I don’t understand why the media put it like it is @realDonaldTrump ‘s fault but he is just trying to save money for his country to fire useless worker

It breaks my heart to say it, but this is Ireland.

We are in serious trouble.

Brussels seeks to bend us to its will - confiscating our rights and imposing its globalist agenda. We refuse to back down. Instead, we will reclaim what is ours and transform the EU from within. History will turn, scores will be settled, Hungary stands firm!

@realDonaldTrump I think they really show that they want peace and last Friday was a single incident for this country. Your help would be appreciated and many of my Ukrainian friends really need your involvement to get it right.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.

None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.

We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.

We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.

Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.

Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.

Everyone was appalled by Trump's disgraceful attack on Zelensky – except Nigel Farage, of course.

Trump is not a reliable ally against Russia, so I am proud that the UK is leading with our European and Commonwealth allies for Ukraine's defence and our collective security.

[Nok @NokiaTang]

I watched the video of the discussion between @ZelenskyyUa and @realDonaldTrump , and I believe I can offer some insights. I don’t think @realDonaldTrump is trying to stop supporting Ukraine, but I do think @ZelenskyyUa could consider minimizing the emphasis on security guarantees.

From what I understand, president Trump is aiming to establish a co-development agreement with Ukraine, bringing American companies into the country to generate strategic interest. A similar situation occurred during the U.S.-China trade war when China restricted mineral exports to the U.S., creating a resource security threat. This is why Ukraine’s mineral resources are valuable to the U.S. and serve as a strong incentive for them to help protect your country.

At the same time, President Trump appears hesitant to include direct security guarantees in the agreement, as he is also attempting to negotiate with Russia to stabilize the region. However, if the U.S. secures significant resource interests in Ukraine, that could provide a strong motivation for them to ensure the country’s security, particularly in the context of competition with China.

The issue isn’t about implementing security measures but rather about what they are intended to protect. The U.S. is a capitalist country that prioritizes its own interests. If Ukraine aligns with those interests, particularly in areas of strategic value, I am confident that the U.S. would take steps to protect Ukraine , especially in relation to China.

Yesterday I spoke to my friend in Ukraine who just got hit by the drone.

When you give money to someone, of course you will expect thank you sincerely, not just thank you by the mouth and actually being thankful. You still don’t understand what the @realDonaldTrump administration mean

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

VP Vance asked for a thank you for an aid package he voted against. His administration also told Zelensky that he (1) has to give up parts of his country to Putin , (2) cant join NATO, (3) has to pay back the US for past aid, and (4) there will no new aid. So exactly why does Vance think he is owed a thank you?

The American people deserve a thank you & have received it from Zelenskyy many times.

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

Today @SergiiMarchenk3 and I signed the UK-Ukraine Bilateral Agreement to deliver £2.26bn of new funding to Ukraine.

This will be repaid using profits from sanctioned Russian sovereign assets.

Action, not just words - Britain stands with Ukraine.

During my senate campaign in 2022, I met a Ukrainian-American man in NE Ohio. He was very angry about my views on the conflict, and my desire to bring it to a rapid close.

"You are trying to abandon my country, and I don't like it."

"Sir, I replied, "your country is the United States of America, and so is mine."

I always found it offensive that a new immigrant to our country would be willing to use the power and influence of their new nation to settle the ethnic rivalries of the old.

One of the most important parts of assimilation is seeing *your* country as the USA. It's part of the bargain: if you're welcomed into our national family, you ought to look out for the interests of the United States. I know many immigrants who have the right perspective, and I'm grateful to them. For example, I met many Ukrainian Americans during that campaign (and since) who agreed with my views, or at the very least, asked the right question: what is in the best interests of the United States?

[Nok @NokiaTang]

@elonmusk I asked @grok regarding Ukraine should sign the mineral deal with USA and here is the answer 😂 @ZelenskyyUa you can use @Grok to help you to make the decision

This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say.

For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn't have started if President Trump was in office; second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory. This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today.

And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored. What is Niall's actual plan for Ukraine? Another aid package? Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans or their even more depleted industrial base?

Instead, he quotes from a book about George HW Bush from a different historical period and a different conflict. That's another currency of these people: reliance on irrelevant history.

President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts. And here are some facts:

Number one, while our Western European allies' security has benefitted greatly from the generosity of the United States, they pursue domestic policies (on migration and censorship) that offend the sensibilities of most Americans and defense policies that assume continued over-reliance.

Number two, Russians have a massive numerical advantage in manpower and weapons in Ukraine, and that advantage will persist regardless of further Western aid packages. Again, the aid is *currently* flowing.

Number three, the United States retains substantial leverage over both parties to the conflict.

Number four, ending the conflict requires talking to the people involved in starting it and maintaining it.

Number five, the conflict has placed--and continues to place--stress on tools of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions (and so much else). We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe. But most importantly, it is bad for the United States.

Given the above facts, we must pursue peace, and we must pursue it now. President Trump ran on this, he won on this, and he is right about this. It is lazy, ahistorical nonsense to attack as "appeasement" every acknowledgment that America's interest must account for the realities of the conflict.

That interest--not moralisms or historical illiteracy--will guide President Trump's policy in the weeks to come.

And thank God for that.
