😐 Residents of Valdai, where Putin's residence is located, did not notice the flight of dozens of UAVs, nor warnings of an attack, and did not hear explosions - Russian opposition media.
Journalists spoke with locals and concluded that the information about a "mass attack" is not confirmed.
A couple of points:
1. Eastern Ukraine is not Trump’s to bargain away.
2. This 1-on-1 meeting is already a huge win for Putin. By sidelining Zelenskyy, Putin has reinforced his narrative about the illegitimacy of #Ukraine as a sovereign state.

Het is simpel.
Oekraïne valt militaire vliegvelden, munitie- en oliedepots of hoofdkwartieren van militaire eenheden aan. Legitieme doelen
Rusland richt zich op woonwijken, scholen, ziekenhuizen, stations etc. en plundert, verkracht, ontvoert en moord.
Oekraïne verdedigt, Rusland terroriseert..
Russia attacked #Ukraine with 537 aerial strike weapons last night:

1/ On April 26, 1986, the world witnessed the worst nuclear disaster in history. At 01:25 AM, an explosion rocked the 4th reactor of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The Soviet government tried to hide the scale.
Because they knew that there would be 0 response… Trump is a fucking Russian puppet
By endorsing Russia’s sham referendums in occupied Ukraine and suggesting Ukrainians living under occupation chose to join Russia, Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff has discredited himself and placed the entire US-led peace process in jeopardy
Zelensky on the drone attack this evening:
Today, Putin effectively rejected the proposal for a complete ceasefire. It would be right for the world to respond by rejecting any attempts by Putin to drag out the war. liveuamap.com/en/2025/18-m...
Trump and Putin's false claim about encircling Ukrainians in Kursk Oblast denied by Russian, Ukrainian sources
ISW found no evidence supporting the claims that the Russians have surrounded significant Ukrainian troop numbers in Kursk.
Trump repeats the blatant lie today that Russia has a Ukrainian army surrounded in Kursk, but claims he is going to save them when he talks to Putin tomorrow. Trump will be the hero of Putin’s made-up story.
3 years ago at least 600 Ukrainian women and children were killed when Russia deliberately bombed Mariupol Drama Theatre.
Where is the outrage in America about this shameful betrayal by Trump? Where are the Senators and Members of Congress who cheered Zelensky when he addressed them, but are now too afraid of Trump to say a word in defence of Ukraine?
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responds, something we hopefully see a lot more of that from other European leaders. It's never been clearer than in this moment that Trump is Putin's ally, not Europe's.
The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.
On the new cover of Time Magazine, the Kremlin replaces the White House.
What do non-MAGA Americans think when they see something like this?
I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.
😂😂😂
Not the first time but still shocking to hear comments from the US president that echo those from the Kremlin. Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war (Russia invaded) while also wrongly claiming Zelensky has just 4% approval rating (its 52%).

Zelenskyy has become one of the world’s greatest heroes. — That’s eating Trump alive.
Never underestimate Ukraine.
Many did, especially Putin. Trump is making the same mistake - again.
Two Ukrainian oppositional leaders: Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko (both hate Zelensky and hate each other) have publicly supported Zelensky, said his term prolongation is legit until the end of the war, and said elections are impossible now. Listen to Ukrainian opposition.

Oh fuck you Donald you fucking traitor.
The fate of freedom and democracy in Europe will now rest entirely in the hands of Europeans. So far they have not been up to the challenge of defending it. The question is whether they will be now--or whether European freedoms will go gently into that good night.
