Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Kirkstall Blue]

Got to admit I find this a little premature ( appreciate we don’t have any idea what is being discussed between who). There must be security guarantees associated

The White House confirmed the deal on minerals maybe Macron gave Trump the real truth and facts. Zelenskyy is meeting Trump on Friday.
All the reporter in Ukraine said was it’s not the 500billion it’s a lot less



Our team has already begun working on the commitments made by our partners yesterday at the Support Ukraine Summit in Kyiv.I want to thank everyone who remained principled on such an important day—the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion.
We truly value that our partners are not only willing to continue supporting our country and people, but are also committed to increasing that support.

This will help us achieve peace more quickly—an honest peace that guarantees aggression will never happen again
Zelenskyy tonight SUBTITLES SO WORTH PLAYING
BRITON WILL GIVE £5.5billion dollars,
Norway £3.5billion dollars,
Denmark £385million dollars
Spain £1billion dollars
Sweden is preparing to send air defence systems

Any chance of europe doing a deal with Ukraine for the minerals so they can pay the yanks back and tell them to fuck off so they can negotiate their own deal to end the war with support from Europe?

The yanks shouldn't get any dollar back. For what? Treason? They can rightly duck off anyways.

Trumps face when Macron says Russia has to compensate Ukraine

Ireland sent some potatoes. Can we have rare earth minerals too?

Vladimir Poitin would never agree to it anyway.

Basically if the US invests 50% they get 50% of the profits. No security guarantees as they've irrelevant.

Hopefully by then European aid will start arriving in droves.

Starmer is not and never will be a statesman is what I was and am still laughing at.

Name one then

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

At this point Zelensky probably doesn't know who's grubby hands are most likely to lead to his demise, out of Putin or Trump.

Given the choice I’d side with the latter. After not much hesitation, really.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

It’s really hard to work out who’s being played here. Probably every ****.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I'm sure I'm not the only person on this forum that finds it morally repugnant that the good old usa is attempting to steal Ukraine's natural resources at its time of greatest need.

Some people have no morals.

Hopefully history will judge them accordingly.

History has been full of cunts. Always.

History has been full of cunts. Always.

And hopefully this **** will be judged as a **** on the world stage, sooner than most of those were.

You can't run a country like a business expecting to make a profit on every deal you do, the implications go far further than that.

Literally thieving from the Ukrainian people.

America will be remembered for this for a long time.

Thankfully!!!

 

[Blue Maverick]

I can’t see how a deal can be fine without security guarantee, what does Ukraine gain from that.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Wait until Trump says it $1trillion deal and then Zelensky corrects him, Trump will through his teeth to impress his sycophants
