Vice President JD Vance on Monday said Trump administration officials are already in talks to put on a settlement to the years-long war Russia launched against Ukraine, and warned that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky needs to accept Donald Trump’s terms for a mineral rights deal and enter negotiations with Moscow.
Vance’s demand that Zelensky accept the U.S.-backed mineral rights deal follows the Ukrainian leader’s ejection Friday from the White House after an Oval Office shouting match with Vance and Trump.
It also comes just hours after the Trump administration announced it was halting some defense aid to Kyiv at a crucial time in the war as Zelensky’s forces have fought to repel Russian invaders since 2022.

There will be great outcry and gnashing of teeth.
zeepers hardest hit.
And angry soiling of adult diapers...
Not hard enough, seems no amount of force can pernitrate their thoughts.

It would be fun if Trump trolled the EUnuchs by meeting with Putin at Yalta.
when was the last time marcus-minimus posted?
Good. Democrats and Macron/Starmer thought they were being clever by convincing Zyyyy to diss Trump. Epic fail. Now they all will regret it.
America and Russia can make a deal together.
They do not need Zelensky to agree to that deal.
The WEF Globalist/socialists and EU neo-marxists have their Comintern in London and Brussels
They can not accept any part of Europe outside of neo-marxist control. Same with North America
Their worst enemy is Russia, and then Trump-led United States
Trump has realized this, and is re-aligning appropriately.
President Trump should throw a party for a Russian delegation at Mar-a-lago, and broadcast it, just to piss off Zelensky.
It seems likely that because of warfare changes and tech changes and industrial development in E Europe, Ukraine may be able to sustain its defense with just Euro support. Ukraine has begun to run a very cheap war. Even HIMARS are being swapped for new gen drones.
Especially if all it needs to do us run a defensive war. There are problems with that, but they can keep it up.
That means Trump (and Putin) lose leverage. I doubt Trump wants Zelensky to effectively call his bluff.
he didn’t cancel SOME shipments.
He called for a FREEZE...even of things in transit.
Thank goodness.
Now we can get 3 billion in weapons unloaded into the US where they came from.
The most militarily significant part of Europe, Poland and - its own bloc - has already called their bluff.
And they hate Russia. This is turning into a four-way struggle.
Without any US support, Ukraine dies in 90 days or less.
If they believe they can survive without it, they’ll fight.
If they believe they can’t, they’ll capitulate and engage guerilla war...because they are dead-enders.
But the regime falls.
I encourage them to see what they can patch together before they have to submit to their humiliation.
It’s always fun to watch ‘em flop around on the floor a bit.
Does Ukraine even have rare earth minerals of any really economic quantity?
I doubt it.
Better to do a rare earth deal with the Russians who have vastly more rare earth minerals than Ukraine has.
And Putin is eager for deal.
I love newly coined words. But pernitrate is an actual word.
noun
(chemistry) A compound of nitric acid with the peroxide of a metal.
Russia is going nowhere right now and Ukraine seems to have minimized its US equipment usage. It seems to be all drones out there.
Its up to the Euros to decide how long THEY want to continue to pay the current runtime. Because the certainly could.
