Just a bizarre series of events, Putin offers direct leader-to-leader peace talks last weekend, and the end result is a small Russian negotiating team showing up to deliver the most maximalist, revanchist, and unhinged demands.
The US, Turkey, and Ukraine did at least get some real work done today, holding high-level trilateral talks that Ukraine says focused on “develop[ing] real mechanisms that will lead to a just and lasting peace.”
Ukrainian attack drones struck Russia's Kubinka air base overnight, with NASA's FIRMS orbital fire monitoring system detecting multiple fires along the flightline.
The base houses multiple Russian Air Force aerobatic demonstration teams prepping for Moscow's Victory Day parade.
