Response efforts are still underway after last night’s Russian shelling. The Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Odesa regions came under the heaviest attack. In particular, energy infrastructure was targeted — work is currently ongoing to restore everything
ISW: Putin remains silent, but Kremlin mouthpieces reject Trump’s latest war ultimatum Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov called Trump’s 50-day ceasefire deadline “unacceptable” while Putin has yet to officially respond to the ultimatum
Trump offered to sell not two but five Patriot SAMs to Ukraine to German Chancellor Merz. Trump called Merz on his cell phone late at night to offer to increase the number of systems for Ukraine after watching videos of Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian cities
We buy time with US weapons — but that won’t last forever. Russia won’t stop if we keep the status quo. Let’s finally step up. Let’s stop waiting. Let’s help Ukraine win — and help Europe stay free

– Increase investment in Ukraine’s defense industry
– Maintain financial aid
– Strengthen and enforce sanctions on Russia
– Send instructors and logistics support to Ukraine

Systematic use of chemical weaponry by Russia in Ukraine continues. My interview/report from the front line for Times Radio.
