- The mess that was left on the desk when Trump took office is a job. There is always something that he has to deal with. Zelensky is still going around saying that a show of force can bring Putin to the table. Zelensky is still begging for money and weapons. Remember that when Ukraine had several young men for the military and all the backing and support of NATO and Biden that he could have. And when Zelensky was the next Winston Churchill and flew to the US and everyone was wearing the pin and spoke to a joint session of congress. He didn’t have to send vans to round people up.. All that didn’t bring Putin to the table.
- Brussel’s top diplomat has expressed frustration over US payment demands for weapons it intends to send to Kiev. The EU is funding the death of Ukraine by paying for weapons to Kiev. They want you to believe that we are going to send the weapons to NATO and NATO will pay for them, then send them to Ukraine. The EU is saying that the US has to pay their share.
- Russia seeks clarity on Trump’s 50-day Ukraine deadline. Russia is saying that their position hasn’t changed, they won. Everyone doesn’t get a trophy. You can aggressively move towards our border. Officials and state media appeared dismissive of Trump’s threat to impose major economic sanctions unless Moscow ends its war in Ukraine in 50 days.
- NATO chief warns Brazil, China and India could be slammed by US sanctions. Slovak premier demands exemption to continue buying Russian gas in exchange for lifting veto on EU sanctions, they want a work around the sanctions.
