Where is Kiev in that? Trump is frustrated with Putin's aggression over that last 24 hours. As proven by his quote today. You don't have to like it, but Trump is frustrated with Putin at the moment.
So come on, what do you believe? What are your thoughts?

So no interest in answering even basic questions about your own beliefs. On anything.
Glad to know where you stand in even basic issues outside of parioting simple Putin propaganda.
You have to have thoughts on something. First amendment. Second amendment. Anything you disagree when compared to Russia..

1. you don't appear real sharp like most ukrosimping nits. 2. you appear to be trolling.
1 and 2 are not mutually exclusive.

I wonder if Putin has appeared in one of Glenn Greenwald's gay videos then again, it would be as a midget.

So total inability to answer even the total most basic of questions.... I would say it's surprising, but it really isn't.

Key Takeaways:
Russian officials continue to signal the Kremlin's uncompromising position ahead of proposed talks in Istanbul on June 2, suggesting that the upcoming Istanbul meeting is very unlikely to yield substantive results in support of an enduring peace in Ukraine.
Russian officials are pocketing major US concessions and continuing to make further demands of Ukraine and the West.
Russian forces recently advanced near Toretsk, Novopavlivka, and Kurakhove.

If the bill gets that same level of support in the house then it could be veto proof which may be what Trump wants. It would allow his team to claim impartiality during the peace negotiation process. His public support of the bill at this moment is ambiguous.

The volume of overdue debt on [Russian] mortgage loans increased by 9.6% in a month, the growth for the year is +96% .
As of May 1, the volume of overdue debt amounted to 125.5 billion rubles (+11 billion in a month) Source - Central Bank

The volume of overdue mortgages in Russia is now doubling every 6 months.
Mortgage lenders are technically insolvent already. But unlike 'loans' from the Treasury Reserve that immediately go to defense contractors, just making useless notations for the accounts, they can expect zero assistance from the Russian government on mortgage bailouts.
Right now, there is not a financial institution in Russia that is solvent with any level of reserves. Therefore, when the gold and foreign currency remaining in the Treasury Reserve runs out there will no longer be anything for the Russian contractors, Chinese or North Koreans. At that point, the pressure to sell oil will be even more than it is now as will be the vulnerability of this market.

Since when did the Russians have a military formation named Army Group? That’s a Western Term. The Russian equivalent of an Army Group is what they call a “Front”. And just as the Army Group is the latest maneuver in Western nations, the Front is the latest formation in Russian terms.
For those unfamiliar with military organization, here’s a rough breakdown:
Squad (10-12 men)
Platoon (4 squads)
Company (4 platoons)
Battalion (4 companies)
Brigade (3-5 battalions)
Division (3-5 brigades)
Corps (2-4 divisions)
Army (2-4 corps)
Army Group (2-4 armies)
*the composition of these formation can vary
Thus, an Army Group, or Front, is a truly gargantuan formation, usually in the ballpark of half a million men.
Having said all that, I ask, is this guy claiming the Russians have committed half a million men to the offensive around Sumy? I find that highly unlikely.

He believes what his Handlers tell him to believe.
Remember a couple of months ago when it was: "Zelensky is a war monger who doesn't want peace. He enjoys killing his fellow countrymen. He doesn't want peace because it will be the end of his graft. Ask yourself, why won't he agree to talks???"
Then when Putin refused to come to the table the message had to change:
"Zelensky is such a bitch. He's BEGGING for peace talks!!! He's losing! Why would Putin agree to peace talks when victory is at hand??? No reason to compromise when the Ukes will collapse any moment. Cry for peace you little bitch boy loser!!!!"
What would be funnier is to make him explain his back story. Where he's from. Family. Job. Education. Watch him try to lie his way through that.

Kiev mayor accuses #Zelenskyy of dismantling democracy under cover of war
Vitaliy #Klitschko, the mayor of Kiev, has issued a blunt condemnation of #Ukraine’s central government, accusing #Zelensky of exploiting the war to destroy democratic institutions. In an interview with The Times, Klitschko stated:
“This is the eradication of democratic principles and institutions, disguised as wartime necessity. I once said that there was a whiff of authoritarianism in our country. Now it stinks.”
Klitschko emphasized that local officials are under intense pressure from the central authorities. He noted that while many Ukrainian mayors are being intimidated, his international fame gives him a degree of protection:
“Many mayors are scared. But my celebrity status is a shield. You can fire the mayor of Chernigov, but it’s much harder to get rid of the mayor of the capital — someone the whole world knows.”

That terminology was used to describe the German battle structure in the invasion of Russia in WWII when the fighting was done by millions of men in huge armies. That’s what I think of anyway.

The emerging future of drone warfare.
I've mentioned this before, but as a fan of the writer Philip K. Dick (and the "Black Mirror" series, which draws heavily from his ideas)... this gives me pause.
Russia and its allies racing to in turn develop these things, but we know Russia wages war on the civilian population of their adversaries as much (or more) than the military, so these things hunting civilians, as they've been doing with UAVs in some oblasts... is not good.
