Good morning. With the addition of 4 tankers out of New Jersey, there are now at least 32 tankers observed in the overnight group. A considerable portion went to Morón Air Base in Spain, with others on to UK, Germany, Italy and 1 to Estonia. A few pressed on to CENTCOM AOR.

A pointer for journalists writing recaps of the Trump-Pu call: the call made no progress towards ending the war. Pu refused an unconditional ceasefire and repeated Ru’s 2022 objective of conquering Ukraine. Trump didn’t pressure Pu but stuck to the strategy of trying to coax w a Ru-US reset promise.

I've been reading about the planned 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner of war exchange between Ukraine and Russia. It's striking that three categories are involved: civilians, soldiers—and CHILDREN. Once again, Russia has stolen Ukrainian children to fully treat them as hostages.
