The American president betrayed Ukraine and Europe — British Sky News
➖“Ukraine and its allied European leaders will be disappointed and concerned that Donald Trump has betrayed them,” the publication writes.
▪️They expected Trump to impose tough sanctions on Russia, and now they are "looking in the face of calls for negotiations."
▪️Trump appears to have put little more pressure on Putin. European leaders had hoped Trump would follow through on his threats to push the Russian president toward a ceasefire.
▪️According to Putin, there was no talk of sanctions at all, and Trump even stated that Russia is in favor of a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
▪️Putin's statement that a ceasefire with Ukraine is possible after reaching agreements actually coincides with what Russia has been saying for the past two months.
Drama queens continue…

"Basically, the US is withdrawing from the negotiations and washing its hands of the situation" — the first reactions of the Ukrainian authorities to the recent talks between Putin and Trump have appeared
▪️The situation was commented on by Rada deputy Goncharenko, who latched onto the fact that Trump emphasized in his statement that "the conditions will be discussed between the two sides."
▪️According to the Ukrainian MP, this is the key phrase and it means that the US is withdrawing from the negotiations.
➖"And this is because we agreed to direct negotiations with the Russian Federation without the US," Goncharenko complains.
▪️He also predicts that the fighting will not end before the end of the year.
EU and Ukrainian leaders will not be happy with this call.

Ukraine wins Romanian elections' – LCI columnist François Clemenceau
'The victory of Bucharest Mayor Dan is, in fact, also a victory for Ukraine. This is extremely important. Because of its location on the Black Sea coast, Romania was very quick to provide military assistance to Ukraine at the beginning of the war. Artillery, air defense. Romania is now training Ukrainian F-16 pilots. It has also provided an alternative route for grain exports. And finally, Romania hosts a multinational NATO battalion led by France, and Constanta is home to the Alliance's largest air base on the eastern flank. So, the victory of a pro-European candidate in Bucharest is good news for Europe, good news for Ukraine, and therefore very bad news for Vladimir Putin.'

'The tanks have finally begun their long sea voyage to the battlefield. Australian officials have not said when the Abrams will arrive in Ukraine for security reasons. An american official dismissed the US as doubtful that the Ukrainians really want the vehicles. 'The tank roof is the weakest point of the Abrams, and this is drone warfare,' he said.

VP Vance: "We want to see Russia put their real peace proposal on the table."
That's funny Vance, they've been putting their proposal for peace on the table since 2024 minimum. By now I would forgive the guys at the Kremlin for having lost their patience at how often they've reiterated themselves.
Mister eyeliner then goes on to say that Russia "would benefit greatly from thawing relations with the rest of the world", perhaps ignoring that only the USA and Europe are sanctioning Russia. The rest of the word isn't, especially the other BRICS countries.
I don't know why, but I have the feeling that the leadership in Washington still hasn't come to terms with the reality, and that this phone call between Trump and Putin won't go very far beyond some generic platitudes.
@Slavyangrad
Hillary was among those who ignited the “superpredator” hysteria that resulted in the wave of incarceration against African-American youths.
Now she is suggesting that it is the job of economic migrants (documented and undocumented alike) to make babies for the US.
There is nothing inconsistent here. Hillary always was a sociopath who does not feel social boundaries. This is just her racist attitude toward non-White groups coming through, yet again, just couched in different language convenient for the political zeitgeist.
Everything to promote the Hillary brand. Everyone else, but primarily people who look different that she does, is fair game.

But in separate comments the Russian president sounded far more tentative about any process and did not spell out a substantive change in the Kremlin’s stance.
In remarks that indicated that Washington may be stepping back from a role as a mediator, Trump said the “conditions” for a deal could only be negotiated by the warring parties “because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of”.
Trump also said that immediately after the call with Putin, he gave his account of the conversation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy together with the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Finland and the European Commission.
One person familiar with the conversation said the leaders on the call were stunned by the US president’s description of what was agreed. They added it was clear Trump was “not ready to put greater pressure” on Putin to come to the negotiating table in earnest.
In European capitals, leaders fear that Trump could cut a deal with Putin that accedes to his maximalist demands and sells out Ukraine’s interests in his haste to end the fighting.
European pouting to commence.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Presidential aide Ushakov - on the conversation between Putin and Trump:
It was a frank and constructive conversation. And curiously, it began with our president congratulating Donald Trump on the birth of his 11th grandchild. And wished, naturally, health to the newborn and Trump's daughter.
It is curious that immediately after these congratulations, which I just mentioned, the presidents immediately began an in-depth discussion of the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, including taking into account the recent direct Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul.
The presidents did not talk about the time frame for a possible future ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, although Trump naturally emphasizes his interest in reaching an agreement as soon as possible.
Exchanges of imprisoned citizens of the two countries were mentioned. This is an important humanitarian action. The presidents noted that another exchange is being worked out now - 9 for 9 people.
There were a lot of digressions, that's why the conversation was so long, plus translation. But I will tell you, it's rare to have a conversation of this length where both presidents, neither president wanted to end the conversation, didn't want to, if I may say so, hang up the phone.
Trump said: "Vladimir, you can pick up the phone at any time, and I will be happy to answer, happy to talk to you." Such an ending also characterizes the nature of the conversation that took place between the leaders.

- Would you advise President Trump not to hold this face-to-face meeting, even if Vladimir Putin was ready for it?
- I would say that you need to find leverage before meeting him. What can you do to increase the pressure on Putin, to make him believe that it is in his interests not just to conclude a truce, but in fact at least to freeze the situation at the current stage.

The butchers of the TCC begin to work "on a civilian basis". The efficiency of busification increases sharply. The "volunteer" realizes what is happening only at the very last moment.
All that remains is to wait for the mobilization of women. And then anyone can drag any woman anywhere in broad daylight. They say it's mobilization.
