  • European leaders to join Ukraine's Zelenskyy for White House meeting with Trump

    From cbsnews.com

    European and NATO leaders will join Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his crucial meeting with President Trump on Monday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday. The move in relation to the key White House meeting is an apparent effort to prevent a repeat of the heated encounter Zelenskyy faced when he met Mr. Trump in the Oval Office in February. The European leaders' presence at Zelenskyy's side, demonstrating Europe's support for Ukraine, could potentially help ease concerns in Kyiv and in other European capitals that Zelenskyy risks being railroaded into a peace deal that Mr. ...

The trouble is, the Europeans don't worry Putin, so they can't make a deal without the U.s/Trump. The deal will be that Putin keeps all the land he has gained, incl Crimea, no NATO m/ship, but Eu m/ship - well maybe,? but in some time, Zelensky will go anyway, and as for Ukraine becoming more Moscow-centric - well that's a hard one to enforce anyways, in a country with with free elections which Zelensky won't give up. Moscow may make a small concession in return of some land in the current 'disputed' areas that they are still fighting over on the edges of the larger regions Russia has already taken, but who knows on this point? This is just 'real politique' as they call it, it's not right and it's not fair, but it's the way it is or keep fighting in a war you can't win/that the west won't supply you with enough arms to win, - it doesn't matter - it amounts to the same thing. It's a Russian win unfortunately, (for now @ least,) and Ukraine have to decide which is the least worst outcome for them. There are no good outcomes. Frankly if the deal has any hint of security guarantees from the U.s/Nato as reported today, Zelensky would be a fool not to take it, notwithstanding the other matters listed above, because as stated, it's a war he cannot win anyway, so to throw more lives and other resources at it is crazy.

I hope that with joint efforts all Russian criminals will be severely punished. The collective mind of creative thinking and development must win. Strength to our president and our Ukrainian people. I wish only peace and goodness to all people. People who call Zelensky a fool do not even understand the internal structure of Ukraine and Ukrainians. They talk about some kind of victory for Russia. If you consider terrorizing civilians a victory for Russia, then you need to think about your moral principles of life...
your country as been a cespit for a very long time

Zelensky is not the president. His term ran out months ago. Even in world war 2 they held elections. Hold elections so peace can be done by a rightful president

Obvious that Trump wants out of any support for Ukraine. US can sell arms to EU countries and they can supply Ukraine, but unless French, British, Dutch, German, etc boots are on the ground, Ukraine is running out of troops, and that's that. The "secondary tariffs" ie, sanctions against countries doing business with Russia proved to be toothless, as India and China would not back down from that. What these years of war have shown is 1) how weak militarily Russia is (but they will probably emerge stronger); and 2) how diminished the USA has become under Trump (but it's certainly not all on Trump.) Putin probably advised his protege that the USD's reserve currency status is not as secure as it has been (to say the least.) Russia, India, China et al could revolt against the USD and then we would see what the USA means to the World. I mean, without the mighty Dollar and with the US military abandoning its role as World Policeman, where does that leave us?

Do you want to be superior by insulting? Or what do you want to say? Is any country that is undergoing transformation, especially after the authoritarian Soviet Union, a garbage dump? Of course, Ukraine is going through a difficult path of development, but this does not give you the right to make such statements. Correctness adorns people.

Think about the elections in your country. In Ukraine, we will deal with our government ourselves.
