good (relatively speaking) until after WW2 with the new Code of Judicial Procedure (from 1942).
You can’t develop democracy and the rule of law without stability, where a majority trusts the state’s ability to maintain order (Lex the whole of Africa, kind of…). If it becomes lawless enough (can’t define “enough”), the fine-tuning doesn’t work. Personally, I believe Sweden is on the brink in that regard, now…
That’s what I said, only art enthusiasts.
They could absolutely have been gang members and it could absolutely be that they should be deported, but shouldn’t it be handled properly?
“We throw him in jail because he has tattoos, he’s almost certainly in a criminal gang!”
The judge wanted a hearing to clarify if it was legal is my interpretation. That is, it was an open question.
It will definitely be exciting to follow. If the judge is allowed to proceed with it, it means that the legality of the president’s directive can no longer be challenged. It probably won’t sit well with the legal system. At all.
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts writes in a statement that “impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement over a legal decision” and that this has been the prevailing order for over two centuries, reports AP.
Well, that sounds good anyway.
Yes, the USA has had a system of separation of powers (checks and balances) since the 18th century, which has worked successfully so far. None of the executive, legislative, and administrative powers should become too strong. They should balance each other.
Considering that the Supreme Court leans Republican, it’s quite a slap on the wrist and well formulated 😂
Trump’s response will probably be “yes, as long as the law I used…”
Well – has Putin finished his conference and accepted Trump’s hundredth attempt to reach him this afternoon 😂
50 messages on WhatsApp later…
Are you impatient to start working on tomorrow’s yellow wall 🤐
haha, it’s done but we need to have a reference to this if something is said 😀
Trump probably knows what he wants, but Putin just becomes paranoid and pathologically suspicious. Everything outside his long-established comfort zone is dangerous.
Should one interpret the EU’s silence benevolently, waiting for a statement from Trump from this meeting before they make a move?
The conversation between Trump and Putin has ended, — the White House It lasted more than 2 hours. Now the US president is expected to hold a press conference following the dialogue with the Russian president.

The suspense is unbearable!
“Trump’s and Putin’s phone call over – spoke for over 90 minutes”
“This means that it started an hour later than what the Kremlin had indicated in advance. At 2 pm, Vladimir Putin was instead speaking in front of oligarchs and when asked if he was not late, Putin waved off the question and said that one should not listen to his spokespersons, notes Financial Times Moscow correspondent Max Seddon on X.”
Second place on that one! 😂
Have you switched from Bluesky to OMNI? Lots of linking there today.
Edit.
Just saw a link to BS 🤡
We get 10% of the revenue from Omni if we link 👍

Cashing!
Jasså? I haven’t seen a trace of that money! 🤔😄
Trying to keep track of both, the advantage of Omni is that they write in Swedish for those who prefer it.
But in Swedish 👍
“Ryska Mi-28 militärhelikoptern kraschade i Leningradregionen i Ryssland. Två besättningsmedlemmar dog.”
Seems like it’s going to be 30 degrees cease-fire?
EDIT: just for strategic bombing 😁
Happy here, are you happy too?
Trump and Putin agreed that the move toward peace would begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical talks to implement a naval ceasefire in the Black Sea, — White House.
Then I, as the first person in the world after the OSCE, media, and Zelensky himself, can announce that Ukraine has achieved the ceasefire they have agreed upon 😁
This is good, very good.
Sounds like something that would suit RU. Like UA ceasing to attack oil resources in RU. What does Ukraine think?
The other thing on the table was the ceasefire at the frontlines, but UA wants to continue fighting so this is good.
Is UA actually suggesting this.
Inga Shahed, Kinshal, and Iskander against Ukraine? No corresponding ones from UA against RU? No more air warfare then?
It seems to be okay for the Russians to continue bombing hospitals and schools.
There are both pros and cons, now that spring has arrived UA is not as vulnerable to energy attacks, while production of Neptune seems to have picked up, hitting Russian oil and gas hard, which affects Russian revenues.
Then we have the political side where Russia has shown the weak card they hold (economy). Trump has won a small victory and continues to support UA.
It could have ended much worse, so one should probably be satisfied.
Press release from WH.
It sounds great, especially if the rumors about a new operation in Bilhorod are true ☺️.
Surprisingly positive, let’s see what happens on the 31st day when they have saved missiles and mopeds for 30 days…. Or will they send them to schools and hospitals instead.
What a veritable Gandhi Trump is, right 😂
Why have I been demoted to blue while you are still yellow MXT?
I feel like I always draw the short straw in these color changes.
EDIT: I did suggest snake green at some point, do you think that would be something?
EDIT: ok, that was not meant seriously.
It is the author of today’s post who turns yellow even in the comments.
😶
Some motivation to write the post before you, therefore
Is everything okay at the proposal level?
China is ready to participate in Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction, said Li Min, spokesperson for the China International Development Cooperation Agency.

