Reminder: Trump wants the war in Ukraine to continue. He just needs a way out of supplying Ukraine with weapons and aid, which is where Europe comes into play.
Keeping the war going is in Trump's best interests in regard to tackling the main threat to U.S. hegemony: China. Why stop a war which has Russia distracted and committed, when you can let it play out even further and use that time to your advantage?
Unfortunately, this will mean much more death and destruction in a war which has its outcome sealed if peace is not made. But when in pursuit of power - or in America's case, maintaining the power of an aging empire - administrations will go at great lengths with little worry about the costs, as long as it doesn't have significant effects back at home.
Don't expect much of today's talks, or you will be very disappointed.

Ngl, if you told 2023 me that I'd be writing a post like this in 2025, I would've called you crazy. But here we are...
With the Trump-Putin meeting set to begin in around 20 minutes, the first Russian Geran-2 drone launches have been recorded.

Yunakivka, Sumy Oblast.
Velykyi Burluk, Kharkiv Oblast.

The Trump-Putin meeting proceeded without any big surprises. It lasted for around three hours, and both sides emphasised that it was positive and productive (I doubt this will be the same narrative in a couple of weeks).
Trump claimed that they were "pretty close to a deal", and once again urged Zelensky to negotiate. Putin expressed his wish for the war to end, and stated that he believed the war wouldn't have started in 2022 if Trump were president back then.

The 10+ drones from Zaporizhzhia Oblast are probably going to attack the Dobropillya area of Donetsk Oblast.
Last night, another large-scale Russian Geran-2 drone attack was carried out on Donetsk Oblast.
At least 20 impacts were recorded in Dobropillya. Novodonetske, Bilozerske, Oleksandrivka, Ocheretyne, Svyatohorivka, and Slovyansk (media 1 & 2). Additionally, KAB glide-bombs struck targets in Dobropillya, Bilozerske, Novodonetske, and Oleksandrivka (media 3 & 4).
This is the first time Oleksandrivka has been struck by glide-bombs, and it was previously one of the last areas of Donetsk Oblast out of their range.

Last night, Russian Geran-2 drones attacked the town of Pokrovske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Impacts were recorded at a pig farm complex, and the grain elevator. NASA FIRMS data shows that fires are burning at both sites.
The Dnipropetrovsk OVA Acknowledged the strikes but did not provide any additional details to what we already know.
