Summary

A Russian presidential plane from the Kremlin’s Rossiya Special Flight Squadron visited New York and Washington, D.C., in late December, sparking speculation amid tense U.S.-Russia relations.

Moscow claimed the flight carried rotating diplomats, but its timing raises questions about Trump’s potential dealings with Vladimir Putin.

Trump has promised to end the Ukraine war in a day, alarming NATO officials who fear a deal that could harm Kyiv and alter NATO’s eastern border dynamics.

The flight highlights ongoing diplomatic maneuvering ahead of Trump’s January 20 inauguration.

    Biden lame ducked himself so hard that this isn’t a news story. Literally the entire world has already switched to talking to Trump unless it’s something that’s happening before January 20th. Yes Putin sucks, but he’s also the only person in the world who can call off the war in Ukraine. So without evidence of fuckery I find it hard to care.

        Biden also outed himself as aging badly on the national stage. Allies are going to be diplomatic about it, but they definitely noticed.
