Kyiv
Every missile that Putin sends crashing into Kyiv is a firm ‘what are you gonna do about it?’
The US was as close to being orchestrators of the battles with Russian forces as could be
He still demands huge chunks of Ukraine and other dramatic concessions
If Russia ignores — or refuses — the proposal, the ball will then be in Trump’s court as to what to do next
There is not much room for Ukrainian leverage, as far as Trump is concerned
The decision to suspend all intelligence sharing with Kyiv is a less visible but almost as serious blow as the pause to arms deliveries
Until billions are spent and thousands recruited, it’s a fantasy
The country gave up its nukes in exchange for international security guarantees under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum
Have the Ukrainians managed to wrench a victory of sorts from the jaws of defeat?
This deal would, quite simply, beggar Ukraine
