A Statement from President Donald J. Trump

“We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

‼️🇬🇧 Prospects for ending the war and the results of concluding peace

▪️Anton Belikov, a volunteer of the SVO and candidate of philosophical sciences, discusses this.

➖"Let's be honest: we fought against the combined economic, political and military might of the United Europe and the USA, backed up by the frostbitten, propaganda-fueled non-brothers. And we stood firm, and not only stood firm, but we are now dictating the terms of peace to the united West.

▪️Note that we do not see Europe or China participating in the negotiations. It turns out that the contours of the new world are being drawn by Russia and the United States, while the role of other countries is noticeably reduced. And now the West is starting to fussily offer Russia to return to the G8. This means that Russia has not just returned to the concert of world powers. It has entered the absolute world top.

▪️Judging by Lavrov's statement yesterday, the guidelines with which we want to reach a peace treaty have not changed. Let me remind you: he announced the refusal to introduce Western peacekeepers, reminded us of the regional borders, and hinted that Russia does not want to deal with the current Ukrainian elite.

▪️Remember how the liberal West was running around with Perezagruzka in the early 2010s? They pressed the button, remember?.. It was an attempt to arrange Dogovornyak. And what, did they succeed? Oh, no. Putin continued to push his line, outlined in the Munich speech in 2007. And now, when the US has made a right turn, the entire globe is starting to live in the world that Putin invented. Well, yes, our president is the architect of a new political reality. Does this look like a "fixed deal", or is it still a victory?

▪️And to all those who say that without the immediate capture of Kharkov and Odessa it will not be a victory, but a "fixed agreement", I can give my bulletproof vest and offer to personally storm Odessa and Kharkov. Because those who shout the loudest about the "fixed agreement" themselves usually hang around somewhere near the front line, but never on the front line," Belikov sums up.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸 International investors began hunting for Russian stocks after the start of negotiations between Russia and the US, - Bloomberg

▪️Investors are buying up "everything that has even the slightest connection to Russia."

▪️They are buying up Russian government bonds at auctions following signs of warming relations between Russia and the US.

▪️The Finance Ministry’s recent placements at weekly auctions for the placement of federal bonds (OFZ) were the largest since at least the beginning of 2022.

▪️In the last three sales, the government sold 608 billion rubles ($6.9 billion) of fixed-coupon bonds at par, 60% of the planned volume for the entire first quarter, according to Bloomberg calculations based on ministry data.

▪️Russia finances its budget deficit by placing OFZs.

▪️After the start of negotiations between Russia and the United States, the Russian ruble exchange rate also began to strengthen.

‼️🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦Starmer's visit to Trump is a sobering preview for Ukraine — Politico

▪️Trump appears to have remained unmoved by the British prime minister's desperate plea for a stronger US commitment to defending Ukraine, Politico reports.

▪️Realizing that Trump had not agreed to provide Ukraine with “security guarantees,” Starmer ran around with a more modest request to “support” European countries’ efforts to protect Ukraine from a possible future Russian invasion. Trump responded to all of this in the negative.

▪️The media believe that such an uncompromising position became a sobering signal for European partners who expected changes ahead of the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House.

▪️Trump, who sat next to Starmer, declined to answer questions about what steps the US might take to contain Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressing confidence that the former KGB agent would not turn down a possible peace deal.

▪️On Sunday, after Trump said that European countries could independently carry out a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine without the Americans, one of the journalists asked him a direct question about whether he supported Article 5 of the NATO charter, according to which an attack on any member of the alliance is considered an attack on all.

▪️ "I support it. I don't think we'll have a reason to do that. I think we'll have a very successful peace, and I think it'll be a lasting peace," the US president responded.

‼️🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 To compensate for the lack of US aid, European countries will have to double their spending on supporting Ukraine — The Economist

▪️If the US stops supporting it, the EU will have to roughly double its contribution to 0.4% of GDP. Finland already spends that amount, and Denmark even more. However, these countries are not the main suppliers of military aid to Ukraine.

▪️Since the beginning of 2022, the European Union has allocated 113 billion euros in financial, military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. This is just over 0.2% of the EU's GDP for each of the three years. Earlier, the media also reported that some types of American weapons cannot be replaced.

‼️🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦 UK PM to Host European Leaders to Plan Next Steps on Ukraine — Bloomberg

▪️The meeting will take place in London. Among the participants of the meeting will also be Zelensky, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and the presidents of the European Commission and the European Council Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa.

▪️It is expected that the meeting will discuss security guarantees for Kyiv from European countries in the event of a ceasefire with Russia.

▪️European leaders want the US to provide aerial intelligence, surveillance and air cover as a last resort to help European peacekeeping troops.

▪️Earlier, during a press conference in Washington, Trump refused to give such a guarantee, although later, under pressure, he said: “If they need help, I will always be with the British.”

▪️Ahead of the talks, a British official said even some uncertainty from the US could be a deterrent because Putin does not know how the US would react if he attacks European peacekeepers.

🇺🇸👊🇺🇦 Live fight: Zelensky and Trump have a heated argument: "You are showing disrespect to the United States "

▪️Zelensky spoke out against the ceasefire and truce that Trump just called for.

➖"We will never accept just a ceasefire. Russia will violate it," the clown said.

▪️Before this, Trump told Zelensky that a ceasefire in Ukraine is inevitable.

