"This account of the @POTUS-@ZelenskyyUa meeting raises problems. The public Trump push for a ceasefire in place is reasonable. A private US demand that Ukraine cave to Putin's claim to all of Donbas if true sets up Ukraine Europe & the US for failure. via @ft"

"Good that @SecRubio is leading these preparatory talks for Budapest. Ending the war "in line with President's Trump's vision" is a useful qualifier if it means a ceasefire on the line of contact and security for Ukraine (with Europeans in the lead + US back up). Needed now: US steadiness and determination"

"The @washingtonpost editorial page makes the most optimistic case for @POTUSs uneven path to a ceasefire in Russias war against Ukraine. A stronger push would suit need better"

"Look forward to new US economic restrictions against Russia. There has been but one new sanction imposed on Russia since January: lifting a license for the Serbian energy firm NIS that delayed sanctions imposed by the outgoing Biden due to NISs connections w/Russia. @ACGeoEcon"

"Roosevelt had but weak ability to ward off Kremlin aggression against Central & Eastern Europe. Trump's cards to help Ukraine are vastly greater. Will he use them"

"Imposing full sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil hit Russian oil revenues. There remains a LOT of headroom in energy/oil sanctions. But with this move the Trump administration crosses the line of additional pressure on Russia responding to Putin's brutality and stonewalling"
