Quite a story about a Kenyan runner who ended up in Russia, and then a Ukrainian POW.
One wonders how many foreign soldiers Russia has in its army that have gotten there by less-than-voluntary means.

Interesting new content from @… on the two #RussiaUkraineWar summits this week. The outcome has not been a disaster for Ukraine.
One thing I would like to hear Anders’ take on is the seeming mounting suggestions of French/German soldiers being positioned in Ukraine. Likelihood in say, the next 6-12 months? What wartime conditions would be required? Where they would be? What they would do? What Russia's reaction would be? Would they be "NATO”?

Denmark not taking any chances nor sugar coating. Starting to think we could see at least a low level hot drone vs active counter-measures war between NATO and Russia by Christmas?😬

Seeing reports that uted at Zelenskyy on Friday and demanded he give up Donbas to Putin to end the war.
He is so beholden to Putin, it’s insane.
One day we will find out what exactly it is. Because can’t just be Trump “wanting to be a dictator” or “pee tapes”.
It just can’t be.

Maybe it wasn’t a waste of time after all.
““We were able to win the following concession: That the United States could offer Article 5-like protection, which is one of the real reasons why Ukraine wants to be in NATO,” Witkoff told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
But the question is, what about the territory?

3 out of 7 recommended news stories are about Trump failing.
I would be happier about it if it did not imply Putin was winning. This is bad for everyone, but especially Ukraine.
Trump’s ego, fealty, and idiocy is going to destroy the world if Europe, the Global South, and other democratic nations don’t take the reins from the USA.

Who sets a “deadline” for “10 or 12” days?
The point of a deadline is it is a clear point in time that must be met or not met.
Trump is so incredibly spineless.

The last time a Russian jet entered the sovereign airspace of a NATO country this is what happened... this was a 17 second violation (after multiple warnings by Turkish forces to the Russian jet to change course)

This is….. FASCINATING... watching on CNN.com live.
Macron is talking, with Trump to his left facing the camera. Zelensky is on the other side of the table.... Starmer is Macron's right.
Macron: we need a "Credible Army”
EUs “own security is at stake"
to Trump: ”You can count on us, as we can count on you”
Starmer: “Article 5 style guarantees”
"A historical step could be taken”
“Trilateral meeting seems a sensible next step”

You know what I haven't learned to say in Spanish? F off…
“Spain has not come through, Spain has not been loyal to NATO,” Trump said from the White House... Trump added, “I think Spain should be reprimanded for that. … But that’s up to NATO and Spain.”
¿Qué dirías tú, ciudadanos de España? :D
Muchas gracias!

Now THIS is interesting.
Christia Freeland, Minister of Transport and Internal Trade, posing for a photograph holding a Ukrainian made drone in a Ukraine factory.
Smells like a case of “we’re gonna give you this one job for internal politics, but you can still do XYZ on the side that you’re actually good at.”

y en El País
“El presidente de Estados Unidos reconoce que la decisión de castigar a España depende de la OTAN"

Whoa. Didn't have this on the bingo card. It puts the meeting with dad a few days ago, and the meet between staff people a couple weeks before, in a much different light.
A "working royal" probably could not do this, let alone the King, but Harry, especially with his military past, makes a lot of sense to be there on behalf of the royal family even if officially he isn't.
King Charles definitely sends different messages than his mother.

This ends up being a really interesting read about the challenges of a country to fight corruption while it tries to achieve everything it needs to do become part of the EU.
Moldova and Ukraine started the process together 2022. Imagine if they could actually achieve it together in 2028!
