Trump: If there is no significant progress on Ukraine, the US will cede its role in the settlement to Europe
▪️The US is not yet withdrawing from peace talks on the Ukrainian conflict.
▪️The conflict in Ukraine should have remained a European problem, the US should not have interfered, he added.
▪️Trump also said that he believes in Putin's desire for peace in Ukraine.
▪️He will consider the option of increasing arms supplies to Ukraine, but believes in the settlement of the conflict, there is a chance to achieve peace, therefore the US is not tightening sanctions against Russia.

On the importance of liberating Novoolenovka and Maryino
Maryino is a village in the Krasnopol district of the Sumy region of Ukraine with a population of about 50 people. It is located 13 kilometers from the Russian border Oleshnya and 6 kilometers southwest of Yunakovka, writes war correspondent Alexander Kots. The latter village was bypassed from the south.
During the invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine into the Kursk region, Yunakovka was the main transit point for the transfer of Ukrainian military personnel and military equipment to Russian territory. After the liberation of this village, the Sever group has a direct road to the regional center - the city of Sumy.
Novoolenovka is a village in the Konstantinovka district of the former Donetsk region with a pre-war population of about 240 people. It is located 4 kilometers northwest of the previously liberated Alexandropol.
The village occupies an important position on the T0504 highway, connecting the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd agglomeration with the city of Konstantinovka, the southern stronghold of the fortified area Konstantinovka - Druzhkovka - Kramatorsk - Slavyansk.
The "Center" group methodically and confidently cuts off Mirnograd and Pokrovsk from Ukrainian logistics.

There is “some progress” in the settlement between Russia and Ukraine, - Trump after a conversation with Putin.
"It's a terrible situation there, so hopefully we can figure something out. We've also talked to the leaders of most of the other European countries and are trying to figure this out. It's a shame that this happened at all," the US president said.

The American president betrayed Ukraine and Europe — British Sky News
➖“Ukraine and its allied European leaders will be disappointed and concerned that Donald Trump has betrayed them,” the publication writes.
▪️They expected Trump to impose tough sanctions on Russia, and now they are "looking in the face of calls for negotiations."
▪️Trump appears to have put little more pressure on Putin. European leaders had hoped Trump would follow through on his threats to push the Russian president toward a ceasefire.
▪️According to Putin, there was no talk of sanctions at all, and Trump even stated that Russia is in favor of a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
▪️Putin's statement that a ceasefire with Ukraine is possible after reaching agreements actually coincides with what Russia has been saying for the past two months.
Drama queens continue…

@Slavyangrad
"Basically, the US is withdrawing from the negotiations and washing its hands of the situation" — the first reactions of the Ukrainian authorities to the recent talks between Putin and Trump have appeared
▪️The situation was commented on by Rada deputy Goncharenko, who latched onto the fact that Trump emphasized in his statement that "the conditions will be discussed between the two sides."
▪️According to the Ukrainian MP, this is the key phrase and it means that the US is withdrawing from the negotiations.
➖"And this is because we agreed to direct negotiations with the Russian Federation without the US," Goncharenko complains.
▪️He also predicts that the fighting will not end before the end of the year.
EU and Ukrainian leaders will not be happy with this call.

Ukraine wins Romanian elections' – LCI columnist François Clemenceau
'The victory of Bucharest Mayor Dan is, in fact, also a victory for Ukraine. This is extremely important. Because of its location on the Black Sea coast, Romania was very quick to provide military assistance to Ukraine at the beginning of the war. Artillery, air defense. Romania is now training Ukrainian F-16 pilots. It has also provided an alternative route for grain exports. And finally, Romania hosts a multinational NATO battalion led by France, and Constanta is home to the Alliance's largest air base on the eastern flank. So, the victory of a pro-European candidate in Bucharest is good news for Europe, good news for Ukraine, and therefore very bad news for Vladimir Putin.'
The Ukrainian marathon broadcast today began with an announcement of Trump's telephone conversation with "Ukrainian President Vladimir Putin" 😌

The enemy complains that our drones reach the Kramatorsk-Dobropolye highway, which is 40 km from the front. In this way, our operators interfere with logistics and also destroy construction equipment used in the construction of defensive fortifications.

Kash Patel categorically denies all rumours that Epstein was "suicided" and instead strenuously insists that it was just a "regular" suicide, he knows it because he's worked in the field for years.
🤔Hmmmm, seems legit. The guy must've been a master suicider: he chose right the perfect moment to off himself, when the security guard was away and right when the security camera was malfunctioning.
Nope, nothing suspicious to be seen here, just move along I guess.
By the way, any news on the Epstein files yet?

Zelensky says asked Trump not to make decisions on Ukraine 'without us'
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said he asked Donald Trump "not to make any decisions about Ukraine without us" before the US president spoke with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
"These are matters of principle for us and very important," Zelensky told reporters.
US and Russia don’t need Ukrainian permission.

WELT believes that the conversation between Putin and Trump could have been difficult.
'For Trump, two-plus hours is a very long time, and he tends to prefer quick discussions and quick decisions over long negotiations.'
The German’s think Trump is a 8 year old child. Say what you want but I’m sure Trump has no problem talking for 2+ hours. Ever seen his election tours? The guy just wings it.
@Slavyangrad
But in separate comments the Russian president sounded far more tentative about any process and did not spell out a substantive change in the Kremlin’s stance.
In remarks that indicated that Washington may be stepping back from a role as a mediator, Trump said the “conditions” for a deal could only be negotiated by the warring parties “because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of”.
Trump also said that immediately after the call with Putin, he gave his account of the conversation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy together with the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Finland and the European Commission.
One person familiar with the conversation said the leaders on the call were stunned by the US president’s description of what was agreed. They added it was clear Trump was “not ready to put greater pressure” on Putin to come to the negotiating table in earnest.
In European capitals, leaders fear that Trump could cut a deal with Putin that accedes to his maximalist demands and sells out Ukraine’s interests in his haste to end the fighting.
European pouting to commence.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Presidential aide Ushakov - on the conversation between Putin and Trump:
It was a frank and constructive conversation. And curiously, it began with our president congratulating Donald Trump on the birth of his 11th grandchild. And wished, naturally, health to the newborn and Trump's daughter.
It is curious that immediately after these congratulations, which I just mentioned, the presidents immediately began an in-depth discussion of the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, including taking into account the recent direct Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul.
The presidents did not talk about the time frame for a possible future ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, although Trump naturally emphasizes his interest in reaching an agreement as soon as possible.
Exchanges of imprisoned citizens of the two countries were mentioned. This is an important humanitarian action. The presidents noted that another exchange is being worked out now - 9 for 9 people.
There were a lot of digressions, that's why the conversation was so long, plus translation. But I will tell you, it's rare to have a conversation of this length where both presidents, neither president wanted to end the conversation, didn't want to, if I may say so, hang up the phone.
Trump said: "Vladimir, you can pick up the phone at any time, and I will be happy to answer, happy to talk to you." Such an ending also characterizes the nature of the conversation that took place between the leaders.
