Ukraine regained control of 176 km² during Operation Vivaldi and stopped a Russian attempt to break into the rear of the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk area, Zelensky says. He said Russian losses exceeded 5,000 killed and wounded, with another 250 troops captured. #Ukraine

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

This will not end until America realises it can't win and retreats. And it may still not end there, but it might become more of a cold war; an uneasy but just-about-workable truce.

“The US president, Donald Trump, claimed to have had the suspects under view for a “long time” and alleged the men “were looking to do big damage” – although the Guardian understands the operation was not intelligence-led, suggesting investigators had not known about any potential plot in advance.”

So the sequence is not “we were watching them for a long time.” The sequence was: A neighbor calls 999 → British cops stop the vans → Trump claims the credit. If U.S. intel had them under view, show it. Name the agency. Say when the surveillance started. And why wouldn't the UK be thanking Trump?
