Another day, another lie.
Trump falsely claims that a large group of Ukrainian soldiers are surrounded in Kursk, this is completely false, even according to Russians themselves.
Ukrainian troops are withdrawing from the Russian region of Kursk. @dw dives into why.

Combat operations within the operational zone of the '#Kursk' group of forces are ongoing.
Units of the Defence Forces of #Ukraine have successfully regrouped, withdrawn to more advantageous defensive positions, and are executing their assigned tasks within the #Kursk region. Our soldiers are effectively repelling enemy offensive actions and inflicting significant fire damage using all available weapon systems.
General Staff of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine denies information about the 'encirclement' of the #AFU in the #Kursk region.
Below is the full translation of the General Staff statement:
"Reports of the alleged 'encirclement' of #Ukrainian units by the enemy in the #Kursk region are false and fabricated by the #Russians for political manipulation and to exert pressure on #Ukraine and its partners.
The situation has remained largely unchanged over the past day.
There is no indication of Ukrainian troops being encircled in Kursk.
Let alone thousands.
Hundreds were taken prisoner during Ukraine’s retreat from there, but the president’s statement is bullshit.
Amazing synchronisation with Russian propaganda from kamrat Krasnov again.

Putin will give a list of unfavourable demands that Trump will try to bully Europe and Ukraine into accepting.
Putin wants to create division between Europe and the US and his little imp in the White House is performing that task for him.
Very Serious People don't seem to be able to understand this and take Trump's calls for 'Peace' at face value, like they were meeting the Wallet Inspector
