U.S. President Donald Trump has made clear that he wants a deal to end Russia’s war in Ukraine by August 8, the United States told the United Nations Security Council on Thursday.
“Both Russia and Ukraine must negotiate a ceasefire and durable peace. It is time to make a deal. President Trump has made clear this must be done by August 8. The United States is prepared to implement additional measures to secure peace,” senior U.S. diplomat John Kelley told the 15-member council.

Is the Ukraine going to surrender?
That’s nice, but why not just totally disengage from Europe except for trade?
Right around the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima/Nagasaki. What could he do short of using the military? All nations would have to support him. None of this ‘you go first’ stuff.
Tell your Medvedev to tell Putin to stop antagonizing President Trump.
Let’s see the Epstein list released by August 8th.
Tucker? Is that you?
Is Russia going to surrender?
Get on the Trump train, bro.
Trump can end it, but only if he LISTENS to Tulsi.
Daniel Ortega is on your side.
Nicaragua’s Ortega Recognizes Occupied Ukrainian Territories as Part of Russia
The ugly deal that makes sense but no-one wants to admit is necessary:
Russia keeps Crimea, and probably the urban extreme eastern parts of Ukraine in Luhansk and Donetsk, but abandons claims to Zaporizhia and Kherson, and rural areas of Luhansk and Donetsk that are proximal to Kiev.... maybe a land corridor along the coast can be negotiated, since the coastal regions are well very heavily Russian culturally anyway. Ukraine would formally remain outside of NATO, but NATO members would sign a protection pact with Ukraine. And Israel joins NATO just to piss off France. (Kidding.)
Ukraine provides protection for Russian-language minorities, including full, private Russian-language TV, radio, internet, universities, etc., but Russian funding is prohibited, including paid advertising.
This would legitimize the concerns Russia alleged, but by insisting on a significant pull-back from the front and emphasizing the extreme losses to Russia’s military, it would delegitimize the means Russia used and disincentivize further aggression.
Negotiable: Zelenskyy resigns.
“Daniel Ortega is on your side.”
Ursala, Schwab, Obama, Hillary, AOC, and the ENTIRE Democrat Party is on your side.
Zelensky doesn’t want the war to end. He just okayed men SIXTY YEARS OLD to fight!
What no-one wants to admit is that after what Poroshenko has done, Ukraine can never govern the areas of the Donbas that were held by insurgents. Even the Ukrainians acknowledged how evil Poroshenko was by fact that the incredibly huge majority of Ukrainians never considered voting for him when Zelenskyy won; Zelenskyy had been seen as the “compromise candidate” between Russian-Ukrainians and non-Russian-Ukrainians.
So don’t use this as fuel for the neo-Soviets that often dominate this discussion: Poroshenko was terrible, but the Ukrainians got rid of him on their own.

“President Trump wasn’t joking about his Easter deadline to Putin.” - clownusmaximus
Have you studied history ?
Tell Medvedev to tell Putin that President Trump’s deadline remains August 8th.
You telling us Europe never had wars before the US was formed?
