US-arranged peace talk collapses.
Focused air assault on Kharkiv. Ukraine launches a very large drone counter-attack in response.
US didn’t show up for the US-arranged negotiations. Of course Ukraine isn’t going to surrender any territory. What made US negotiators think they would? Sigh! “U.S. leader chiding Zelenskiy for refusing to recognize Russia’s occupation of Crimea.” Again, Trump failed to sit down with his negotiators beforehand. Very sensibly, Ukraine says they will not allow” Russia to “regroup and return with greater violence.”
“Leavitt: ‘In order to make a good deal, both sides have to walk away a little unhappy.’” But what does Russia give up?
Trump blames Obama for letting Russia take Crimea. Commenter quoted to suggest there’s some truth to that.
Russia repeats its call for Ukraine to withdraw completely from the four provinces it has allegedly annexed.
In Georgia, Albi Korzaia is accused of insulting an investigator. Korzaia repeats that the investigator is a “Russian and a traitor.”
Georgian reporter is fined GEL 20,000 (approximately €6,400).
Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov says “Russia sees Ukraine’s potential NATO membership as a direct threat to its security.“ Of course, without NATO membership, Russia can attack again. Russia considers Zelenskyy an illegitimate leader, so any agreement he signs is open to challenge. Blogger feels that the leak of the Russian claim to be bribing Trump is part of a plan to make Trump look weak and compromised.
