Russia's "significant" incursion through the front lines in the Donbass has blown up in spectacular fashion with hundreds of Russians surrendering and hundreds more killed.

McFaul, who served in the Obama administration, said during an appearance on NBC News where he is an analyst that it was a “brilliant, brilliant” idea for the seven European leaders to meet with President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington.The former ambassador said “talking about security guarantees with European soldiers being a part of that — that is major progress, with American assistance.”“Whoever had the idea to bring all these European leaders together in addition to President Zelensky, that was a brilliant, brilliant idea,” McFaul told NBC.“And having it come so quickly after Alaska was also very important, because now they’ve changed the talking points here. Just in this meeting alone, they’ve walked back some of the positions that the president was echoing when he met with President Putin,” he continued, referring to the Russian leader.
