      Trump: “I can fix this!”

      [uses big Sharpie to draw new Russian border down the middle of Ukraine]

      “There. Half each. Everyone’s happy!”

      Of couse they have that right, we are paying the war for you

      Zelenskyy is right. His cause is right. Russia is wrong. Simple as that. Let’s hope the universe balances out.

      This is true in a simplistic sense, but Ukraine can’t sustain the war effort without the United States as a backer. So when it comes down to reality those who supply the arms can also supply the terms.

      So, if Trump wants to negotiate – what Zelenskyy is saying here will hardly matter. Unless Europe steps up to fill the gap, which given the political situation in both France and Germany seems unlikely.

      This would be the understatement of the year. It’s his country, his war to defend against; with the rest of the world in his corner. Putin will go down a loser and all for nothing, costing millions of lives in the process.

      Well to be honest if someone has been financing the existence of your nation for the past 2 years I think they have a minor say in that matter at least?

      Since Russia’s invasion, the United States has provided Ukraine with around $75 billion in military, financial and humanitarian aid. “Other NATO allies and partners have provided over $100 billion,” the secretary general said.15. feb. 2024

      >Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stressed that no country or world leader has the right to negotiate with Russia on behalf of Ukraine. He noted that any dialogue with the Kremlin must be held according to an agreed action plan and only from a position of strength.

      >**Source:** Zelenskyy speaking during a video conferencing session with Le Parisien readers about the results of talks with Trump in Paris; Ukrinform

      >**Details:** Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine determines its own future, and no other nation or political leader has the right to dictate terms.

      >**Quote from Zelenskyy:** “I insist that no leader in the world has the right to negotiate with Putin on behalf of Ukraine. We have never delegated this mandate to anyone. We are the victims. It would be unfair if everyone started saying how the country should live. The French people in France, Italians in Italy or Americans in the United States know what they want for themselves. So do Ukrainians.”

      >**More details:** The president also outlined the importance of creating a peace plan to ensure fair conditions for any dialogue with the Russian side. He stressed that peace could be achieved only when Ukraine is strong enough and has guarantees of support from international partners.

      >**Quote from Zelenskyy:** “It’s not about the person in front of you. What matters is the state you are in during the negotiations. I don’t think we are in a weak position, but we are not in a strong position either. Are we in NATO? We don’t know. Will we be part of the European Union? Yes, in the future, but when? To sit down with Putin under such conditions would mean giving him the right to decide everything in our part of the world. First, we need to create a model, an action plan or a peace plan, whatever you want to call it. Then we can present it to Putin or, more broadly, to Russians.”

      >**More details:** The president emphasised that Ukraine determines its own future, and no other nation or political leader has the right to dictate terms. Zelenskyy says that the current situation requires a clear strategy that guarantees the security of Ukrainians and long-term stability.

      >**Quote from Zelenskyy:** “Who can guarantee that Putin will not return to Ukraine [after a ceasefire is established]? What country will help us with its aircraft and troops? All we have now are bilateral guarantees from our partners regarding military and financial support. But if Putin comes back with his millions of people, will we be defending ourselves again? Or will we watch our women and children die? This is not an issue of joining NATO, this is an issue of ensuring our security.”

      >**Background:** Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said during a video conference with Le Parisien readers that US President-elect Donald Trump is aware of Ukraine’s reluctance to surrender and freeze the war.

      One of those things that you didn’t know that you actually had to say.

      We learned something.

    24. Worldly-System-251 on

      Then no world leader should provide Ukraine with weapons either

      He who pays the piper, calls the tunes.

      Ukraine has shed a lot of blood fighting bravely. I really hope they are not betrayed.

    27. Seventh_dragon on

      He is no longer a legitimate president for almost 8 months, so he doesn’t have such right as well.

    28. Analyst-Effective on

      Nobody is negotiating for Ukraine. If they are talking about Donald Trump’s plan, Ukraine can refuse it.

      The USA can only vote with their dollars.

    29. xchillaxingx on

      Everyone’s been waiting a couple years now for zelenskyy to negotiate anything besides his bank account balance. The poor souls stuck in Ukraine .. . Godspeed

    31. Flaky-Jim on

      To be fair, it’s not much of a negotiation when Trump is told what to do by Putin.
