[W:#23,579]Ukraine War Thread


You'll notice there are no medical markings on those, for two reasons:

1. They are usually used to haul supplies to the very edge of the front (not legal for medical assets), and

2. Russian barbarians think of a red cross as a handy target.
 
Imagine how they would perform without the corruption and with proper training

>It could take up to "two weeks" to work out whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is stringing U.S. negotiators along, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House in late May. If Putin is stalling, Trump warned, "we'll respond a little bit differently." Now, the apparent deadline laid out for the Kremlin is up. What hasn't yet materialized, though, is a ceasefire deal. Absent, too, are convincing signs an agreement could be on the horizon and clarity on how Trump intends to act. "I don't think Putin took the two weeks seriously," John Foreman, a former British defense attaché to both Moscow and Kyiv, told Newsweek. Ukraine said Russia has not responded to a document outlining possible ceasefire conditions and the need for a face-to-face meeting between Putin and Zelensky. Russia's chief negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, said Moscow had handed over its own document outlining road maps to stop the fighting, including a pause for up to 3 days on "certain sections of the front." Zelensky claimed Russian officials at the talks earlier this month admitted openly to Ukraine's delegation that they knew Kyiv could not accept Moscow's conditions.<

For Putin and Trump, cease-fire talks are a charade.




>Cuts to U.S. aid for Ukraine in the upcoming budget "will lead to more casualties" for Kyiv, a senior Ukrainian lawmaker has told Newsweek. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told U.S. lawmakers during a committee hearing on Tuesday that there will be a "reduction" in the next fiscal year's budget for aid heading for Ukraine. He did not specify what the cutbacks in the upcoming budget will be. Shrinking aid for Ukraine now will "embolden" Putin, said Oleksiy Goncharenko, a Ukrainian member of parliament for the southern Odesa region. "It's completely opposite to President Trump's intention to end the war," he told Newsweek. Hegseth did not attend a meeting of tens of defense chiefs gathered to coordinate support for Ukraine earlier this month, marking the first time the U.S. Defense Secretary has not appeared at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.<

Hegseth does what Trump tells him to do. Any lack of US support for Ukraine emanates from the very top. President Trump.




>Russian state media figures have sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump in recent broadcasts and online commentary, claiming he is "losing" power and influence as his stance on the Ukraine war and relations with Vladimir Putin have shifted. Influential Russian broadcasters Vladimir Solovyov and Dimitri Simes aired skepticism about Trump's ability to maintain consistent foreign policy, highlighting lost alliances, questioning his influence and expressing overall dissatisfaction with Trump's direction, citing fractured alliances and inconsistent policymaking. The discussion underscores the notions abroad that Trump's unpredictability undermines the stability and effectiveness of the American political system, emphasizing concerns about his decision-making and prioritization of personal interests.<

When the Russians discuss how all-around bad Donald Trump's management is, you definitley know it is BAD.




>The latest proposed EU sanctions aimed at punishing Vladimir Putin for his full-scale invasion of Ukraine could deliver the knockout blow for Russian natural gas sales in Europe, according to one energy analyst. If approved by all EU members, the package 'could put the final nail in Nord Stream 2's coffin'. However, Russia's pivot to LNG shipping keeps fueling the Russian war machine and so Brussels should sanction more tankers carrying the Russian fuel, particularly those insured or owned by European companies. Von der Leyen pitched a new cap of $45 per barrel as well as banning importing refined products made with Russian crude oil and traded under a different label. The EU sanctions would also aim at limiting the Kremlin's ability to raise funds or carry out financial transactions, with a further 22 Russian banks to be hit with measures. Also, the assets of more than 20 Russian and foreign companies alleged to be providing support to the Kremlin's war machine would be frozen.<

Do it. If Orban and/or Fico object, go around them.
