And to round the day off nicely here in Kyiv, at one minute to midnight the air raid sirens sound to announce tonight's nightly barrage of Russian kamikaze drones.

If the US could just set their clocks to Eastern European Time for the remainder of Trump's presidency that would be much appreciated cuz these news days are looooong.

What the US-Ukraine mineral deal actually means.

So after all that, we end up with a perfectly tolerable deal which has almost no connection to the vindictive bullshit Trump was saying about it.

Although he says otherwise, a Donald Trump deal was responsible for the disastrous US withdrawal from Afghanistan. And now he seems to be making a lot of the same mistakes with Ukraine and Russia. “The deal wasn’t a deal, it was a capitulation.”

⚡️Explosions reported in Kyiv. Explosions were heard in Kyiv around 10:45 p.m. local time, according to a Kyiv Independent journalist on the ground. Air defense has been active in the capital, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported. Ukraine's Air Force warned of the threat of Russian drone attacks.

With Trump taking all the limelight recently, it's easy to lose sight of the Ukrainian soldiers still fighting on the front lines. “It’s just meat, meat, meat,” one soldier said of Russia's assaults.

A lot of speculation why Trump is doing what he is. As I told @kyivindependent.com @chrisdyork.bsky.social on Thurs, there’s 3 options 1. Putting Europeans on notice (unlikely) 2. Splitting Russia from China (misguided) 3. Embracing the Dark side (nightmare). kyivindependent.com/how-ukraine-...

Trump is aiming to oust Zelensky. He said as much publicly, backchannel noises are even worse Its unlikely to play out the way he wants in Ukraine 🧵

Anyhoos, the guys that Marco Rubio is “convinced” are interested in peace are currently attacking half of Ukraine with kamikaze drones. Lots of explosions here is Kyiv from air defences.

Exactly 42 minutes after "peace" talks ended between the US and Russia in Saudi Arabia, an air raid alert has sounded in Kyiv due to the threat of Russian ballistic missiles.

If Marco Rubio comes out of talks with Lavrov and says anything other than “he’s lying and Russia can’t be trusted” then he’s been totally played.
