Ukrainian F-16 pilots stand ready; unknown number of pilots return

definitely worth watching in full.
The Ukrainians need a LOT more of those Polish mortars he talks about.

I'm with Zelensky in this: no.
Russia has been suffering staggering losses in this recent "offensive". A ceasefire will only allow him to regroup and refit while the Kremlin stalls and wastes time with protracted "talks".
Now is the perfect time for a Ukrainian counter-punch at the lines where Russian forces have been bled the hardest.

This is a ploy. He knows Ukraine won't accept the freezing of the war, but wants to position Russia as "wiling to negotiate" on its own terms, while disparaging the Ukrainian desire to retain territorial integrity.
He's already shown himself unwilling to abide by international agreements. Why should anyone trust him?
The only logical conclusion is that this is a facade.
It may, however, reveal a little nervousness in the poor performance of his troops.
Putin's trustworthiness is reminiscent of another person from last century who had a gas mask moustache and a dodgy haircut.
This really is looking like the last gasp (hopefully) of the old Soviet cadre.

I think he is setting the mantra that his puppet and useful idiots in the US will repeat ad nauseum before the US election this year.

Putin *could* arrange a cease-fire if he starts withdrawing from all of sovereign Ukrainian soil beforehand.
(Insert laughter here)
Yeah, right - his wanting a cease-fire AND his coincidental "annual" nuclear attack drills are total bullshit aimed at the world stage.
His olive branch conceals the fasces...

Imagine if the US had provided these atacms in May 2023 rather than 2024. Internal dithering in the United States resulted in so many lost opportunities for Ukraine.ATACMS Obliterates Russian Air Defense System As It Desperately Tries To Defend Itself
