From the article: U.S. President Donald Trump told European leaders this week that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not ready for peace in Ukraine because he believes he is winning the war, the Wall Street Journal reported on May 22, citing three undisclosed sources.
Trump’s reported statement marked the first time he acknowledged to European leaders what they and Kyiv have long maintained — the Kremlin has no intention of ending its full-scale war against Ukraine.
The conversation on May 19 reportedly included President Volodymyr Zelensky, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and European Council President Antonio Costa.
Earlier the same day, Trump held a phone call with Putin, days after largely inconclusive negotiations in Istanbul, where Russia sent a delegation of low-level officials.

Well no shit. He started the war because he thought he could win, he’s not going to stop unless he loses and the cost becomes too high.
And if he wins this one, he’s not going to stop either. He’s going to look for more territory he can take.

Why is “DJ Dumb” the name of DJ Dumb? Yep…because he is dumb. He now tells the European leaders things they knew since 2022. It´s like **DJ Dumb says: “I can tell you…that I have now found out who shit in my pants…because I am so smart”** Aha, interesting. What a surprise. DJ Dumb is so stupid….omg.

No shit sherlock. European leaders already knew this, that is why they want to put further pressure on Russia.

russia is not winning the war — both putin and trump know that. russia cannot stop fighting, because it has only two options: fight or lose. And we all know how it will end — it will keep fighting and it will lose. It’s only a matter of time. Not even putin himself knows what to do. One day, they will run out — of soldiers, of equipment, or of money.
Ukraine cannot stop fighting either — it also has only two options: fight or win. And in the end, it will fight and it will win. It’s only a matter of time. Zelensky knows what he’s doing.
The only one prolonging this war is Putin.
Trump is just a puppet next door, and he shot himself in the foot — he has no real influence over the war anymore. For someone who calls himself such a strong man, and comes from such a powerful country… it’s a shame. And a humiliation.

Soooo help ensure he is aware he is losing the war and the war ends? Okay sounds good – more weapons to Ukraine please. How is the US government still wrapping their heads around such a basic concept

So this means the US will increase sanctions on Russia, just like Trump said, right? Right?

Ergo, the most effective way to force putin to end the war is a massive influx of military aid into ukraine such that the ukrainian forces can fully equip themselves to impose higher costs and reverse russian gains. The moment russia begins losing territory again at scale (ie not just a small corner of kursk) he will beg for peace.

Putin is delusional. Trump is a compromised idiot.

to put it bluntly. I thought that the EU should be much more involved in promoting Ukrainian interests. That means weapons and other equipment. Not just money, because they need more hardware. countries in the EU should wake up now – and not think so much about what signals they are sending to the Russians.

Putin is being boiled like a frog slowly. We all would have preferred just to smash him with a hammer in the first 3 years. Please turn up the heat.
