Fuck these Trump-Putin motherfuckers. I guarantee they are looking for someone who will just deliver all of Ukraine right to Russia since they know Putin isn’t interested in peace. Zelensky emphasizes Ukrainian sovereignty and thus stands in the way. Disgusting!
In wartime this is considered subversion and should be punished. Any Ukrainian citizen who participated in this should be arrested. If this had happened in England in WWII, these people would have been arrested as well. As far as the Trump entourage, they should not be allowed in Ukraine again.
Once again, these people have no understanding of Ukrainians. No Ukrainian politician is going to accept Putin’s “peace” and if they even find one, and install them…they will not be in power very long.
tramp is accustomed with "coups d'etat". He did his first experience with the capitol assault. Will he send QAnon in Kiiv ?
Time has come to urgently place him under an international arrest warrant. What's doing the International Criminal Court ?
Some say it has to to with a beauty contest in Moscow, DT organized then [and what happened in the hotels]. - And he wanted to build a T. Tower also in Moscow, making money&profit on Real Estate. It was then suddenly broke up. A part of background is also to find in documentaries which were aired.
Edit. broken up 🙃. /The documentaries The T.rump familiy; DT's way to Power. The Story of the Beauty Contest stories were published by international press. Ugly stuff. Very much awkward for DT.
We'll see a huge amount of election interference not only by Ruzzia but by the U.S too. What a shithole of a country Trump is turning the United States into. At least the ukrainians know better than to trust the ruzzian poodles in their country.
They are confident they are able to influence the election in a way they want.
I don't trust any election results since Brexit vote, if not even earlier.
The tools at hand are getting better.
Yes, that's why this information needs to be circulated as widely as possible so Ukrainians and democracy supporters know what these crooks are up to. They are trying to reverse Maidan.
that is what Russia typically does to its neighbours, but Russia has no influence in Ukraine left whatsoever, so now US is doing Putins dirty work for them
The question today is whether the #GOP Congress is going to reign in Trump's foreign policy escapades. So far, all indications is that they are willing to allow Trump to trash our strongest alliances in N. America and NATO in pursuit of an alliance with dictatorial aggressor nations.
Shades of this from 2016: Emin Agalarov, allegedly offered the Trump campaign “very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump,” to which Trump Jr. replied, “If it’s what you say I love it.”
Didn’t US involve us in regime change in Iraq? That turned out well! Didn’t Trump sell out Afghanistan to the Taliban? Turned out well for women there and the last troops dealing with the exit. US is now 51st state of Russia, he and his Duma are handing Ukraine to Putin. How the mighty have fallen.
I wonder about that too. If they have ambitions, aren't they afraid to be seen as traitors now that the true face of the trump administration is becoming evident?
But you know there is quite likely a lot of difference in what they will say publicly to privately. That they were prepared to have these meetings speaks volumes I’m afraid.
First off, SOMEONE did not keep the secret meeting secret.
I doubt it wasn't the trump side, so who did? -> Opposition leaders.
Why did this person tell? -> Because they do not agree to those talks.
Of course I'm assuming a lot here, but Okham would probably agree.
I think that’s a charitable interpretation. There are a lot of leaks from Trumps WH always have been. Having secret meetings with Trump behind is anti democratic. There’s no positive spin to be put on this.
If I were one of these person I would have reached out to President Zelensky privately and asked what message he wanted me to give them if they tried again.
"Ukraine was to regain full control ... only after elections were held in the occupied territories & ... provisions ... were implemented.
...Russia was free to continue supplying weapons to its proxies until Kyiv implemented ... Moscow’s conditions."
Trump is determined to sell out Ukraine. He’ll try (personally no doubt) to profit off your demise no matter who the leader will be. It’s all very sick & sad. Hopefully the EU can try to meet this moment.
The issue is even bigger, though. Given Trump‘s shift away from sharing intelligence with the Ukrainian government, why should we assume he’s not sharing it with Putin instead? Why should any of our allies trust our intelligence sharing agreements?
"The official line from the U.S. administration is that Trump is not interfering in Ukraine’s domestic politics. This week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick denied his boss was “weighing into Ukrainian politics,” adding all that Trump wants is a partner for peace."
"The senior Trump allies held talks with Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, and senior members of the party of Petro Poroshenko, Zelenskyy’s immediate predecessor as president, according to three Ukrainian parliamentarians and a U.S. Republican foreign policy expert."
"All of that is prompting Zelenskyy’s domestic political opponents and even some former allies to pay court to Trump World to gain its blessing. “They’re positioning themselves as the best people to work with. And people who would consent to many of the things that Zelensky isn’t consenting to,”
Of note, Zelensky currently leads in future election polling. His primary challenger, former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi, is arguably more of a war hawk.
I can't wait to see Zelensky be able to hand over the reigns. God knows the man deserves a break. But he will work himself to death rather than let his country fall into the wrong hands.
Eu needs to come out ahead of this - start grabbing headlines and say this is never happening - then make sure - by giving ukraine the frozen funds and sorry - see it now - going to war in ukraine - against russia - once this happens - the US plans are fked
Basically Trump wants a coup, it is clear that Zelensky cannot be replaced now. Also his Europeism and contrast to the oligarchs will be the baseline for his successors.
Who Trump contacted are the past .
1) The constitution forbids it
2) How are people in occupied territories and those kidnapped to russia going to vote?
3) This is a destabilization tactic that Russia has been pushing for a while.
I'd assume Tymoshenko would feast on Putin's raw liver if given the opportunity, or did I miss some developments in ukrainian politics in the last few years?

That usually explains what the orange felon does and says
Idiots (to put it nicely)

This is personal…
But that is when I knew we could trust Zelensky, because he paid dearly for having integrity
UK cancelled multiple projects because the USA promised a cheaper alternative, only to have the offer pulled, delayed or reveal the actual costs.

"How about the US helps you get rid of Zelensky?
-"Fuck you!"

F*CK THESE A-holes!

Trump is a #traitor
His collaborators are #traitors
We’re about to be isolated. Perilously.
Trump *always* betrays his associates.
Remember Sammy The Bull! 🐂
