The White House provides the following readout from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz following President Trump’s phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
WHITE HOUSE – “Today, President Donald J. Trump and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a fantastic phone conversation. President Zelenskyy thanked President Trump for a productive start for the work of the Ukrainian and American teams in Jeddah on March 11th. The meeting of the senior officials from both nations significantly helped in moving toward ending the war.
President Zelenskyy thanked President Trump for the support of the United States, especially the Javelin missiles that President Trump was first to provide, and his efforts towards peace. The leaders agreed Ukraine and America will continue working together to bring about a real end to the war, and that lasting peace under President Trump’s leadership can be achieved.
President Trump fully briefed President Zelenskyy on his conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the key issues discussed. They reviewed the situation in Kursk and agreed to share information closely between their defense staffs as the battlefield situation evolved. President Zelenskyy asked for additional air defense systems to protect his civilians, particularly Patriot missile systems, President Trump agreed to work with him to find what was available particularly in Europe.
The two leaders also agreed on a partial ceasefire against energy. Technical teams will meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to discuss broadening the ceasefire to the Black Sea on the way to a full ceasefire. They agreed this could be the first step toward the full end of the war and ensuring security. President Zelenskyy was grateful for the President’s leadership in this effort and reiterated his willingness to adopt a full ceasefire.
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. American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
President Zelenskyy also thanked President Trump for continuing to push humanitarian concerns, including the exchange of POWs. He noted they had just had a successful exchange and thanked the President for his leadership. President Trump also asked President Zelenskyy about the children who had gone missing from Ukraine during the war, including the ones that had been abducted. President Trump promised to work closely with both parties to help make sure those children were returned home.
They agreed all parties must continue the effort to make a ceasefire work. The Presidents noted the positive work of their advisors and representatives, especially Secretary Rubio, National Security Advisor Waltz, Special Envoy Kellogg, and others. The Presidents instructed their teams to move ahead with the technical issues related to implementing and broadening the partial ceasefire. The Presidents instructed their advisors and representatives to carry out this work as quickly as possible. The Presidents emphasized that in further meetings, the teams can agree on all necessary aspects of advancing toward lasting peace and security.” (LINK)
“American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure.”
I don’t know about that. Personally, I think we need less presence overseas and concentrate on our own problems.
Due to the “Green New Scam”, not only have we been closing coal fired power plants here, they have been dismantling them so they cannot be restarted. All this after each plant spent millions of dollars decades ago to install scrubbers, as well as burn only low sulfur coal.
American ownership of overseas plants gives us a reason to meddle there in the future.
Somebody here was just talking about getting a call about power from Ukraine.
I’m going to see who it was and what they said.
I think it’s way to secure those plants from attack…or nuclear blackmail by Ukraine. I would not put it past Zelensky to threaten a meltdown to extract concessions. Then all 14 plants become points of conflict.
They don’t want to set off a panic, so they’ say it’s about security and economics.
And if we siphon off some money as a tax, we can start trying to recoup our lost investment.
That is what the Kursk offensive was about.
Ukraine trying to capture and use the Russian nuclear
plant there as leverage.
Also, Ukraine has also been making strikes
on the ZPP nuclear plant almost from the start
of the conflict….and they are still trying to take
control of it!
Interesting the nuclear plants were brought up 🤔🤔
I can say for certainty that attacks on nuclear plants have been blown way out of proportion. Not even close to what was happening. The attacks were primarily miles away- miles; however, distribution lines and offsite power supply lines (used to prevent station blackouts and shut the plant down safely) have been damaged or destroyed. Early on, the Russians and the Ukrainians would meet to repair them. The news never touched on that aspect in detail. I wonder why. That was early one, in the past year or so, the mutual efforts have gone away- and again, my opinion, I don’t think it was wholly because of the Russians
Yes, a drone “attacked” the entombment structure at Chornobyl…but it was one. Although this aspect was not shared, I think it wasn’t Russian, but it sure was sold as Russian.
Putin does not want to destroy those facilities; they are key assets that would need to be utilized to rebuild, regardless of who controls the land.
They fired on Zaporizhzhia all the time, I recall buildings burning there.
They tried to retake it many times in scandalously indifferent fashions.

Yup.💁♀️🤷♀️
Seems like one of the European power commissions WANTED Russia to run it because they had more skilled people & resources – to run the biggest one in Europe.
Do you get updates from the IAEA?
“The attacks were primarily miles away”
Your statement is patently false.
