Putin will coddle and flatter and fluff and pamper little baby Trump, but ultimately he will never allow Trump to "win" over him. I believe Putin cares about both the optics of it and his long-term goals of domination. Putin is Trump's master, and Putin intends to keep it that way.
I think he believes he is good at deal making bc people around him know they have to make him believe it was his idea all along. So he thinks he got his way but it was just others manipulating him all along.
And the reason they are giving is they are winning back territory thanks to Trump cutting military aid, and a ceasefire would let Ukraine resupply. Trump is simply helping Putin win.
Yeah...I mean since Trump gave away any sense of leverage Ukraine had in the infamous "you have no cards" melt down...why would Russia feel the need to compromise on anything? Slow clap, Trump. 🤦♂️
Be ready. Russian propaganda will start something. My thought is they'll accuse Ukraine of turning the world against the US. It's an old play book. But it works.
If you care about VA benefits or Ukraine defense, both of which are being slashed by the Trump administration, voice your opinion at the veterans rally. We must get loud in numbers for the Republicans in control to hear us since they seem to be deaf so far!
VOTE THEM OUT! Repubs passed the Backdoor Budget (bend over) CR. Support the Dems: Valimont in FL-1; Josh Weil in FL-6; Blake Gendebien in NY-21; Crawford for WI Supreme Court in the upcoming Special Elections. DONATE at https://www.actblue.com/directory? and State Legislatures at https://dlcc.org LOCK THEM UP!
Of course he did. They do not want a cease fire with Ukraine. They want to decimate the Ukrainians. Putin is hell-bent on complete destruction of the Ukrainian people. His fragile ego has taken a beating.
I am so tired of weak, fragile men in power. Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Orban they need to go.
This is where Trump calls Zelenskyy and tells him to sweeten the deal which will include substantial land forfeiture and maybe a handjob under the table
Zelenskyy and Europe and stooge Rubio just realized that Ukraine needs to concede much more to Putin, which Putin made clear to Trump in their perfect phone calls. I remember when Trump
campaigned on ending the war in one day, even before inauguration.
It's almost like Vladimir Putin doesn't actually give a s*** about Donald Trump's prerogatives and doesn't actually care about "going through" so much vis-a-vis 'shifty Schiff.'
No, they said it would be okay as long as Ukraine gives up land they took over and doesnt rearm because Russia totally would follow those terms 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
It a show and Putin’s got a new costume oddly from the Prop Department.
It can shoot bullets, lay down an oil slick and has a rotary dial phone in a sleeve cuff!
Wow. It’s like watching ‘Dr. No’ in ‘63!
But it is also a middle finger to best buddy Trump.
Of course they did. And I do not trust America one bit in any negotiation. Let Europe and Zelenskyy make deals on their own. I understand this is not easy, but there really is no other way. America is not be trusted. In the meantime Europe needs to do everything in their power to fight
Of course they rejected it! Russia has not stood by any of the cease fire agreements, should not surprise anyone. Russia was hoping, with the help of the new fascist USA backing him, Ukrain would just surrender.
Zelenskyy tried to talk sense recently in the Oval Office. … he did say Putin disregards ceasefires but they weren’t listening and did their performance
Color me shocked. There are, and always have been only two ways for the war to end: Ukraine decimates Russia's ability to occupy their land, or Russia packs up their things and leaves their territory voluntarily.
Our Fox Weekend Anchor Secretary of Defense already told Russia we’re willing to capitulate to their demands, so why would they agree to this in the meantime? Stunning incompetence.
Steve Witkoff looked really nervous on Face the Nation. When questioned about Trump’s negotiations with Putin he had nothing concrete to report but spent half the interview saying what a great job they were doing. It was a terribly uncomfortable interview.
2023:"I'll meet with Putin (and) Zelensky. They both have weaknesses and they both have strengths. And within 24 hours, that war will be settled. It'll be over"
2025:"Look, they're engaged in war. I'd like to bring them peace. It's hard to bring peace once they're at war. You know, it's very hard."
Putin is even trolling Trump by donning Zelensky-style combat fatigues… So now what, Mr. Trump? Feckless sanctions? No. Your only move now is to make a show of funneling arms to Ukraine like nobody has ever seen, enabling it to bomb Moscow the way Russia has been bombing Kyiv.
Ushakov & Putin are insane-Ukraine should never recognize the annexation of Crimea, nor give 1" of territory to Russia,
& Never pledge not to join NATO!
So this country’s current President will reply with, “okay, we did all we could”
Then turn around & say, the US cannot afford to keep supplying aid, intelligence, etc., to Ukraine, & will stop providing it, saying that they need to do more, or some other bullshit, in continued capitulation to Putin
Yeah Donald, weakening the position of Ukraine and Zelenskyy before negotiations even started sure was a great way to incentivize Putin to make a deal, right? Right?!!?

Moscow wants them weak, undefended, and with a puppet regime installed.
What could possibly go wrong with an offer you can't refuse?
The horrific thing is that Rubio will probably take it. He already has blood on his hands. What's a little more?
🤪

Who could have seen that coming?

They could have peace today if they actually wanted it.
Never happen
Crickets from the Frump Regime I’m sure.
Then again, maybe they are...
Day 1 the war will end - Trump
Putins got so much dirt on trump , Putin can get anything he wants
Rubio and Hegseth have decided
however Ukraine has not surrendered
we pray for putin's death, maybe in a tesla with 2 passengers
2025:"Look, they're engaged in war. I'd like to bring them peace. It's hard to bring peace once they're at war. You know, it's very hard."
Trump does not have the cards. 🃏
To Congress and their constituents: keep pressure on Trump to supply Ukraine with intelligence and defensive arms please.
You can't have a cease fire without the two sides at the table.
& Never pledge not to join NATO!
Right.
Then turn around & say, the US cannot afford to keep supplying aid, intelligence, etc., to Ukraine, & will stop providing it, saying that they need to do more, or some other bullshit, in continued capitulation to Putin
do not give in
