Zelensky says Washington is tying security guarantees to Ukraine withdrawing from Donbas, warning such a move would undermine both Ukraine and Europe’s security.

    Zelensky should be suspicious of Trump. He might be willing to betray Ukraine in exchange for Putin betraying Iran. Europe should be involved in negotiations. This is what Europe should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.

      I mean, the Ukraine was already promised security guarantees that were ignored, so I’m not sure why he thinks trump will honor new ones.

        the Ukraine

        But I agree; the word “guarantee” is buckling under the weight it’s lifting.

        so I’m not sure why he thinks trump will honor new ones.

        Why are you stating he does when he clearly doesn’t?

        “I would very much like the American side to understand that the eastern part of our country is part of our security guarantees,” he said.

        Reminds me of the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact signed in 1939. Hitler broke it in 1941 when Germany invaded Russia. If Trump betrays Ukraine in exchange for Iran, Putin after taking the Donbas region could then betray Trump by sending troops into Iran. Since Russia is closer to both Ukraine and Iran, it can exert control more than the US.

      It’s sure an open secret among Ukrainians that the shithead in the Oval Office is a Russian running dog.

      I believe so but Ukraine will need help if Trump betrays Ukraine. That’s the reason for my proposal.

    This entire episode (even from before Trump was reelected) has demonstrated how little US security guarantees are worth.
