Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is boasting on the front page of The Wall Street Journal that, “Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea. There’s nothing to talk about here.” This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion. Nobody is asking Zelenskyy to recognize Crimea as Russian Territory but, if he wants Crimea, why didn’t they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired? The area also houses, for many years before “the Obama handover,” major Russian submarine bases. It’s inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy’s that makes it so difficult to settle this War. He has nothing to boast about! The situation for Ukraine is dire — He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country. I have nothing to do with Russia, but have much to do with wanting to save, on average, five thousand Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, who are dying for no reason whatsoever. The statement made by Zelenskyy today will do nothing but prolong the “killing field,” and nobody wants that! We are very close to a Deal, but the man with “no cards to play” should now, finally, GET IT DONE. I look forward to being able to help Ukraine, and Russia, get out of this Complete and Total MESS, that would have never started if I were President!

Did you really post this unironically? Trump posting on Twitter to ask Putin to stop his war that’s caused hundreds of thousands in casualties is ineptness like we’ve never seen. Do you think Putin read that message and thought, “Good point - I should stop now”?
You really need to get your head out of your *** and give critical thinking a shot. You really posted that tweet…. Wow.
You need to get some meds bro to calm down. This is a thread about the Ukraine war and potus just posted related to it so it's applicable.
My whoop shows I’ve had a resting heart rate this entire time.. It’s certainly applicable - I’m just saying no rational human being reads that post and thinks Trump can competently negotiate peace.
He's point out to woefully ridiculous message for a US President.
Anytime you guys want to admit that Zelensky was right and JD and the Orange Guy owe him an apology we are here for it.
Truns out, Putin is a liar and it is ridiculous to act like Ukraine was the bad actor in diplomacy.
I’ve been saying for years, that when Trump negotiates an end to this war, Putin will demand Trump address the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
Is it a coincidence that as soon as the US/Ukraine signed their economic agreement, Tulsi announces the biolabs are being investigated?
Russia and China have been seeking accountability for these US-funded biolabs in Ukraine for years now at the UN. It’s been one of the most talked about subjects at the UN, but gets COMPLETELY ignored by Western media. There’s simply no way this subject did not come up during these months of negotiations between Trump and Putin.
By Tulsi confirming yesterday that she and RFK Jr. are currently investigating the US-funded biolab network and nefarious gain-of-function research, that tells me negotiations with Russia went well, and Trump is willing to work with Putin on cleaning up the biological malfeasance that happened in Ukraine with US funds.
I believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Tulsi/RFK Jr.’s investigation into the biolabs, is tied to the negotiations with Russia/Ukraine. It’s one of the stipulations in the peace agreement. Putin and his military have said for years they will not stop unless the bioweapon development is addressed, and Trump’s administration is now addressing it.
If we maintain this trajectory, the Deep State will be facing prosecution for crimes against humanity.
UK is lost and apparently Russia has a lot more going on than the TI military experts realize.
🇬🇧🇷🇺THE ROYAL NAVY’S GOT 9 SHIPS. RUSSIA’S BUILDING A FLEET…
While everyone was watching Russia’s tanks roll into Ukraine, Russia’s also been quietly cranking out warships like it’s running a military Costco.
Since 2011, Russia has built 27 submarines, 6 big frigates, 9 corvettes, and 16 missile-packed boats.
These aren’t your grandpa’s Soviet rust buckets—they come loaded with Kalibr cruise missiles (the ones that hit Ukraine), hypersonic Tsirkon missiles (yes, faster than a speeding bullet), and even a nuke-powered underwater drone that sounds like it belongs in a James Bond movie.
Meanwhile, the UK sent 4 ships—including 1 aircraft carrier—on a “look at us” world tour, leaving 9 war-ready ships to protect home waters.
Not 9 per base. 9 total.
Some of their other ships are sitting in dry docks collecting dust.
One destroyer hasn’t sailed since 2017.
Another sub has been “getting fixed” for 2 years…
And those 2 big British landing ships?
Mothballed.
As in, maybe going to Brazil. Seriously.
While Russia teams up with China and Iran for global naval drills, Britain is stuck with photo ops and polite speeches.
Once the king of the seas, the Royal Navy now basically needs a permission slip to patrol the Atlantic.
So yeah—Russia’s got the boats… Britain’s got the band music and hopes no one notices.

I am 99% sure that Trump addressing gain-of-function, is part of the negotiations with Russia.
For years now, Russia have been trying to start a formal UN investigation into US bioweapon production. Russia claim it’s one of their main reasons for moving into Ukraine in 2022.
Russia have been telling the world that they want justice for Covid. Putin wants Fauci’s head, along with a great deal of others, to include; Soros, Obama, Clinton, Biden, Bill Gates, and many more, that Russian MIL claim to be involved in US-funded bioweapon development in Ukraine. Those names are not something I made up. All of this information was formally alleged at the UN by Russian MIL, multiple times since 2022. The chart pictured below is part of the formal allegations sent to the UN by Russian MIL. Whether or not you believe Russia is a different conversation, but they actually accused those people of bioweapon production.
Putin will not withdraw his troops unless he has guarantees that US bioweapon development in Ukraine and elsewhere will be stopped, investigated, and are no longer a threat to his People. There’s simply no way this subject did not come up during negotiations. This has been one of Russia’s main subjects at the UN for 3 years now. There’s no way Trump and Putin did not discuss this.
Trump’s EO about gain-of-function tells me that negotiations with Russia went well, and in all likelihood, stopping and investigating gain-of-function is one of the stipulations Putin demanded in order to withdraw, and Trump was happy to cooperate.
Trump and Putin share the same enemies.
Newsmax reporting that Ukraine's parliament has ratified the mineral deal.
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says he is "booked out" tomorrow BUT would possibly go to Turkey to mediate peace talks with Putin and Zelensky tomorrow.
MARCO RUBIO is for sure going.
"Tomorrow, we're all booked ... That doesn't mean I wouldn't do it to save a lot of lives and come back ... I don't know that [Putin] would be there if I'm not there. We're gonna find out. Marco's going."
👀👀
Putin confirmed he will NOT be headed to negotiations with Zelensky in Istanbul on Thursday, but will send delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky.
Rubio will be in attendance as well.
My guess is, that Trump and Putin’s teams will feel out the situation to see if Zelensky is serious about making a deal to end this war, and if so, Trump and Putin could potentially arrive Friday to finalize the peace deal.
That would make the most sense, based on Trump’s comments from AF1 earlier about being willing to go to Istanbul, being booked at UAE on Thursday, and about Marco looking into the situation.
Trump is willing to go to Istanbul, only if the deal is for sure going to get done, and it appears Putin feels the same way. Everything hinges on how talks go with Zelensky tomorrow.

Just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of. The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent. If it wasn’t, I would say so now, rather than later. Russia wants to do largescale TRADE with the United States when this catastrophic “bloodbath” is over, and I agree. There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth. Its potential is UNLIMITED. Likewise, Ukraine can be a great beneficiary on Trade, in the process of rebuilding its Country. Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately. I have so informed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, President Emmanuel Macron, of France, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, of Italy, Chancellor Friedrich Merz, of Germany, and President Alexander Stubb, of Finland, during a call with me, immediately after the call with President Putin. The Vatican, as represented by the Pope, has stated that it would be very interested in hosting the negotiations. Let the process begin!