Not only have the roofs of some of the reactor buildings been struck, the cooling infra have also been attacked. Even the storage areas for spent nuclear material did not escape attack.
I am specifically referring to Zaporizhia NPP that’s under Russian control.

Not challenging you, but way in the hell would Putin want to attack any nuclear power plant after what happen in Chernobyl?
This makes absolutely no sense to me since it sits in his damn back yard.
Ukraine has shelled the NPP not Russia…
Or a way to drag us into their ethno-war.
Agree. I am far more concerned about the false flags Z would do to further EU-Z-Neocons into WW3.
ww4…….ww3 cold war
rinse, repeat…..
That’s my first thought, preventing Ukronazi hijinks.
Who had been demanding nuclear weapons?
Which party pretended the other was going to launch a dirty bomb and blame Kiev?
Kiev, of course, telegraphing their own projection.
Da, I see it as securing the plants to prevent problems, and this could be in response to concerns expressed by Russia, well founded such would be.
To further prove the little green gnome
is a strung out nut case!
Zelensky says he told Trump Ukraine will pursue nuclear weapons if it can’t join NATO
New York Post…Oct 2024
Genau!
PDJT is getting ahead of him.
NO NUKES FOR YOU.
NO DIRTY BOMBS EITHER!!
Orano SA is a French multinational nuclear fuel cycle corporation. On March 6, it signed a deal with Energoatom, the Ukrainian national nuclear operator, to supply it with French enrichment services through to 2040. EDF and Framatome are also involved in projects aimed at modernizing Ukraine’s nuclear reactors and improving their safety protocols.
If there is no out-loud complaining from France about PDJT’s interest in the U.S. taking ownership and operational responsibility of Energoatom’s nuclear power plants, then the expression of said U.S. interest was likely coordinated in advance with France.
Make of that possibility what you will.
Thank you for sharing that probably little known fact.
I wonder how long it would take to get some more nuclear power plants built over here, with PDJT cutting red tape and regulations.
Something would probably have to be put into law in order for private industry to commit funds. Otherwise, another President could just shut things down like JRB did with the Keystone pipeline.
Regulation is not the main problem that new U.S. nuclear power projects face. It is poor commercial competitiveness against natural-gas fired plants and subsidized renewable energy projects. See the blurb below for additional details:
“According to Science Direct, nuclear power accounted for approximately 20% of U.S. electricity generation in 2019, down from its peak of 23% in 1995. It also supplied nearly half of the country’s low-carbon electricity. However, competition from low-cost natural gas and declining renewable energy prices has put many plants at risk of early retirement. Efforts to extend plant lifespans have faced hurdles, with four facilities shutting down despite potential license renewals. By 2030, an additional 15 to 20 plants could close, mirroring challenges faced by aging nuclear infrastructure in countries like Spain and the UK.”
“subsidized renewable energy projects”
That is the “BIGGIE” right there.
Government picking winners and losers due to legislation written by lobbyists to give advantages to one group over another.
Eventually wind and solar might become economically viable outside of niche applications for supplemental power. However, trying to force widespread use of them before it is economically practical is where we find ourselves today.
Just so those invested in the New Green Scam can profit at other people’s expense.
Itsvo.k. these large plants are being phased out.
The way to go is with smaller plants, servicing a smaller area, and less transmission distance.
Today the technology is there to make the smaller nuclear power plants feasible.
Some years ago, “Popular Mechanics” had an issue with an article describing how that would work.
I just found 2, the 3rd article from PM is about AOC (from “the squad”) wanting to eliminate nuclear and PM agreeing with her.

“By 2030, an additional 15 to 20 plants could close, mirroring challenges faced by aging nuclear infrastructure in countries like Spain and the UK.””

Just Like That: Amazon, Google, And Meta Plan To Triple Nuclear Energy Capacity By 2050
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/amazon-google-and-meta-plan-triple-nuclear-energy-capacity-2050
=================
“For decades, nuclear energy has been verboten for American consumers as war on fossil fuels has driven energy prices skyward for American consumers. Now Technocrats are demanding nuclear power to fuel their humongous data centers. Don’t get you hopes that you will ever see one erg of that energy as they are building separate and exclusive power grids for themselves. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.”
https://www.technocracy.news/just-like-that-amazon-google-and-meta-plan-to-triple-nuclear-energy-capacity-by-2050/
What is so irritating, the amount of pretending re: “Green Energy”. Wind, nuclear, & solar are ALL fossil fuel derivatives. We currently need fossil fuels/hydrocarbons for mining, transportation from mines to manufacturing plants for processing & mfg, transportation to where the finished “goods” are sold to the end user, then transportation & installation of those items where they’ll be used… And, many of these items become trash after their lifespan is completed.
