"Netanyahu cancelled a 'massive' attack on Iran with F-35s already on the runway, on Trump's orders."

Russia rejects Zelensky meeting offer as insincere
The Russian government responded to Ukrainian President Zelensky's offer of direct talks with President Putin by characterising it as evidence that Ukraine does not genuinely want negotiations.
