Mike Waltz added that productive negotiations and a minerals deal would have been a "positive moment for Ukraine
NEW YORK, March 1. /TASS/. The entire team of US President Donald Trump has unanimously advised him to stop any negotiations with Vladimir Zelensky after the heated exchange in the White House on Friday, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said.
“We had a meeting after that exchange, after the press was asked to leave, and we advised the president pretty much unanimously that after that insult in the Oval Office we just do not see how that could move forward, that any further engagement would only go backwards from this moment on,” he told Fox News.
Waltz added that productive negotiations and a minerals deal would have been a “positive moment for Ukraine.” “Instead, what became clear and, I think, what has the president so frustrated and, frankly, angry, is that it’s not clear that Zelensky truly wants to stop the fighting,” he noted.
The US national security advisor also noted that, following the argument, the Ukrainian envoy to Washington and Zelensky’s aides “practically in tears” begged to continue with the talks but Zelensky continued to argue because he got used to Washington’s unconditional support. “That’s what he heard for years from Biden,” Waltz noted. “He has not gotten the memo that this is a new sheriff in town, this is a new president, and we are determined to take a new approach towards peace,” the US official concluded.

He absolutely does not want to stop. He wants to continue the war indefinitely. Objective: the removal of Putin when Russia tires of the killing and says "enough". This has been the NWO objective all along.
Zelensky has to go. He is not working for the best outcome for Ukraine.
Zelensky just fund out what a dead end street looks like.
Zelensky continued to argue because he got used to Washington’s unconditional support. “That’s what he heard for years from Biden,” Waltz noted. “He has not gotten the memo that this is a new sheriff in town, this is a new president, and we are determined to take a new approach towards peace,” the US official concluded.
Zelensky himself was frustrated and angry. He doesn’t see himself as a leader asking for help defending his country but rather a partner in crime with US politicians to con American taxpayers out of billions of dollars. In Z’s mind he has done his part and sacrificed tens of thousands of his countrymen so who is Trump to change the rules on him. I don’t think he had a clear understanding of how much different Trump is to Democrats and GOPers.
Z: “I thot you zed he vas zenile!”
Aide: “No, that was the LAST President”
One stupid little bastard.
After a couple days to cool off and if he persists, which he will
Then issue this statement.
Concerning Ukraine..
“The United States will no longer negotiate with an illegitimate leader.”
Thats it. Nothing more.
A reminder. There was no money for Ukraine in the House bill. And my understanding is the Senate cannot amend it within the rules of Reconciliation.
That would be no big numbers are going to happen.
But there is some sort of Presidential Discretionary fund, the precise label of which I have forgotten. A billion here or there can be sent by Trump. It’s almost like a slush fund, though hmmm I should look this up. Maybe it died with Biden’s term.
Anyway, there is no Must Pass legislation to attach money to. And Graham won’t sign onto it now.
Zelensky’s team HAS to have been briefed on this process. This is what makes it all that much more bizarre. He has to have known all this, but he trusted the Dems who told him how to make it happen.
It’s good to see Republicans in alliance. That little money launderer can go ask the EU for more.
Trump said he could come back anytime.
Trump is not an idiot.
You can’t negotiate with a liar. That’s why he should never be considered again.
Z, the demonrats AND the Euroweenies ALL want to keep the war machine going.
That’s from TASS, the Russian News Agency?
Then, just like my favorite US media (MSNBC & CNN) it’s no doubt 1000% TOTALLY TRUE!!
I can relax now.
Zelensky is the like the teenager going to daddy cause he can’t afford his car payment.
The EU, 99% of media, all of the rats are telling he is a hero for standing up to Trump and Vance and he believes it. He is not going to even meet Trump half way with that going on. They got what they wanted for now the deal is dead and the war will go on.
Zelensky doesn’t want to lose, and that’s not an unreasonable point of view. Of course, no leaders ever want to lose a war, but many of them will understand when they are losing and don’t have a pathway to victory. To continue this war, without a chance of winning just hurts his country even more. For some people, living in denial can be fatal. For leaders of a war torn country, denial can be fatal for thousands of people.
So sad, ...
Trump makes the call - we want him to know we support him in whatever that call is... Even if we’re stuck saving billions of taxpayer dollars by NOT helping Ukraine. Or if Trump wants to deal for rare earth repayment... we’re here for President Trump.
There’s going to be a deal for minerals which will help Ukraine and the US and allow Ukraine to pay back the US. War will not continue. Borders will be determined, Russia and Ukraine retain sovereignty. Ukraine will have their delayed election. Russia reparations to the US will be determined over time, US will receive much of the far eastern regions of Russia (West Alaska).
Probably but all that has been delayed by the wicked people whispering into Zeke’s ear.