EV trucks can’t handle those kinds of demand, I’ve seen pictures of the trucks digging & moving stuff around, they’re as big as a building. Solar, wind, nuclear is a fail in that regard.
Another thing, Ukraine has bombed Russia after their “ceasefire”!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/ukraine-bombs-russian-airfield-435-miles-front-lines/
Totally agree. Not only is the amount of lithium needed for all the EVs the “greens” want not available, there is not enough generating capacity to sustain them – or the infrastructure to deliver the amount of power to each home (upgrading neighborhood transformers, etc.).
The “greens” DO NOT CARE. It is about CONTROL – NOT CONSERVATION. They want people relegated to “15 minute cities”.
“You will own nothing and be happy” – Klause Schwab
I agree, and a lot of other non-renewables are needed as well for all of the electronic gadgets, data centers, etc etc. we “need” or “have-to-have’s”.
Because the nitwits don’t care, they have too much TDS or other various forms of derangement syndrome, ie. I just made up CDS (climate derangement syndrome), no critical thinking skills &/or ability to think for themselves, they haven’t realized it’s all a scam as well as a HUGE money laundering money pit. One thing, they haven’t begun to question is why we’re expected to “own nothing & be happy”, when the elite are still flying around in private planes, yachts, etc etc.
I remember learning when I was a teenager 50+ years ago, much is about power, control, and greed…
Oh yes, I remember California issuing a statement asking people not to charge their EVs due to energy shortages. Multiply that by the ridiculous number of EVs the left wants and no one will be able to recharge their EV.
Most likely. It was a plum ambassadorship and who received it?
It may be more about creating a pathway to engage Russian business opportunities. We know Russia supplies energy to Ukraine. So while they have been fighting Russia, Ukraine has also been paying Russia billions (of our tax money?) to buy the oil and gas needed to keep fighting. What a conundrum.
If the US can middleman energy resources like the power plants, perhaps there is an open window for greater business opportunities with Russia to secure enduring peace and prosperity, as well as recuperating Biden’s 350 billion dollar investment on our behalf.
Obviously Trump knows something that keeps him committed to being the peacemaker of this war. It has to be for the greater good of America First.
Better than putting military troops on the ground, like the 35,000 we have in Germany. Time to call those Americans home. To do that Ukraine has to be stable and Ukraine elections must be part of the deal. Zellensky is done. He will be lucky to lose the vote with his life in tact.
“It may be more about creating a pathway to engage Russian business opportunities.”
There are people here that sure would like to go back to be able to buy some Russian made firearms, for one thing. Or Russian caviar. I am sure there are many more consumer commodities that were shut of due to “sanctions”.
Small potatoes in the big scheme of things, but having choices is nice.
From a strategic standpoint, we do not have any Chromium or Titanium. Russia has both.
During the cold war, we got titanium from the U.S.S.R. to build the SR-71 reconnaissance plane from shell companies set up by the C.I.A. (one of the only things they were good for, IMO).
Last I heard, we get our chromium from Africa, where China is making significant inroads into. I believe we get our Cobalt from Africa as well.
Catalyctic converters use platinum or palladium, both if which come from Russia.
Wasn’t the gas pipeline that Zelensky
shut down Jan 1, used for the
Russian troops to go behind enemy
lines in Kursk.🤣🤣🤣

Ukraine halts Russian gas supplies to Europe | AP News
Exactly, but more importantly to continue the US taxpayer funds to the country indefinitely, like certain other countries.
Look at all those thank yous.🤣👅💪
Didn’t notice your comment before I duplicated yours! 👍🏼
I’m really optimistic about all of this. My one nagging question is, How can Putin/Trump get to a lasting cease fire when the rest of NATO and the EU are gearing up for war?
Theoretically, in a normal world, when there’s the desire for peace the public losing interest in war. Overcoming the media spin is the challenge, but I think in the long run war will be a hard sell when it’s apparent Trump and Putin desire an end to hostilities.
It just seems like the probability of a false flag attack into an Article 5 invocation is so high. I guess we will just wait and see.
If Trump, Putin, and Zelensky agree to a peace treaty which excludes, NATO/EU, then NATO/EU would have to invade the Ukraine if they want the war to continue. I don’t see that happening. The key is a peace treaty between Putin and Zelensky with Trump acting as an interested 3rd party.
