Russia sees Trump’s 50-day window as a green light to keep up brutal offensive in Ukraine
President Trump has effectively handed Vladimir Putin an extraordinary green light: 50 days to finish off his brutal summer offensive in Ukraine before facing any consequences.

Putin took Trump for granted.
Trump will make him pay for it.
Trump’s announcement on Monday about aid to Ukraine proves once again that he is nothing if not thin- skinned.

If Trump has been consistent about one thing throughout his tumultuous, decade-long political career,
it is support for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and skepticism of Ukraine.
In 2014, Trump praised Putin’s illegal seizure of Crimea
— a prelude to Russia’s full-blown invasion of Ukr…

Putin took Trump for granted. He’s going to pay for his mistake.
After the president’s startling, welcome shift on Ukraine, there’s more to do.

A Tribunal in Waiting That Cannot Touch Vladimir Putin — for Now | Portside

Donald Trump is taking the fight to Vladimir Putin. Sort of. For now.
Trump’s deference to Russia’s authoritarian leader has been one of the most enduring geopolitical subplots of the past decade.
But his frustration with Putin has grown.
Last week, the president said the United States was taking “a lot of bullshit” from Putin.
Today, he authorized a significant shipment of U.S. defensive weapons to Ukraine via NATO and threatened Russia with new tariffs if the war…

Russian Ex-Transport Minister Found Dead Hours After Putin Dismissal
Russia's former transport minister Roman Starovoit has been found dead with a gunshot wound in his personal car, just hours after being dismissed by President Vladimir Putin amid mounting corruption

From the BBC News website:
After a phone-call with Russia's Vladimir Putin last week, Trump said he was "not happy" that progress had not been made towards ending the war, and he has since complained that Putin's "very nice" attitude turned out to be meaningless.

Ukraine to receive US Patriot air defence systems, says Trump
The US president says he will sell weapons to Nato, which would then give them to Ukraine.

In a social media post, Trump said there were many unspecified meetings about the issue happening and encouraged the two countries to make a deal. #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #minimarket #America #AmericaNews #trump #Ukraine #russia #UkraineW…

"There's one way to end this war. You say to Vladimir Putin:
If you don't stop this war, and we agree to the ceasefire terms I dictate, we are bringing Ukraine into NATO within 30 days. Which part of that sentence don't you understand? Do you want to mess with me? Test me.
That's how you end this war."

"Vladimir Putin is not looking for a cease-fire, and he does not want to negotiate. Why? Because he believes that he can win. Thanks to the actions of the U.S. government, he still thinks that he can conquer all of Ukraine"

America's Great Realignment Toward Putin
Donald Trump is giving Vladimir Putin every incentive to keep killing Ukrainians.

- Subservient chicken. (Putin is surprisingly hip to American pop culture.)

"On Monday morning, President Vladimir Putin sacked his transport minister, Roman Starovoit.
By the afternoon Starovoit was dead; his body was discovered in a park on the edge of Moscow with a gunshot wound to the head. A pistol, allegedly, beside the body."
Now there is a sacking Russian style

Trump said on Thursday that a phone call earlier in the day with Vladimir Putin
resulted in "no progress at all"
on efforts to end the war in Ukraine,
while a Kremlin aide said the Russian president reiterated that Moscow would keep pushing to solve the conflict’s “root causes.”

America's Great Realignment Toward Putin
Donald Trump is giving Vladimir Putin every incentive to keep killing Ukrainians.

Ever-escalating Russian drone attacks and the concern that Ukraine will be split up under a future peace plan
have cast a shadow over a meeting of European leaders to plan for the eventual reconstruction of the country.
The conference is the fourth in this format and is being attended by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Poland’s Donald Tusk.
It comes at a time of unprecedented pressure on the Ukrainian economy as Vladimir Putin wide…
