And an OLD dude, to boot!

A day after the White House floated the shocking idea of U.S. 'ownership' of Ukrainian nuclear plants, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday said he could not legally negotiate transfer of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
The plant, which came under fire after Russia's invasion and raised fears of a nuclear disaster, is currently occupied by Russian troops. Now offline, it is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
Trump said the U.S. could own it, in the latest statement seeking to shake up negotiations meant to bring an end to the three-year war. The topic came up in Trump's phone call Wednesday with Zelensky.
'President Trump also discussed Ukraine's electrical supply and nuclear power plants. He said that the United States could be very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise,' according to a statement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.
'American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure,' it said.
The potential energy cooperation came up amid a stalled minerals deal that Trump says will provide security for Ukraine and allow it to reimburse the U.S. for billions spent arming and aiding the country.
'We will not discuss it. We have 15 nuclear power units in operation today. This all belongs to our state,' Zelensky told a news conference in Oslo, where he held talks with Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store.
He said the nuclear plants legally belonged to the Ukrainian people but that Kyiv was open to US investment once Ukraine got back control of the Zaporizhzhia plant, seized by Russian troops at the start of the war.

We don't need him or Ukraine.
And not another dime.
Z is running out of options. It won’t be long, now...
It is past time for Zelinsky to be removed from the situation.
Mist people who make war cannot make peace.
Get Z out.
What you said... the grift is up... and the grifters are looking for a patsy... him being a gay porn star, comedian and penis piano player... makes it so much the easier...the funny thing is watching Macron, married to that dude who has been raping him since he was 15... think the people who did this to him are going to cover for him... now that most random people that I meet are most agreeable to the fact that Michelle Obama has a dick. (and if that isn’t even funnier, if Big Mike would have gotten rid of the junk, he could have been President. But they killed the chef and made a deal, and Big Mike looking sad in Italy... demurred). Wouldn’t it be great if we had a media working for us...
Oh good grief.
Go to sleep.
Not to worry. He’ll change his mind in few hours. Then he’ll change it again few hours after that. Then, a few hours later...
>>>>Z is running out of options. It won’t be long, now...<<<<
Does he have any bargaining chips left?
And an OLD dude, to boot!
If we get out, I’m not sure he does; and Trump wants peace.
I have always felt bad for both populations, and despised both leaders equally.
But the killing and dying has to stop.
Z doesn’t seem to care about what he’s putting his people through. He’s got the short end of the stick, and sometimes one just has to accept that.
Yep...
Euros can’t let trump win this.
They have gotten to z - z has dissed Trump again with that
drone attack yesterday.
Yep...
I think he's down to cow chips.
Your dreams aren’t nightmares when you go to sleep seeking the truth...
>>>>Euros can’t let trump win this.<<<<
How many times have we bailed out Europe? Let them handle it.
Just dump that little smuff. There’s nothing value added with this relationship.
I cannot tell a lie... the only question is... can you handle the truth?
WHY is the USA still dealing with Zelensky and Ukraine????
Let the EU handle it.
I can’t imagine what Trump hopes to gain from trying to clean-up Biden’s mess.
>>>>I can’t imagine what Trump hopes to gain from trying to clean-up Biden’s mess.<<<<
I think President Trump’s trying his best to fulfill his campaign promise to some extent.
I don’t think he knew Zelensky’s a nutcase.
Zelensky is a snake.
He’s in cahoots with the demoncrats.
Cut him off.
He’s a manipulative, egocentric little bastard.
