Moscow says its troops have repelled Ukraine offensive in Russia's Kursk region

Fairly easy to verify this: they published the video of the FPV drones systematically taking out the armored columns (not that they were very big).

Look at a map: this is about them realizing the 'neck' of this foolish incursion is increasingly at threat.

Putin has stated explicitly there won't be any negotiations over parts of the Sudzha district, trading in chips or horse trading in general. Moreover, he indicated no negotiations are possible while there are vast, huge, massive, all-powerful, uber strong UAF formations in the Kursk border region - they will have to be expelled first, he said, and this could take a very, very, very long time.

Meanwhile, the main event on the main line of contact continues (look at the size of that Oskil river bridgehead - a huge chunk carved out in the last 24 hours).

where are UA winning lines?

some people may feel upset...

?

Trump has yet to bring Putin to the negotiating table. Going to take weapons to do so.

That's not Trump's job. It's Zelensky's remember.

Trump has yet to bring Putin to the negotiating table. "

No need to worry too much, papa Trump will deliver the ceasefire talks in good time.

Going to take weapons to do so."

Pro war crowd wanting more weapons to prolong the conflict comes as no surprise.

It's the anti-war crowd saying that Ukraine needs to get weapons to get Putin to peace talks.

Donald Trump decision to pull out of future milltary aid to Ukraine has stated Europe must take responsibility for its own security.

All EU member states, UK, have a decision to make, fully support the people of Ukraine, stand up to despot Putin or suffer the consequences.

Trump solution will hand huge swaths of Ukraine sovereign territory over to despot Putin war criminal illegal invasion. Putin will be embolden to threatens Poland, every former soviet satellite state.

Now, are we going to witness Europe's betrayal of the people of Ukraine?

I fear so.

Simple choice for Europe, fully arm stand with Ukraine, its people or again appease a tyrant despot dictator.

I fear Europe will choose cowardness hoping the Russian crocodile won't eat them last.

Remember, never forget, it did not end well did it!!!!!!

"It's the anti-war crowd saying that Ukraine needs to get weapons to get Putin to peace talks."

Nope, MIC pro war camp is the one asking for more weapons to prolong the war.

You sound like Fos on his silly MIC rants. I'm not part of MIC and I too want peace.

The average Ukrainian wants peace.

So do I. And security guarantees.

Great to see Trump is on the case and will hopefully deliver ceasefire talks soon.

I'm not holding my breath.

" I'm not part of MIC and I too want peace."

That may be but still doesn't change the fact it is the pro MIC / pro war crowd

This doesn't exist. Nobody is pro MIC except for people who waork there.

that wants more weapons to prolong this conflict.

The weapons will shorten the conflict and will get Putin to the peace table.

Ukraine gets 20% of its weapons from the US, but it makes 40% of its own weapons. So cutting US weapons won't stop the war, it will just mean that the evil Russians will kill more Ukrainians.

At the end of Biden's watch they also pushed for Ukrainian mobilization age to be lowered to 18

Yes. Like Russia. Like the US (actually 17 in US).

and send more young boys to die for MIC interest$.

No relation to MIC. It is to fix a manpower problem.

"The average Ukrainian wants peace....So do I. And security guarantees."

I think Ukraine will get security guarantees, just not NATO membership.

If Trump can pull that off, I would congratulate him. 200,000 troops in Ukraine minimum.

Great to see Trump is on the case and will hopefully deliver ceasefire talks soon.....I'm not holding my breath.

Important to remain positive. Peace is getting closer.

The way Trump is bungling things at the moment (like the loss he had on his tariffs on Mexico and Canada), I don't remain positive.

*Ukraine gets 30% of its weapons from the US, but it makes 40% of its own weapons.

*Ukraine gets 30% of its weapons from the US, but it makes 40% of its own weapons.

That is completely false, if not an absurdity to say the least. The big US industrial military complex will not allow it, everybody understands that, even elementary school kids in Ukraine. Washington has shipped over $110 billions dollars since the start of the conflict and that is why Wall Street is on historical highs. 

And on top of that Trump is asking for access to rare earth minerals in Ukraine. 

Please read recognized news agencies and NOT the White House military dispatches. We all know the US administration has a long track record of spinning false narratives

On top of that the Ukrainian government made it clear that BlackRock, which manages more than $8 trillions in assets, is overseeing its reconstruction process. In a speech to a US corporate lobby group, Ukraine's Zelensky thanked Black Rock, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Elon Musk's Starlink, promising: “Everyone can become a big business by” buying up Ukrainian assets.

Moral: the only reason the US administration intervened in Ukraine was for its sole and exclusive economic interests, not out of solidarity with the local people or spirit of generosity.

Incorrect. The same was said about all of the superior gamechangers NATO supplied until now. Proven false and only led to more casualties.

The facts are that russia fails at war all of the time and weapons can make that failure possible.

Ukrainians aren't dumb enough to fall for another Budapest memorandum that russia can violate.