President Trump and President Putin- are Peers.
Zelensky and Ukraine -are dependents.
Or, as Dmitry Medvedev stated in tweet—-
“The phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump proved a
well known idea—there is only Russia and America in the dining room.
On the menu: light appetizer -Brussels sprouts,British fish and chips,
and Paris Rooster. The main course is a Kiev-style cutlet-Enjoy your meal!”
I really do like the brutal humor of some Russians 😁😁
The rest of EU/NATO couldn’t have a war without US arms and support.
If we don’t come to the party there is no Party.
But long range, the EUROWIENIES currently controlling the Govts of most EU Countries including the big 3, GB, Germany and France, are hell bent on this scheme to conquer Russia, and show no signs of abandoning it.
So long as they dominate the politics of their countries, and of the EU, the risk that they will continue to push for war, or try this crap again, persists .
Remember, they have been working on this for 20+ years.
Hence, we need regime change, both in the U.S. and in the 27 countries of the EU, especially the big 3.
Already have Italy and Hungary, as well as some smaller countries like Georgia, and currently contesting for Romania…AFD, Reform and La Penn have all been making steady gains, and tariffs can be used as a very persuasive cudgel, to help the process along.
MEGA, Make Europe Great Again is a coalition of 27 different political parties, all populist/nationalist, that are not interested in conquest of Russia.
PEACE is the prize, and it only comes by deposing the warmongers, here and abroad.
Topple the Crown
Free the World
They’re not gearing up for anything. It’s all bluster. They don’t have the manpower or capability. Hence the demand that the US put boots on the ground.
And that’s before the reciprocal tariffs kick in.
I agree with you, but that didn’t stop them from sacrificing Ukraine, and now a Million+ are dead there. Its hard for me to think that its all for show when the gold and capital is leaving London/Berlin for NYC.
For starters, hold a UKR election. Z won’t be elected. Has about 38% favorability, IIRC.
President Trump also asked President Zelenskyy about the children who had gone missing from Ukraine during the war, including the ones that had been abducted.
Didn’t know that. Where have I been!
Also, I see many thank yous from Z. Guess he learned.
Many children disappeared from Ukraine and it is believed that many were trafficked. Vladimir Putin is accused by the ICC of having “stolen” children from Ukraine (Russian areas) and many of them have been kept safe in Russia, able to go to school without being bombed in their homes or in their schools.
And, allowed to speak Russian, and enjoy their Russian heritage.
LOTS of details to sort out, and no faith in Zmans sucking up, at all.
Eliminating Zman means nothing, however. Remocing from power, those behind him, who created him, ..thats the only viable path to lasting peace.
Some see it as missing or abducted.
Others see it as Russia protecting children
who were in danger …beginning with Maripoul
Siege/battle and taking them to a safe place in
Russia.
A widespread panic because Russia gave the
children Russian citizenship…which makes
sense due to more aid benefits to citizens.
But….that the children may become more
Russian than Ukraine…that is the true cause
of the outrage…. Not their safety…
Not sure of all the details, but 161 were found
in Germany 💁♀️🤷♀️😉😉
I wonder since President Trump asked Zelensky
about it ….if he was trying to get more information
or trying to catch him in a lie. Thinking the latter.
There was even a trial at The Hague in 2023.

There was a case in Colorado where a family adopted a Russian child and the mother beat the child to death with a wooden spoon. IIRC
She adopted an orphan from institutional care and the child was unable to form any human attachments.
I really don’t think she could be
classified as any type of “mother “
if she beat a child to death with a
wooden spoon.
The child was 2 years old! 💔💔💔 The story is horrible.
MOM SENTENCED FOR BEATING BOY TO DEATH WITH KITCHEN UTENSILS – Chicago Tribune
There was a single nut in her thirties who adopted a Russian 7 year old boy, and then sent him back alone with a note saying” I no longer wish to parent this child”.
There was a spate of television shows like Dateline doing stories on “dangerous” Russian orphans at the time, and I think they scared people that the kids were going to kill them or something.
IIRC the boy told her he was going to burn the house down, but a small boy not properly socialized yet is going to say things like that.
He wasn’t the only one sent back without being told.
