Kyiv. A paradoxical place where boundless weirdness is expressed, intertwined, transcending the confines of reality, giving birth to a tapestry of very disturbing window dressing ideas.
In the Pokrovsk sector, the Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled 39 attacks. The enemy concentrated its main efforts in the areas of Zelene Pole, Vozdvyzhenka, Novotroitske, Hrodivka, Novohrodivka, Selidove, Marynivka and Mykhailivka.
In the Kurakhove sector, AFU continued to hold back the enemy in the areas of Krasnohorivka, Dolyna, Ukrayinka, Heorhiivka and Kostiantynivka. Russian invaders tried to break through the defense lines 30 times. - AFU
No one is quiet sure what is actually happening in occupied areas of Russia’s Kursk region.
Konotop in Sumy region was bombed.
Seven multi-apartment buildings, one private house, a medical and an education facility, three cars, a garage cooperative, a shop, and a bank were damaged," the Sumy Regional Prosecutor's Office said.
Diplomatically, energetic head bobbs and nodds.
Z said this on Telegram after his chit chat with Tony and David:
All the key issues were addressed. It is important that Ukraine's arguments are heard. This includes long-range weapons, the supply of combat brigades on the frontline and the overall strategy for bringing a just peace closer. Special attention was paid to the preparations for the second Peace Summit and relevant steps that will make the Summit effective.
No one knows what the overall strategy “to bring a just peace closer” is. That’s because it’s a classified secret.
Z promises to share his proposal with Uncle Joe, Kamala and Donald next week. He has told us last month’s incursion into Kursk is part of his Victory Plan, which also involves shooting long-range missiles deep into Russia. This, in turn, is related to holding a second Peace Summit, to which Russia will be invited (but says it won’t attend). The White House, meanwhile, has sent its Classified Ukraine War Strategy report to Congress.
Still thinking about the debate between Kamala and Donald last night. It was more entertainment than an airing of views.
Donald said our war is “dying to be settled.”
Yikes.
