The russian representative accidentally saw the photo of the dead Ukrainian child in the rubble and flinched, then quickly stared at her phone to push the feelings of guilt and shame away. May she never sleep peacefully again!

Correct! Lead!

Ok, we already knew that was Russiaโs position from the start, I assume Trump will now see he got played by Putin, again, to avoid secondary sanctions being applied, and Trumpโll now clear the way for congress to pass them?

Heโs moved the bar from ceasefire to peace deal. There was agreement from Zelenskyy on Trumpโs proposed ceasefire, all they needed was Putinโs agreement and you had both sides agreeing to the ceasefire! Putin didnโt agree to the ceasefire, so Trumpโs threatened sanctions must follow! Simple! #TACO
