Trump is only interested in quick, easy wins and money. If he figures there is more to be made in cosying up to Russia of course he will leave Ukraine to their own devices. 
Perhaps he thinks that the tacky peace award his latest brown noser Infantino has given him in some way is equal to the Nobel prize so he doesn’t need to bother anymore?

Yeah, not really the saying.

Son following father's lead in talking totally fabricated bollocks.

I wonder why the Trump's hold such personal animosity towards Zelensky.

Russia is taking legal action in response to moves by Ukraine's European allies to use Moscow's frozen assets to help Kyiv fund its military and economy.

The Russian Central Bank is suing Belgian bank Euroclear in a Moscow court

I wonder if anyone can guess the outcome of this legal action.  Pretty close one to call I reckon.

Dear leader, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin will arrive in the same spot to present a similar video to the Motherland in Russia but he will be shown naked from the waist up grappling with a Eurasian Lynx to show how tough he is in comparison to the Nazi Zelensky.

Ukraine claim that underwater drones successfully attacked a Russian submarine moored inside Novorossiysk naval base.

Approx. 50 year old Russian cargo aircraft makes test flight after undergoing maintenance and proceeds to immediately break in half mid-flight. I’m sure it’s just a one-off and Russia’s 800 modern, state of the art fighter/interceptors are well maintained and airworthy
