Zelensky says the situation in Pokrovsk is ‘critical’ (he has some 5000 of his troops surrounded by the Russians) and so he will be speaking with the Europeans to come up with a plan within 7 days for … yes you guessed it - a new ceasefire proposal.

But he has doubts that Putin will accept it for some reason.

Putin agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing some 10,000 Ukrainian troops in total to just walk out of encirclements in Pokrovsk and Kupiansk?

Yeah, might be a bit of a stretch but that's where the Europeans come in. They just need to threaten Putin with some big long range missiles and he’ll crumble no doubt.

Back in the real world Lavrov reveals the truth that it was the Trump team that proposed to Putin that Zelensky give up Donetsk for peace and Putin agreed.

But Trump not only didn't follow up but totally flipped the script by cancelling the meeting he’d called for and placed new sanctions on Russia instead.

As a result the Russians are really mad and have had enough of Trump's bullshit. There is unlikely to be any more attempts at peace from the now completely discredited Trump team.


Meanwhile on the battlefronts yet another group of Ukrainian soldiers say what they really need, it’s not the western tech stuff, that’s long gone, what they are desperate for right now is cars, drones and men.

Zelensky knows the west can’t resupply Ukraine anymore. The only thing that can give any hope to turn this shit show around is hitting Russian civilian targets deep inside Russia to demoralise and have them begging for an end to the conflict.

But history shows that tactic actually only leads to increased determination by the civilian population, such as the British after the German bombing campaign early in WW2.

“ While the Ukrainian military also lacks prestigious Western-supplied weapons and equipment, soldiers and commanders say the shortage of basic resources — from cars to drones and people — makes it extremely difficult to hold back the relentless Russian offensives” The Kyiv Independent.

Everyone acknowledges now that western aid to Ukraine is in sharp decline, the main reason is that western stores are empty and monthly production amounts are far below what is actually needed.

So the talk centres instead on big items like jet fighters (Mirage and Gripens) and big missiles like Tomahawks, the problem is these weapons have delivery times measured in years. They are absolutely useless in aiding Ukraine when it really needs it, which is right now.

Ukraine does not have the time to wait for the west to increase production of arms and ammunition, nor does Ukraine have the time to mobilise and train another new army. And now the money is also running out.

It takes a real psychotic to keep holding on with no plan other than just waiting for a miracle while watching his own people die in their thousands week after week.