Yes, it was a train wreck that showed all the flaws of intercountry adoption, especially from countries that put orphans into institutional environments where they developed attachment disorders, then sent them to other countries as if they could magically graft onto a new family, while learning a new language, customs, etc. Of course, that is never an excuse to harm a child, which is why rigorous pre-screening for adoption is necessary and a true accounting of any medical or other issues the child may have so prospective parents can make informed choices about their ability to parent a child with unique needs. This did not occur and that is one of the hallmarks of intercountry adoption – less regulatory – so again, just a trainwreck. Kudos to all those who made adoptions work, but its often luck of circumstances. Of course no one talks about this because adoptees aren’t often given a voice so the fact Z and companions in the US amplified it in this one circumstance is beyond suss.
Exactly, I think this and the case below with the children returned alone on a plane caused Russia to stop adoptions to the US. This was after many of the cases that have been mentioned below. The cessation of adoptions from a country that has experienced an influx of Americans taking children out of other countries via adoption, countries that do not always have clear regulations and thus fertile for corruption and abuse in the adoption industry was and is not uncommon. Guatemala discontinued adoptions as well. Adoptees for reform applaud these cessations and know all too well the corruption that can occur with intercountry adoptions. With Russia and other Eastern Euro countries, the children had often languished in institutional environments and suffered from undiagnosed ailments (fetal alchohol syndrome, etc.) that were either ignored or not disclosed to adoptive parents. Without proper notification, some adoptive parents were overwhelmed and without post-adoption services, terrible consequences occurred. The best path forward was to stop and prevent the possibility of children being repeatedly mistreated. Since this is the true context, and as the commenter noted above, the country cared enough to stop adoptions under these circumstances, it seems Z is acting without understanding. Generally, no one has cared about what happens to children in these circumstances – people still don’t understand why countries stop adoptions – so for Z to pretend to care now is very suspect.
Oops, I meant child returned on the plane alone
I think President Trump asked him about it because he cares about children, and because he wants to make a deal.
If he wants to help children, demand that the care of children become opaque, based on uniform standards with well-trained staff who know the issues of this population. The very first step should be attempts at family reunification with the original family – no matter where that family is now geographically located. Citizenship can come AFTER this step depending on where the family has settled or will settle once the fighting has stopped. No country should claim a child, but seek to let their families claim them. That should be Trump’s starting point. Child-FIRST approach. They are not pawns in the Great Game.
Two separate issues.
Russia has secured the safety of children in conflict areas.
PDJT would NOT ask Zelensky about those children; why would be seek accountability from Z for children in Russia?
No, President Trump is asking Zelensky about children that were and are ostensibly in his area of control and responsibility, where monsters have been reported to be kidnapping and disappearing children for trafficking and uses and abuses too dark and cruel to contemplate.
This, in these conversations, from our perspective on them, seems to be a freshly broached issue, and an entirely appropriate one as well.
Zelensky had been badgering President Trump about the children taken into Russia for their own protection and care; he knows they are well, he was simply exploiting one of the MarxMerdia narratives demonizing President Putin for saving children.
President Putin is much closer to this situation, he knows Ukrainian, and possibly also Russian, children are being spirited out of the country, that traffickers have been caught at the border with children, that a Polish woman was just convicted of smuggling nearly sixty kidneys of unspecified age and provenance, but the math adds up.
This request by President Trump utterly destroys Zelensky’s scam claim and turns attention to the very real crisis, that he and his monsters enabled if not effected.
Don’t conflate these two groups of children;
Putin’s are righteously secured.
Zelensky’s are anything but, and, the accounting demanded of him simply cannot be complied with, how is he going to find children consumed upon the lusts and greeds of the darkest souls on earth?
Much sleep will be lost in Kiev tonight, conscience be damned, it is terror that will rule the nights of those who have done this and can never answer the accounting so kindly demanded of them by a man who won’t take a shoulder shrug for an answer.
So why has President Trump turned off the tracking of missing children in Ukraine?
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-halts-program-track-abducted-ukrainian-children-lawmakers-2025-03-18/
That tracking was for the children that Russia had secured, likely once it was understood that they were taken into safekeeping to keep them away from a war that the genocidal Ukronazis had been waging for several years taking 14,000 lives there was no reason to pursue them, it was a fraudulent farcical virtue signaling pretense of the Biden MalAdministration, no need for President Trump to maintain it.
That tracking has nothing to do with the children that Z-Bag has permitted enabled effected the kidnapping and trafficking of for the most nefarious of purposes, completely separate groups of children, different circumstances, different predictaments.
And, of course, the article is presented by the worst of the MarxMerdia, a fully integrated element of the Derp State, which MUST be destroyed!!

Russia rescued children. Russia needs more people-human beings. When the Country was the Soviet Union abortion was promoted and the population declined. Children that were born to Russians in the Soviet years were immediately institutionalized in massive daycare situations that resulted in psychological problems and learning difficulties.
