I said last week that, despite my profound concerns about this President Donald J. Trump, I'd praise him if his efforts helped free the Israeli hostages and bring a ceasefire. Everyone, regardless, of politics should welcome today's developments, and hope that a just and lasting peace follows.

“He was fired in April after far-right activist Laura Loomer met with the president.” Trump fired General Haugh because Loomer accused him of being “disloyal” because Biden appointed him. Shameful.

Tomorrow, the US will make an important announcement regarding arms deliveries to Ukraine, said US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker.

FEELING THE PINCH: As western sanctions (finally) ramp up against Putin's shadow fleet, Russian sea borne oil exports have decreased by 20% in the past month. These poorly maintained, undermanned, uninsured vessels are a ecological disaster waiting to happen.

❗️A 🇺🇦Ukrainian ground robotic complex with TM-62 anti-tank mines drove into a 🇷🇺Russian dugout and blew it up together with Russian infantry near the village of Hryhorivka, Donetsk region.

My second birthday wish is for my friends in 🇨🇭 Switzerland to find this man. Every day, all of society has to live amongst these "people." ​F**k the "ruskie mir," let's live in the Ukrainian world where people love one another, not threaten to kill. #RussianVisaBan

🇺🇸 White House: Putin and I will then meet in Budapest to seek an end to the war. Trump thinks it is still possible to get Putin and Zelensky together. Trump will try to move the ball forward for peace in Ukraine. Trump feels like progress was made on call with Putin.

Trump invited Putin to a meeting in the EU…

Did Putin play Trump? Again?

Just sent out this piece. Trunp and Putin are buddies again, all talk of Tomahawks to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia have disappeared. Was it all a charade? Sad thing, is that it might be worse.

Huge Ukrainian drone attack ongoing on Russia right now.
