Meanwhile in Ukraine...
According to the AP:
* Zelenskyy says that he wants trilateral peace talks with the US and Russia, but Russia has not agreed.
* He is concerned about the effect of the Middle East conflict on Ukraine's air defense stockpiles.
* Zelenskyy insists that the US has reached out to Ukraine about its drone technology, in spite of comments by POTUS that the US doesn't need Ukraine's help on drone defense.
* Ukraine is in no hurry to reopen the Druzhba pipeline, which until late January transported Russian oil to Slovakia and Hungary. Hungary in particular is acting out (my term).

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
