So Trump couldn't back up his claim to end the war "in 24 hours" back in January, because Biden announced he has cancer in May.

Ukrainians Brace for a Longer War as Trump Backs Off Cease-Fire Call

President Trump appears to be stepping back from trying to end the war in Ukraine. Many in the country see little choice but to battle on.

Bet we see an escalation this weekend

It is so obvious the only way to peace is thru real serious pressure on Putin. Something Trump has no desire to do.

We elected the weakest president in american history. The only people he is "strong” against are his own people and their interests. He’s pathetic.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday criticized the United States and the international community for remaining silent after Russia unleashed what Ukrainian officials describing as the largest aerial assault on the country since the war began.

Russian forces launched a massive overnight barrage Saturday as 367 drones and missiles targeted more than 30 cities and villages across Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv. At least 12 people were killed, according to officials, including three children in the northern region of Zhytomyr.

Germany lifts range restrictions on weapons it supplied to Ukraine.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced Monday that Berlin and its Western allies were lifting range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, though the practical implications of the apparent policy shift were not immediately clear. Speaking at a European forum in Berlin, Merz declared that "there are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the U.S. either.”

The decision should allow Ukraine to target military installations on Russian territory, which Moscow’s forces use routinely to stage attacks against Ukrainian cities. Merz’s announcement came days after Russia launched a record 355 drones against Ukraine over the weekend in Moscow’s largest assault since the beginning of the war three years ago. Ukraine has received several hundred Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles from Britain and France and shy of 50 ATACMS from the United States, tallies by defense observers show.

Merz did not mention Germany’s Taurus cruise missiles in his announcement, despite his previous advocacy for their delivery while serving as opposition leader. The 500-kilometer-range system represents Germany’s most capable long-range strike capability and is considered more precise than the systems Ukraine already possesses. Merz’s predecessor, Olaf Scholz, had refused Taurus deliveries, citing escalation fears with nuclear-armed Russia. The Kremlin, for its part, has warned Germany that this would present a dangerous escalation. Since taking office, Merz has remained noncommittal on Taurus transfers, though it is possible this may be part of a larger policy shift toward secrecy and strategic ambiguity. The German government has ended the public listing of most military aid details, once a potent communications tool to trumpet the government’s contributions in the face of critics blaming Berlin for underdelivering.

Germany has provided the second-most military aid to Ukraine, after only the United States. Defense officials acknowledged in March that the country’s capabilities to supply weapons from stockpiles "have reached the limit.” The transparency change also coincides with budget pressures. Germany allocated €4 billion for Ukraine support in its 2025 draft budget — half of what it spent in 2024. Moscow, meanwhile, denounced the lifting of range restrictions as "dangerous,” with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov warning the decision runs "contrary to our efforts to reach a political settlement.” Russia has previously threatened that Ukrainian strikes using German-made Taurus missiles would constitute "direct participation” by Berlin in the conflict. Both ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles have already been used against targets inside Russia since late last year.

This should have been done in the first year of the conflict. The entire "western coalition” kept moving the goal posts to appease the Russian imperialistic regime. Same goes for sanctions. It’s one of the main reasons this war is still raging on the way it is. The entire supporting west has always been late reacting to the Russian aggression. If they had been more supportive and stern from the beginning, the war might have been over already. Germany sent 5000 helmets at the start of war and were always even later than the rest.
