Ramstein Air Base, Germany — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday said Donald Trump's return to the White House would open "a new chapter" and reiterated a call for Western allies to send troops to help "force Russia to peace." He made the plea as the Biden administration announced what will likely be its last major military aid package for Ukraine — a promise of weapons and other support worth $500 million.
Zelenskyy spoke at a meeting of about 50 allies at the American military's Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the last such gathering before Trump takes office on January 20. His imminent return to the White House has cast doubt on future American support for Ukraine's war effort, given previous favorable remarks about Russia's authoritarian President Vladimir Putin and Trump's vow to quickly end the war nearly three years after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion.
While he's offered no clear indication as to how he intends to achieve that, many in Ukraine and across Europe are concerned Trump could make good on the promise by withholding aid to Ukraine and pushing Zelenskyy to negotiate a truce that lets Russia maintain control over some of the vast territory is has occupied in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region.

Of course, US Troops on the ground backed by US air power has been the goal all along.
Too bad.
I can answer that in one word: HellNo!
Drafting Americans to fight in the Ukraine War will lead to massive civil unrest and possibly a revolution. They’re talking about drafting women for the nonsense for God’s sake. I have three girls and I will not let one of them be touched by the neocons. I will resist to the death.
Zelensky and his cohorts sure like sending white Christian men to their deaths.
It would be a cold day in hell before I would go fight the Russians in the Ukraine while my own country was being overrun by scum from every Marxist crap hole on the planet.
U.S. vets.......meh!
It makes me angrier with each passing day, that this POS and his handlers in the Deep State are determined to do as much damage to this country as they can on their way out the door.
Hoping to see what FR’s resident Ukrainian partisans think...
I personally know of a handful of Zeepers who might sack up and join the fight. I’ll ask them.
This should be an interesting thread, going forward.
There has been rancor aplenty on Ukraine-related threads, but now comes the time for all, on any side of the issue.
Who, as a part of Free Republic, argues for sending troops -- boots on the ground in a Eurasian ground war -- into Ukraine.
A show of unambiguous hands would be informative.
My vote? No and very, very much no.
Which Freeper will venture their vote to send US troops to fight in Ukraine?
Looking forward to clarity from any who wish to comment.
There won't be another military draft in the U.S. in any of our lifetimes.
No way in Hades a draft will be resumed anytime soon. Don’t give in to the fear mongers.
On to the next grift.
Hell no!
let’s see:
people freezing in snow of WNC
people getting whole towns burnt down in cali...
and brandon is laundering more money through the UKEs with 11 days to go
I'd help them pack wishing for a one way ticket.
Send troops.
Invade Russia.
Mutual nuclear exchange.
Total nuclear war.
End of the world.
Why not, might as well.
God save us from ourselves!
The only people ever wanting a draft are the DemCommies
