Let's see what this will bring. A long ceasefire would be catastrophic: The Russia currently cannot train its soldiers, because they keep losing troops a little bit faster than they can hire new ones. If they can have a pause from the fighting, they can use the pause for training a large amount of soldiers so that they will be much more efficient in battle than they have been until now.

Just one month... It would probably still not give enough strength for the Russia.

Ukraine still controls part of the Russia's territory in the Kursk province. This makes Putin unlikely to want a ceasefire that would freeze the front into a de facto international border. My guess is that Ukraine is hoping for the Russia to decline the offer, because the Russia cannot accept a ceasefire where Ukraine would retain some of actual Russian territory. If Ukraine is unlucky and the Russia somehow does accept the ceasefire, then in 30 days they can continue fighting and hope that the Russia will collapse. If Russians decline the offer, Trump might feel betrayed by Putin who had promised him we really really wants peace. That will probably shift USA's favour towards Ukraine.

If there will be a serious large-scale attack directly against EU as a whole, the politic will will appear.

True! Then the company that no longer sells fuel to USA will make less profit when selling fuel to USA! What a punishment!

He's actually went and said that?! Where? 😳

I don't think this one was dementia. Qt least not primarily. He's used to gaslighting in his personal life, and here he's simply gaslighting the whole world on television. If there's some dementia to this, then that is not to understand that you cannot gaslight a million people at once, because the point of gaslighting is to make its victim think they are going crazy and imagining things.

Though... Can it be that for the MAGA audience this gaslighting does work and they really will believe Trump has never called Zelenskyj a dictator?

In Ukrainian cats (кіт / kit) and whales (кит / kyt) are the same thing, if you ask my ears. As are being hungry (голодний / holodnyj) and cold (холодний / kholodnyj).

I can never know if their whale is hungry or if their cat feels cold.

Regarding difference in vowel length... Use a machine translator of your choice and translate these two phrases from Finnish to your mother tongue:

  • Tapaan sinut.
  • Tapan sinut.

Safe travels!

From a farmer who had a donkey? Those are animals that exist. I don't really know why people have donkeys, but for a reason or another, they do. And are able to sell them.

Maybe someone has them just as a hobby, like other people have horses? Not a common thing, that's for sure, but a phenomenon that can exist.

Also, you can see the donkey on the video, so I'd say it does exist.

According to this, the French intelligence assumes the Russian artillery shell production to be 3,7 million per year. That translates to quite precisely 10 000 shells per day. Here's the image that shows the numbers:

There's indeed been a campaign for destroying the Russian logistics. A lot of trucks have been targeted in the last week or so.

This looks like an exercise you'll be doing for the rest of your life. Jump left, jump front, jump right, dive down. Until the end of your days about 25 seconds later.

But, maybe it helps the soldiers feel safe, so they are less likely to revolt before it's too late?

 

The text manages to be quite surprising to me.

There was talk about USA wanting a share of Ukraine's mineral wealth, but this agreement looks more like an agreement about funding of Ukraine's reconstruction. It says that half of all income that Ukraine will free from the Russia will have to be put in this fund, but if the fund will be used for reconstructing Ukraine, how does this benefit USA?

Maybe it can be used for building mines for American companies, for them to use for free? Or maybe the fund can be liquidated and the money shared between Ukraine and USA?

But, my untrained eye cannot really recognize whatever shenanigans there might be hidden in the text.
