US President Donald Trump on Thursday said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the main obstacle to reaching a deal with Russia, describing President Vladimir Putin as cooperative. Trump said Zelensky “has to get on the ball” and make compromises to secure an agreement.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday described Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky as the obstacle to a deal with Russia, whose leader Vladimir Putin he insisted was cooperative.
Zelensky, he has to get on the ball, and he has to get a deal done,” Trump said in an interview with Politico.
Trump, returning to language he used during a tense White House meeting a year ago where he and Vice President JD Vance publicly berated Zelensky, suggested that the Ukrainian leader was in a weak position and needed to make compromises.
“It’s unthinkable that he’s the obstacle,” Trump was quoted as saying. “You don’t have the cards. Now he’s got even less cards.”
I think Putin is ready to make a deal,” Trump said.
Trump has long said that US support for Ukraine is wasteful to the United States and has spoken admirably in the past about Putin, whom he invited to Alaska in August.
Trump’s latest comments on Ukraine came after he launched a war with Israel against Iran on Saturday, which is estimated to have cost the United States billions of dollars already.
Trump vowed to end the Ukraine war on his first day in office in January 2025 but has acknowledged that he has found the goal difficult, with Russia keeping up attacks on Ukraine.
Trump has balked at taking more aggressive action against Putin, arguing that he is the only leader who can negotiate with both sides.

It is not up to Zelensky to get on the ball but Putin, Putin is the one that said no to 6 different peace deal.

I was hoping that king Donald the I would at least get distracted on Iran and drop this old and tired spiel. But alas.

US shouldn’t even sniff the Ukrainian drone tech till Trump change his policy towards russia.

Do not listen to Trump. Just a solid tip. Dude is the opposite of how to be.

Your daily reminder that under Trump, the US has stopped all financial aid and military aid to Ukraine.
So, why the fuck should Ukraine care what he says?

And I believe this war with Iran has now lasted long enough and the U.S. should cede territory to Iran so we can have peace. Let’s start with Florida, the U.S. don’t need to be there for the negotiations anyway.

Trump: hand over your country to Russia
Zelensky: No
Trump: Zelensky doesn’t want peace

So America is simultaneously begging for Ukrainian help to stop Russian drones hitting their radars, and trying to force Ukraine to surrender?
I hope Zelensky tells Trump to swivel. He is never going to be on Zelensky’s side because Trump and Vance hate him and Ukraine.
Ukraine could send troops to fight for America in Iran and Trump would just keep insulting him and mocking Ukraine.

And Trump now needs Ukrainian weapons to bring down Shaheds for the Saudis.

The dude who needs Ukraine help to take down drones in war which he started without reason has audacity to say that shit.
But If you think him as Russian asset it all makes sense.

As if Zelenskyy is the guy who doesn’t know… the donald is the problem and Zelenskyy has been babysitting him for over a year.
Europe, don’t fight Trump’s war in the middle east, finish Putin’s in Ukraine!!

What Trump says is less and less rooted in reality.

If I were Zelensky I’d withhold any aod with Shahed until that fuck changes his course – and also says thank you.

And Trump has to get off Putin’s dick. See how easy it would be if Trump wasn’t Putin’s lap dong and Russia fucked off back to their cesspool?

Imagine if trump made a deal with ukraine and the eu instead of russia! This is why a devided europe will never survive. Too small and divided to have the balls to gather the same compromising materials russians have on the us admin.

Why can’t the us just make peace with iran by giving up some of their most valuable bases? Isn’t that the same thing, on a theoretical level?

Who listens to him and his uninformed comments?

Trump also said he would end the war by calling Pootin – so why doesn’t he do it?

Say this as many times as is needed: Zelenskyy is at the table and constantly talking about negotiations. Putin has never come to the table.

Oh is that war still on. Man these are crazy times when an actual European hot war can just slip your attention.
Even Zelensky is feeling light these days and actually promising aid to US. Wonder if US SAID THANK YOU?
Also poor Kim, nobody wants to play with his toys. /s

How can he say that with Putin’s balls in his mouth.

Trump has his own “special military operation” going on. Probably got a green light from his master Putin back in Alaska for attacking Iran in exchange for support in Ukraine.
BobbleheadJ on
Who cares what Trump has to say about anything any more? We just need to get on and remove him from power, then deal with him and his cronies criminally, so the world can get back to struggling along without this disgrace making it all about him.

On the day Ukraine offered help defeating Iran’s shahed drones.
