Republican strategist Bryan Lanza said that Kyiv must drop legal claims to get Crimea back as part of Trump's strategy to bring peace to Eastern Europe.

There's supposedly a paper written by two national security chiefs when Trump was around that he should continue to help Kyiv, but on the condition that Moscow and Kyiv are involved in peace talks.

----

BBC updated it to mention Lanza doesn't work for the party anymore and a Trump rep mentioned that he doesn't speak for him.

Nah, we are going to see a repeat of the peace talks with NK, whose leader after talking with trump ditched the whole thing. trump wants a nobel peace prize so he can brag not only obama got one, but his negotiation skills don't scale up to the international level, heck, he can't negotiate shit among equals.

Peng Chenliang aka Farias was reportedly to be killed in Eastern Ukraine, fighting under the 1st Battalion International Legion.

He's one of the few mainland Chinese volunteers who were able to fight with the Ukrainian Army.

He was an ex-drone instructor, who was detained for "picking fights" after he posted social media posts in Chinese for supporting Ukraine and condemning Russia.

Sources I've picked up are in Chinese though.

United 24 has a summary on what's happening in Kursk.

It also includes the five objectives

- Deny Russia the use of Kursk to launch another offensive
- Distract Russian military from all directions
- Create security zone/prevent Ukrainian towns/cities nearby from being attacked
- Capture many Russian soldiers as much as possible
- Boost Ukrainian morale

Ukrainian troops captured Russian troops who went to Kupiansk. A BTR APC somehow went there and the Ukrainians were quick to capture all of them.

WARNING: You can hear some beatings take place in the vid and some Russian guy crying.

Nexta got audio from a supposed phone call made by Prigozhin to Minsk prior to the Wagner mutiny. It's subtitled, but it's not authenticated. Although peeps have said that it's significant.

Nobody seems to have noticed, but the ruble has falled below the 100 rubles per dollar psychilogical barrier, as was to be expected since all the economicals measures taken were merely band-ais to prevent an hemorrague. Russians aty large might get tired of winning and do something, just saying.

Do they even export much of anything beside oil a gaz? A country can run sor some time on a war-economy but it isn't healthy.

Weapons, and the Ukraine invasion has mas many countries rethink their longterm strategy "hmm, should I buy one t90 tank or 9,000 heavy drones?". Take Vietname for example, if china invades they would no doubt use the same tactics Ukraine is using atm.
