It is actually the Russians who are claiming that ukraine attempted drone strikes overnight on Russian energy infrastructure. This can give trump the excuse to suspend weapon deliveries and intelligence sharing with the Ukrainians. But hopefully they chalk it up to an:
Oops we did not know that it started yet,
type of error and they can get down to proper negotiations.
The notion that the scum who inhabit the Kremlin and the White House are agreeing anything in good faith is laughable. Nearly as laughable as the contributions from their apologists and defenders on this board.
... so right BFP. The notion that Russia does anything in good faith and that Trumpy sees anything but $$$$$$$$$ would be laughable if even half true...
Ceasefire in the Black Sea now.

*But shortly after Washington's announcement, the Kremlin said the Black Sea ceasefire would not take effect until sanctions were lifted from Russian banks, producers and exporters involved in the international food and fertiliser trades.*
The Black Sea is of course an area where Ukraine has had success with drone strikes on Russian shipping. What exactly is Russia giving up for the lifting of those sanctions?
Trumps top men no doubt let Putin know of their negotiating position on a social media chat group.
