🇺🇦‼️ Now Ukraine and Europe are left alone, — Bloomberg

📍Trump did not fail in his attempt to stop the war — he simply never tried to do so.

📍From the beginning, Trump sought to restart relations with Russia for the sake of economic benefits for USA — intervention in the war only prevented this.

📍From the Russian point of view, everything turned out for the best: Putin put forward some vague new proposal to start direct negotiations with Ukraine and outlined his demands in a memorandum.

📍Now that Trump is out of the game, Putin has fewer reasons than ever to make concessions.

"Oh Donald. You're amazing. We think you're so smart. We really respect America now"

Putin and his friends as soon as he ends the phone call:

Respects America so much that he rejected all of Trump's ceasefire proposals outright, immediately broke a watered down ceasefire agreed between Trump and Putin, aired his wife's nudes over state TV, openly and publicly mocked making him wait for his phone call during an interview with Russian media, made zero concessions to America and got a promise of a trade deal out of it.

"Nobody will remove the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions from the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It reflects the realities of the time." - Russian State Duma.

German Defense Minister Pistorius commenting on Trump:

"You don't do this. (...) It has created a situation where it is much harder for us to establish a ceasefire or peace."

Pistorius further elaborates regarding the Trump-Putin talks:
