Trump’s #extortion of Ukraine

#Trump privately made clear to aides a minerals deal with #Ukraine won’t be enough to restart #aid & #intelligence sharing

He wants to change #Zelenskyy’s attitude, officials said, including making #concessions by giving up #territory to #Russia. Trump also wants Zelenskyy to move toward #elections, & possibly toward stepping down as his country’s leader, the officials said.

Ukraine wasn’t officially asked by US to make territorial concessions

#Ukraine has not received official proposals for #territorial #concessions as part of potential #PeaceTalks with Russia from US or other partners, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson said on March 7.

“We have not received such proposals,” spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said during a press briefing

As #jdvance proposes #democratic #parties to collaborate with #extremeright #AfD it would be a sign if consistency if the #gop to collaborate with #democrats .

But frankly, I assume his interference is #hypocrisy and just like #Trump ( starting direct talks with #putin and making #concessions as is this was the very first deal in his life ) the intent is to create maximum diplomatic damage in #Europe .

In the end #Trump will have #USA mostly isolated and too weak to face #China .

#Putin’s vision of peace is subjugated #Ukraine & weak Euro-Atlantic community expert say

Since Donald #Trump announced the beginning of the peace ‘negotiations’ in #Russia's war against Ukraine, US made several statements on what Ukraine should & should not expect

Yet, there are no indications of any conditions or #concessions #Moscow will have to settle for

[Not indication of a ‘negotiation’, but a demand]

Peace talks with Russia only possible when Moscow runs out of resources

“Only the strong are helped, so we must remain strong,” Yermak said

Real negotiations for lasting #peace will begin only when the enemy no longer has resources to continue the war

#Yermak warned any #concessions to #Russia would allow it to replenish its army & launch new offensive in future

If Russia is not forced to make a just peace, there will be no peace

I was just scrolling yesterday through my stared posts in looking for something and I found this - which just seems way too relevant today in light of the #TuckerCarlson interview with #Putin.

Always remember what #peace means for #Russia whenever that #Kremlin idiot says it wants #negotiations. Always remember what #concessions by #Ukraine in exchange for #peace actually means for #TerroRussia. The only #peace which is acceptable for #Putler is the one where Ukraine gives up all its territory. Then #Moscow can start its #ethniccleaning and the erasure of #Ukrainian identity, just like it did with all the people in its empire. And when that happens, other countries are endangered of following suite - #Moldova, #Georgia, #TheBaltics, even #Poland and #Romania.

At this point, you could comfortably say that Russia is the last classical style #colonialempire of Europe. The only way to #EndTheWarInUkraine is to #defeatrussia.
