“The Russian demand that Ukraine give up parts of the Donbas would be, just to illustrate the scale, comparable to asking the United States to give up Florida,” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told reporters after the White House meeting.
During the closed-door meeting, Finnish President Alexander Stubb called the eastern Ukrainian cities of Kramatorsk and Slovyansk “a bastion against the Huns,” a description that appeared to impress Trump, according to the officials.
Zelensky didn’t reject land swaps out of hand during the discussions with Trump, but he said it would be difficult to move populations and override Ukraine’s constitutional prohibitions against surrendering territory, the officials said. But Zelensky said he might consider “proportional swaps.” Zelensky’s spokesman didn’t respond to a request for comment.

You can tell these dumbass zeepers that you think both Putin and Zelensky are corrupt scumbags until you’re blue in the face and they’ll still parrot their stupid assertions that you’re “Russian” or “pro-Putin” or other BS along those lines just because you don’t trust (and worship) Zelensky.
They’re like mind-numbed zombies all typing the same tired little crap out of the same handbook.
Tell them to prove it and go find posts of yours where you’re supporting Russia or Putin and they fly off the handle and have quite the flamboyant little meltdowns, screeching a volley of insults that would make Jasmouth Crockett envious.
Zeepers can be hilarious, really.
Gator hijacks another thread. It’s where she has her most fun.
Some are paid to propagandize—and others are no doubt just mindless victims of the propagadizing.
Let the locals divvy up the territory.
Putin wants a landlink to Crimea, Zelinskyy knows he's lost and wants to keep as much of captured territory of Ukraine as possible but still end the war. He's got lots of cash outside Ukraine waiting for him, I suspect.IMHO.
Sean told him that Ukraine was running out of people and was drafting 60-year-olds and that continuing this was indefinitely could cause it to expand to other countries.
The idiot caller acted like he didn’t hear any of that and just went on, mindlessly intoning his talking points about how the war needs to keep going. He went on and on saying little else but that. He sounded kind of dweeby as is to be expected.
I was laughing and saying “It’s a zeeper!” Seriously, I wonder what his zeeper handle is here? I didn’t catch the beginning to hear where he was calling from.
Lots of paid shills. The Weenies are big on psyops.
Putin will never meet with Zelensky as he is viewed as an Illegitimate President, Russia will only meet with Ukraine leaders when free elections are held again.
There have been no elections for over 2 years. Zelensky’s term has been over for some time.
Lots of paid shills. The Russians are big on psyops.
So clever, Gator! Would you like an armadillo as a treat?
I just saw a good headline: “The Europeans are spending $100B they don’t have to buy weapons the US doesn’t have to arm soldiers Ukraine doesn’t have.”
Zeeps love to play “I know you are, but what am I?” They think it covers for their woeful lack of creativity or sense of humor.
Posted to you: “Then, acknowledge that Putin is an evil, corrupt dictator!”
No replies. I knew you couldn’t!
Perfect! 😁
No intelligent, free-thinking person here is going to take orders from some emotional, screeching zeeper. Especially one who uses excessive exclamation points.

ROTFLMAO. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and doesn’t deny being a duck then it is a Putin shill.
