🤡🤡🤡 Putin will categorically not accept the deployment of US and European troops in Ukraine. This is fraught with uncontrolled escalation, — Russian MFA

Because Russia wants to take the rest at a later date.

Too bad we (Western and Southern Europe) have been so weak the last years and still are even until today where everyone is just looking at what Trump says. If we all would have done as much as some of the Eastern European countries, Trump wouldn't be in the position to dictate what to do but here we are now, I really believe Ukraine will agree to most of the shit the US and Putin are asking for now and in some years Russia will fuck Ukraine again...it's just a huge loss for the whole of Europe, Russia will laugh their ass off and USA already sees new opportunities to put economy above anything and will happily trade with Russia again.

I shouldn't think so much about this shit but I have some Ukrainian friends now, people who fled in 2022, who started to work in my company and who I regularly meet outside the job.

I also wonder how long it will take until my country will tell them to go back because "it's safe again"...

🇺🇸 "In a week or two, we will know whether we have succeeded or whether these terrible battles will continue," Trump said.

‼️ Trump, European leaders, NATO Secretary General, and Zelensky are moving to a closed-door meeting format.

Lmao. Too Weak Trump saving the day, ironically likely one of the better case scenarios.

Launch of strategic bombers carrying cruise missiles. The number and targets are being confirmed.

During the night, “Kinzhal” launches from MiG aircraft are also possible. At least 3 Tu-95MS bombers are currently in the sky.

A “red” alert has been issued for potential Kalibr cruise missile launches from carriers at sea, according to monitoring sources.

Suspilne reports that the meeting between Zelenskyy, Trump, and European leaders at the White House has concluded, according to its sources.

A short meeting.

So he interrupts the meeting to call Putin then shortly after the call to Putin ends the meeting completely?

Did the phone call with Putin go bad or did Putin tell him to end the meeting? Lol.

this is where Stubb was sitting when Trump couldn't see him btw

❗️Trump's meeting with Zelensky and European leaders has ended - White House

I don't think even Russia is really fond of the idea. I mean, I'm sure they'd love to, but they can certainly see it's very costly. I think they just want to be able to project power over Ukraine, which they can't do if Ukraine has actually reliable allies. But if Ukraine is without reliable allies and has to give up its fortified areas? That's another thing. Anyway, I think power projection was the whole point of the war, because Ukraine was sliding closer to the West and NATO membership, and projecting power was only going to get harder for Russia.
