Zelenskyy is back in Trump’s good books as the U.S. pushes for peace in Ukraine

11 comments

1. A short summary:

   Tone shift: Zelenskyy’s latest Oval Office visit with Trump was far warmer than his previous, tense encounter.

   Trump’s message: Expressed love for Ukrainians, acknowledged suffering, and highlighted his wife’s sorrow over the war’s toll on children.

   Peace efforts: First Lady Melania Trump sent Putin a letter urging an end to the war; Zelenskyy’s wife sent Melania a thank-you letter.

   Talks: Trump said he’s willing to attend peace talks “if both sides want me there.”

   Security guarantees: Trump floated the idea of U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine if a peace deal is reached — a shift from past U.S. positions.

2. Good peace talks need to actually take place between Russia and Ukraine, I do feel though if he goes with trump to meet Putin he actually will be ganged up on but maybe im wrong.

3. Would you trust Trump? With your daughter?

5. He wore a suit!!!!

6. Imagine if Ukraine had defence assurances before they were invaded….oh, wait a minute.

7. Its all retoric.

   I want to see UK, French and Polish troops safeguarding western Ukraine, so they can free up troops for Donbass.

   I want to see the US pulling out all stops with militairy aid (which they cannot use in their coming Pacific showdown).

   I want to see new sanctions implemented which will cripple Russia’s fossil export economy.

8. “Fuck I should have gifted him a golf club” – Putin

9. I am hopeful for this war to end but it saddens me every time I see a foreign leader kiss Trump’s Ass.

10. So he is in the same book as Putin.

11. He’ll be back on his bad side soon, after he’s spoken with Putler.
