President Donald Trump revealed on Friday that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about ending the war in Ukraine.
“All those dead people. Young, young beautiful people. They’re like your kids, two million of them – and for no reason,” Trump stated, continuing on to state that both sides “want to meet. Everyday people are dying. Young handsome soldiers are being killed. Young men, like my sons. On both sides. All over the battlefield.”
Trump previously estimated last month that around 1 million Russian soldiers have died in the battle, along with 700,000 Ukrainian troops, a figure far larger than Ukrainian officials have reported.
During an interview on Air Force One, Trump stated that he believes Putin “does care” about the carnage of the war, stating that “he wants to see people stop dying.”
“I always had a good relationship with Putin,” Trump continued, adding that he “better not say” how many times that two leaders have spoken.
Trump also revealed that he has a proposal to end the war in Ukraine, although he declined to delve into the specifics, instead stating that he hopes the war ends “fast.”
“Everyday people are dying. This war is so bad in Ukraine. I want to end this damn thing.”
President Trump also took shots at former President Joe Biden, calling him an “embarrassment to our nation. A complete embarrassment,” for perpetuating the carnage in Ukraine.

I hope Trump successfully threatens Putin into retreating from all Ukrainian territory and ending this senseless war started by Putin to try to reassemble the old soviet union.
Too many innocent Ukrainians have died needlessly and the homes destroyed of all those Russia supposedly came to help.
All because Putin couldn’t stay within his own borders, but had to illegally invade a sovereign country.
History will not judge Putin kindly.

See how that works out for ya.
The horrible slaughter of Ukrainians and Russians was enabled by the efforts of Noodlehead (Victoria Nuland), obama, and biden, as well as the Congress-members of both parties who kept sending money to Zelenskyy and his murderous crew!
They even set up a fake “Ukrainian Orthodox Church”, led by defrocked laymen, to replace the true Ukrainian Orthodox Church under Metropolitan Onuphry!
Any peace settlement must include the restoration of the true Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and the exile of Zelenskyy!
not necessary, Zelensky will simply give Trump rare earth mineral rights for his continued support to drive the Russian invaders out.
I wonder why?
I think Trump is trying to convince the Saudis to sell more oil so that'll help to depress the oil price per barrel then Putin will have less money to fund his army in Ukraine. At this point, he'll be ready to talk.

Putin's not trying to reassemble the old Soviet Union. He's fighting off NATO's attempt at Russian regime change. NATO wants to rule the world and Russia's sovereignty is in the way. NATO already overthrew the Ukraine and has installed their series of puppets. NATO now wants to install their puppet in Russia, and take control of Russia's nuclear arsenal.

Zelensky made a decree in 2022 prohibiting negotiations even though the Ukraine was no match for RUssia militarily. NATO has been running the Ukraine war, expending Ukrainians lives like bullets. The Ukraine (Zelensky) is willing to be used by NATO as their proxy, and that has cost so many lives on both sides.
You are delusional if you believe that is possible.
Every inch of annexed territory will remain with the Russian Federation with approval of the people that live there.
You don't seem to grasp that the annexed territory was comprised ethnic and cultural Russians that wanted no part of a Ukrainian nationalist/neo-Nazi government that came to power illegally through USAID money.
Tsar wannabee Putin is in a post-war pout. Thus, Dirty Sergy Lavrov will be doing the negotiating. Sorry but (looks like a) nasty beast Sergey has been at it for 21 years, is a stronger street fighter than Donald Trump. We shall see. Old warhorse Dirty Sergy has been skimming for ages and is worth a few tens of millions. Says internet.
“Sergey Lavrov has been serving as the Foreign Minister of Russia for nearly 21 years”
Yes. That. 👆
The rare earth minerals are in exchange for paying us back for what we've already blown on Ukraine for assistance to rebuild what's left of it.
Are you suggesting Americans die trying to take back the territory Ukraine lost? That would be a worse bloodbath than Vietnam.
There is no chance Trump destroys his Presidency doubling down on Biden's failed policies or sending troops to Ukraine to die.
His objective is the END the war and that is only possible if Ukraine concedes ALL territory Russia controls of what used to be Ukraine.
all those ethnic and cultural Russians have now either been killed and their houses and businesses destroyed or both. I am sure they are very happy for Russia’s “help”
Why Saudis agree to that. The Saudis aren't going to sacrifice their own oil revenue for Ukraine.
We're going to drill, baby, drill and that will require the Saudis to decrease oil production to keep the price of oil at a certain level.
The Zelensky will have no say in anything, The Zelensky will just be Deleted, and none of the Oligarchs that engineered the planned theft of all natural resources from the area will all be Deleted as well.
Zeepers will be soooo sad.
Nothing will happen until Gabbard is in place and has fired a bunch of people. Trump can’t do anything until he has accurate information.
Zelensky will give Trump all the rare earths in the areas currently controlled by Russia.
So we cant take the minerals, unless we support Ukraine in their effort to kick Russia out.
Trump will threaten Russia, and Russia will cave and leave. US will get rights to the rare earth minerals in the occupied lands. No US troops will be involved. That is how this ends.
Almost everyone in the annexed territory wants to part of the Russian Federation and doesn't want to go back to being part of Ukraine.
The minority that was pro-Ukraine left the areas more than two years ago.
You're totally clueless about the region.