Millions were killed fighting against the NAZIs with shovels during WWII. Afghanistan decimated the population too.
Yes there is, and it depends on which side you are on, how you see it.
The children are real, and they were moved.
Thank you to all who replied and commented here. Very informative and head scratching.
I wonder if POTUS and Putin discussed this previous to the conversation between z and T.

They sure do seem to have a lot of drones available . . .

It has been suggested to me that the war making subsidiary polity of The City may be providing these, which would make sense, it is, after all, their war, always has been.
There’s a reason they have a table in the kitchen.
When it’s far away “we” bombed Russia.
Russia is nuts to have a ceasefire when Ukraine is sending drones into Russia and bombing their airfield that is home to their strategic nuclear bombers. Ukraine doesn’t want peace and everyone knows it.
Its not about Ukraine, its about the neocon warmongers within our Govt. and those in Europe.
THEY don’t want peace, they will never rest, or give up their quest to depose President Putin, and President Trump for that matter, and pillage Russia.
Hence, lasting peace can not be achieved by any agreement, so long as they remain in controlling positions.
Zelensky works for the neocons here and abroad.
“You’re among friends here” was what the Dem & Repub folks told Zelenskyy a few weeks ago when Z-man was in Washington. People such as Tammy Baldwin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jodi Ernst, Miss Lindsey, etc.
I don’t the Uke dictator learned anything.
Trump will need to cut off the drones & dollars to Zelenskyy again very shortly.
The opening sentence from the readout, “Today, President Donald J. Trump and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a fantastic phone conversation.” seems prematurely ebullient, given the multiple, previous manifestations of VZ’s dishonesty and his demonstrated, insulting stubbornness in maneuvering toward and insisting upon unrealistic “security guarantees” from PDJT.
It is far too soon to be so gleeful when many difficult issues remain to be negotiated. PDJT’s enemies would happily and incessantly revel in mocking such publicly expressed optimism should the war-ending negotiations collapse due to VP’s or VZ’s failings.
Very cautious positivity should be the framework within which progress is reported.
“It is far too soon to be so gleeful when many difficult issues remain to be negotiated.”
I believe that to be true. However, in diplomacy, optics are everything.
Perhaps PDJT still thinks little Z is an annoying piss ant, but he still has to appear to work with him while maneuvering around the nefarious warmongering Neocons trying to thwart his every move.
The end will not be quick or painless.
And we must guard against being
either overly optimistic or become cynical.

it is sound advice. I am maintaining that

“President Zelenskyy thanked President Trump for the support of the United States, especially the Javelin missiles that President Trump was first to provide, and his efforts towards peace.
I dont know if this is a cut against President Trump or what.
Javelin ATGMs are total junk. Ukraine quit using them a few months after the war started because they were so dangerous to use, and did not work a advertised.
Constantly missing the target ( if they even worked at all) and getting the operators killed because they had to expose themself and stand in the open like a fool for over a minute while the contraption tried to acquire target.
Just one more of our many junk weapon systems.
“The bolder the lie, the more they believe in it.”

The actual joke here is that Ukraine sold them to the cartels and they are now on our border pointed at us.
Also, the request for Patriot Defense System is
one of those….😁😁🤣🤦♀️
Zelensky has been trying to get more for
almost a year.
Zelensky Throws Down Gauntlet to West Over ‘Immobile’ Patriot Systems – Newsweek
One trouble with the Patriots is that really light up the sky with a lot of small missile junk when something incoming is detected. However, that can identify the missile battery location, & make it a target for faster hypersonic attack missiles once illuminated.
It’s so very ironic that you put that quote immediately before your fog of war propaganda article link. Hilarious.
It’s true that FPV drones and artillery shells with guided submunitions are far more cost effective in today’s battlefield environments, that doesn’t change the fact that the Javelin has a long history of effectiveness and still has its role to play.
If the Ukrainian operators stand in the open, then they are fools and that has nothing to do with the weapon.
Das vadanya!
Zelenskyy is just playing Trump per direction from the American deep-state and the EU puppet masters. Trump has a “great call” with the little putz and then they bomb Russia the next day. WTF?
Putin has every right to turn Ukraine into an ash-tray in my view. He probably doesn’t want to because he would have to pay to rebuild what he just blew-up. The EU pussies won’t do anything without the US. Problem is, the US deep-state is working independently from the Commander in Chief and in coordination with the EU globalists. That’s a huge problem.
