America/NATO seem content to let Ukraine do the fighting while they remain Ukraine's 'cutman'.

[JP Lindsley | Journalist @JPLindsley]

A journalist asked Zelensky why Donald Trump and Elon Musk are blaming him for the continuation of the war. His answer: “these people can’t find a key” to stopping Putin, and it’s easier to pressure others and talk about the process around Ukraine than to stop Putin himself.

Because there never was a ceasefire. It was just a smokescreen to hide the fact that putin got US concessions & rehabilitation for absolutely nothing.

[Dr. Fred Hoffman, Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) @InfoAgeStrategy]

While Vladimir Putin's forces target Ukrainian residential areas, churches, schools, and innocent civilians, Ukraine's armed forces have systematically eliminated Russian military logistics, key military facilities, and petrochemical facilities (which are owned by Putin's oligarch backers).

The "elite" of Putin's armed forces are long gone, now fertilizing Ukrainian sunflower fields, and the untrained, ill-equipped, and poorly led non-ethnic Russian dregs, North Korean soldiers, and dragooned third country "soldiers" that remain cannot succeed on a battlefield that is thoroughly dominated by Ukrainian drones.

Vladimir Putin has already lost the war; everybody but Putin himself seems to comprehend this.

Trump is working overtime to earn his Kremlin paycheck. Things must be looking pretty bad for Putin.

After President Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, President Zelensky confirmed that Ukraine had not been informed beforehand.

Russia has since struck a pair of Ukrainian power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv.

Russia is strictly adhering to the energy ceasefire announced by Trump today. You can see the results of this ceasefire on the map.

Putin has once again pissed right in Trump’s face in front of the whole world.

Responding to Trump’s escalatory remarks, Zelenskyy on Sunday criticized Trump’s framing, telling ABC News that it is near universally understood that the closing of the Strait of Hormuz has led to higher prices—not Ukraine’s strikes against Russia. https://t.co/8F4SkiWJHP

Trump’s failures in Iran have led him to Russian diesel, bankrolling Putin’s war in Ukraine while Moscow reportedly helps Iran target US forces.

“America First” ?

Frankly grotesque.

Whoever this woman is on Fox News is dumb as rocks… you can literally hear it in her tone that she has no idea what she’s even saying.

Apparently Fox is just putting anybody and everybody on national television 🤣

[Donald Tusk @donaldtusk]

After my today’s talk with @ZelenskyyUa, I’m absolutely convinced that no-one and nothing can break Ukraine and its’ President in their fight against the Russian aggression. I have assured him that he can count on Poland’s and Europe’s full solidarity with the Ukrainian nation.

🔴 Zelenskyy: “It is possible to stop strikes on energy infrastructure as early as today, but Putin does not want to do so.”

Every word of this. The US war with Iran has driven up energy prices.

Don't blame Ukraine, the victims of genocide, for choosing to do whatever they can to stop it - as is their right under international law.

[Mario @PawlowskiMario]

Listen up MAGA yokels☝️🇺🇸

Russia attacked Ukraine 4.5 years ago.

Russian oil was sanctioned since then.

Prices of diesel were fine in America.

Prices went up only after the war in Iran started.

Stop blaming Ukraine, Blame Trump and Corporations.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

We will be introducing bipartisan legislation to block any and all purchases of Russian oil. It will be called the “Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act.” It will be forced to the Floor via discharge and it will pass overwhelmingly. #PeaceThroughStrength

👏 “Replace Putin instead”: Ukrainians respond to Trump's call to replace Zelensky

After Donald Trump said Ukraine needed a new president, Reuters reporters took to the streets of Kyiv to ask residents what they thought.

“The problem is not our president. The problem is the president who started this war against us. Let them replace him instead,” said Sabina, a teacher.

Other Ukrainians pointed out that presidential elections are prohibited under martial law, while millions of citizens are serving in the military or have been forced to flee their homes.

“What about the guys who are defending us right now? How are they supposed to vote? At the end of the day, this is something we must decide ourselves, not Trump,” said Oksana, another teacher.

Nataliia described the American president's remarks as a betrayal by Ukraine's partners.

Journalist Serhii also stressed that Ukraine remains an independent country:

“The United States cannot simply replace any president it wants. This is not Maduro, and this is not Venezuela.”

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Ukraine's new campaign of destroying Russia's data centers will prove devastating for Putin's economy and war machine if the White House is unable to prevent it.

The chaos we're already seeing across Russia is only four days into the campaign and 3 facilities targeted.
