The political facade of the pro-Kiev coalition is crumbling as Western support wavers and Ukrainian forces face irreversible defeats on the battlefield. The latest Ramstein meeting, now co-chaired by Germany and Britain without the dominant U.S. presence, underscored the growing fatigue among Ukraine’s backers.
Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin refused to attend in person, joining only via video link—a clear signal of Washington’s diminishing enthusiasm to pay for war in Europe. The desperate Ukrainian leader could not claim anything new except to demand more weapons, especially air defense systems, in particular, American Patriot systems. Germany’s pledge of IRIS-T systems, a handful of missiles, and outdated Leopard tanks only highlighted Europe’s inability to sustain meaningful military aid without Washington. The absence of substantial commitments from other participants confirmed what many already suspected: Ukraine’s arsenal is running dry, and its allies are losing interest.
Meanwhile, behind-the-scenes diplomacy between Moscow and Washington has sent shockwaves through Kiev. Reports of Trump’s envoy, Steven Witkoff, coming to St. Petersburg to meet with President Putin have fueled panic. The lack of official denials from Russia and the vague statements about “diplomatic engagement” only deepen the assurance that Ukraine’s fate is being decided without its input. The recent U.S.-Russia consultations in Istanbul, which deliberately avoided any mention of Ukraine in their bland official readouts, further suggest a looming backroom deal. Ukrainian experts fear that Washington and Moscow are negotiating a ceasefire at Kiev’s expense, with Zelensky’s regime increasingly seen as an obstacle to peace rather than a partner.
On the frontlines, the situation is even more dire. Russian forces have crushed Ukraine’s incursions into Kursk and Belgorod, with the remnants of ground down Ukrainian brigades now fleeing in disarray. The strategic Gornal Monastery turned into a stronghold where Ukrainian troops had dug in, is now being abandoned under relentless Russian fire. Drone footage confirms columns of retreating soldiers scrambling toward Sumy, only to face artillery barrages and executions by their own nationalist “barrier troops” for desertion. Meanwhile, the Russian army is already in control of at least four Ukrainian settlements in this direction.
With Russian troops just 25 km away from Sumy, a full-scale offensive looms. Ukrainian generals admit that they lack the reserves to hold the line, as Moscow’s forces are establishing a buffer zone near its border. Unconfirmed reports of North Korean troops bolstering the Russian assaults have further demoralized Kiev’s exhausted army.
As Washington and Moscow inch toward negotiations, Zelensky’s regime faces annihilation—both militarily, under Russia’s impending summer offensive, and politically, as the West abandons its failed proxy. The only question left is whether Kiev’s surrender will be negotiated over its head or dictated on the battlefield.

“the only question left is whether kiev’s surrender will be negotiated over its head or dictated on the battlefield.”
likely both options, in combination.
“i know israel,” he said in the times of israel interview. “i know people there.”

why did the author mention lloyd austin, who was part of biden’s administration and not trump’s? why do the uk and france believe that if they provide peace keepers, in non-nato ukraine, the us will come and rescue them, using nato article 5? thought that only works when a nato member is being attacked on their home territory, not when sticking their noses into non-nato nations arguments.
the choice for nato is either a peace deal for ukraine or the smo continuing until the ukies are annihilated or ww-3. except for trump the rest of nato is sitting around in their tin foil hats dreaming of globalism.
they’re up the creek without a paddle with america saying fight your own wars tightarses .they won’t open their wallets .
the draft agreement on ukrainian minerals contains a demand that the us government’s international development finance corporation take control of a natural gas pipeline from russia’s gazprom across ukraine to europe, reuters reported. us and ukrainian officials met in washington on friday, the source said. prospects for a breakthrough were scant given the meeting’s “antagonistic” atmosphere. ukrainian government has hired law firm hogan lovells as an outside adviser on the minerals deal.
a fascist country completely living on the us tax payers expense. and now this country will hire a law firm known for its multi billion dollars fees to defend that same fascist country against the us government legit interests on minerals as repayment for the debt. the most enraging thing is that it’s the us tax payers who will finance this payment of the multi billion dollars fees to this law firm who literally will fight on court against us interests. pls tell me this is a movie or a joke.
i feel like this whole reality/universe is a joke sometimes lol
the us overthrew the ukrainian government. it’s a failed us war. typical of americans, they want someone else to pay for their failure. and they have the orange grifter and his handlers to make that happen, although everything he touches fails.

witkoff is a zio mouthpiece. he negotiated a ceasefire in gaza, which hamas respected and shlomo constantly broke. witkoff just blamed hamas and demanded hamas make further concessions to shlomo. he is not a legitimate mediator by any stretch of the imagination. trying to negotiate through him is a complete waste of time. witkoff is 100% zionist kosher like the rest of chumpo’s administration.
the idea that the russians are now “partners” with drumpfco’s criminal enterprise is absurd. the new storyline about the failed ukrainian cia project is as goofy as the old one.
chumpo is hitting the brick wall of the limits to the power of the jewsa, economically, politically, militarily, diplomatically. he is flailing around impotently like a latter day king lear or captain ahab, spewing out infantile threats on twitter, and only succeeding in provoking the hostility and contempt of much of the world, while many others simply ignore him. pathetic, and rather sad.
