Summary

Donald Trump is reportedly frustrated with the ongoing aerial strikes between Russia and Ukraine, despite his efforts to broker peace.

After recent talks with both leaders, Russia claimed a 30-day pause on energy infrastructure strikes, but Ukraine accused Russia of continuing civilian attacks.

Heavy attacks continue, with recent Russian strikes killing four and injuring 13 in Ukraine. Ukraine has also reportedly launched strikes against Russian infrastructure, which Russia claims caused significant damage.

A proposed broader ceasefire faltered over Russian demands to halt foreign military support for Ukraine.

      By that logic, the only behaviour they encouraged was “talking about peace” because that’s all that Obama did to get the prize.

      Politicians will talk about everything and anything without actually meaning it, so that’s about the lowest value behaviour you can think of promoting.

      Surely in that specific year there were more worthy behaviours for the Nobel Comitee to want to encourage than merely “talk about peace”.
