One COULD seriously doubt THAT IS gonna happen…
Russian President Putin is NOT gonna stop bombing Ukraine cities until he can obtain what his military CANNOT get on the battle field….
The Donbas region in WHOLE….
Getting the Ukraine to ‘give it up’, would put the two major cities of the Ukraine. Kharkiv and the Ukraine capital Kyiv, in a favourable place for the Russia army to go back after the ink is dry , and roll over….
But?
Yes….
The Ukraine IS a ICE box….People ARE suffering and getting tired….
There ONLY help is coming from Europe, who has to be worried about Putin NOT stopping at the Ukraine…
In addition?
Ukraine’s stubbornness IS a block against Trump resuming his bromance with Russian President Putin…
For Putin?
In end to the conflict would help him bring his countries war economy back to life and allow him back on the world stage….
Of course?
For Trump?
Ukraine resources access and probably something from the Russian oil exports also….
We’ll see how this goes….
But?
Do NOT bet on it…..

Zelensky geting pressured for a June deadline from Trump to settle the War…..
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed Friday that the U.S. set a June deadline to reach a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, hoping to bring an end to the nearly four-year-long war in Eastern Europe.
Zelensky added that the Trump administration proposed another round of trilateral talks to be held next week — likely in Miami — and confirmed Kyiv’s participation, according to The Associated Press.
“The Americans are proposing the parties end the war by the beginning of the summer and will probably put pressure on the parties precisely according to this schedule,” the AP reported, citing Zelensky’s comments to reporters.
“And they say that they want to do everything by June,” he added. “And they will do everything to end the war. And they want a clear schedule of all events.”….

Pressure for Ukraine-Russia deal mounts ahead of fall elections in US
….“Elections are definitely more important to them. Let’s not be naive,” Zelenskyy said…
…
The Ukraine leader voiced concern that under that imperative Trump could strike a deal with Russia, leaving Ukraine out of negotiations about its own status.
“If there are any bilateral agreements between Russia and the United States, the points that will be related to Ukraine cannot contradict the constitution of Ukraine, the laws of Ukraine, and they should not be discussed without Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said….

A “massive attack” by Russian forces on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Saturday caused power outages across the country, the state grid operator said. Energy minister Denys Shmygal said Kyiv had requested emergency assistance from Poland after Russia hit the Burshtynska and Dobrotvirska power plants in western Ukraine overnight. “Russian criminals carried out another massive attack on Ukraine’s energy facilities. The attack continues,” Shmyhal said on Telegram. “Energy workers are ready to start repair works as soon as the security situation allows.” Due to the damage, emergency outages had been applied in most Ukrainian regions, grid operator Ukrenergo said.

Two airports in Poland were suspended from operations as a precaution due to the Russian strikes on nearby Ukraine territory, Polish authorities said on Saturday. “In connection with the need to ensure the possibility of the free operation of military aviation, the airports in Rzeszow and Lublin have temporarily suspended flight operations,” the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency posted on X. Both of the south-eastern cities are close to the Ukrainian border, with Rzeszow being Nato’s main hub for arms supplies to Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier called for faster action in boosting Ukrainian air defences and repairing damage to electricity grids and heating systems after huge Russian air attacks in freezing temperatures. The Ukrainian president said personnel changes would be made in areas where air defences had less than satisfactory results. Kyiv has been hit particularly hard and Zelenskyy said more than 1,110 apartment blocks remained without heat in the aftermath of an assault on the Ukrainian capital last Tuesday. Night-time temperatures have eased somewhat but were still due to hit -8C (18F). “The small-scale air defence component, specifically countering attacks drones, must work more efficiently and prevent the problems that exist,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address on Friday.

Donald Trump has said “very good talks” are ongoing over Russia’s war in Ukraine and that there could be movement as a result. “Very, very good talks today, having to do with Russia-Ukraine,” the US president told reporters on Friday. “Something could be happening.” The Kremlin said earlier that a third round of peace talks should take place “soon”, although there was no fixed date yet. The latest round of talks this week resulted in the two agreeing to a major prisoner swap but failed to yield a breakthrough on the thorny issue of territory.

A top Russian military official who plays a major role in the country’s intelligence services has been shot in Moscow and hospitalised, Pjotr Sauer reports state media as saying. Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseyev, 64, was shot several times on the stairwell of his apartment on Friday by an unknown gunman in the city’s north-west and was in critical condition, according to reports. Oleg Tsaryov, a pro-Kremlin Ukrainian figure close to Alekseyev, said the general had undergone surgery and remained in a coma. No party has claimed responsibility for shooting Alekseyev but Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov accused Ukraine of being behind it, while Ukrainian foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said Ukraine had nothing to do with the shooting.

The European Commission has proposed a sweeping ban on any services that support Russia’s seaborne crude oil exports, going far beyond previous piecemeal EU sanctions in its effort to stunt Moscow’s key source of income for its war on Ukraine. Russia exports over a third of its oil in western tankers – mostly from Greece, Cyprus and Malta – with the help of western shipping services. The ban would end that practice, which mostly supplies India and China, and render obsolete a price cap on purchases of Russian crude oil that the Group of Seven western powers have tried to enforce with mixed success. EC president Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday the ban would be “in coordination with like-minded partners” and that Russian LNG tankers and icebreakers would encounter “sweeping bans” on maintenance and other services….
