Details of post-summit call were leaked in which US president supports plan for Kyiv to give up Donbas region

Donald Trump will back a plan to cede unoccupied Ukrainian territory to Russia to secure an end to the war between the two countries, it was reported on Saturday, after details of his post-summit call with European leaders leaked out.

Trump told European leaders that he believed a peace deal could be negotiated if the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, agreed to give up the Donbas region, which Russian invaders have not been able to seize in over three years of fighting, the New York Times reported, citing to two senior European officials.

Two sources with direct knowledge of the talks in Alaska told the Guardian that Putin demanded Ukraine withdraw from Donbas, which is made up of the Donestk and Luhansk regions, as a condition for ending the war, but offered Trump a freeze along the remaining frontline.

    F-off! The French should have ignored the American colonists plea for financial and military aid to boot out the Red Coats.

      What have they lost? MAGA was aligned with Putin from the start, because it was the opposite of what Biden wanted. It’s not their territory that’s being lost and they generally think Ukrainians are soy liberals who deserve to lose.

      Liberals keep trying to turn this into a contest between Americans and Russians, but it is clearly not

      The American Natives and African future slaves would have been far better off if they had.

      Neither of them have the resources to continue the fight. This was always on America’s dime, because national security had been outsourced to private American businesses

        I guess. Yeah. That’s why Trunp can call the shots. Which he appears to be doing. The EU is in a world of hurt given that Trump fluffs Putin.

    European intervention is looking like the only option now. because America is a captured state. there are only bad options now. and Europe is more than a year behind reality,

    they sat on their hands hoping Kamala would win, and that they’d be allowed to continue offshoring their own defense matters to America, she didnt

    so they sat on their hands hoping Trump wouldn’t be who everyone thought he would be, He was exactly what everyone thought he’d be.

    so they sat on their hands hoping he would change with time. He didn’t, he accelerated his agenda and threw kerosone on the world by Parroting Putin, advocating Bibi, and Bombing Iran.

    So they sat on their hands hoping he’d have a change of heart. And he rolled out the red carpet for the most honored guest, VVP.

    Trump is an Ally of the Russian Mafia, Article 5 is already useless in terms of America, America wont go to war with Russia even if a KAB landed in Berlin tonight. Europe ought to consider their choices ahead.

    Option 1 > Stop Bleating at America, Stop insisting that America Negotiate on Ukraines behalf in a specific way, and show some fucking teeth, and prepare for war.

    Option 2 > Keep bleating at America, and accept Russia controls your politics now, and probably watch as your alliance disintegrates in 3 years when a military conflict breaks out in Latvia and no one wants to go to war with Russia.

    Trump is an imbecile. His grave is going to be a gender neutral bathroom for the rest of human history.

    If it works that way, when will Trump start giving out states to the highest bidder?

    What the hell do you expect when two criminals meet. Fuck Vlad and and his orange sock puppet. The EU and Ukraine already know they will have to contain the Russians without the MAGAt fuckers.

      I like how you call him a sock puppet. It’s a perfect analogy since his other use is to be Putin’s cum sock.

    who the fuck does he think he is to “negotiate” ceding someone else’s territory? (I’m not expecting any answers, the oompa loompa simply defies all logic)

      something something, Alpha country, Beta country, Having cards, not having cards.

      In all seriousness. these are people who have been parroting the same Kremlin lies that were confidentley asserting that Ukraine was already defeated like 1 month in and that everything after that was just prolonged suffering. These people are either Cowards, or Complicit. or both.

    He who drinks with the enemy while his ally bleeds is no hero but a fool. You grant him honor while he seeks to burn your and your ally’s home. No word of peace holds meaning while his sword is still raised against those who stand with you.

    Install troops in Ukraine and show Putin already god damn it. That makes putin mad? Good that will make EU more unified. And its not like putin is gonna drop nuclear bombs cause thats suicide :) So bring him to his knees.
