Ultimatum to Kiev's Kursk Troops: Surrender By Monday Or Be Destroyed; Starmer Strikes Poses (Alexander Mercouris)

Russian forces are gaining ground rapidly. They still lack blanket anti drone support and better direct fires to cover their advancing units, but they nevertheless vastly outmatch the Ukrainians.

Meanwhile the rhetoric from the UK is simply embarrassing. They have absolutely no leverage to demand anything from Russia.
