Ukraine is also receiving arms and vehicles still under aid granted by Biden. Once most of the USAI contracts are fulfilled there will be little reason for them to listen to the US about much. So stretching things out is the best play for now.
Unfortunately the key thing they need is intelligence and I'm not sure any of their other partners have the kind of satellites the USA has; unfortunately the THUG in the whitehouse has done NOTHING to help ukraine but want to blackmail them for the aid others have given.

I understand the French have been helping them out more in this area lately.

Unclear if this is an accurate representation of the "minerals deal" but if so I think the odds the Ukrainian parliament approves it to be rather low.

Feels mostly like Zelensky is playing for time right now.
Trump's plan also includes restoring Europe's dependence on Russian gas.
He wants to make slaves of the entire continent. And empower Russia to no end.
It's a design to make Russia win the war. Not just today, but long term too.

Trump's leverage goes down over time. There is no way they can compel the Ukrainians into this. Just like when Zelensky refused the first outrageous demands Bessent made. What he's likely to do is throw the ball back and forth to stretch out the negotiation instead of outright refuse. Plus the Russians are going to make demands and Ukraine will make counter demands. Eating up time.

Some 'interesting' comments from Putin overnight;
  • "'Nazis' have great influence in Ukraine"
  • "Civil authorities in Ukraine are not legitimate, since there were no presidential elections Russia does not understand with whom to sign something in Ukraine, since tomorrow other leaders will come." [ wtaf !! ]
  • "There is reason to believe that the Russian Armed Forces will finish off the Ukrainian troops"
  • "Russia is ready to cooperate with Europe on the settlement of the Ukraine conflict, but they are 'trying to deceive us'."
  • "Trump sincerely seeks to end the Ukrainian conflict"
And then there is the new idea from Putin - "Putin has proposed putting Ukraine under a new temporary government, administered under the auspices of the U.N. and a number of countries, to hold new elections there."

Snagged from https://bsky.app/profile/maks23.bsky.social and https://bsky.app/profile/meduza.io/post/3llfgcqrhj52o

Its clear that just like Zelenskyy is trying to wait out Trump, Putin is also trying to wait out Trump. Neither wants peace under the conditions that Trump (and increasingly the Europeans) are willing to entertain.

One possibility is that Trump simply loses interest in the coming months or other events take precedence for him. Rs aren’t going to pass more Ukraine aid anyway so soon the US will be mostly irrelevant. Kyiv has been working the Euros hard and will continue to do so.

CZ putting together another shell program for Ukraine:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...tillery-shells-for-ukraine-under-czech-scheme

  • The Czech-led ammunition initiative for Ukraine can deliver another 1.5m artillery rounds in 2025, as many as last year, the Czech prime minister, Petr Fiala, said on Thursday after the Paris summit of Ukraine’s allies. The initiative was launched last year and funded by a number of allies. Among the rounds provided in 2024 were 500,000 units of 155mm shells, the Czech defence ministry said in February this year. The 155mm rounds fit Nato artillery guns provided by western allies to Ukraine, whereas its post-Soviet arsenal uses 152mm shells. The Czech-led initiative supplies both kinds.

Czechs wandering around the world quietly with bags of cash that they will give for both western and soviet pattern shells is an effective acquisition strategy. Many countries are willing to sell if they are not named.

Three kidnapped Ukrainian teens with more stones than all of Team Treason.

"But there is a fundamental flaw in Putin’s project: There is perhaps no group of people on the planet that despises being told what to do and who to be more than, well, teenagers."

As a dad I'm proud of these guys and their resistance, I hope their parents are too. And as always, may the fuck by upon Putin the warcriminal.

Sounds like that with the Ukrainian rejection of the latest mineral deal from the US, that reality has begun seeping into the inner circle of the White House...



Walking back impossible dreams 👍