▪️"We are heading towards World War III, you have no right to play with it," Trump tells Zelensky.

▪️"You are disrespecting our country," Trump said.

▪️Zelensky initially tried to interrupt Trump and object to him, but now he has gone quiet and is sitting silently for now.

▪️Trump to Zelensky: "Either we sign the agreement, or you withdraw from it. You have no strong position. You should express gratitude to us. And you do not do this. This is bad."

▪️Zelensky is silent.

▪️Trump told Zelensky that he is “playing with the lives of millions of people.”

▪️Ukraine has "big problems" in the conflict with Russia: "I know you're not winning."

▪️Trump to Zelensky: We gave you 350 billion, you should be grateful

▪️Zelensky previously stated that “Putin must pay for the restoration of Ukraine.”

▪️Trump: "I hope I'm remembered as a peacemaker. I do this to save lives - that's more important than anything else..."

🇺🇸🖕🇺🇦 Trump yelled at Zelensky: Your problems start right now

— Do you even have a suit?

- Yes, I have.

- Some Americans are unhappy that you do not respect the formal style.

▪️Trump directly yelled at Zelensky: "We gave you 350 billion. You are now in a difficult situation. You do not have any strong cards in your hands. We want to save your country and stop the war. You cannot say - "I do not want to stop the war." Without us, you do not have any strong cards in your hands."

▪️"You see how much he hates Putin. It's very hard for me to make a deal with that kind of hatred. He has a huge hatred."

Trump on Zelensky...

▪️Earlier, Trump said that Zelensky is "playing with the lives of millions of people" and gambling with World War III.

▪️Vance: "There are almost no men left in Ukraine, you have no one to fight with, you can't even recruit people for the army."

▪️Communication between Zelensky and Trump with the media has ended.

🇺🇸🤬🇺🇦 Details of the tough conflict between Trump and Zelensky

➖Zelensky: Can I say, Mr. President?

➖ Trump: No, you've already said too much!

▪️Full recording of Trump's spat with Zelensky: how it happened.

▪️Vice President Vance said that in order to stop the war, you need to talk to both sides. Including Putin.

▪️In response, Zelensky gave a speech on the topic that Putin cannot be trusted, and that it is impossible to negotiate anything with him at all.

▪️Vance responded by saying that Ukraine has big problems at the front, there are not enough people and the war needs to be ended.

▪️Zelensky responded to this rather rudely, saying that Vance had not been to Ukraine and therefore could not know what was missing and what was not.

▪️And then Trump took the floor, who again began to summarize the case that it was necessary to end the war as soon as possible and also expressed the opinion that Ukraine has problems with the current state of affairs at the front.

▪️But Zelensky interrupted him: Everyone has problems with war. You have an ocean, it fences you off. But you will feel...

➖Trump: You can't know that. Don't tell us how we're going to feel. We're trying to solve your problem. Don't force your position on us.

➖Zelensky: We are not imposing anything.

➖Trump: You have no right to dictate to us how we will feel. We will be fine. We will be great. We will be strong. We will be powerful. You are not in a strong position now, not a very advantageous one to begin with. You are not in the right conditions. You do not have the right cards in your hand.

➖Zelensky: I'm not playing cards here.

➖Trump: I speak with reason. Millions of people are at risk. We are on the brink of World War III. You cannot play around with this. You are disrespecting our country. You cannot tell us what to do. We gave you $350 billion - weapons, equipment. If you did not have our weapons and our equipment, this war would be over in two weeks.

➖Zelensky: I heard from Putin about three days, now it’s already two weeks.

▪️Then, basically, only Trump spoke. He repeated again that the course of events in the war is not in Ukraine's favor. And therefore, Zelensky should not resist the ceasefire, but, on the contrary, be glad that the United States is helping to stop the fire. And generally be grateful.

▪️And at the end he said the key phrase: “Either we sign the agreement, or we leave.”

▪️This phrase can be interpreted unambiguously: if Zelensky does not want to sign a ceasefire agreement, then the United States will stop all support for Kyiv.

▪️That is, the worst-case scenario for Kyiv: the war continues, and there is no American support.

▪️Then Zelensky and Trump continued their conversation without the press. But, apparently, the subject of the conversation will not change. Trump will explain to Zelensky why he has no other choice but to conclude a truce, writes "Strana".

Victoria Nuland’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has released a statement following the halt of funding by DOGE and the Trump administration.

The NED, which are the architects of color revolutions in Eastern Europe including Ukraine and Georgia, states that as a result of the freeze “it has been unable to meet its obligations and has been forced to suspend support for nearly 2,000 partners worldwide.”

“Ninety-five percent of NED’s funding is directly appropriated by Congress and is not considered foreign assistance. This funding therefore was not subject to the executive order freezing foreign assistance for a ninety-day review. However, despite being exempt, access to these funds has been inexplicably cut off, forcing NED to halt all partner support and furlough the majority of its staff. While the U.S. Department of State has suspended a small portion of NED’s funding as part of the foreign assistance executive order, those funds represent only a fraction of the Endowment’s total budget.

The disruption is hitting hardest in highly repressive environments, where dedicated frontline organizations have been forced to lay off staff, curtail operations, and, in some cases, face increased security threats.” The organization is demanding that funding be resumed immediately.
