    Russian ex-President Dmitry Medvedev's statement that Russia seeks only a "swift victory" and the "complete destruction" of the Ukrainian government at the Istanbul peace talks is a "rare moment of honesty," U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham said on June 3. "I appreciate you making it clear to the world that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and Russia are not remotely interested in peace," said Graham, a Republican lawmaker backing a bill on major new sanctions against Russia.

    Independent journalism needs a community — not a paywall. We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all. Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?

    The Ukrainian parliament supported a bill on establishing the institution of a military ombudsman in the first reading on June 3, lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak said. The legislation was supported by 287 lawmakers, with 25 abstaining and none voting against it. Bills must pass two readings and be signed by the president before becoming law. Ukraine first unveiled the office in April 2024 to ensure soldiers had a mechanism to report violations of their rights.

Trump went from "why did Ukraine fight back in 2022" to "why DIDN'T it fight back in 2014" (with a considerably weaker army and less international support). There is no logic. Just hurling blame at Ukraine to quickly get friendly with Russia again.

⚡️Trump claimed in a post on his social media platform Truth Social that the U.S. is not forcing Ukraine to recognize Crimea as Russian, following reports a U.S. peace plan includes the U.S. formally recognizing Moscow's illegal annexation of Crimea. https://t.co/JQYyhN4D4i
