There is a big build up of Russian-inspired incidents taking place around Poland/Baltics - including creating several thousand new military hospital slots. After the Duma elections we'll see if Putin is bluffing, or genuinely wants to start a campaign to split NATO, now he knows Trump won't act.

77% of Ukrainians say Ukraine should continue armed resistance even if Russian winter attacks leave people without electricity, heat or sewage, a KIIS poll found. 12% favor accepting any Russian demands, even if they look like capitulation, while 11% are undecided. Kyiv recorded 83% support #Ukraine

There is NO energy ceasefire: russia struck Ukraine’s energy infrastructure again overnight, leaving widespread power outages across five regions.
Also, russia hit multiple gas stations, including in Kyiv. This is the kind of “energy ceasefire” you can expect from russia.
As always, Trump lied.

Drones over Lithuania, flares fired at Danish aircraft, the Polish border strike. These attacks are a direct result of Europe’s weak response to Leipzig & all other provocations.
It’s past time. The EU must ban Russian tourists. NATO must help defend western Ukrainian airspace.

If Trump says "stop hitting Russian energy targets" then that's your signal to increase the intensity. Maximum effort until Putin surrenders.
