US army secretary briefs ambassadors at ‘nightmare meeting’ in Kyiv on Friday after talks with Ukrainian leader
US officials have told Nato allies they expect to push president Volodymyr Zelenskyy into agreeing to a peace deal in the coming days, under the threat that if Kyiv does not sign, it will face a much worse deal in future.
The US army secretary, Dan Driscoll, briefed ambassadors from Nato nations at a meeting in Kyiv late on Friday, after talks with Zelenskyy and taking a phone call from the White House. “No deal is perfect, but it must be done sooner rather than later,” he told them, according to one person who was present.
The mood in the room was sombre, with several European ambassadors questioning the content of the deal and the way in which the US had conducted the negotiations with Russia without keeping allies informed.
OK boomer.
Face worse? They are going to get invaded a second time? Because yes, that is the fear and why they won’t sign shit.
“HEY, BULLY, AND NERD, STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER! I DON’T CARE WHO STARTED IT, JUST GIVE HIM YOUR LUNCH MONEY OR IT WILL BE WORSE TOMORROW!”
This is a hail Mary for Putin. He knows his goose is cooked if Russia doesn’t win, and the only way he can win is if Trump forces Ukrain to surrender.
The bad news for Putin is that everybody already knows this, and also knows that Trump can’t really do much except act like the assclown that he is. The Europeans aren’t going to reward Putin. And they know that Trump’s days are numbered, and each of those days is going to show more cognitive decline and increasingly grotesque displays of megalomania, even if one of his many other crimes and scandals doesn’t render him incapable of further outrages.
And whether it’s Trump or Putin who goes first, the other will soon follow. They are propping each other up, and the whole arrangement is unstable.
Unfortunately the EU is sucking up to Trump nonstop. Now weakening the GDPR for example, and promising billions of investment while receiving nothing in return but a weak promise that there will be no further tariffs.
Second? Crimea was the first, this is second.
Russia is hoping third time is the charm
This has been going on since russian empire was not afraid to call itself that. The label changed multiple times, the imperialism did not.
In before ML claim that only the west can be imperial. There’s a reason all of Russia’s neighbors are Leary of them. And that former conquered states abolished most of the Soviet iconography placed in their states. And are fighting tooth and nail to stay separate. The USSR was one of the most imperialistic colonizing countries of the 20the century. Colonizing and conquering most of their neighbors.
What, are they going to bomb civilians and infrastructure so that we have power cuts every day? Oh wait…
Witkoff is a real estate agent, not a diplomat, and it shows. The deal is largely irrelevant or bullshit.
It’s so poorly written. A document like that is an important legal document, but it reads like it was written by an undergrad
Just embarrassing for the US to put out a document like that
Get it already. You should consider the current US administration as a group of imbeciles.
So MAGA actually stands for Make America Subservient To Russian And Israeli Interests? Who woulda tohunkit
Anyone with 2 brain cells thunk it
I wish US officials the worse fate possible.
Agent Krasnov doing his thing. One argument more for Europe to build up it’s military power and finally get their shit together.
And who exactly are these leaders working on behalf of? Because it sounds like this absolutely dogshit deal favors the Russians and gives them everything they want. They’re holding Ukraine at gunpoint and threatening them to accept a very unfavorable deal. With the Russians beside them.
It would be nice if I could say I hope the Europeans will tell Trump to shove his idiotic “plan” where the sun don’t shine. If only they weren’t a bunch of fucking spineless twerps.
And if they do sign the deal, it’s probably installing a Russian puppet regime, squeezing every penny by USA and Russia to pay back the war and a new invasion in 10 years.
Dear Krasnov - Quit Piggy.
US says a lot of things often contradicting itself these days. If most of the world hasn’t stopped listening to what it has to say, it soon will
