Summary
Russia warned that U.S.-Russia relations are near collapse, with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stating the Ukraine war will continue unless Kyiv abandons its NATO ambitions.
The Kremlin declined to confirm Trump’s claim that he spoke with Putin, despite Trump’s assertion that he expects more discussions to end the war.
Trump’s security adviser suggested economic pressure on Moscow to negotiate, while Ukraine’s Zelenskyy insists on U.S. and European support before engaging with Putin.
Meanwhile, a Russian drone attack injured a civilian in Ukraine’s Sumy region.
The Orange Menace is impervious to kompromat. You can only blackmail people who have shame, and Asshole in Chief has absolutely none. Whatsoever. He himself said that he could shoot a man in the middle of Times Square and not lose a single vote, which is absolutely true. His voters actually want a shameless criminal in the White House, because this legitimizes their own awful behaviour. I can’t think of any kind of kompromat that Putler could use against someone like that.
I feel like if they had video of him porking a young blonde and calling her “Ivanka” he’d realize the damage it could do.
