Presumably that statement means nothing was signed, and Zelenskyy kept his dignity and refused to arse-lick.
So proud of him.

Yes really because if zelensky was able to come to the table.... And do the deal that's a back door guarantee of support.

So now... Absolutely nothing!

Whose the winner here? Will trump be affected or the the people of America?how will putin feel right now I bet he's punching the air!!

This has got dick all to do with winning. It’s about decency and at the bare minimum, standards of appropriate behavior in public office.

Yes that's exactly what starmer did yesterday. He held his nose and liked ass.
He was well primed he stroked dons ego.. He handed the royal letter he shmoozed... He grovelled just like macron, velvet glove iron fist. They totally stroked his ago but remained gently firm.

Unfortunately zelensky is totally emotionally, upset, pushed to the edge and I don't think this should have been public at all.

Starmer did this.

Beggars can't be choosers

I'm not saying any of this is morally correct or how it should be.

But it's being pragmatic.

Zelensky wants putin punished and right now that isn't going to happen.

The only plus I can see from this is that the mask has well and truly slipped from the Oval Office and hopefully that atrocious performance will let more people see what a bullying, incompetent, clueless and abhorrent pair Trump and Vance are.

Trump and the Henchmen is not the latest band, but the American government.
Trump, Vance, Ramaswamy, Musk and Moscow Calling, also known as Carlson.

wholettheturnipsburn · 28/02/2025 18:36

Zelensky should set Yermak on that eyeliner little fucker

MagicFox · 28/02/2025 18:38

That statement....I'm so shaken by it, I can't believe it

Trump, Vance and Putin did this

I feel trump is playing a clever game or rather his advisors are.
I think the "deal"is clever actually if it all goes ahead and what we they are in is a chess game.

How to try and out snake putin?
Go head to head and literally put the entire world at risk.
That can't happen.
So what does trump do he could carry on locked in this half war where we can't give them more proper stuff to help!
Every time we creep forward putin threatens and be could use nukes small nukes which would be devastating and we cannot respond too

This deal is clever.
It means the USA gets a foothold investment in Ukraine
If the USA does that... There will be something there for USA to "protect". USA is nato so essentially it's a backdoor way of getting USA support without going in putin face.

Unfortunately I don't think zelensky understands the nature of Trump which is extremely unfortunate.
On the other hand... Maybe trump will respect him more after this??

Unfortunately Trump is holding the card, zelensky is in a terrible desperate situation and he has to work with trump.

I really can't get onboard with Trump being a strategic genius

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 28/02/2025 18:50

The idea that the Fart has the least idea about anything outside his own ego is quite extraordinary.

prettybird · 28/02/2025 18:54

If I were Zelenskyy, I'd be brandishing the Minsk Agreement and repeating, broken record fashion, "You guaranteed us our sovereignty in return for giving up our arsenal of nuclear weapons." ShockConfusedAngry

Why the fuck should any country (except Russia and North Korea) ever trust the USA ever again ShockAngryConfused

Nothing they sign or agree is worth the paper they're written on. Hmm

Trump, with his multiple bankruptcies and felony convictions, had already demonstrated he was not to be trusted.

"If someone shows who they are, believe them".

Many of us had already done so.

BringBackCoffeeCreams · 28/02/2025 19:05

Still here, wondering what the fuck is going on.

Is it the minerals deal Zelensky has refused to sign, because of the lack of security guarantee? Or did he sign that one but refuse to sign the one handing over Ukranian territory to Putin?

dibly · 28/02/2025 19:11

Minerals deal I think

My God, Trump and Vance berating Zelensky. I feel like crying watching this: www.instagram.com/reel/DGoBfHVMwRl/?igsh=YWFweHdjaXQ1cmls

Wow, that was unbelievably terrible. Zelensky's face really shows how frustrated he was with Trump and Vance.

Everything is reduced to entertainment, a post shame culture, what is exactly wrong with sincere politics, idealism and love and compassion for fellow human beings.

Igotjelly · 28/02/2025 19:14

Trump is so petty and personal I really fear where this goes next.

PiggyPigalle · 28/02/2025 19:14

Two good things.
All on the right side agree that T&V's behaviour was vile.
No deal signed.

Now Europe has to release the Russian money and step up a gear.

President Zelensky flying to a meeting with PM Starmer. London or Chequers?

It was reported earler that Zelenskyy will attend the summit on Suday

StatuteofLiberty · 28/02/2025 19:17

{mention:dibly}@dibly @WinterMorn you asked why zelensky should grovel to trump.

I replied it's what starmer did.

My heart breaks for zelensky he's caught between two men very mad in their own ways.

I wish he hadn't gone he's too emotional.

Igotjelly · 28/02/2025 19:18

I cannot put into words quite how much I loathe Trump, Vance and every mother fucker that voted for them.

You’d be emotional too if it was your countrymen and women being slaughtered!

Trump himself said its good tv he's obsessed with ratings and approval.

It’s not good TV at all in the way that he thinks it is.

This is what I mean, politics reduced to entertainment but the reality is everyone is impacted including Americans!
