Well, Russian propagandists and Putin are laughing at the US . Putin needs this War to continue to survive in office, as long as war mongering Russians support the SMO. Putins terms are, 1/ lift all sanctions 2/ no more arms shipments or intelligence from West 3/ Ukraine must surrender all so called four oblasts to Russia 4/ Ukraine must disarm 5/ Ukraine must have a Moscow puppet President 6/ Ukrainians must join Russian Armed Forces for Putin's next SMO "denazification of Baltics" Remember they has valiant SS formations that give Stalin's Reds a tough time. Well, that was after Germans liberated them from Communist tyranny. Reds invaded in 1939/ murdered 100K + civilians. Reality, Ukraine is about to get 40 B euros in military aid from Europe/ more from Australia/ NZ/ Canada/ Japan/ S. Korea/ US Merz will supply Taurus, finally, at least one German leader with kahoonies! Europe wants this War to end in Ukraine proper, with total Russian defeat. They know, if the creep Putin succeeds in Ukraine, Baltics are next, WW3. Zelenskyy and Budanov now have drones that can hit targets 2000kms away, plus missiles that reach 1200kms. With this arsenal they can play oil/ gas refinery BINGO, hit two every nite. The game plan, follow the $$$, if you incinerate 2-3 storage tanks each nite, adds upto billions in lost revenue. In the USA, 2% (probably Russians) support Putin and his criminal regime, 65% now are fully behind Zelenskyy/ Ukraine. The rest do not know or care either way. So for President Trump to bolster his approval, its so easy, increase US sanctions, send Ukraine air defense missiles and tomahawk missiles. Plus it will show Xi Jinping not to mess around, and Iran.
