"Putin continues to claim sovereignty over four Ukrainian regions " Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson " as well as Crimea, which was annexed in 2014. However, Russian forces do not have full control over all of these territories."

"The proposed measures could be postponed or scrapped altogether depending on the outcome of the expected Trump-Putin summit, which may take place in the United Arab Emirates in the coming days."

The worst part may be Trump pretending concern about the casualties.

He looks so awkward doing it... like it's the really a foreign thought to him. Which I'm sure it is, as there's only ever been one person that Donnie has ever been concerned about.
