#Trump Admin: We cut #Starlink, vital for military and infrastructure, unless #Ukraine hands over rare earth minerals

Trump: "Pretty close" to agreement and US will soon "get our money back"

Says #Zelensky does not need to be in negotiations over #Russia invasion

#EU Defense Commissioner rejects #Trump Admin criticism that Europe not supporting #Ukraine resistance of #Russia invasion

EU support $134 bn v. US $100 bn during invasion

Both need to increase support "because we want to achieve this formula: 'Peace through strength'"

#Trump Admin draft UN resolution, rivalling that from #Ukraine and #Europe partners, for 3rd anniversary of #Russia invasion

US draft does not mention "Russian aggression" - "Russia-Ukraine conflict" - No apparent reference to Ukraine sovereignty & territorial integrity

Russia praises "good move"

#Trump modifies blame of #Ukraine for starting #Russia invasion

Says on Friday, "Russia attacked, but they [Ukraine] shouldn't have let him attack"

@ScottLucas Trump is an advocate for Russia, it may be hard but you need to reject any offer we submit, because it is from Putin.

Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov: 2nd direct US- #Russia meeting over Moscow's invasion of #Ukraine will take place w/n next 2 weeks

Specific location in 3rd country being agreed

“Principled agreement” on both sides to hold consultations to work out “the entire block of so-called irritants"

#TrumpRussia

3 sources: #Russia may agree to using $300bn of its frozen assets in Europe for reconstruction in #Ukraine

But Moscow will insist that part of the money is spent on the areas which it occupies

@ScottLucas Should have mentioned; serious offers only...

@ScottLucas
Our offer to them is nothing.

Video: Amid #Trump Admin pressure & Trump lies and insults, #Zelensky says

"Today, #Ukraine and US teams are working on a draft agreement between our governments. This agreement can add value to our relations — what matters most is getting the details right to ensure it truly works"

@ScottLucas sad that #Ukraine needs to work hard to try to appease the ego/greed of someone who will sell them out regardless of what they do

This is truly a waste of time but it’s understandable why when faced with this shakedown while also facing the threat of a genocidal extinction that Ukraine will try to at least delay.

I hope Europe rallies for Ukraine and it’s own self interest and gives Putin and the orange felon a big middle finger while they still can.

@lrreynolds @ScottLucas i think #Ukraine should shake down Trump. You want rare minerals? Well, give us 50% of your military stuff first. We don't promise you shit.

#Ukraine drones struck substation of Novovelychkovskaya oil pumping station in Krasnodar region in SW #Russia on Friday

Attack effectively disrupted the station's operations

#UkraineWar

Officials: #Zelensky still not prepared to accept #Trump Admin draft agreement for handover of #Ukraine rare earth minerals

Draft does not reflect a partnership, has only one-sided obligations for Ukraine, and does not resolve the requirement of security guarantees

TC Won't Give In To Lies Feb 22, 2025

@ScottLucas
#Zalensky knows any deal with Trump cannot be trusted. Just look at his US-Mexico-Canada trade deal.

I suspect he's running out the clock until Trump finds a new shiny object ...or just takes anything to claim he has a "deal".

3+ civilians killed and 26 injured by #Russia attacks across #Ukraine over past 24 hours

Air defenses down 82 of 162 drones --- 75 lost to electronic counter-measures

#UkraineWar

#Trump officials and advisors trying to end aid to #Ukraine - #JDVance, #StephenMiller, and #DonaldTrumpJr camp -intimidating and trying to isolate those who still want some support

Key target is Trump envoy to #Ukraine Kellogg

Sec of State Rubio "knows the knives are out for him"

#TrumpRussia

2nd #Trump Admin draft on handover of #Ukraine rare earth minerals was virtually unchanged from 1st

#Zelensky again rejects proposal

#Ukraine rejects #Trump Admin draft re handover of minerals

"There are no US obligations in agreement regarding guarantees or investments, everything about them is very vague, & they want to extract $500bn fm us.

What kind of partnership is this? Why do we have to give $500bn? There is no answer"
