Just to be clear: 1) Ru is unable to take the whole country. That's not a concession. That's like me saying that as a concession I'll withdraw from the Olympics; 2) Ru hasn't agreed to stop the war; where's the proof??

Good to see similar clear-eyed statements from Germany and France too, the countries whose former leaders were either taken by Pu’s similar lies in 2014-2022 during the Minsk Accords talks or simply didn’t bother to call him out.

Putin's investment envoy Dmitriev may visit Washington, Kremlin says A visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin's investment envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, to the United States for talks with members of Donald Trump's administration is possible, the Kremlin said on Wednesday, but declined to give any further details.

Putin's investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev met with U.S. officials in Washington on Wednesday. No official word on what Dmitriev discussed with the Trump admin. Sky's the limit, folks! www.reuters.com/world/europe...

The real giveaway that Trump isn't neutral but pro-russian in the Ru-Ukr war is his refusal to discuss security guarantees for Ukr. If he believes Pu wants peace he'd be confused why Pu rejects all security guarantees (why oppose if you don't plan to invade again?)...

Now this is a good, accurate headline

Russian farming bank in sanctions row quietly funded oil deals – SourceMaterial Documents reveal state agriculture lender Rosselkhozbank’s key role in exporting Russian oil, contradicting Kremlin claims

Rosselkhozbank is the RU agricultural lending bank.

This bank has been used to evade financial and oil sanctions.

When the Grain Corridor was in effect, RU wanted sanctions on Rosselkhozbank lifted.

This demand is not about grain, it’s about oil.

White House: U.S. would “help restore Russia’s access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports,”

RU ag./fertiliser exports are NOT included in the sanctions and Ru ag. products have free access to global markets.

What RU really wants is a lifting of sanctions on Rosselkhozbank.

Before the 2022 invasion, russian apologists (or useful idiots) pushed the idea that all Russia wants is a neutral Ukraine. Today, russian apologists push the idea that all Russia wants is Eastern Ukraine. Same people, different, inconsistent tall tales.

Nobody should be surprised that Russia is bombing Ukrainian civilians (this is a school!) while lying that it seeks peace, that’s their MO. But what’s shocking is that the American admin has only good things to say about Russia and Pu and peddles their disinfo nonstop.

Zelenskyy leaves White House early after furious meeting where Trump claims he ‘disrespected US’ and is not ready for peace – live Press conference between US and Ukraine leaders cancelled and no minerals deal signed after angry scenes in White House

Just horrific. Clearly DT & JD set up Zelensky.
Zelensky’s integrity is truly remarkable, and not just by contrast with the scumbags. He has truth & morality on his side.

DT & JD are such puppets, and Zelensky is not afraid to call them out: "you will feel influenced."

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia for Ukraine war The UN General Assembly passed a European-backed resolution demanding Russia’s immediate withdrawal, rejecting a US proposal that failed to name Moscow as the aggressor.

The DT-VVP bromance is official now, marking the 3rd anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. (This made me decide that I could not afford to give up on social media for the moment).
