🇺🇦 Zelensky: I really cannot understand what the problem is. If there are more than 5,000 prisoners in Russia and Ukraine, what is the problem with exchanging them? Why do we need to continue this terrible life in prison for these people? I cannot understand. There are no logical answers, but we hope to exchange as many of our people as possible.

⚡️️ Update: US wants Putin’s ‘blessing’ to involve Europe in Ukraine peace talks. “I believe that hopefully tomorrow in Moscow, Steve (Witkoff) and I will be successful, and President Putin will give the blessing for that to occur,” U.S. envoy Jared  Kushner said. kyivindependent.com/2nd-day-…

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Jared Kushner: Some things are clearly not working, which is why we're in the fifth year of the longest war that Europe has seen in a long time.

I’m not saying people are cheating, but this proves there are real problems and irregularities in our elections.

"Russia is moving at the speed of war when it comes to expanding its attack capabilities." -Former Army Special Operations Intel Analyst, Brett Velicovich, weighs in on Russia's new K5-K attack drones, which are taking on the capabilities of cruise missiles. These evolving drones present a growing challenge for Ukraine's air defenses.

Shame on you Mr. Massie, you’re the epitome of why the Republican Party lost in the midterms.

What’s next for the GOP after the midterms? Leader @johnthune joins me tonight on @SpecialReport

SECRETARY RUBIO: The economic pain that is being inflicted on Iran right now, on that regime, is extraordinary. It compounds, it's growing every day. These sanctions get worse over time, they get more painful as time goes on. It's all brought about by the fact that this radical regime of lunatics is imposing this on their own people. They're destroying their own country.

Russians after attacking Ukraine: “We want peace, and Ukrainians want war. There will be no agreement, but we will definitely win the war.” She says we have different mindsets. That’s for sure. Our thinking is a lot clearer than that 😅

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Giving up Ukrainian land for peace is just abstract words. It’s not just about reality, it’s more about philosophy. Putin talked about Donbas, but then he decided to occupy Kyiv, our capital. His words were about Donbas, and the reality was about Kyiv. He kept saying that he was protecting Russian-speaking people, and then he tortured hundreds and thousands of people in Bucha and other places. So it wasn’t about Russian-speaking people. That’s why when the Americans asked: “Can you exchange Donbas for security?”, I immediately answered: “Can you tell me what that means? What security? NATO?” “Not NATO, but something like NATO.” “Similar? But you don’t want the answer about Donbas to be “similar.” You want a clear answer about Donbas. That’s your goal. And that’s Putin’s goal today. What will you do if we have security guarantees, but not NATO?” They took away our nuclear weapons. I am not a fan of nuclear weapons. I think the world would be better without them. But the Russians took our nuclear weapons, didn’t they? They took them. Then they stopped our integration into Europe, then they didn’t let us be in NATO. And finally they occupied us. That is why this is an abstract question. Nobody believes that Putin will stop if we leave Donbas. He will pause. And then he will come back in a year, two or five years. And who will be to blame?

Love this song and this unforgettable moment from Pretty Woman (1990). ❤️ “Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now.” 😂🛍️✨ A classic scene from a timeless movie that never gets old.

This really gets to the crux of the matter re Trump, Vance and Iran, which isn’t whether the war badly hurt Republicans in the midterms or not (obviously it did). It’s whether or not Trump botched one of the most consequential decisions of his presidency. Vance clearly thinks he did, while Trump—absent a stark turnabout—is never going to concede that he did. Maybe Vance finds a way to cleverly finesse this question, or Trump gives him a pass on it, or other considerations prevail, but it is very treacherous territory for a VP to have such a dim view of a such a major decision made by the president whose favor he needs to win his party’s nomination. The question some journalist is going to ask Vance now is, “Do you agree with the president that the war was right call, and that, if he had it to do over again, he should do it again?” Trump’s statement suggested the answer he wants to hear.

❓Do you think Putin is stringing you along? 🇺🇸 Trump: Oh, I don't think so. There's been nobody that's been tougher on Russia than me. I didn't lift diesel sanctions on Russia. I made it possible for Russia to give, not us, but to the world, thousands and thousands of barrels of oil.

…15 people were rescued from this burning building. Last night, my hometown of Kremenchuk came under another attack. The video shows the former hotel building on fire. This building housed a children's center that had been supporting children with disabilities and their families for nine years. It also contained residential apartments. A russian kamikaze drone struck the building directly, causing a massive fire that quickly spread to adjacent premises, completely destroying the children's center. As of today, no equipment or property necessary for working with the children remains. Fifty children and 20 staff members have been left without their usual space for classes and therapy. Half of the team are internally displaced persons-people who had found a new home in Kremenchuk after fleeing dangerous cities. Fortunately, there are no fatalities, but many people suffered injuries of varying severity.

⚡️Power to Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant cut, restored, IAEA says. The plant lost connection to its sole 330-kilovolt external power line, forcing it to rely on emergency diesel generators for cooling and safety functions, the IAEA announced around noon local time. 10 hours later, the IAEA confirmed power had been restored. kyivindependent.com/power-to…
