#Ukraine: 6. If correct, this is an interesting analysis of the might of Europe + UA against the other blocks. EU + UA have the same advantage in planes, artillery, tanks & men. Security at the White House had to remove uncredited RU TASS reporter from the press briefing with Zelensky yesterday.

#Ukraine: 3. Yesterday, #Trump, speaking at the White House after the disastrous meeting with #Zelensky, clearly thinks UA should still keel over & surrender to RU. Before leaving the US, Zelensky made good points on Fox News: bsky.app/profile/noel...

#Ukraine: 2. Earlier in the day, #Zelensky's plane landed at #London's Stanstead airport. Interesting to see #Zelensky carried his own 2 suitcases off the plane - a measure of the man. #Starmer to host a meeting tomorrow of EU leaders +Zelensky.

#Ukraine: 10. On #Pokrovsk front, despite massive losses, RU forces continue to press forward. UA struck a massive RU thermobaric ammo depot at Seledove. Interesting UA overlay from @chuckpfarrer.bsky.social (& combat map) on US eastern seaboard. Would US give this away? bsky.app/profile/anto...

#Ukraine: 6. Musk said on X after today's events, "Zelensky destroyed himself in the eyes of the American people." Senator Lindsey Graham, who has praised #Zelensky in the past, told Fox News how "proud he was of President Trump", adding, "Zelensky either has to change or go."

#Ukraine: 5. To try & humiliate #Zelensky further, Brian Glenn from pro-Trump network "Real America's Voice" (reportedly Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend), who has replaced AP in the White House press corp, asked (planned?) "Why don't you wear a suit?" Nobody asks Musk! bsky.app/profile/noel...

#Ukraine: 4. Even on #Zelensky's arrival at White House, #Trump managed to give an insult disguised as a "compliment," remarking on Zelensky's trademark combat gear. Winston Churchill seen here at the White House NOT wearing a suit because he was at war: bsky.app/profile/anto...

#Ukraine: 10. #UK's former Defence Minister, Ben Wallace, scathing about the US/UA minerals deal - "It is total extortion!" Yesterday was 11th anniversary of RU's invasion of #Crimea on Feb 26 2014 when RU forces came out of #Sevastopol naval base, blocked roads & forced parliament to cede to RU.

#Ukraine: 8. UA's "special sanctions," i.e. drone attacks on oil refineries, are making a difference. RU has banned gasoline exports between March 1st & August 31st to protect the RU fuel market.

#Ukraine: 4. #Ireland is 1 of 15 countries in a de-mining coalition pledging $732 million to #Kyiv for the purchase of demining equipment by 2034. Even if fighting stopped today, 53,800 sqmls of UA are contaminated with explosives & it will take 10 yrs & $35 billion to clear.
