This is not going to help Ukraine negotiate with Putin. 

  Right, Richard Haass?...

Richard Haass, a veteran diplomat and president of the Council on Foreign Relations, told the Post that Biden's remarks don't achieve the priorities of "ending the war on terms Ukraine can accept, and discouraging any escalation by Putin." "It discourages Putin from any compromise essentially — if you've got everything to lose, it frees him up. Why should he show any restraint?" Haass added. "And it confirms his worst fears, which is that this is what the United States seeks his ouster and systemic change."

Um...

The entire neighbourhood of the Eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy was destroyed. This is what Russian “kiss of love” looks like.

Russia launched a missile attack on a humanitarian aid center in Kharkiv this afternoon. People queueing to receive food were hit by long-range missile. According to preliminary data, 6 civilians were killed, another 15 were injured. This is another cynical act of war crime. pic.twitter.com/JuR4ZhciIJ

Are we really going to say it’s Biden’s fault if Putin steps up to battlefield nukes? Because that’s about the only “restraint” he’s shown so far. Other than the restraint of a collapsing invasion force.

Russian Troops Are Now Turning on Each Other:

“Even in Chechnya, there was nothing like this,” a soldier told a pal in an intercepted call, and reports emerge of another getting so fed up he ran over his colonel with a tank.https://t.co/VYY5UNHSC8
