ON SCHEDULE
Kyiv strikes resume within hours of Kushner and Witkoff's departure, killing three, again.
“Twice now, Witkoff and Kushner have boarded a plane out of Kyiv and the missiles landed before the wheels were up — thirty-seven dead in Bucha last month, three dead and sixteen wounded this morning. That's not a ceasefire, it's a coffee break for artillery, and Kyiv keeps paying for the coffee.”
“The meetings happened, that's what matters — Witkoff and Kushner were in the room, engaging, that's diplomacy working. Sure, the Post says there was no significant breakthrough, but process takes time, you can't rush it — wait, did I just call three days a process? That's not really the line we're supposed to use.”
