President Donald Trump posts a brief outline of a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin to his Truth Social Account.
President Trump: “I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects. We both reflected on the Great History of our Nations, and the fact that we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering, that Russia lost tens of millions of people, and we, likewise, lost so many!
We each talked about the strengths of our respective Nations, and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together. But first, as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the War with Russia/Ukraine. President Putin even used my very strong Campaign motto of, “COMMON SENSE.” We both believe very strongly in it. We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other’s Nations.”
“We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now. I have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Ambassador and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, to lead the negotiations which, I feel strongly, will be successful.
Millions of people have died in a War that would not have happened if I were President, but it did happen, so it must end. No more lives should be lost! I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call, and for the release, yesterday, of Marc Fogel, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House. I believe this effort will lead to a successful conclusion, hopefully soon!” (Source)
Easy deal, Russia leave all Ukrainian territory = end of war.
I believe Trump and Putin can work things out.
The DS knows it, too. That is why they fabricated “Russian Collusion.”
This sentence provides the entire dynamic of what's coming. The US and Russia will hammer something out and Zelensky (or whoever is the legit leader of Ukraine) will be brought in after the deal is done to sign the papers.
That's appropriate since this has been a NATO-Russia confrontation all along, with Ukraine simply the globalists' weapon-of-choice for fomenting revolution in Russia.
Most rational people, including Pete Hegseth and Victor Davis Hanson, believe that's not going to happen.
RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA!!! PUTIN’S PUPPET. REEEEEEE
Democrat liberal prog marxists think you have to bully and intimidate your rivals. (though they love Putin for his ruthlessness and wish they had that power.) Trump has had to deal with slime balls his whole working life in real estate. Mafia dons, corrupt politicians, corrupt union bosses, and slimy employees ripping him off. He knows how to deal with these people. You don’t run around yelling and screaming about how terrible they are. You befriend them and manipulate their egos to get what you want. I think he wrote a book about it... Who else could have gone to North Korean territory? To democrats, everyone is the scary Corn Pop hiding behind the gymnasium after school.
So, Trump is colluding with Russia/Putin again.
Is ending the war in Ukraine through negotiations the same as collusion? Democrats will find a way to define it as collusion. Four years of hell for Trump coming up. Who am I kidding; the democrat’s hellish fight against Trump has been ongoing for 10 years now, and won’t ever stop, even after he’s dead and buried.
Two options for Russia: Leave Ukraine totally and we guarantee their neutrality for 50 years. Stay in Ukraine and we guarantee their NATO membership in 6 months. Now decide.
Putin is a dictator who isn’t going to come to any deal that doesn’t enable him to save face.
Was Vindman listening in on this one?
LOL. Where did this come from?
Both Trump and Hegseth have said NO NATO for Ukraine. Try again.
I think we both know that’s not going to happen. Russia is unlikely to give up territory. Doubtful Trump will even ask.
Most likely They will get a cease fire and Russia keeps the territory they currently hold, a demilitarized zone will be established and the Ukraine never gets nukes or NATO membership but falls under the protection of Europe and possibly the US.
Ukraine belongs to Mother Russia.
The Ukrainians say otherwise, and despite everyone here who thinks that terms will be dictated to them, the Ukrainians get a vote.
A breakthrough that might lead to the end of the Ukraine-Russia war?
🔴The Russian news agency Tass reports that President Putin spoke with President Trump.
The two arranged to meet.
Putin invited Trump to visit Moscow.
🔴Trump and Zelenskyy are speaking on the phone right now.
11:29 AM
And it doesn't matter what you think their history or ethnicity mean.
Russia has as much right to Ukraine as England has to the US.
Empires get eaten up by their minorities, the same will happen with Russia.
God has blessed the American and Russian peoples.
This is the most important thing to happen in the world since the fall of the Soviet Union.
“Easy deal, Russia leave all Ukrainian territory = end of war.”
Ukraine will be forced to leave the new Russian Oblasts and no NATO troops or weapons will enter that country.
That’s the only deal on the table.