They have a lot of work to do on Team Trump…………. This corruption is GENERATIONS in the making. It won’t get fixed in 3 months. Trump needs to be careful about his security too. If you think they wanted him room-temperature during the campaign. You can bet nearly all of these world leaders would help make him room-temperature now. They have all been living large at the expense of the American people with help from both political parties in the USA. Sickening.
All this seems to be so iffy geopolitically.
Nothing like political talk. I can hear off in the distance ‘there she blows’.
First time I heard about missing children. I would be interested to know how many are missing. Also more about them being abducted. Who took them? Why? Are any of them being channeled out of the country?
Zelensky brought the children up in the infamous Oval Office meeting.
Russia took them. They say they kept them safe from the fighting.
We don’t know if any of them are out of the entire area.
⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️
See other posts on thread already posted about it.
Not. The. Same. Children.
Look upthread please.
This is important, this is about the children Zelensky lost, NOT those Putin saved.
I understand.
👊
Ukraine is responsible for the missing children but they blame it on Russia . Ukraine are the bad guys despite what the MSM say . Beyond horrific things have been happening over there but few have the stomach to handle it.
It’s only been Zelenski / CIA / MI6 / Nazis who have attacked nuke plants, whether in Russia or in Ukraine itself.
This is all theater. Zelenskyy is posting about peace contingent on Russian withdrawal and reparations. The Ukraine still believes that they’re going to drag us into the war to recover everything. The levels of delusion is off the charts in Ukraine. The real question is will Russia take Odessa along with the regions already claimed as Russia.
If we want a real peace and not Versailles 2.0, Odessa must be ceded and secured by Russia.
“We killed Mama Russia” was the UkroNazies doing in Odessa during Maidan.
Odessa would be the target of defeated UkroNazi rage and humiliation, I can’t see Putin abandoning them to that fate and that certain trigger for war, it is a matter of prayer for me that they are saved from that.
Absolutely. I also believe now that Zelenskyy is gonna have to be removed
Ukraine must be dismembered and parceled out to responsible parties to ensure the remainder is sufficiently small and landlocked that deNazification can be made effective and long term.
Yes, our Derp State is highly responsible, but so too is the Global Derp State, not just the EU, but The City, and Ukraine herself has long been a cesspool of hatred and pathologies, Banderites must be as severely dealt with as were the Nazis.
Exactly! Zelensky keeps saying he agrees to the cease-fire and then says he wants his territory back in the next breath.
President Trump is dealing with a psychopathic idiot who simply doesn’t understand he can’t win and doesn’t care how many Ukrainian soldiers he murders!
If we want Russia to believe we’re serious about ending the Ukraine Conflict then President Trump should immediately end weapons and satellite targeting aid to Ukraine.
Otherwise, we’re just bullshitting!
President Trump recently spoke two and a half hours on the phone with President Putin.
The longest in history between our leaders.
Do you honestly believe President Putin does not believe or trust President Trump?
Yeah, I want Z-Bag cut down to size, I want it all over quick, but what I really want the most is an enduring unshakeable peace, and setting the stage for that is far more complex than we can imagine, but it would behoove us to try, and I personally see many indications that such wise machinations are in the works, to include, like it or not, allowing Russia to continue to prosecute its war to secure the territories it needs.
I honestly believe that. Putin does not believe or trust President Trump. Why should he? The US has broken every agreement over Ukraine they have had with Russia. Now We start the war in the Mid East back up?? Threatening Iran? Russia’s Ally? Trust is out the window.
That 2 hour phone call was, to use the old saying” A Nothing Burger”.
All these Dog and pony show negotiations remind me of another war. Where they argued endlessly about the size and shape of the negotiating table.
That war did not turn out so good for us.

President Trump is totally sincere but he has to know that Zelensky isn’t because Zelensky keeps saying he wants his territory back. That’s never going to happen. Zelensky thinks he can stall things along until President Trump is no longer in office or he can trigger an attack that brings in NATO.
The only way the war ends is President Trump walks away, disowns Ukraine and stops giving them weapons, money and satellite targeting. Otherwise, as Bannon said, President Trump will own the Ukraine debacle!
That’s a way, not the only way.
Building Russian trust is a high priority.
When the past is Obama and Biden, claiming past portends future is a mite obtuse, no offense intended.
By the way, when did anything Zelensky have to say actually matter all of a sudden?
