US President Donald Trump has informed European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is still demanding the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the entire territory of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in Ukraine's east.

Source: Bloomberg, citing sources

Quote: "Trump said on the call that while it’s up to Ukraine to decide on what to do with its territory, Putin’s stance hasn’t changed – he still wants Kyiv to cede control of the entire Donbas region in Ukraine’s east."

Details: Bloomberg’s sources said Russia is prepared to drop its claims to the areas of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts it does not currently control, effectively freezing the front line.

Yeah, asshole. That's why everyone called you a fucking dipshit when you said the war would be over in 24 hours .

It would have been if Zelenskyy had surrendered.

Remember that Trump is a demented, dimwitted weakling who parrots whatever Putin tells him.

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.
