This feels dirty and wrong...this is how the Mafia acts

BREAKING: Ukraine and the United States have agreed to terms on a deal relating to critical minerals and other resources, according to a senior Ukrainian official.

This comes after the Trump administration had demanded Ukrainian Pres. Zelenskyy sign a deal that would have Ukraine pay the U.S. $500 billion through a fund, which Zelenskyy had declined. https://abcnews.go.com/US/us-ukraine-agree-terms-mineral-deal/story?id=119183506

So does that mean we will continue to provide financial and material support?

BREAKING: Trump just lost, caved in, and dropped ALL his previous demands from the “mineral deal” with Ukraine. According to Ukrainian officials, on Friday, Zelensky is expected in Washington to sign a completely revised, much more favorable for Ukraine “mineral deal,” which will only include the payments 1:1 for future U.S. military aid payments only, using the funds Ukraine would contribute from future mineral sales. The NATO and security guarantees will be discussed in separate proposals.

That's awesome. That's something he's done that I can support. I don't think we need to have a 1:1 repay, but appreciate the continued support

Russia Demands Ukraine Cities It Doesn't Control as Part of Trump Deal:​

Russia is demanding control of cities in Ukraine that its forces don't currently occupy as part of a deal with resident Donald Trump to potentially bring an end to the war, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has said.

Newsweek has contacted the Russian Foreign Ministry for comment by email.

Why It Matters​

Washington and Moscow are holding talks to potentially bring an end to the three-year-old war—talks from which Kyiv has been excluded.

Observers of the conflict have raised concerns that Trump—who has pledged to bring an end to the conflict—may strike a deal with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that pressures Ukraine to abandon its aspirations to join NATO and cede its currently occupied territories, effectively capitulating to Moscow's demands.

According to the ISW, Moscow is demanding control of cities within these territories it has no prospect of seizing, raising concerns about a settlement that could further undermine Ukraine's sovereignty.

It is increasingly obvious that Trump was and is compromised by Russian intelligence.

 

[Bowers3]

How do you treat the president of a country that has been invaded like that while sucking the cock of the president of the invading country. That was extremely embarrassing for the United States.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington, seeking backing for Ukraine's security against any future Russian aggression. Trump is expected to designate English as the official national language in a new executive order.

How dare he continue to ask for security guarantees before signing over hundreds of billions in mineral rights to someone that has been vocally praising the invading force for months. /s

How is that disrespectful?

This is diplomacy? Absolutely disgraceful. Trump will now be labeled Putin’s Puppet Trump. All doubt should be removed now.

Yes it is. What do you expect from guys paid off by Putin. I was hopeful they'd do the right thing, but obviously this was just a way to shove it in his face that they don't care and are both POS.

I won't be surprised if leading Republicans think Trump was brilliant in dealing with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, even though it appears a peace settlement is further away now than it was yesterday.

Every day it seems like our administration does whatever they think Putin would be happy with. It's freaking embarrassing.

I understand working towards peace, but this isn't how that's done. He's just wanting Ukraine to collapse. Wonder if Putin offered him 50% of Ukraine's minerals too. The old, "if you help me take the whole thing we can split the profits."

Sadly we’ve got to endure two years of this crap before the gutless rubber stamps can be replaced. What is happening to all of us is nuts, but the change in Republicans is phenomenally unforgivable IMO
