⚡️ "Some people in a town that got hit or whatever, but mostly soldiers die." Trump on Russian shelling of civilians in Ukraine.

Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at one of the railway stations and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People's lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

Any confab among Messrs. Xi, Putin and Trump that tried to dictate Ukraine’s fate would be a mistake that could plant the seeds for a larger conflict, not unlike the first Yalta that drew lines for the Cold War. on.wsj.com/4BgaEbT

Today, I joined several state leaders in breaking ground on an interactive visitor center at Vicksburg National Military Park. Over the past year, Mississippi’s congressional delegation worked together to pass a law that gave the state and its private partners new tools to bring the story of Vicksburg to life. This center will help Mississippi remember, relive, and learn from the past.

You quit trying after the first debate so sit this one out.

Witkoff's "humanitarian" comment simply echoes the president and takes it a step further, ignoring the realities of the Ukrainian civilians and children Russia has slaughtered
