Trump Gives Putin Another Month Instead Of Two Weeks

During the Q&A session following a meeting between Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump was asked if he still trusted Vladimir Putin. His response was, “I’ll let you know in about a month.”

In the same session, Trump also stated that NATO countries should shoot down Russian drones if they enter their airspace. This marks a significant departure from his usual stance, where he often suggested that Russia might have made a mistake flying into certain areas.

The question remains: what does giving Putin another month actually achieve? How many extensions does the Russian leader get?

When asked, “Mr. President, do you think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace?” Trump replied, “Yes, I do.”

Later, when asked, “Mr. President, any update on your talk with President Putin? Do you still trust him?” Trump responded, “I’ll let you know in about a month from now, okay?”

It seems Putin is not engaging in serious peace talks, yet Trump appears willing to grant him another month, then perhaps two weeks, then a week, and then another month, citing that their talks have been positive. This ongoing cycle raises concerns about accountability and progress.

When will the press do its job and hold these discussions to account?

Russian Cargo Plane Flies Dangerously Low Over Moscow Apartments Amid Ukraine’s Drone Attacks

A viral video has captured an Antonov AN-124 flying low over a Moscow suburb amid ongoing Ukrainian drone attacks, airport closures, and rising civilian casualties. The footage shows the massive Russian cargo plane soaring just above high-rise apartment buildings, highlighting the heightened tensions in the Russian capital.

According to the BBC, Russian media reported that numerous drone warnings led to the halting of flights at Moscow’s airports, including the closure of Sheremetyevo Airport, located north of the city. Verified videos revealed that the aircraft was an Antonov AN-124 Ruslan cargo plane, heading eastward away from Vnukovo International Airport, which lies about 6 km (3.7 miles) to the west.

The Antonov-124 is an enormous military transport aircraft, measuring 226 feet in length, with a wingspan of 240 feet and a maximum weight of 450 tons. Russian outlet SHOT reported that the pilot intentionally flew at a low altitude to avoid Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating in the airspace.

Residents of New Moscow described hearing a loud roar and feeling uneasy as they spotted the giant plane flying over their homes.

The events unfolded amid swarms of Ukrainian kamikaze drones striking Moscow overnight and into the morning on Tuesday, severely disrupting flights and causing widespread alarm. According to the Associated Press, Russian forces claimed to have shot down around three dozen Ukrainian drones targeting the capital.

Meanwhile, Ukraine reported that Russian missiles, drones, and bombs killed at least two civilians. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continued to seek stronger international support at a United Nations gathering of world leaders held on Tuesday.

The full-scale war, which began on February 24, 2022, continues to have a devastating impact on Ukrainian civilians. Earlier this month, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights revealed that civilian casualties in Ukraine increased by 40% in the first eight months of this year compared to 2023, attributed to escalated Russian long-range missile strikes and localized drone attacks.

Additionally, a report released by the UN Human Rights Office on Tuesday highlighted the dire conditions faced by thousands of civilians detained by Russian forces in areas of Ukraine under Russian control.

Russian Cargo Plane Flies Dangerously Low Over Moscow Apartments Amid Ukraine’s Drone Attacks

A viral video showing an Antonov AN-124 flying low over Moscow has attracted widespread attention amid ongoing Ukrainian drone attacks, airport closures, and rising civilian casualties. The footage captures the massive Russian cargo plane soaring close to high-rise apartment buildings in a Moscow suburb during a tense period of security threats.

According to BBC reports citing Russian media, multiple drone warnings prompted the closure of several airports in the capital, including Sheremetyevo Airport located north of the city. Verified videos confirm that the aircraft was an Antonov AN-124 Ruslan cargo plane heading east, departing from Vnukovo International Airport approximately 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) to the west.

The Antonov AN-124 is an imposing aircraft, measuring 226 feet in length with a wingspan of 240 feet, and weighing around 450 tons. Russian outlet SHOT reported that the pilot intentionally flew at a low altitude due to the presence of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the skies.

Residents of New Moscow recalled hearing a loud roar and expressed concern upon seeing the plane flying so close over their homes amid the ongoing conflict.

Meanwhile, according to the Associated Press, Russian forces claim to have shot down around three dozen Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow. Ukraine, on the other hand, reported that Russian missiles, drones, and bombs have caused at least two civilian deaths.

In the midst of this conflict, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues to rally international support for his country. He addressed a UN gathering of world leaders on Tuesday, seeking to bolster global backing amid intensified hostilities.

The full-scale war, which began on February 24, 2022, continues to inflict significant suffering on Ukrainian civilians. Earlier this month, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reported a 40% increase in civilian casualties in Ukraine during the first eight months of 2024 compared to the previous year. This rise has been attributed to Russia’s escalation of long-range missile attacks and localized drone strikes.

Additionally, a UN Human Rights Office report released Tuesday highlighted the dire conditions faced by thousands of civilians detained by Russian forces in occupied Ukrainian territories.

As the conflict persists, the impact on civilian populations remains a critical concern for the international community.

‘1500 strike drones, 1280 guided bombs, 50 missiles targeted Ukraine this week’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday called for stronger international sanctions and increased military support to counter Russia’s escalating attacks. He revealed that Ukraine faced over 1,500 strike drones, 1,280 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles of various types in the past week alone.

“Russia must feel the consequences of what it is doing. Sufficient counteraction is needed to force them to seek peace. That can be achieved with adequate strength of our army, our long-range strike capabilities, and strong sanctions and pressure against Russia,” Zelenskyy said.

He added, “Right now, we are defending ourselves from Russian attacks almost every day. This week alone, there were more than 1,500 strike drones, over 1,280 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles of various types.”

In a post on X, Zelenskyy warned that Russian military production relies heavily on foreign-made components and technologies. He revealed that over 132,000 foreign components from countries including Europe, the US, China, Japan, and others have been identified in Russian weaponry.

“Thousands of foreign components have been found in this weaponry — more than 132,000 items from many countries: Europe, the US, China, Japan, and dozens of others. All these technologies help Russia create weapons on a large scale. All for the sake of terror against our people,” his post read.
