That's excellent. It's quite extraordinary that Ukraine is managing to open the sky over Moscow, and the russians are unable to close it. 🇺🇦💪

@ScottLucas #trump has been doing and will continue to do #putin's biding. For over a year he had been limiting the #USPolitics in favour of #russia and at the expense of #ukranian military and civilian lives.
#trump and the #republicans have ukranian blood in their hands.
All because there aren't a dozen #oath abiding republicans in Congress.

#Russia rejects #Zelensky proposal of meeting of #Zelensky - #Putin - #Trump

@ScottLucas
The one who started the war doesn't get to impose pre-conditions for peace on the country they invaded, or third parties.

I note the wording "any countries in Eastern Europe" rather than just "Ukraine"? Most of the countries bordering Russia in Europe are already NATO members.

Is he getting worried about Belarus now?

"Is he getting worried about Belarus now?".

Could be? Alexander Lukashenko has always been an authoritarian and a coward - sucking up to what he believes could be the winning team. 😎

@Dimaxx @ScottLucas
I think he'll remain loyal to Putin, but he's mortal, and anyway his grip on control of Belarus wobbled a few years ago, IIRC. If it happens again, there's no realistic threat of Russian tanks rolling in to put down dissent. Russia doesn't have any to spare.

#Zelensky, alongside German Chancellor #Merz: #Ukraine and #Germany have reached agreements on defense investments

#Germany 's #Merz: “We will continue to increase the pressure on #Russia. We will do everything in this context to ensure that Nord Stream 2 cannot be put back into operation."

#Ukraine #UkraineWar

#Germany to provide further military support for #Ukraine amounting to about €5 billion

Defense Ministry points to #Russia airstrikes, “with many civilians killed and injured, as well as the massive destruction of civilian infrastructure in particular”

#Trump: #Putin may be intentionally delaying negotiations for ceasefire to halt #Russia invasion of #Ukraine

“We’re going to find out whether or not he’s tapping us along or not, and if he is, we’ll respond a little differently"
