Ukraine’s “Pearl Harbor” Strike on Russia? Talks in Istanbul were brief

The Pearl Harbor example suggests what? Given the fact the US nuked Japan. Twice.

Battered, beleaguered, tired, and outnumbered, Ukrainians have, at minimal cost, in complete secrecy, and over vast distances, destroyed or damaged dozens, perhaps more, of Russia’s strategic bombers,” he said.

Interesting, but nor surprising, is claimed numbers of destroyed bombers has decreased dramatically from yesterday’s claim of 40 to just 13

ISTANBUL (AP) — Delegations from Russia and Ukraine ended their latest peace talks Monday in Turkey after just over an hour, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian state media said.

Speaking in Vilnius, Lithuania, Zelenskyy said both sides “exchanged documents through the Turkish side, and we are preparing a new release of prisoners of the war.”

Expectations were low for any breakthrough on ending the 3-year-old war after a string of stunning attacks over the weekend.

We’re they lower than usual or than had been expected because of the “stunning attacks”?? I don’t think so.

Kyiv officials said a surprise drone attack Sunday destroyed more than 40 warplanes (we know that is 13 planes per latest reports) at air bases deep inside Russia, including the remote Arctic, Siberian and Far East regions more than 7,000 kilometers (4,300 miles) from Ukraine.

The complex and unprecedented raid, which struck simultaneously in three time zones, took over a year and a half to prepare and was “a major slap in the face for Russia’s military power,” said Vasyl Maliuk, the head of the Ukrainian security service who led its planning.

Zelenskyy called it a “brilliant operation” that would go down in history. The operation destroyed or heavily damaged nearly a third of Moscow’s strategic bomber fleet, according to Ukrainian officials.

Recent comments by senior officials in both countries indicate they remain far apart on the key conditions for stopping the war.

The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said Sunday that “Russia is attempting to delay negotiations and prolong the war in order to make additional battlefield gains.”

Zelenskyy said the setbacks for the Kremlin would help force it to the negotiating table, even as its pursues a summer offensive on the battlefield.

“Russia must feel what its losses mean. That is what will push it toward diplomacy,” he said Monday in Vilnius, Lithuania, meeting with leaders from the Nordic nations and countries on NATO’s eastern flank.

Is that what Zelensky thinks? I don’t know. Too much drugs?
