With respect, Eugene, #krasnov has no such resolve to defend Ukrainian sovereignty. He’s angling for a Nobel and a minerals deal while satisfying putin just enough to forestall release of the #kompromat. But putin is displeased with how the US-Ukraine negotiation went in Saudi Arabia. He feels like he’s on his back foot now, having to respond instead of initiating the agenda. #Witkoff had better take care in moscow. No doubt things are set up ten different ways to ensnare him in something compromising.

Trump is weak. He'll bend. No way that he stands up to a determined KGB officer like Putin.
Unfortunately the Americans have elected a mentally deficient 78 year old as their Commander&Chief.
Ukraine's hope & future is Europe.
