Any family with several kids, whether middle or working class, will appreciate the ability to travel to the EU more easily.

Especially at a time where people of all income categories now travel to places like Berlin, Rome or Malaga.

Sumy region, the border with Russia.

The Russian army is wiping that area off the face of the earth.

In some villages, it is impossible to even evacuate civilians - Russian FPV drones attack all vehicles.

This is what Putin really wants. He doesn't want peace.

Note that it was a joint US-Canada-Mexico bid that won… so Canada and Mexico have serious leverage here.

Failing that - mass boycott will cost the US more than it earns.
