Russia says this deal is news to them, they were not consulted, and have made no new positions or agreements since the meeting with trump in Alaska. Ukraine said no already
Zelensky Will reject
Unless the growing corruption scandal is a factor
The idiots in DC think everything is a real estate deal.
Creative!
Why should Russia lease something they can own?
I call fake news.
Assuming this has and relation to reality, it’s basically Munich II and will produce the same results.
Trump proposed a real estate “lease” deal long long ago…a million lives ago. To resolve the social and ethnic partition of Eastern Ukraine from Kiev
Remember the Russians were long term “ leasing” Sevastopol from Ukraine…its Black Sea base which has been Russian for hundreds of years and was never Ukrainian) when the Ukes started playing footsie with NATO wanting to build a base there…triggering among other things, the Russian seizure of Crimea
No sources for the story.
It’s up to Ukraine to make a deal. It’s their country.
Our diplomats can suggest in private.
Ukraine seems to be able to hold for an indefinite time its remaining part of Donbas except for the small city it is likely to lose.
Russia is gaining territory at a greater, but still small rate.
The lease idea is clever, but it should not have been officially offered up by the US government.
“...officials familiar with the deal told The Telegraph.”
Make sure you freeze the rent!
Ruzzia will never pay reparations to YouCraynee.
And that is what this Trump plan is.
A form of Reparations.
the neoCON cheerleaders of death aka fagboy zelensky nuthuggers will be sorely disappointed at the prospect of peace.
As if Russia would ever pay a dime. Anyone who thinks this would ever happen should see the man over there about a bridge for sale.
It insults the intelligence of anyone who has ever studied Russian behavior. They are about one degree above the Arabs when it comes to making deals they never intend to abide by.
