The US and its G7 partners have warned Moscow they could expand sanctions and use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine, as Donald Trump seeks to win over Vladimir Putin to his ceasefire proposal.

Trump left himself no cards to play. Instead of backing Ukraine behind closed doors, he come out and said he not bck them. Russia see he's no cards to play, and no need to give up anything. Just wait to America pull out aid all together, them Push on. Trump totally outplayed himself,as he nowhere near as smart as he and his cohorts think.

Now that Russia has told Trump to f**k off as predicted, I expect he will revert back to bullying Ukraine.

Well he can't publicly admit that Putin has again run rings around him.

The latest Ukraine strike on the Engels airbase looks like a significant blow. Apparently the Russians use this base for planes with air launched missiles. A new consignment of missiles arrived and before they could be used against Ukrainian schools and hospitals the Ukrainian drones arrived and blew the whole lot up. There were 5 aircraft there, it is not hard to imagine shrapnel damage to them too.
This could reflect US intelligence or perhaps the Ukrainians have a spy living in an apartment nearby.

It sounds like Ukraine have regularly been trying to hit it. Maybe it's pot luck which drones or missiles elude the defence systems.

Trump thinks of himself as the world's greatest peacemaker. This has been disproved in Gaza and Ukraine. Neither is anywhere near peace despite Trump's attention.

They have hit it before, but not with the same effect. The point is that the Russians know they can hit it, but they cannot muster the air defence to stop them doing so. The object of the Ukrainians is to make them withdraw their planes further away, to a point where they are not much use in launching missiles.
Likewise the drones have more or less dismantled the air defence in Crimea, making it useless as a base for ships or aircraft.

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

"Surely people at some point must grow a spine"

Its difficult to view a Putin Trump bromance as the strongest signal of a fallen world when for several decades now the West completely cucks for Israel.
