    “Zelenskyy misunderstood the conditions of the ceasefire. You see, the US and Russia agreed that Ukraine would no longer launch attacks against Russia. We didn’t say anything about the other way around. Ukraine needs to start understanding the terms of the ceasefire we’re agreeing to on their behalf if they want to show they’re serious about ending a war they started.”

    – JD Vance, probably.

    Get him by the ego. Let Trump know that this is clear evidence that Putin doesn’t respect him.

      Heh, maybe it will work, but from what I remember, the disaster on that disaster meeting started when Zelenskyy said that putin doesn’t honor any agreement.

      Another thing is that given how quickly he stopped delivery of ammunition, means this was planned since the transition, so the spectacle was purposefully done.

        There’s a small chance that this time could be seen as different as Putin broke a “deal” with Trump.

        Putin breaking agreements with other people, ok, but Trump considers himself different and those don’t count.

        Having Trump be directly involved in a broken deal might be enough of an affront to bother Trump.

        Long shot, more likely Putin rationalizes it away to Trump somehow

    This time, he’s bringing a Black Lotus, Blue Eyes White Dragon, Uno Reverse card, AND Topsun Charizard Blue Back Card.

    What fucking cards do you have, Donny?

    Sounds like an incredible waste of time to me, but I guess as the leader of a country he has to do something.

      Not at all… Last time he came to the white house, the world watched. The EU (defense council?) met with him as soon as he flew back, and pledged like 1.5 trillion to fund defense spending, and plans to put boots on the ground moved forward

      Now he’s going to come back, show he’s devoted to peace, and Trump is probably going to ambush him again - demonstrating again that the US is not a reliable ally and drumming up more support

    Russia’s attack yesterday occurred before Ukraine accepted the ceasefire and was a retaliation for Ukraine’s failed offensive into Belgorod. Ukraine accepted the ceasefire a few hours after the attack leading to Putin ordering air defenses to shoot down any Russian drones heading to Ukraine. Ukraine proceeded to attack an oil depot after accepting the ceasefire.

    Meaning that Putin complied with the ceasefire by halting all attacks on energy infrastructure in Ukraine and even ordered air defenses to shoot down their own drones heading to Ukraine. Ukraine proceeded to attack Russian energy infrastructure in violation of ceasefire.

      I read the comment before checking the username, and mind you, I’ve only been on this site for like 2-3 days, and my first thought was, “oh, this must be a comment from that Putin’s-sack-gargling-Nimda dork.”

      Come on. I just got here. Your shtick shouldn’t ALREADY be getting old.

      I just read that Putin never agreed to the ceasefire though. Did he actually ever agree, and that article was wrong?

      Edit:news evolves pretty fast, it looked like he rejected it, but accepted a ceasefire on energy stuff that I guess was what it was always about? I thought it was a general cease fire

        Putin rejected the full 30-day ceasefire not the ceasefire regarding attacks on energy infrastructure.
