Here’s a quick update on what’s going on in the Ukraine War and the discussions of a potential ceasefire.
Ukrainian forces had to withdraw from Kursk following a Russian assault. This was conveniently timed during the US intelligence blackout. Ukraine lost plenty of equipment and were on the receiving end of some new Russian drone tactics.
Trump has been spewing some more Russian propaganda, like 10,000 Ukrainians being trapped (which had already been debunked). So, he’s either getting bad/tainted info or he’s just naive. This erratic behavior will continue to plague this administration and negatively impact US strategy.
What about the ceasefire? Well, the initial agreement broke within hours. Putin’s demands are absurd and would effectively dismantle Ukraine’s military. So, not much movement there…
