“As [former US] president Reagan once said, ‘Peace is not just the absence of war’. We’re talking about just and lasting peace – freedom, justice and human rights for everyone. A ceasefire won’t work with Putin. He has broken ceasefires 25 times over the past 10 years. A real peace is the only solution.”

V. Zelenskiy, March 2025

"You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards," Trump said.

"I'm not playing cards, I'm very serious, Mr. President," Zelenskiy said.

"You're playing cards. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people, you're gambling with World War Three," the U.S. president continued.

"You're either going to make a deal, or we're out, and if we're out, you'll fight it out. I don't think it's going to be pretty," Trump told #Zelenskiy.

In reality, you have a deal or you don’t.

In deplomacy you are always very close to having a deal regardless.

Trump thinks he can shakedown #Ukraine. The truth is Ukraine can survive without a bad deal. Trump is actually the weaker party as he really wants a political win, whereas #Zelenskiy can only accept a fair deal.

Trump expects the world to bend around him. Europe hosted two world wars.

RE
US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals #reuters

That's bad, just when #ukraine is producing quality offensive #drone #trembita (see image)

"#Zelenskiy rejected a _detailed_ U.S. proposal last week...”

#zelenskyy rejected a piece of.. paper. Because #Trump keeps lying about the amount given, MOST of the money aid from the US is given to US companies

The #UN vote comes amid a widening rift [instigated by Trump] between Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskiy & US President Donald #Trump, who is trying to rapidly end the war in Ukraine & whose team has held talks w/ #Russia without the involvement of Kyiv.

The draft #UN resolution… "calls for a de-escalation, an early cessation of hostilities & a peaceful resolution of the war against #Ukraine ... in line with the UN Charter & #InternationalLaw".

#Zelensky says if you save our #Nazis #coup regime we'll let you loot our mineral resources.🤭

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskiy pored over a once-classified map of vast deposits of #rareearths and other critical minerals during an interview with Reuters on Friday,"

" 'Let's do a deal', Zelensky offers Trump ( ie. The US) minerals, seeking security"
