I guess we knew this was happening but it’s still startling to see it confirmed. The US makes even more concessions to Russia as it “negotiates” a peace agreement:
The Trump administration has stopped financing new weapons sales to Ukraine and is considering freezing weapons shipments from U.S. stockpiles, moves that threaten Kyiv’s ability to fight at a critical time in its battle against Russian forces, current and former U.S. officials said.
The financing was halted in recent weeks amid the administration’s freeze on foreign aid. But the move to potentially shut down the main pipeline for arms transfers to Ukraine comes days after a contentious meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. The tense exchange Friday raised fears across Europe that the U.S. could be moving away from the wider Western alliance.
Considering that and everything else, this certainly can’t be a surprise:
The United States is drawing up a plan to potentially give Russia sanctions relief as President Donald Trump seeks to restore ties with Moscow and stop the war in Ukraine, a U.S. official and another person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
So here’s where the “negotiations” stand:
Ukraine concessions
- Russia will get all the territory its seized
- No NATO membership ever
- Zelensky will crawl on his belly and apologize to Trump in front of the whole world for being so mean to Vladimir Putin
- Ukraine will not require any guarantee of security to back a cease fire or peace deal
- The US will lift sanctions on Russia
- The US will cease to send weapons to Ukraine
Russia concessions:
We’ll be lucky if the whole world doesn’t end up looking like the demolition of the Trump Taj Majal.
