AI? No it’s not. Russian media is circulating footage of Russians assaulting Ukrainian positions in Zaporizhzhia while carrying an American flag. A pathetic propaganda stunt that only underscores Moscow’s desperation.

That's a another war crime to add to their collection.

I think Zelenskyy should channel his inner Churchill and turn up in a fetching and dramatic silk dressing gown.
Obviously he's the only one there who has an inner Churchill.

There are alternatives to a dressing gown.

Me too, trying to analyze every single thing I am seeing.

Same here. Sad

Same here but I'm halfway through painting the hall ceiling with crack covering paint.
Here he comes, then back up a ladder.

minsmum · 18/08/2025 18:16

Concentrating on President Zelensky wearing a suit

PiggyPigalle · 18/08/2025 18:16

My wish is Trump want's no more intervention. He can't trade with Russia while at war. Just sell his weapons to Europe.
Trump appeared to remark on Zelensky's dress. How superficial.

SummerEve · 18/08/2025 18:21

Zelenskyy doing great so far!

He's learnt that Trump's arse needs licking.
Does it with his tongue in his cheek.
IYSWIM. 👅

heldinadream · 18/08/2025 18:23

IT'S PUTIN'S WAR.

Whinge · 18/08/2025 18:23

Agreed. I have no idea how he keeps so calm.

SummerEve · 18/08/2025 18:25

Trump seemingly quite well briefed for a change and acknowledging a bit more than usual.

heldinadream · 18/08/2025 18:26

Put a bag on his head.

minsmum · 18/08/2025 18:33

Trump hasn't had time to set up a trap and the reporters seem to be colluding to keep Trump sweet

Desdemonashandkerchief · 18/08/2025 18:36

I can’t bear listening to Trump at this press conference he just talks such crap - it’s all ‘me, me, me’. And repeating the same lies.

SummerEve · 18/08/2025 18:39

Zelenskyy doing Ukraine and all of us bloody proud 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

minsmum · 18/08/2025 18:41

I was.getting worried about his last answer, it would have been so easy to contradict Trump but he didn't and thanked Trump

Whinge · 18/08/2025 18:41

He's sat next to a man who is trying to defend his country from a Russian invasion and he's ranting about mail in ballots. 🤦‍♀️

minsmum · 18/08/2025 18:42

That's good though, less time for his ego to be bruised

Sorry what? Off topic, but the have crack covering paint? Thank you.

Trump still sounding in awe of Putin and talking bollocks about Ukraine.
