The USA is running out of patience with Ukraine for being bombed by Russia.

The Art of the Deal: you promise to end the war in 24h, put all the pressure and blame on the victim, refuse to pressure the aggressor and even call out apparent war crimes, promise to the aggressor the lifting of sanctions & other carrots, announce you withdraw & have other priorities to deal with.

I find myself getting sincerely emotional about this. That he’s, under the circumstances, okay. That his wife and kids know this after an agonizing month without him. That a Democratic politician cared enough to go and see him, even after getting told no at first. Trying matters. Fighting works.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

It’s Good Friday, and russians have bombed a bread factory in Sumy, claiming victory over Easter bread, as well as shelled a residential house in Kharkiv with a cluster missile again. Awaiting for true defenders of Christianity to come out again and praise russia for genuine peace intentions.

On Good Friday morning Russia hits Kharkiv with three missiles carrying cluster munitions. One killed, dozens injured. Why is no one talking about holding Russia accountable for war crimes anymore?

The U.S. opposed a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine, claiming it "doesn’t help achieve peace." Let’s be clear: this has nothing to do with achieving peace — it’s about excusing Russian war crimes and undermining Ukrainian sovereignty. All-time low. Yikes.

Trump is not "transactional." He is an extortionist. Once you give in to him, he'll keep coming back for more. That goes for international negotiations as well. The EU would do well to keep this in mind. Unilaterally pausing retaliatory tariffs to show good will only tells him that his tariffs work.

After DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia tried to log in, Berulis stated. Whoever attempted to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password, according to Berulis. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Peace is imminent', as russia nearly triples the pace of slaughtering Ukrainians. I wonder whether the terror will grow tenfold or hundredfold once Witkoff’s permanent peace arrives.

Moscow seems pleased. One Russian paper today: “Soviet leaders’ dream of driving a wedge between the European part of Nato & the US has come true.” Another: “Trump is destroying the world created by US liberals…the changes in the global system serve [Russia’s] interests.” #ReadingRussia

Consider the logic: a statement condemning an attack on civilians is apparently a greater impediment to peace talks than the attack itself.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Europeans must accept their efforts to flatter or cajole Trump into doing the right thing on Ukraine have failed. Trump is on Putin's side. Europe (minus Hungary, of course) now needs either to ensure RU is defeated in UA, or prepare for Putin to attack other parts of the former Russian empire.

What happened in Sumy is not a damn mistake. The real mistake is voting for a man who shamelessly parrots Russian propaganda. Calling a deliberate war crime a “mistake” is cowardice. Putin counts on weakness. And Trump keeps delivering.

What people must understand is that Putin is only accelerating his attacks on Ukrainian civilians because he is completely confident that Trump has his back. The US could make Russia pay for these attacks, but Putin knows that Trump never will. It’s a sign of (perverse) trust.

No, russia's attack on Sumy wasn't 'a mistake.' No one accidentally uses a cluster munition warhead against a crowded city center on a major holiday. Neither was the bombing of the Kryvyi Rih playground a mistake, nor were the filmed murders of POWs. russia systematically uses terrorism as a weapon.

Trump's envoy Kellogg wants to divide Ukraine "like Berlin after WWII." This analogy is a moral travesty: 🔹 In 1945: Germany punished for starting a war. 🔹 In 2025: Ukraine punished for defending against one. Kellogg gives Putin what he couldn't win on the battlefield: legitimacy buff.ly/kSVtYVy

Trump's ceasefire efforts have been poorly choreographed from the start, treating Ukraine rather than Russia as the obstacle to peace. If you think there's still a chance that Putin will agree to end the fighting, take a look at the horrific war crimes committed in Sumy today.
