This demonstrates how absurd Trump's so called "peace" process is.
They do not want to end the war and seek to use every opportunity to cause Ukraine even greater suffering and increase their pressure on others around the world. And this means that the pressure in response is still insufficient.
It is equally important to continue supporting Ukraine’s defense.

Putin claimed to have conquered Kupyansk
🇺🇦 Kupyansk is being cleared, the Russian group has lost the ability to hold its positions, — head of communications department of Joint Forces Group, Trehubov.
There are about 50 Russian servicemen in the city. Some of them are surrendering, in particular, foreign mercenaries.

I would think that some human interest reporter might want to go back to those Ohio diners and interview some people who've lost their life savings betting on Trump Media (down ~70%) and Trumpcoin (down ~90%) this year.
