Ukraine has launched a fresh offensive in Russia's Kursk region, the Russian defence ministry says. In a statement, the ministry said efforts to destroy the Ukrainian attack groups were ongoing. Officials in Ukraine have also suggested an operation is under way. Ukraine first launched its incursion into Russia's Kursk region in August last year, seizing a chunk of territory.

I hope they can seize enough territory so they can swap it with Russia for their own territory once negotiations begin. And I hope Trump doesn't pull US support but I won't be surprised if he does. So I hope Poland and the rest of the EU can try to make up for it.

Lots of hopes.

I hope trump and his boss both get a fatal case of the kung flu. Asap.

Sadly, they both have access to top notch healthcare. So, unless they are injected with lead, I doubt they will die soon.

One can hope though.