As expected, Janus face, treacherous dual nature, no tofu buildings in Europe please.

Everything still seems written in water.
One of Tesla’s earliest investors has told Sky News that Elon Musk should step aside as the carmaker’s chief executive unless he gives up his new government job. 👀 Ross Gerber said that Musk had lost his focus given his widening interests and was now too “divisive”.

During Tesla’s dramatic stock market declines in recent weeks, several board members and top executives have sold shares in the company for millions of dollars, ABC News reports. For example, four executives within the company reportedly sold shares in early February for a total value of $100 million. Even Elon Musk’s brother Kimbal Musk, who sits on the board, is said to have sold 75,000 shares for around $27 million last month. “When insiders sell shares, it is not a positive signal,” says University of Florida finance professor Jay Ritter to the news channel.

Musk is a scoundrel!

Musk is a rascal 😂😂😂😂
Musk is Musk. He is active, flamboyant, and quirky but not a technocrat. We have too many of those in the West.
McDonalds Gandhi, a slightly thicker version of Gandhi
Trumps peace efforts, therefore
Tight clouds, no rain.
AUF storming the village of Demidovka, located 1.5 km from the border, according to the Russians – they are aiming towards Krasnaya Yaruga (a town with a population of about 8 thousand), so the population is being urgently evacuated from the area.

A bit exciting with Bilhorod 😀
There is a major railway junction at Prolotarskiy, a stone’s throw from Krasnaya Yaruga.
I don’t dare attack that one yet, some risk that it’s a RU source and psyops.
But otherwise – damn, we’ve been waiting for more attack vectors at the northern front before RU closes the door with more North Koreans.
Watched Michael Clark on Sky News who had looked at the Kremlin’s press release from the meeting between Trump and Putin.
The Russians have a completely different view of the meeting and argue that UA more or less must stand still and that all help from abroad must cease, and that the very cause of the war must be determined before there can be any talk of a ceasefire.
Has Trump just made up what they agreed on or is Putin trying to deceive him?
Feel free to watch the video!

“Believe me, Ukraine is on the menu, not at the negotiating table,” – military analyst Michael Clarke to Sky News. “There’s an old saying in diplomatic circles: ‘If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.’ And believe me, Ukraine is on the menu.”
Now also on omni
Russian President Vladimir Putin still says no to a ceasefire, following the over an hour and a half long phone call with US President Donald Trump. Russia has several demands to agree to a ceasefire, including Ukraine stopping its mobilization of soldiers and halting the rearmament of its military forces, according to a statement from the Kremlin. Additionally, all military support from the US and its allies must be stopped, and all intelligence sharing from the West must also be stopped for Russia to cease its warfare, the Kremlin stated according to Reuters. However, Putin is said to have agreed to a 30-day halt to attacks on energy infrastructure that applies to both sides.

You are right about both, Trump makes things up and Putin will fake out T at the hot dog stand on the corner.
I know the actual reason for the war, but I don’t want to expose that person, although I can say that the name starts with P and ends with utin.

AFRF🇷🇺 launched a missile attack with three missiles and 43 air strikes with 54 fighter jets. Additionally, they deployed 755 kamikaze drones and fired approximately 4,200 artillery shells at AFU🇺🇦 positions and populated areas.
The situation on the border between the Sumy region and the Kursk region in the Russian Federation is under the control of the Ukrainian defense forces.
The information circulating on social media about Russian troops advancing deep into the territory of the Sumy region is not true.
Russian occupiers are attempting to enter some settlements near the Ukrainian border in small groups. The enemy is immediately destroyed by firepower thanks to coordinated actions and a defense system established in advance.
Our defenders manage to thwart all attempts by the intruders to gain a foothold in the Sumy region. The enemy suffers significant losses in personnel.
The leadership of the Ukrainian armed forces is taking all necessary measures to strengthen our troop grouping with technical means and reserves.
Ukrainian soldiers also continue to hold territories in the Kursk region.
It is important to note that the enemy does not cease to exert information and psychological pressure, spreading their propaganda narratives to discredit the military command and sow panic and mistrust in Ukrainian society. Please rely only on official sources and verify information.
It should be emphasized that the communication units and the official spokespersons of the Ukrainian armed forces inform the public daily about the events in the Russian-Ukrainian war and the current situation in the conflict zones.
