Zelensky accused Trump of reaching agreements with Putin “behind Ukraine’s back” while Kyiv’s delegation is in Florida. He said the US is giving Russia “additional money to wage war” and called Ukraine’s team a “smokescreen” for a decision that is “unfair” and “not partner-like.” #Ukraine

❗️And here we are. Just like expected. A Ukrainian official claimed that during recent talks, US envoys Witkoff and Kushner threatened that Trump could cut off Ukraine from U.S. intelligence if it continued to ignore his requests to stop hitting Russian refineries, Axios tells. US denied. #Ukraine

Kremlin plans to use trains with grain as a cover for transporting industrial components needed to restore damaged Russian refineries. Putin personally assigned this task, as the port of Novorossiysk, which used to handle a significant share of grain exports, is currently out of order.

The missiles also flew in very large groups immediately towards their targets, w/out changing course much, completely overwhelming Ukrainian air defences. The Kh-101 cruise missiles impacted 3 cities - Kremenchuk (Poltava Oblast), Pryluky (Chernihiv Oblast), and Oleksandriya (Kirovohrad Oblast).

During the large-scale Russian missile attack on Ukraine, the interception rate of Kh-101 cruise missiles was unusually low - one of the lowest so far this year. Out of roughly 48 Kh-101 cruise missiles launched, reports can only confirm around 10 interceptions, mainly by fighter jets.

The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.
