Something that is being missed with diminishing attention on Ukraine is that the attacks on Kyiv and other cities are only increasing. Last night was one of the biggest attacks of the war with 600 drones and 48 missiles being launched.

Thought-provoking thread. 1st question: is there a European grand strategy towards Ukraine? To me, it looks more like exercises in wishful thinking, falling back from 'Perhaps Ukraine can beat Russia without Western weapons striking RU territory' to 'Perhaps Trump can negotiate a deal'. 1/2
Working on a chapter about the 1942 Singapore campaign for an upcoming book, and I’m struck by how this historical disaster exemplifies the same strategic failures I’ve critiqued in contemporary European grand strategy toward Ukraine.

Russia has escalated from
the very beginning of this war, it wants to destroy Ukraine/its people which it doesn’t even acknowledge as a nation. So how on earth can defence against such an existential threat be escalation (also legally, the scale of the attack is the yardstick for proportionality)

The phrase that comes to mind is "reasonability theatre" - this whole circus is played out by the Russians to try and construct the false impression they are not in fact lunatics who are intent on killing Ukrainians until Armageddon. It is not clear who the target audience for this is.
Putin has made it clear: first, negotiations on the causes, then talks on a ceasefire, said Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zakharova, commenting on Zelensky's reaction. She claims Kyiv misread Putin’s statement regarding talks.

Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine
Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.
