Nice of Russia to give the U.S. tentative permission to offer military defense assurances to U.S. allies.UKR media says CNN is quoting Witkoff saying "yeah, RUS budged a bit ..."
From the piece:
Witkoff: Putin Agrees to NATO-Style Security Guarantees for Ukraine, Makes Concessions on 5 Regions
US envoy says Putin accepted protections similar to NATO’s Article 5 for Ukraine and eased demands on five regions, marking a “major breakthrough” in Alaska talks with Trump.www.kyivpost.com
After speaking to EU bosses, UKR's President issued a statement today, and in public, he sounds optimistic right now ....
Reminder: we see how effective less-than-Article-5 security assurances from the 1994 "Give Up Your Nukes, UKR, and the US'll Have Your Back If Needed" memorandum, but hope springs eternal, I guess. We'll see ...

For some reason I always think of this clip whenever I see her descending from an airplane.
Putin? Probably the same
Maybe she could have the courage of convictions to clearly mention just which kids she’s thinking of..?Ladies and gentlemen, the clincher, right here ....

Good-ish news? Need to wait and see if the other hand of the admin contradicts what Rubio has now made public. Still unclear what the "not all" entails though, the Fortress Belt is still there and likely just happens to be the part Russia wants most.

They shouldn’t support handing any of it over.

I am in absolute awe in how utterly compromised the GOP has become, and how cowardly to borderline useless the fossils running the democrats have turned into. It's no wonder there is a rather large chunk of the American population that feel politically homeless.
This is mess will take decades to fix, if ever.

Well at least she is better written than her husband. Pointless letter, but I give it marks for being one of the more diplomatic things that has come out of this administration. I suspect she would make a better VP than Vance.Ladies and gentlemen, the clincher, right here ....

Credit where due, for sure, but I suspect FLOTUS47 is generally smarter than a LOT of the White House put together. They better hope she continues to stay onside.

Explain to me why Italy is sitting at the table during this latest WH meeting?
Italy has really given sweet p*ss all to Ukraine over the course of the war.
Italy is there simply because it gives Trump softer, prettier, toned down version of Hungary sitting at the table.
Poland should be sitting at that table, that's who's really missing from this. Once again Poland, its interests and its efforts are being ignored by the West.