It’s what President Trump had to say that matters, Zelensky can register his shifting sycophancy and psychopathologies, I’ve had more stable Borderlines, so what? PDJT is shedding light on him, the world is being made to see what we have long seen, this is a good thing, and that it’s slow, okay, that only means that Russia takes more territory, and if Ukraine hits inside Russia hard and causes pain, that stiffens Russian resolve and resets more expansive goals in compensation.
Z-Bag is a shitty actor and I can’t believe anybody is getting played by him, President Trump surely isn’t.
👍 👍 👍
And from what I heard…it was Zelensky who
placed/requested the call with President Trump.
That says a lot.😁
I agree-President Trump knows
what the deal is with Zelensky, and has
known for a long time!
⏰ ⏰ ⏰ Is on the Russian side.
I keep praying that it is, to be honest, that President Trump will allow the time to prove the illegitimacy not only of Zelensky but of the entire regime and political culture as well, and for Russia to achieve certain aims that I anticipated at least two years ago, that would be the only way to create facts on the ground that could serve as a foundation for stable peace and a defanged Ukraine sufficiently isolated to minimize the ease of Derps to slip in from the sea and stir up trouble.
I find myself gritting my teeth at some of the moves from our corner and think “too fast too fast, save Odessa first!”
If Peace is the Prize, the Treaty cannot be a Second Versailles.
If President Trump was sincere. He would stop supplying long range weapons and targeting info To Ukraine and not allow Ukraine’s terrorist strikes deep into Russia.
If he wants to gain Putin’s trust. Back off from Ansarallah and Iran like Russia told him to do.
Russia can play Asymmetric war games just as well as we do Where do you think Ansarallah gets accurate up to date targeting info to hit our aircraft carriers and ships? Up to now Ansarallah has been mainly harassing our ships. Sending cheap missiles and drones to be shot down with our 2 to 4 million dollar missiles and wearing our ships out.
What if because of Trump’s escalation in the Mid East, and 0 concessions to peace in Ukraine. Putin decides to let them use heavier weapons against our ships? Like P800 Onyx Carrier Killers. Or Iran’s own home grown version which are very capable of sinking our ships at long distance.
Its called Asymmetric Warfare.
Tit for Tat. FAFO
Just throwing this out there …… Russia will own the territory where the rare earth minerals are in order to stop the war… Trump pulled up on the minerals deal with zelensky …. Putin and Trump are considering a joint venture on mining and marketing those minerals. Trump is now on the nuclear power plant trail ….. we would be selling electricity to Europe etc for repayment of money and weapons. We have people wanting to purchase the nordstream pipelines and repair them. We would have a stake in the natural gas suppy to Europe. Trump and Putin are partnering up big time ……Europe and Ukraine will be pounding sand and made to like it. Who knows if there will even be a Ukraine when the dust settles.
It will be justly and manageably tiny.
Consider that the Canada gambit has a greater goal beneath the surface, ejecting the Crown from our Continent, freeing Canadian lands, 90% of which are locked into the Crown’s cold idle coffers, and enabling the construction of a railway from the US to Moscow, as we were planning when Britain so rudely slapped Canada together to block that very union . . .
Yes, we will embrace Russia as our Forefathers sought to, we will save Christianity and our heritage, we will thwart the One World Government, and that is just the beginning of the New Golden Age.
Topple the Crown
Save the World
He’s skyyting on thin ice.
The energy infrastructure “cease-fire” lasted less that 24 hours before ziolensky drones hit Russian refineries, pipelines and nuclear weapons airfield
Reference?
This is after a lot of civilians were target practice for Ukrainians & their allies on the retreat from Sudzha.
I do not believe a word Zelensky says…
Any USA or EU presence in any form, power plants, rebuilding,etc is just NATO inserting itself into Ukraine and integrating with it.They are trying to salvage a win.Ukraine has been de facto part of NATO since Bush II and after the 2014 coup.Trump will own this losing war if he thinks he can deal his way in with power plant takeover or co-own it with Ukraine or Black Sea port for Ukraine etc.The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will stay Russian.Ceasefire is what the losing side needs.Russia wants peace for the next 100 years,leaving a hostile armed Ukraine with USA/NATO on the ground in any guise wont happen.If Trump wants the war to stop they have to stop moving military equipment and countless billions of dollars into Ukraine.They also have to stop all the surveillance and targeting that they do for Ukraine.The military base at Mihail Kogqlniceanu, Constanta, southeast Romania, on the Black Sea coast, will become the largest NATO military base in Europe and will surpass the US military base in Ramstein, Germany, in size.Since NATO/DEEP STATE cant stop themselves the Russians will do it for them.
