Another pair of news from the US and from Russia-

"“They (Ukraine) may make a deal, they may not make a deal. They may be
Russian someday, or they may not be Russian someday,” Trump said. He
stressed that he also wanted to see a return on investment with US aid
for Ukraine, again floating the idea of a trade for Kyiv’s rare earth
minerals. The US president’s comments will likely delight the Kremlin,
which has illegally annexed four Ukrainian regions since launching its
full-scale invasion and seeks Ukraine’s total submission."

"Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko suggested that the military conflict
between Russia and Ukraine could end within "a month or two.
He struggled to specify the conditions for the conclusion of the
conflict, but predicted that they would be difficult to call positive
for Ukraine.
..
According to Klitschko, elections will be held after the conflict ends,
potentially leading to a "fight to the death," with all political forces
participating with "roughly the same slogans."
