Putin agrees to incremental, temporary ceasefire while Trump seeks more ties with Russia in phone call

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to an incremental and temporary ceasefire during a marathon phone call with President Donald Trump, which included the possibility of a peace deal in the overseas conflict. Trump and Putin began their phone call at 10:00 a.m. and it lasted at least an hour and a half before the White House signaled to reporters that the conversation was over.

By Caitlin Doornbos | New York Post Special presidential envoy Steve Witkoff left Moscow on Friday without a cease-fire deal in hand after Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected President Trump’s terms to begin winding down the war with Ukraine. Putin met with Witkoff late Thursday after having kept the American waiting since roughly 12:30 p.m., according to flight tracking data and Russian reports, but ultimately sent him home with “signals” for Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told reporters. “A lot still needs to be done,” Peskov said of the cease-fire agreement, noting that Witkoff “presented additional information to the Russian side.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Joondeph: Democrats stand for Ukraine but sit for America

By Brian C. Joondeph | American Thinker Republicans hold only slim majorities in Congress, particularly in the House. Midterm elections typically shift control to the party not in the White House. Democrats need only a few more House seats to hinder President Trump’s final two years in office and will seek to impeach him daily until he leaves in January 2029.Trump’s first month in office has been like a wrecking ball, disastrous for the entrenched ruling class and administrative state. The unavoidable chaos resulting from dismantling a massive bureaucracy, exacerbated by corporate media gaslighting, could tilt enough midterm votes to flip at least one house of Congress to the Democrats.That’s the likely scenario, assuming Democrats present a compelling and attractive alternative agen...

Zelensky says ‘End of War with Russia is very, very far away’

By AP via Breitbart A deal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia “is still very, very far away,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that he expects to keep receiving American support despite his recent fraught relations with U.S. President Donald Trump. “I think our relationship (with the U.S.) will continue, because it’s more than an occasional relationship,” Zelenskyy said late Sunday, referring to Washington’s support for the past three years of war. “I believe that Ukraine has a strong enough partnership with the United States of America” to keep aid flowing, he said at a briefing in Ukrainian before leaving London.

Marco Rubio can’t say ‘peace is possible’ between Ukraine and Russia

By Jenny Goldsberry | Washington Examiner Secretary of State Marco Rubio mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky‘s demands for security guarantees when peace with Russia is still not guaranteed. Ukraine just passed its third-year anniversary since Russia invaded and war broke out. While Zelensky has maintained control of its capital, Kyiv, Russian President Vladimir Putin claims to have annexed Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson regions in the south and east of Ukraine since September 2022. Rubio explained that speaking to Putin, after not a single European ally or former President Joe Biden was able to, is the way to end the war. “No one here is claiming Vladimir Putin is going to get the Nobel Peace Prize this year or that he should b...
