🇺🇸 Utterly despicable and treacherous: the U.S. is reportedly ready to recognize Crimea as Russian in a so-called "peace deal" — Bloomberg.

But what else could be expected from a man only here to boost his ego, not giving a single damn about Ukraine’s sovereignty.

The US no longer seriously considers new weapons for Ukraine, citing pro-Ukraine lawmakers. No guarantees on intel sharing either. The Trump admin is focused on what the US gets from Ukraine, not what it can give.

America’s interest in defending democracy? Gone.

Trump’s special envoy Keith Kellogg claims “Ukraine will not become part of NATO” and that the issue is not even being discussed.

Who exactly is he to make such declarations on behalf of the Alliance?

Ruslan and Margaryta Vynohrad — mother and son captured together at Azovstal — hadn’t seen each other in 3 years. Ruslan thought his mom had been exchanged long ago, kept writing her letters.

Today, they reunited… by chance, on the bus during the exchange. A moment beyond words.

President Trump and UK PM Keir Starmer had a call to discuss a “peaceful settlement” to the 'conflict' in Ukraine — just like Russia and other pro-Russia countries call it, avoiding the term “full-scale invasion.”

This watered-down language says it all.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha‎ in response to the Kremlin 'Easter truce': “Ukraine agreed to a full 30-day ceasefire back in March — Russia refused and kept attacking for 39 days. Now Putin offers 30 hours? This war exists because of Russia — and can end when they choose to stop.”

For anyone who wants to know what's going on in Ukraine right now. In Kherson, artillery is working like never before, Zaporizhzhya is quiet(er), Donetsk and Kharkiv much more activity.

There is no ceasefire.

Complete surrender to Russia by America.

⚡️‼️ Putin would potentially be willing to give up his previous demand for full control over four Ukrainian regions if the US makes broader geopolitical concessions to Moscow, for example, recognizing its control over Crimea and banning Ukraine from joining NATO, - FT.

Gee thanks, Russia promises to not take territory that they've not yet taken as long as they're allowed to keep the 15% they've stolen.



Ohh let me guess, since USA will recognize Crimea as Russia, USA will also tell Ukraine that they can't shoot anything at it anymore and they will tell as example Germany that sending Taurus will have consequences for Germany! Because we are all the bad ones and not Russia who just want PEACE and Europeans stop Russia from living in PEACE

Bastards couldn't even live with the name Gulf of Mexico and had to change it and want to tell Denmark how bad they are to Greenland but gifting Russia parts of Ukraine which they have stolen? No problem!
