๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ Politico offers its own version of what happened Friday at the White House:
โช๏ธUkrainian Republican supporters advised Zelenskyy to cancel the meeting and not insist on Tomahawk missiles, arguing that now was not the best time.
โช๏ธZelenskyy left the White House without the Tomahawk missiles, but insiders attribute this to the poor timing of the meeting given events in the Middle East.
โช๏ธTrump did at one point return to discussing territorial concessions, but ultimately accepted Zelenskyy's position and told him he would try to end the war along the current line of contact.
โช๏ธDespite Trump's claim that Putin allegedly wants to end the war, during negotiations with Zelenskyy, according to a source, "the Americans said Putin wants to keep fighting." The Americans also said Putin has a "strong military machine."
โช๏ธAt this point, Witkoff interjected and said that "Russia wants to seize all of Donbas... And the feeling in the room was that the Americans were testing the Ukrainians to see what they would agree to."
โช๏ธZelenskyy refused to give up lands that Russia had failed to occupy. Trump ultimately ended the meeting with the words, "Okay, let's try to finish this along the current lines."
โช๏ธA European diplomat, after reading the FT report, told Politico that the meeting was "not as grim as it described."

๐ต๐ฑ๐บ๐ฆ Polish President Nawrocki supported the decision not to extradite a Ukrainian suspected of the Nord Stream explosions to Germany:
โI agree that he may not receive a fair trial from the German side, since Nord Stream 2 was a project aimed at making a profit for the German state. This is an agreement between a state that subsidized the aggressor by buying gas and the aggressor state. A citizen of Ukraine cannot be punished for such activities at a time when his country is being devastated by Putin.โ
Ukrainian Volodymyr Zhuravlev, who is suspected in Germany of the gas pipeline explosions, denied all charges:
โNo, I did not commit any crime on the territory of Germany and did not undermine Nord Stream.โ
Earlier, a court in Italy made a similar decision โ they also refused to extradite another suspect to Germany.
