Putin to Trump: Russia won't abandon its goals in Ukraine
Baha Breaking News ^ | 7/3/2025 | Christian Baha

Posted on 07/03/2025 9:55:14 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his United States counterpart Donald Trump held a phone call lasting over an hour on Thursday, during which the two leaders addressed the ongoing war in Ukraine as well as the situation in the Middle East.

According to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, Putin reaffirmed Russia's stance, insisting Moscow would not abandon its aims of addressing what he called the "root causes" of the conflict. Trump, for his part, again emphasized the need for a rapid cessation of hostilities.

Despite speculations, Ushakov said the issue of halting US arms supplies to Ukraine was not brought up. He also noted that while a potential in-person summit was not discussed, "the idea is hanging in the air" and could be formalized if needed.

Nice not knowing you Vlad... I’m sure your replacement will be more accommodating.

Why does Putin always hide behind the euphemism “root causes”? Why does he not say plainly what those root causes are? I think that we all know why. For Putin the root causes is the independence of Ukraine.

I doubt that will be his replacement... Western intelligence spies are fully entrenched within the Russian hierarchy at the highest levels.

If Vlad drops a turd... America knows the date, time and place where he did it. They could eliminate him anytime they want, and also eliminate any successors who don’t like.

Where will Zelensky get asylum when he’s booted from power?

NATO-CONS are just now realizing that Trump agrees NATO is both at fault and went too far, and that Ukraine is a sphere of legimate Russian interest.

Those who armed Ukraine prosecuted Trump and have been aligned against him since the Russian Hoax.

Putin defeating and reincorporating much of Ukraine is the historically correct end to western aggression against Russia.

Donbas voted to leave Uk and join Russia. Years ago. That is primary goal, not some list floated by MSM and those wanting to continue to profit from Uk’s primary industries; money laundering and sex trafficking — the Biden family business.

You can find this in plenty of sources showing Putin’s speeches and interviews.
He’s quite a historian.

If neither side is willing to accept territory concessions to Russia, they’ll have to keep fighting and killing each other. Until one side runs out of soldiers.

Epstein's Island.

Which would cause Russia to launch and nuclear attack on the US and end the world as we know it.

Strange how the world and Trump know the root causes. Vlad WILL keep his Russian Provinces…..and your St Z may possibly loss Odessa if he keeps playing games.

In any case, Ukraine has flat lined in every sector, I suspect they will soon cease to exist as a nation.

Donbas voted to leave Uk and join Russia.

If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. Those so-called referenda were conducted under military occupation by the occupying forces. No authority in the world accepts them. Furthermore, recent independent polls in 2020 and 2022 show that the residents of Donbas prefer union with Ukraine over one with Russia 2:1.

You are ignoring the other demands of Putin. They would entail the end of Ukraine as a nation. Putin has repeatedly said that he will not accept a freeze in the current status. He wants more. He wants to bring Ukraine back under Moscow’s control. You can also find plenty of sources showing this.

Again, the only ethnic Russian majority oblast is Crimea. Why do you keep insisting that the others are? As for Russia taking Odessa, they were already pushed back over the Dnipro. They are stalled in their summer offensive in the east. There is no chance that they will cross the Dnipro again. And if you think that Russia is not facing serious economic problems, you are whistling past the graveyard.

“In any case, Ukraine has flat lined in every sector, I suspect they will soon cease to exist as a nation.”

Your predictions are worthless.

For example, you predicted that the U.S. would have a civil war starting January 2025 in response to Trump’s election.

We are still waiting to see if the U.S. breaks up into four new countries next year.

LOL! Looks like a repost from 2022!
