Wondering why Trump has been making such a big deal about Ukraine's rare earth metals? Minerals that are potentially available, at best, 10 years down the road. And at worst, may not be commercially viable to mine at all, considering none have been mined, to date, and all knowledge of their existence is based on 50 year old geological surveys done by the USSR.
One reason, according to Antonia Juhasz, is that it's actually a FOSSIL FUEL SHAKEDOWN.
Trump’s special envoy, Witkoff, is en route to Moscow — his plane has just crossed into Russian airspace
Update: His plane just landed in Moscow.
AI is being used to make memes about the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting instead of solving real issues. This says a lot about how misplaced our priorities are.
Still, this meme nails the awkward and tense vibe of their clash perfectly.

#Zelensky: "We are fighting for our independence. Therefore, we will not recognize any occupied territories as #Russia 's. This is a fact.
Our people have fought for this, our heroes died. How many injured, how many passed. No one will forget about it. This is the most important red line. We will not let anyone forget about this crime against #Ukraine"
On the Toretsk front, the 28th Brigade took out four “Blyatbarn-tanks” with a group of assault forces under its metal sheets. The column was caught in a fire trap, after which Ukrainian artillery and UAV pilots began eliminating the column.

"Russia will not agree to a 30-day ceasefire because it will just enable Ukraine to regroup and rearm"
- Russian MP Viktor Sobolev
He added that a temporary ceasefire is unacceptable and only plays into Ukraine's hands.

"The United States must convince Russia to do this [30-day ceasefire]. That is, we agree, and if the Russians agree, the ceasefire will start at that very moment"
- President Zelensky
Ukraine is ready to accept the U.S. proposal for an immediate 30-day ceasefire, extendable by mutual consent—pending Russia’s acceptance and implementation.
The U.S. is also lifting the pause on intelligence sharing and restoring security assistance to Ukraine.
