It seems that Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky has decided on a path that’ll send him clashing with US President Donald J. Trump and his administration.
Besides repeatedly breaching the Trump-brokered partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, Zelensky has now made a TV statement that contains at least two very controversial points.
First, he again stated that the hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid to the Kiev regime were NOT ‘loans’, but rather, donations – despite the fact that nothing was ever registered as such.
Secondly, he alerted that Ukraine will NOT sign the reworked rare-earth/mineral exploration deal, although his aides had assured US officials that the deal was ready to be signed.
‼️ IMPORTANT: Zelensky confronts the US and says NO DEAL!
He says: – Ukraine will not acknowledge the past debt! – US can not sent any conditions on Ukraine, unless they send new aid! – Zelensky is not ready to sign the new agreement!

Zelensky also complained that the US would no longer provide free aid to Ukraine: ‘This administration will not do anything for free for us!’
Washington Post reported (via Sputnik):
“The new US [mineral rights] proposal radically changes the conditions sent by Kiev to Trump and does not provide any security guarantees.
[…] The document treats all U.S. support to Ukraine since the conflict began as a debt that must be repaid with interest on revenues earned under the agreement. It gives the U.S. ‘first come, first served’ rights to all energy and mineral investments, effectively putting the U.S. in control.
A senior Ukrainian official said the project raises serious concerns because it reclassifies previous U.S. grants as loans that must be repaid and requires Washington to take ‘50 per cent of all new and existing revenue without making any contribution of its own’.” On top of it all, Zelensky said that he reached agreements with ‘certain European countries’ for the sharing of intelligence data and to ramp up weapons manufacturing.
Zelensky says he reached agreements with certain European countries for intelligence data and weapons manufacturing!
Looks like zelensky plans to abandon the US and fully rely on Europe, since Europe gives everything for free and does not demand the money back. https://t.co/qucjcSTOia pic.twitter.com/DUPW9u5sHg

No one is surprised when Zelensky lifts his leg and pees on America... It's the nature of the beast.
President Trump, please tell this ingrate grifter to hit the road once and for all.
We've spent more than enough of our time and money on Ukraine.
F the piano wanger-banger.
delusional twerp
Either America walks away completely as if Ukraine did not exist or US and Russia form temp alliance to fully occupy Ukraine and do whatever they need to do with it
Cut everything off, Europe has no capacity to do anything substantial, deal with Russia directly as the only rationale (albeit evil) actor in the region.
We need to get out of NATO tonight before this power-crazy moron starts WWIII and the Euroweenies need us to come to the rescue again.
Cut this guy off and move on people!
Cut our losses and pull out.
Of Ukraine AND Europa. Start withdrawls of our military from European bases.
Size any shipping assets that come out of Ukraine...embargo them.
Enter into a trade deal with Russia pertaining not only the Black Sea area, but the Pacific Rim.
Cut off NATO.
Cut Ukraine loose and let NATO know the US will match the military funding of England.
Then we’ll come and take property and other resources you have to the tune of the billions of dollars your Uncle Joe sent you. Who’s gonna’ stop us?
World War III or bust.
Sign the mineral deal with Russia and walk away.
Seize. Shipping from Ukraine...
Russia should join NATO, then the EU will have to support Russia against Ukraine.
What a sick idea...the problem is that Iike it :)
Just to see western european leaders’ faces :)
I imagine Zelensky is starting to alienate even people who are generally sympathetic to the Ukrainian cause. Perhaps there’s a method to Trump’s approach. The more that deals are agreed to in principle and the more Zelensky ends up sabotaging them, the more he may be isolating himself, politically.
Perhaps the Trump administration is giving Zelensky the rope to hang himself. I think there’s a reasonable chance his position within Ukraine is weakening to the point where it may soon be untenable for him to remain in power. I hope that’s the case.
He is a foul POS. I hope the end of him is soon.
Totally agree with what you said. Little Pronk Zelensky can drop dead for all I care.
We got enough assets in Romania as well as the entire western Ukraine border we can go in and take Odessa and that entire region.
Let the Russians know of our intentions through back channels and do it.
