Ukraine prepared to cede territory held by Russia
Zelensky’s softened position comes ahead of Friday’s Trump-Putin peace summit in Alaska
“Russia & the US have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine. [..] Russia would have military & econ control of occupied Ukraine under its own governing body, imitating Israel’s de facto rule of Palestinian territory seized from Jordan in 1967.”
Not JUST the territory Russia has already seized. Apparently he wants Ukraine to also give up the entire Donbas region, even the areas that Ukraine currently controls. Worst part is everyone knows such a deal will just embolden Putin and he'll launch another invasion in a couple of years if Ukraine capitulates, either that or he'll start another war of expansion in some OTHER former soviet territory.He’s not only an idiot, but an untrustworthy one at that. Zelenskyy is wisely getting “back up” from European leaders because any guarantees from the US are worthless, right now.
Oh, and Trump’s grand plan to settle the conflict? Have Ukraine give up the territory Russia as already seized and promise NOT to join NATO in exchange for “Security Guarantees”. And being an adult that has already had to put up with Trump’s garbage last February, Zelenskyy knows that anything Trump says is completely worthless, as is any agreement with him.
Though, maybe this will all keep Donald distracted to avoid mucking about with any more tariffs or similar economic tomfuckery.
Trump's strategy, or rather those of the forces whose puppet he is, seems to be to present Ukraine with a "deal" that the Ukrainian government cannot agree to, then portray Ukraine as willingly wanting the conflict to continue. It's always been the plan.He’s not only an idiot, but an untrustworthy one at that. Zelenskyy is wisely getting “back up” from European leaders because any guarantees from the US are worthless, right now.
