[10:13] How Trump’s call invited Putin to the feast, and put ‘Europe on the menu’

Russian President Vladimir Putin refused to accept President Donald Trump’s offer for a full 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine after their much vaunted call. The Kremlin nonetheless extolled the trust between the two leaders as ushering in a “new world order.” Mr Putin instead offered Trump a partial ceasefire - ending attacks on the Russian energy infrastructure being targeted by Ukraine’s long-range drones, as well as Moscow’s strikes on Ukraine’s power grid - with the other issues delegated to working groups. This deal would create the likelihood that peace efforts could become bogged down for months as Russia continues pushing into Ukraine three years after Moscow’s full-scale invasion. Mr Trump’s conversation with Putin appeared to signal Russia’s re-emergence as one of a handful of great powers deciding the fates of smaller nations, recognizing a role for Moscow in resolving global conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere. It continued a theme of making major decisions affecting Ukraine when Kyiv is absent from the table.

A messege to all #Europeans. Remember not to be indifferent to #Russian #propaganda here and everywhere else. We have to fight. #War is not only about battles, but also about information.

#Europe stay strong!

Ignore the lies from the #trump administration. Former #russian president #Medvedev accurately described the phone call between Trump and #putin a complete sellout of #Ukraine and the #European #allies.

Shame on everyone who continues to enable Trump.

[09:45] ‘Putin unwilling to make concessions’ in efforts to end Russia’s war on Ukraine – EU foreign policy chief

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Wednesday that Moscow cannot be trusted, after a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin resulted in a Russian agreement to stop attacking Ukrainian energy facilities temporarily.

Boris #Johnson cites #Trump's pathetic and utter humiliation in bowing to the #russian #dictator.

Within hours of the #US call for a full #ceasefire, the #russian #dictator responded with a large-scale attack on multiple regions of #Ukraine, targeting civilian infrastructure, homes, and healthcare facilities—terrorizing cities in an assault that lasted into the early hours.

#putin has made it clear that he seeks only to prolong this #war. The world cannot allow him to dictate the terms of #peace.

If it really is what the #Kremlin says that #ceasefire will be on #Russian conditions, #Trump has sold #democracy, #freedom, #Ukrainian nation for money and internal politics. #America is no longer a leader of the #freeWorld. The #EU is. Vive la #Europe!

[02:20] Calls to 'block' Russia attempt to prolong war - Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had effectively rejected a US proposal for a full ceasefire, and urged the world to block any attempts by Russia to drag out its war against Ukraine.

[23:17] Trump and Putin agree 30-day ceasefire on energy infrastructure in Ukraine conflict

Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Tuesday to temporarily stop attacking Ukrainian energy facilities but declined to endorse a full 30-day ceasefire that President Donald Trump hoped would be the first step toward a permanent peace deal.

#Russian #VladimirPutin #Tuesday #Ukrainian #30_day #DonaldTrump #first

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.
