What is the Western Alliance waiting for? The United States to reverse trajectory? Suddenly not become a hostile power. Suddenly toss the Russia play-book? Suddenly stop destroying decades of trade agreements and security arrangement?

It's a fucking hostile power. Why is it being appeased like it's 1938?

Move fast. Move hard. Sanction it. Isolate it. Show strength for fuck sake. This fantasy of a return to 2020, like it will all reverse magically in 2028, will end in disaster and we all know what form that will take.

Forget tarrifs in response. We should just nationalise exxonmobil Aust and fix the tax loopholes for the multinationals…ooh and ban the use of z for s.

Surely that would be an election winner. Oh and a Murdoch hanging….one may dream #auspol #uspol

The statement from the White House on Trump's call with #Putin suggests that #Trump has backed down on his demand for an immediate ground, air and sea truce.

Instead, Putin has agreed to halt long-range missile strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

This was, in fact, a #Ukrainian proposal that the Americans side-stepped a week ago.

Trump and Putin also appear to have agreed to immediate technical-level talks toward a longer-term settlement. The #Kremlin said this must be "complex, stable and long-term in nature".

However, it's not clear if this means further talks between the US and Russia or bilateral negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

But, crucially, Putin has placed a major condition on this - one that is existential for Ukraine.

The Kremlin statement reads that a key stipulation for "preventing the escalation of the conflict and working toward its resolution" should be "the complete cessation of foreign military aid and sharing intelligence with Kyiv".

Putin has already tasted Trump's readiness to cut off US support to Ukraine, and is trying to get him to repeat it - while tossing the ball back to Kyiv to agree to a far more limited truce than Trump had demanded they sign up to.

BBC NewsUkraine war latest: Fresh Ukraine talks to begin 'immediately', White House says after Trump-Putin callThe Kremlin says the two presidents had a "frank exchange of opinions" after the call, which lasted at least 90 minutes.

In his first response to the #Trump #Putin call, President #Zelensky made clear he would support any end to #Russian #attacks on his country’s #energy #infrastructure.

That is no surprise because it was part of his own plan. But that’s the key point: the Russian offer is only part of the interim ceasefire plan the US and Ukraine had agreed.

Putin, he said, was still setting out “additional conditions” before he would agree a ceasefire and that showed Russia was “not ready to finish this war”.

Zelensky insisted Western powers would continue giving Ukraine military aid – despite Russian demands that they stop.

And he also said Russian demands for #Ukraine to be prevented from rearming during a ceasefire was just designed to weaken its armed forces.

As Zelensky gave his press briefing, #airraid sirens rang out across Kyiv. The irony was not lost on anybody including Zelensky who said it once again showed Russia could not be trusted.
