Putin persuaded Trump to compel Ukraine to accept a 3-day ceasefire for Russia's victory day.
Trump claimed 1000 POW from each side would be exchanged.
Zelensky accepted.
Russia responded with 1,400 drones and ballistic missiles against civilians in 30 hours afterwards.
No POW exchange so far.
No protest from the US or Trump.
Once again Trump shows that he supports Putin.
@skolbankston@ItsTheEnforcer Well hitler used hyperbolic speech for decades. Worldview/ideology is really what is disturbing though.. no moral compass at all..
Yes, Trump works for Putin however he can:
1. He votes with Putin in the UN.
2. He has never seriously criticized Putin or his war on Ukraine (blaming it on Biden & Zelensky!).
3. Trump has stopped ALL aid to Ukraine.
4. Trump wants Ukraine to give up more land to Russia.
Donald Trump just claimed again that the US donated 350 Billion dollars to Ukraine.
You are being lied to by your sitting President on the United States of America.
Let’s break this down with the facts rather than these random numbers Donnie is trying to sell you after finishing his nap.
Independent tracking by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy estimated that between January 24, 2022 and June 30, 2025, U.S committed aid to Ukraine amounted to about $134 billion, not $350 billion….it gets better.
Already a $166 Billion dollar difference than what Trump claims.
Please understand committed and allocated isn’t the same as what has actually been delivered.
56% ($74.9 billion USD) of all funds “allocated not supplied” were for weapons.
HOWEVER the $74.9 of weapons (Allocated and not necessarily all provided) were independently evaluated and subsequently massively overvalued by the US Government. The True cost of lethal aid was predicted to cost around $18.3 billion even by United States weapons pricing.
One reason: when equipment is drawn from existing U.S. inventories “drawdown”, the official accounting often uses replacement-cost valuations, rather than the original (or depreciated) cost.
To put it plainly, if you give Ukraine one air defense system, you account for the cost of a brand new air defense system to take its place not for the cost of the 45 year old system that was handed over.
Many of the weapons provided to Ukraine was soon to be destroyed by the US forces or decommissioned.
ALSO it’s important to take note as we all know the American arms industry massively overvalues the cost of all system due to its industry. America prices its systems at anything from 30-100% higher than the cost of European equivalents with the same capabilities. The true value of these weapons could have been anything from $5.49 billion-$18.3 Billion.
Even with a significantly lower number of this, Independent analysts suggested that a large share perhaps 60% or more of the nominal military-aid dollar amount may effectively stay within U.S. defense industry…..60%!
Out of aid provided $54 Billions dollars was Financial aid consisting of grants, loans, budget support.
Of the US $54.0 billion in U.S. financial-aid allocations for that period, about US $19.3 billion was provided as loans, while roughly US $29.7 billion was given as grants.
🚨🚨That means approximately 39–40% of the U.S. financial aid during that time was structured as loans or other repayable/concessional financing.🚨🚨
The US $3.4 Billion in Humanitarian aid.
Here is another kicker. After everything I have just said. According to United states press briefings: the U.S. had only delivered around 83% of promised ammunition, about 67% of pledged air-defence systems, and roughly 60% of committed bombs, artillery rounds, other munitions.
$5.49 billion-$18.3 Billion
$29.7 billion
$3.4 Billion
That $350 Billion is looking more like it was 38.59- 51.4 billion to me Donnie.
And it’s a funny number that.
An estimated $30–60 billion dollars was spent by Americans allies fighting alongside the US after 9/11. This included Ukraine.
We never once complained about this loss or the lives we lost.
Absolutely shameful.
Nathan Gill has just been sentenced to 10 years in prison for receiving £40,000 from Russia to push their agenda. In particular, he was pushing “a so-called ‘peace plan’ for the Donbas region” for Russia.
Is Witkoff doing the same for free? And how many years should he get? 🤔
@DiscussingFilm I knew not to expect too much of realism... but somehow the flying tank felt more believable than a Finn casually crossing the soviet border to visit his old home - that was easily the most unrealistic thing Ive seen in cinema in the last 50 years.
This is ridiculous:
1. Trump has supported Putin & his war of aggression against Ukraine all along, stopping all aid to Ukraine. Even if he lies all the time, believe his actions.
2. Ukraine has asked for Tomahawks (which Trump would never give against his friend Putin). /1
UBN: "Trump has expressed his disappointment with Putin for the eighth time..."
Take note: What Trump says about Putin is meaningless.
It just complains a little to cover his political back in the US, where Putin is not popular.
This is not news but coverup.

The problem with this kind of tweet is that it presupposes that Trump is on the side of the West.
We have few or any reasons to believe that.
Trump loves Putin.
What nonsense!
The EU has introduced substantial new sanctions on Russia since Trump became president, while Trump has imposed NO sanctions on Russia.
Shut up or start telling us the truth:
Trump serves Putin and you serve Trump.
