Zelenskyy urges Americans not to believe Russian claims about Ukrainian territories, citing his visit to Kupyansk to debunk disinformation. He calls for a ceasefire where both sides hold positions and seeks a fair, diplomatic resolution. Rejects U.S. compromise suggesting only Ukrainian withdrawal.

TRUMP OFFERS ‘ARTICLE 5 BASED GUARANTEES’ OF UKRAINIAN SECURITY
In exchange Ukraine must give up all of what’s left of Donbas, a heavily fortified area that it’s been assessed, would take Russia another 2.5 years to take if it could even last that long, which nobody thinks is likely

IS POKROVSK RUSSIA’S REVERSE STALINGRAD?
That’s an emotive, possibly somewhat dramatic question, but it was put to me yesterday morning by someone who readily admits to not knowing much about the details. Given that it made me think.
It was Ukraine’s persistence in holding out there & in Myronrahd

The BBC does not like people of moral principle. Because it now lacks any values itself. It has become a moral vacuum, simply replaying the latest right-wing tropes to an audience that mostly hasn't realised, and a growing audience that has.

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

Only problem with this is I've never been on their nonsense channel.
