This is insane. The admin claims to have a document that has been signed by both governments and Trump hasn’t even shared it with the Senate Majority Leader — from his own party!

The Iran "deal" is a tacit admission of strategic defeat by the Trump administration and of a failure to achieve nearly all of his war aims. news.sky.com/story/trumps-ir…

In which, briefly, @FukuyamaFrancis pours a Niagara of cold water on Trump's Iran deal. A slate of points to be considered. substack.com/home/post/p-202…

Trump said he demanded unconditional surrender, we just didn’t know he meant America’s.

One and all were aware of Notre Dame cathedral, in Paris -- which burned by accident. We should be aware of this, too.

Pousser un peuple à se soulever, l'abandonner au massacre, puis pactiser avec ses bourreaux : connaît-on escroquerie morale plus achevée dans l'histoire diplomatique ?

Metropolitan Epiphanius of Kyiv and All Ukraine: One more Russian crime against humanity, against history, against Christianity. "As a result of the Russian shelling that is taking place now, on the night of June 15, the roof of one of the holiest places in the Christian world is burning - the Assumption Cathedral of the Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv. We ask for prayer to save the shrine from destruction. One more Russian crime against humanity, against history, against Christianity. What else must the Kremlin's antichrist do so that the world realizes that it is necessary to act decisively so that the Russian terror against Ukraine and the very principles of peace stops? Holy Virgin Mary, stop the Herod!"

Waiting for Trump to wake up and tell us again how his friend Vladimir wants peace.

Russia is among the world’s worst persecutors of Christians. This heinous attack on one of Ukraine’s most sacred Christian sites is an awful expression of Russia’s anti-Christian violence. I am grateful to sponsor the Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act to identify and sanction those responsible.

We must be morally prepared for the fact that Russia will deliberately try to destroy Ukraine's many ancient monuments and its most important sites of cultural and historical heritage. Today, they desecrated the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra with their violence. They struck the Dovzhenko Film Studio. The Mystetskyi Arsenal art center was damaged, as was a church in Dnipro. Saint Sophia of Kyiv is in danger. So are the ancient landmarks of Kyiv, the thousand-year-old churches of Chernihiv, the museums of the Zaporizhian Sich, and the historic treasures of Lviv. Since fascist Russia is somehow unable to defeat the Ukrainian army, and its missile terror against civilians is failing to produce results, the mighty and invincible Russia will now bravely wage war against historic churches with even greater ferocity.

While half-naked men were wrestling in a cage at the White House, Russia bombed the Pechersk Lavra, one of the most important sites in Eastern Orthodox Christianity and the spiritual heart of East Slavic Orthodoxy. Russia is a terrorist state.

You cannot make this shit up.

У Києві триває ліквідація наслідків російських ударів, також у Харкові. Цієї ночі лише по столиці росіяни запустили понад 60 ракет. Загалом по Україні було випущено 70 ракет і 611 дронів. Станом на зараз відомо про 28 поранених і чотирьох загиблих у столиці. Мої співчуття всім рідним та близьким. Через російський удар по Києво-Печерській лаврі горів Успенський собор – церква, чия історія почалася ще в ХІ столітті. І це на сьогодні один із найбільших російських злочинів проти християнської культури. ДСНС уже ліквідували пожежу на даху собору. У Харкові росіяни завдали повторного удару по наших рятувальниках, які гасили пожежу на місці удару по підприємству. Станом на зараз відомо, що, на жаль, п’ять людей загинули. Мої співчуття всім рідним та близьким. Дев’ять людей було поранено. У Дніпрі Росія завдала удару по території залізничної станції, коледжу, підприємств. Були також удари по інших містах і громадах. Під ударами були й Київщина, Дніпровщина, Донеччина, Запоріжжя, Сумщина, Миколаївщина. Так Росія показує світу свої наміри вести війну далі. Дуже важливо, щоб була відповідь країн Групи семи, які зараз збираються на саміт, і щоб вона була рішучою та змістовною: більше тиску на агресора, більше допомоги Україні з ППО, передусім із протибалістикою. Я дякую всім, хто допомагає нам захищати життя.

Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian strikes are ongoing in Kyiv, as well as in Kharkiv. Last night, the Russians launched more than 60 missiles at the capital alone. In total, 70 missiles and 611 drones were used against Ukraine. As of now, 28 people have been reported injured and four killed in the capital. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. A Russian strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra set the Dormition Cathedral on fire – a church whose history dates back to the 11th century. And this is one of Russia’s most serious crimes against Christian culture to date. The State Emergency Service has already extinguished the fire on the cathedral’s roof. In Kharkiv, the Russians carried out a repeat strike against our rescuers as they were putting out a fire at the site of an earlier strike on an industrial facility. So far, tragically, five people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Nine people have been injured. In Dnipro, Russia struck the grounds of a railway station, a college, and several enterprises. Other cities and communities were targeted as well. The Kyiv, Dnipro, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Mykolaiv regions were also under attack. This is how Russia shows the world its intention to continue the war. It is very important that there be a response from the G7 countries, which are now gathering for their summit – and that this response be decisive and substantive: more pressure on the aggressor and more support for Ukraine’s air defense, especially anti-ballistic capabilities. I thank everyone who is helping us protect lives.

Trump last night: Praises Putin to the New York Times and promises to bully Ukraine (again) into handing over more land and people to Russia. Putin last night:

Trump’s surrender to Iran is the greatest shame ever suffered by the United States.

Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, trying to erase Ukrainian statehood, identity, culture, and history. Last night was another example of that, as Russia hit museums in several cities, a church, and a famous Ukrainian film studio

Russia launched around three dozen ballistic missiles at Kyiv, damaging one of the most important Orthodox shrines in Eastern Europe. The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A place of nearly a thousand years of history.
