‼️The orange freak cannot do enough to please his master Pootin ...the U.S. fast becoming Russia's best friend 💩
The U.S. may withdraw from efforts to prosecute Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, raising concerns for a proposed tribunal involving 40 countries. This marks a shift from previous policies labeling Russia as the aggressor, potentially undermining the tribunal's credibility. Ongoing discussions among European nations focus on its viability without U.S. support. 🇺🇸⚖️

In addition to the 25 new LAV III vehicles, Trudeau is pledging two armoured combat-support vehicles for Ukrainian troops, who will be trained in Germany “shortly” to use the machines.
He says Canada will provide four F-16 flight simulators in addition to systems for the fighter jet that were recently delivered to Ukraine.
The new $5 billion in funds is the first instalment of revenues from frozen Russian assets, after years of Ottawa promising to forfeit holdings associated with Russia’s government and its oligarchs. Canada has been pushing Europeans to forfeit Russian funds held in frozen European accounts, or at least the interest accrued since the full-scale invasion.
Trudeau says Canada will continue training Ukrainian troops, so that Russia will not be allowed to end the world order that upheld sovereignty for many countries for decades.
“Once a just peace is secured, Canada stands at the ready to work with our partners around the world to provide Ukraine the security it needs for the peace to last, allowing it to recover, rebuild, and prosper,” he said.
“We can’t wait. The moment to stop this war of aggression, the moment to defend democracy, the moment to stand for our shared values — is now. So let us seize it.”
FYI Canada is chairing the G7 group of countries this year.

AID CONTINUES TO FLOW FROM EUROPEAN ALLIES AS RUSSIA “DOUBLE SPEAKS”.
Canada and the Ukrainians signed a deal to assemble Roshel Senator APC’s in- country. Denmark contributed another €202m in aid to the construction of Bodhana artillery systems.
The Dutch government confirmed 12 of the 19 F-16’s
had been delivered and the other 7 would come this year.
13 European leaders stood in person with President Zelensky while many more including Prime Minister Keir Starmer attended via video. All offered their unequivocal support for Ukraine.
Meanwhile President Macron tried his best with 47 to Explain in person, that Putin will not stick to a treaty unless there are security guarantees. Who knows if he got through on a day when for the first time in history the US voted with Russia and its allies agains the west and democracy, refusing to condemn the invasion - and in its third anniversary.
Meanwhile public pronouncements being issued from Moscow make it clear Russian sees its ultimate objective as complete subjugation of Ukraine, that it won’t countenance even a ceasefire without the surrender of territory, and there will never be a full peace until Ukraine is subjugated.
47 simply wants the war to stop so that he can say he did his part and what he said. The quality of the deal is irrelevant to him.
Russia is busy trying to coerce and co-opt American business partners to revive its economy.
Meanwhile Russia has no intention of stopping its war economy or slowing down. Recent reporting shows that Putins regime is so bothered about demobilisation and the full extent of conditions on the front coming home with the truth, and a lot of angry, likely unemployed men with combat experience wandering Russia, it is loathe to let it happen.
A ceasefire would allow a regrouping, repositioning and re-equipping and that’s all they see it as useful for.
47 is being led into a trap and he knows it but doesn’t care. As long as he does what he says, after that he washes his hands of the whole thing.
Ukraine is being sold out by America. Europe has to stop it. Finally it seems, it understands that and is working together to make sure it doesn’t happen.
Nobody in Europe is afraid of 47 any more. We see him for what he is. We will not become victims of his bullying and lies, nor will we let Ukraine face the future alone!

⚡️ EU officially adopts 16th package of sanctions against Russia.
The new measures, announced on the third anniversary of the all-out war, target Russia's "shadow fleet" of oil tankers, banks, aluminum imports, and other sectors.
"For three years now, Russia has relentlessly bombed Ukraine, attempting to steal land that isn’t theirs to take," the EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said in a statement.

In the animal world. After the drone arrives at the opponent's "box," the Russian occupier walks by his burning and writhing comrade as if nothing had happened. The sponsor of the video is KFC, filmed with the support of the strike drone unit "Skelyar" of the 4th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.

It has been reported that a launch unit 9A83 from the S-300V air defense system was destroyed somewhere in the Zaporizhzhia region.
According to the description, a UAV (likely a "Baba-Yaga" type bomber) destroyed the unit and then landed to "observe." Unfortunately, the distance to the target is unknown, but it is obviously not small.
😁👍

In 6 months, Ukraine will have a shortage of weapons if the US stops aid, stopping the supply of weapons is the most powerful lever of Trump's influence on us, - former Foreign Minister Kuleba
In turn, WSJ writes that the West believes that Kyiv, without US military assistance, will be able to conduct hostilities at the current pace only until the summer. The Armed Forces of Ukraine risk being left without ammunition, will lose the ability to use some types of long-range weapons.
