Most EU countries surveyed also opposed increasing their defense spending for Ukraine, polling by the European Council on Foreign Relations shows.

It found that Europeans tend to believe that Ukraine won't defeat Russia on the battlefield, with roughly a third to half of those surveyed believing the war will end in a negotiated settlement, and up to 31% seeing a Russian victory as most likely.

➡️ Biden Faces Mutiny as at Least 25 Dems Prepare to Call Time on the Ailing Octogenarian (Reuters)

Only one Democratic House member - Lloyd Doggett of Texas - has publicly suggested that Biden should step aside, while the president gives no indication that he intends to exit the race.

However, at least 25 US House members were "preparing to call for Biden to step aside" if he "seems shaky in coming days," according to a report based on the comments of an anonymous Democratic House aide.

Will Joe even realise if he does step aside?

Zelensky needs to understand: the US loves Israel more

The United States has higher priorities than Ukraine, including supporting Israel unconditionally. The unelected President of Ukraine would be wise to learn that as election season in the US heats up and a change in policy may be incoming.

During last week’s debate, Ukraine was discussed but neither candidate offered concrete plans to continue funding the ill-fated NATO proxy war in Ukraine. In contrast, when Palestine was brought up, both candidates sparred over who supports Israel more.

“They both love [Israel] -they actually argued over who loves Israel more,” Sarah Bils, a US Navy veteran and co-founder of DD Geopolitics told Sputnik’s Backstory on Monday.

The stark contrast should have been illuminating to Volodymyr Zelensky, the former golden boy of the West.

“I’m sorry, at the end of the day, the priority [for the US] is always going to be Israel,” Bils said. “Geopolitically, it’s more important for the United States to protect Israel, than it is to protect Ukraine.”

She added that she believes Zelensky’s recent openness to talks through an intermediary are not to be taken seriously. “Especially since he’s already bided himself enough time,” by putting off any potential talks until after the increasingly likely electoral loss of the Biden administration, she said.

🤬 JUST IN: Israel approves largest seizure of land in occupied West Bank in over three decades - anti-settlement watchdog

The Israeli group ‘Peace Now’ said Wednesday that authorities recently approved the appropriation of 12.7 square kilometers of land in the Jordan Valley.

It makes 2024 by far the peak year for Israeli land seizure in the West Bank, Peace Now added.

The group’s data indicate it was the largest single appropriation approved since the 1993 Oslo accords at the start of the peace process.
