>Russian Lt. General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed when a car bomb exploded as he walked past in Balashikha, a city just outside the capital, Moscow, authorities confirmed. The attack came as U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow to discuss with Russian President Vladimir Putin his peace proposals for ending the war on Ukraine, a fragile process where a lack of progress and the actions of both sides have frustrated President Donald Trump.<
Well now, it couldn't be a FSB false flag operation with US Envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow could it?
And the Kremlin doesn't care enough about Witkoff to stop bombing Ukrainian cities while Witkoff makes palsy-walsy with Putin.

>The United States has failed to persuade Ukraine and Europe to make radical concessions to Russia in negotiations to end the war. According to CNN, Rubio’s withdrawal was triggered by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s refusal to accept the recognition of Russia’s occupation of Crimea — one of the key elements in Trump’s “final proposals.” On April 22, Zelenskyy stated that he was open to negotiations with Russia, but Ukraine would not accept any deal that recognized Russia’s control over Crimea.<
As it should be. The invader should not be rewarded.
There are significant differences between the American vision on one side and the Ukrainian-European one on the other. In order to get a deal done quickly, Trump demands that Ukraine capitiulate. But Trump demands no concessions of Russia. Trump said that a BIG RUSSIAN CONCESSION was that Moscow not capture all of Ukraine. Is Trump living in the real world? Russia cannot even capture the Ukrainian town of Pokrovsk despite trying to do so for the past 9 months.
Moscow has inflicted another round of deadly strikes on Ukraine despite US President Donald Trump’s plea for Russian President Vladimir Putin to “STOP!” attacking its neighbor.
