Moscow Will Target Kiev Leaders; US Turns Against Zelensky Over Airbase Strikes, Cools On Sanctions (Alexander Mercouris)

Russia is treating the leadership of Ukraine as if they were a terrorist organisation, and so they'll be targeted for elimination. The big deal with the negotiations at present is that Ukraine is refusing to take back the bodies of 6000 soldiers who were killed in Kursk. The admission of such large losses would likely embarrass the regime. Amazingly the Ukrainians are again attempting to push into Russia. The Russians should fall back and allow this attack to create another disastrous cauldron.

When it comes to the Russian economy, despite the war and the sanctions, the economy is growing, and it's projected to grow even with the harder restrictions that have being floated in Washington.
