There are some positive outcomes from the White House meeting with Ukrainian and European leaders yesterday being reported by Pres. Zelensky on his TG social media account and the foreign press:

🔹I am ready to meet with Putin;

#OSINT @threadreaderapp unroll @threadreaderapp 🔹There is an agreement with the USA for Ukraine to purchase weapons worth $90 billion (Ed; This may include purchase of up to 10 Patriot air defense batteries);
🔹Security guarantees are the starting point for ending the war.

Opinion:

"...everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE -- ALL THINGS NOT GOOD."

In the below post from yesterday, the President expresses the above which I find to be very telling in terms of how he now views the conflict in Ukraine.

1/2: RUS officials say a truck bomb is the source of the explosion on the Kerch Bridge. Because the RUS "National Anti-Terrorism Committee" is involved and not MoD, the bombing appears to be Putin plan to expand powers.

marketwatch.com/story/russia-s… 2/2: RUS members of the State Duma are also working on drafting a declaration for a Counter-Terrorism Operation in Ukraine. This will allow Putin to broaden powers, ban rallies, tighten censorship, restrict travel and expand the "Partial" mobilization.

1/3: Large fire and secondary explosions at the Karan' railroad station Andriivka, Donestk Oblast.

My preliminary assessment of the cause of the explosion on the Crimea/Kerch Bridge. This analysis is reliant on limited preliminary data and may change as more facts become available.

My guess is that the Iranian drones delivered to Moscow recently are on their way to Crimea where they will be launched against Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kryvyi Rih, etc...

#Fellas #NAFO Update: This RUS IL-76MD (RA-78816) actually went to Iran, picked up a load of drones, and is now headed to Crimea.
