Thank You for Standing With Ukraine https://ukrainesupport…

Donald Trump’s new statement on North Korea and South Korea stopped me in my tracks. Trump said his relationship with Kim Jong Un remains “very good,” criticized U.S.–South Korean military exercises, and said he instructed Pete Hegseth to substantially reduce those exercises. I explain why I believe this sends a deeply troubling message to America’s ally South Korea—and why it matters for Ukraine as North Korea continues supporting Russia’s war.

We also examine reporting about Putin’s long-term objective of taking the entire Donetsk region, the possibility of continued Russian offensives and further mobilization, and the danger of Moscow testing NATO’s willingness to respond. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues striking Russian targets as signs of pressure inside Russia become harder to ignore.

I take you inside occupied Melitopol, where residents celebrate the return of electricity after nearly 18 days without power, and then to Russia’s Black Sea region, where drivers describe fuel shortages and extraordinary gas lines. In Sochi, one man reports waiting more than five hours only to leave without enough fuel.
