Trump gives Zelensky tough love as president delivers map of territory Ukraine must give up
The Daily Mail ^ | 18 Aug 2025 | PHILLIP NIETO, KATRINA SCHOLLENBERGER and NIKKI SCHWAB

President Donald Trump presented Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky with a large map showing the 20% of the country under Russian control.

During the Oval Office meeting on Monday, a large map depicting the current battlefield status of the war was presented to Zelensky.

The eastern part of the map was shaded in pink to represent the nearly 20% of the country under control by Putin's forces after the nearly four-year war.

The map may play a roll in pressuring Zelensky to consider transferring territory in order to seal a peace agreement.

Zelensky arrived to the White House for historic talks with President Donald Trump and aimed at ending the Ukraine-Russia war.

Zelensky was joined by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italy's Giorgia Meloni, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Germany’s Friedrich Merz and more.

The Ukrainian president appeared without a tie for the meeting. It was a bold statement after his appearance in military fatigues stirred controversy during his last Oval Office visit six months ago.

“We did it to Yugoslavia, bombed he cr@p out of them, then split it up to ethnic origins. It worked with them , and will work fine in Ukraine.”

Wrong. We did not split Yugoslavia. It was already split before we got involved.

Or the family of the woman that some Russian soldier murdered last week so he could steal her cell phone.

It was split by the Turks centuries before, it was folly to put it back together after WWI.

They should have kept their nuclear weapons, and unfortunately the result of the US, Britain, and Russia failing to uphold the deal which lead to Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons will cause every other nation around the world to seek nuclear weapons and no nation will ever give them up.

Before Russia did anything, Ukraine was shelling Russian speaking civilians in Crimea

That's simply not true. Do you get paid to post that kind of nonsensical propaganda?

Many of the casualties were civilians who died horrific deaths at the hands of the Ukrainian Army.

Something must be really bad in Moscow. We all saw that lie posted dozens of times earlier in the war. Why are you resurrecting it now?

If Trump achieves peace he will be re-elected.

You should have paid attention in that class "American Civics for Russian Propagandists."

What American doesn't know that US presidents can only serve two terms?

You are dreaming!

Like Putin, you try to drive a wedge between the USA, Europe and Ukraine.

Well, guess who was missing from today’s meeting!

Not looking good for Putin. He has no cards left.

Your next check from him may not clear.

Hilarious since it’s spelled BEGGAR.

I know. The first time I posted that here, I pointed out the misspelling. I just stole the meme; I didn’t create it.

I can be pedantic, but I try not to be “stick-up-the-butt” pedantic. 😏

Yep. We’re all suddenly hearing “what about the ‘kidnapped’ (lol) children?” All in global harmony - like a well rehearsed choir.

They need their mouths washed out with a wire brush.

“The Clintons admin made promises that Trump “

The laff is on you for believing Bill Clinton on anything. You’re ranting about trusting Putin, yet you took Clinton’s word on the nukes.

I don’t think that’s a word...

It’s not. The first time I posted that here, I pointed out the misspelling. I just stole the meme; I didn’t create it. But it tied in with dragnet’s post, so there it is.

It’s not tough love. It us “do you want to stop the war, here is what you must give”

Otherwise, defeat them on the battlfield and take a chunk of russia.

“but then it will be the EU vs Russia. Trump is a freaking genius.’

When SHTF the Eurofags will cut and run. Remember the Srebenica massacre. Thousands of Bosnians supposedly under NATO protection were murdered. Worse yet, the Serbs took some Dutch soldiers hostage and the Dutch turned over thousands of Bosnians to the killers.

************************

Countries with nukes don’t get invaded in the post nuclear geopolitical world.

Having said that, even if the Ukrainian government had nuclear capabilities, there is no way they’re nuking Moscow or St Petersburg.

Same with the idiots running the Moscow government, they aren’t nuking Kiev......ever.

Too much history between the two.
