@TraderNorway @ZelenskyyUa I think u should move to Russia …. If you don’t already live there already since u r so eager to have other people live under Putin and his thugs .. you

Who are you trying to fool here, Zelensky? As long as you refuse to hand over control of any land to Russia and is dead set on not staying neutral, you will have war in your country. Its the complete opposite on what Russia demand. Do you and your EU understand what a negotiation means? You are signing on to more war and more deaths of Ukrainians. Dont blame anyone else for that. That is a decision YOU have made and the consequences that follow. Trump and US have been trying to find a middle ground here between you two and get peace. While you and your retards in EU have these laughable "peace formula" meetings where you stroke each other you-know-what. So I hope Trump backs out from offering you any weapons or Intel regarding this war. And Elon Musk shuts you off from using Starlink. Because you are living in a fantasy where you think you and Europe can win this war. Now lets see how far you can go without US. Dont come crying if you end up losing more soldiers and land in the future. Its a decision YOU have made

I’ve just had a long and substantive phone call with @SteveWitkoff and @jaredkushner, alongside Andrii Hnatov and @rustem_umerov. I am grateful for a very focused, constructive discussion. We covered many aspects and went through key points that could ensure an end to the bloodshed and eliminate the threat of a new Russian full scale invasion, as well as the risk of Russia failing to honour its promises, as has happened repeatedly in the past. Ukraine is determined to keep working in good faith with the American side to genuinely achieve peace. We agreed on the next steps and formats for talks with the United States. I thank President Trump @POTUS for such an intensive approach to negotiations. I am now awaiting Rustem Umerov and General Hnatov with a detailed in person report. Not everything can be discussed over the phone, so we need to work closely with our teams on ideas and proposals. Our approach is that everything must be workable – every crucial measure for peace, security, and reconstruction. Thank you!
