Shame on the Ukrainian leadership.
Makes no difference. A deal with trump can be ignored at anytime.
Real? 😂
Question if Ukraine loses does it mean Trump will not get his precious minerals?
Best deal that could be achieved, the minerals need a lot of investment to extract. Would that money be available post war most likely not. Hopefully this will help the Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦
Russia might as well have crimea ..ukraine got no sovereignity , zelensky sold out😂
First 10yrs its unlikely profit will be made
Crazy decision, Zelenskyj sold Ukraine out.
US and Russia are ready to take rest of country.
Starmer is playing Trump like a fiddle 😅
Trump can't be trusted. His signature is worthless.
Biden organized the Proxy War & wanted Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian for “Democracy” !
Trump wants Ukraine to reimburse funding & rare earth for all the military equipment Biden sent to Ukraine before !
Ukraine lost a whole generation of young people already ! How can Ukraine avoid further exploitation by the US ?
Should France keep distance from its Warmongering US Big Brother and develop more trades with other countries ?
Putin made a better offer.
Trump and Putin’s extortion scheme.
tbh what other choices does Ukraine have EU just gone silent a long ago
The issue is Putin. Trump is Putin's puppet. If you follow the lines forward, everything Trump is doing benefits Russia or Putin. Give Ukraine the ability to flatten Moscow.
Thats great news.
U.K. and Zelensky has no allies to wage war. Europeans can't even muster up 25,000 troops with a population of 500 million. Who and what are you warmongering for? Atlantic council has ruined your reputation Europe. And U.S. While Israel feels emboldened to attack civilians. And you have to turn a blind eye, because you have your own agenda.
Laughable, no company will ever be developing the so-called rare earths in ukraine.
How does stealing a woman's purse while she's being assaulted affect a deal with her?
Why doesn't he pay the $1.5 trillion current worth of Ukraine's nukes if he's not going to honor the Security Assurances agreement?
