Russia launches largest aerial assault on Ukraine in a month as Kyiv delegation heads for US peace talks

Russia launched its largest barrage of drones and missiles in a month across Ukraine, killing at least three people, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday, as a Kyiv delegation heads to the United States for fresh peace talks.

A flurry of diplomacy is taking place after a plan put forward by US President Donald Trump triggered alarm in Kyiv, as the original draft heavily favored Russia.

The talks will be led from the Ukrainian side by Rustem Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, who Zelensky appointed following the resignation of his top aide on Friday. The Ukrainian delegation will build on developments from meetings in Geneva, where Kyiv and its European allies put forward a counter-proposal, Zelensky said.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will meet the Ukrainian delegation in Miami, Florida this weekend, a White House official told CNN on Saturday.

Ukraine knows they have to make a deal, and soon.

And they also know it has to be one the Russians will accept.

But they keep talking about "dignity".

There is no dignity in eating a sh!t sandwich.

Oddly, it's a war. Not a set of ongoing dueling PR stunts.

Most usually, a side in a war wins, and another loses. The "draw" as in the Koreas is the outlier. This war will have its end.

I strongly suspect you are right.

“There is no dignity in eating a sh!t sandwich.”

Hirohito in 1945, the Germans at Compiegne in 1918, Lee at Appomattox, Cornwallis at Yorktown, Burgoyne at Saratoga. They all had dignity. Maybe Zelensky doesn’t have any to begin with.
