It takes a special talent to come up with a Russian plan to end the war in Ukraine and present it as your own. But then that has been Steve Witkoff’s modus operandi from the start: take Russia’s side and force Ukraine to accept it. My latest @theobserveruk.bsky.social. observer.co.uk/news/interna...

Very true
Those calling for Europe to act, to step up, etc, etc. need to get specific for what they are calling for. Is it really just about more national spending? The countries that back Ukraine the loudest are often the most reticent to empower Europe to take collective action (see Eurobonds, etc).

And Budapest has a special and reassuring flavour for the Ukrainians
Trump is considering Budapest for talks between Zelenskyy and Putin.
I’m not sure Orban can be trusted which is no doubt why Trump suggested it.

One thing we didn’t hear from the Europeans though is the threat of more pressure on Russia if there’s no ceasefire or a deal. They explicitly mentioned such option in their post-Alaska statement on Saturday — yet no one mentioned it during the press mtg w/ Trump.
