this Zelensky is not serious. somebody who embarks on state vists and cant enough wear a suit....show some respect. I blame Biden and Europe for leading him on in a war he could never win.

His country is at war, do you really expect him to walk around in suits all the time, or are you just dumb?

As for my opinion, never fully trust the United States. Their government changes every four years, making their policies unpredictable (if na China dey Ukraine now, trust me it would he long term). If the U.S., the main funder of the war, says "ceasefire," then that’s what will happen. Whether Trump is acting as a Russian puppet is a separate discussion. But let’s be real, if the U.S. stops funding the war, do you really think Zelensky can stand against Russia? Not even all of Europe combined could.

Sanctions haven’t really hurt Russia, so from Trump’s perspective, if his goal is to rebuild the U.S. economy, there’s no reason to keep spending money on a war in Europe. Priorities have shifted. it's that simple.

You children are confused in this forum. One day, you spell Zelensky with one “y,” another day with two. Make up your minds.

Lol, you're not serious... I had to go check out the correct spelling... Lol

I still dont understand why Zelensky went to the US for this meeting.

If Ukraine has these minerals that are so sought after which can be used to manufacture weapons, how did Zelensky not develop his countr'ys defenses instead of depending on NATO which eventually let him down?

I warned zelensky but he didn't listen, all his ers are now nowhere to be found, USA are not worthy to be trusted, they do everything to favor their own aims and goal, now you have to negotiate your minerals for your freedom instead of you to stay off the proxies you allowed your self to be caught off guard 🙆🙆☝️☝️☝️, Putin please have mercy on this poor slowpoke

People must understand that slave blood isn’t in Eastern Europeans. They will die but they will fight.

Zelenskyy isn’t the one blowing the embers. Ukrainians inherently hate Russians. I’m yet to know a Ukrainian that doesn’t.

Vance said a lot but said nothing, retreating to emotional blackmail is toddler politics.

America is forgetting history, once Russia takes Ukraine they automatically become bigger economically, financially and in military than the US and China combined. Europe wouldn’t stand a chance, and all the Baltic countries will give in. The face of the geopolitical map of the world will change and no country for years to come will be able to challenge their authority.

To Africans, name 5 successful black men in Russia?
Choose your poison wisely, native Russians don’t like blacks.

But is the Ukraine president so docile or is it the office that humbled him? He was just acting like a house boy that's being reprimanded by his Oga

On the other hand, why will Trump allow media to such a meeting just for them to "wash" the guy down... E no make sense na... Na person Papa be that, president of a whole country

You can't blame him. We all see what is going on in front of cameras, but some of use forget that these two people who occupy the highest office in the land have access to privy and classified information. That may have triggered him concerning Zelenzky.

what is the classified information?

His country is war thorn do you expect him to start wearing suits up and down or you’re just dumb?


My view on this, never trust the UNITED state, a country where its government changes every 4 years. If USA the major funder of the war says ceasefire so be it, whether Trump is being Russian puppet or not is a matter to be discussed separately,. Should USA stop the funding do y’all think Volodimir Zelensky can stand Russia head-on? Not even the whole Europe combine. The sanctions don’t work on Russia so its better for Trump , giving his vision to revamp Americas economy, there is no need to keep funding an unnecessary war in europe. It’s that simple! Priorities has changed

you are the dumb one. Putin no dey wear suit? abi no be the same war them dey fight? is the war in the white house? is he at the battle front? is he the first to fight a war?

Unless the media is also being used as a negotiating gambit to wear down Zelenskyy

Trump certainly knows how to play his cards...

Trump is right. Comedian Zelensky doesn't hold the cards. America through sleepy Joe Biden kept the war going for this long and America will stop it today by withdrawing their and allowing Comedian Zelensky to either make a deal or Ukraine falls naturally to Russian control.

Donald Trump is trying to cow Zelensky into submission by all means possible.


His main grouse against Zelensky was that he "campaigned" with the opposition thereby incurring his wrath.


DT is a vindictive personality and after winning the US presidential election, now intends to settle scores with all perceived enemies instead of concentrating on positive governance.


DT shouldn't be a president of a "first world" country.


Walahi!

But they ended up further exposing themselves as bullies and Zelensky showed the courage that Ukrainians have displayed to the world for the past 3 years.

Shame on European leaders for bowing to the idiotic convicted Felon named Trump and abandoning Ukraine at the last minute.

This is when God should show himself strong on Ukraine's behalf IF he truly exists.

President Trump is short sighted on his analysis of the war. It is true that the USA helped Ukraine during these times, but the USA also gained very valuable lessons from the war, which has made America way more stronger than Russia for now. In the first week of the war, with Ukrainian ground forces, America got s500, - which was Russia's newest weapon, getting that weapon will make Russia scrap that program, and go back to the drawing board. Also, the ability to study Russian hypersonic weapons in real time and even defend against most of them; and also other technical knowledge and strategies that could have been difficult to understand from a distance.


If Russia had taken over Ukraine in a month, went ahead and placed strategic weapons everywhere in ukraine; America would have been forced to spend over 500 billion or more, in one year, just to adjust to the perceived threat. Then, do you think Russia is not strategic; when they see America readjusting, they would have given china the confidence to take Taiwan in a month, which will make America spend lots of money in readjusting over there too. Then while that is going on, Russia might decide to take advantage and take Finland or Romania or even poland, to cause a distraction. Now, that ww3 you are avoiding, will come, without you having any knowledge of how to fight either Russia and/or china.


It is deeper than I stated, but Ukraine war has tremendously helped American weapons research and development. Also , Ukraine was limited from striking into Russia.


One might say to what end, which there are many avenues, but not like how President Trump is planning and doing it. He is doing it emotionally, and with short sightedness.


Back in the day, Russia will shout nuclear, Americans will cower. But after a while in the Ukraine war, Russia saw that they were very vulnerable, and now president trump, wants to give them an out, to go strengthen their weak points.



China will soon turn all these commercial ships to military logistics like they are slowly doing, latin America is shaky on their loyalty to America. Now, they are seeing that Russia can be a backer. And unlike before, it will be difficult for an American president to order Russia or china, to move away from the USA 's hemisphere.



President Trump needs to look at this long term. This cease fire will not hold. Russia feels emboldened, and they might even decide to use mini nukes to show their seriousness. Something they feared to do under President Biden, and that is because Biden was low on noise making, but very calculated after intelligence update.


To be continued....

I feel like crying for President Zelensky..

This situation will make any country review their military alliance with the US.

Coz lets say you make a deal with a cool headed president and someone like President Trump comes in and rubbish everything.


Political stability is part of what makes a country a developed one

If not for democracy , stupid presidents like Biden and Kamal , would have destroyed America.

How is trying to end a war not a cool thing ? I don’t understand people like you. So you are ok with a “cool” president fanning a war than a not so cool one who wants peace and people dying ?

Zelensky should shove his ego up his ass and cut a deal with the US in order to end the war.

US has seen that Russia is a formidable force economically and militarily after testing Russia's strength using Zelensky as a proxy.

US now knows that no amount of military aid to Ukraine can throw Russia off balance because Ukraine isn't just built tough enough to face Russia ordinarily.
God bless mother Russia. With love from Nigeria for Russia.

Mumu post

More Russians are dying more than Ukrainians. Putin is a dictator he can use the whole Russian revenue to fight the war and no one can cough. If Russia military is that good why bring in North Korean troops. Ukraine does not have the economy to fight long war otherwise Ukrainian military is better.
Russia is getting direct from China, Iran, North Korea and Belarus

Zelensky is the dumbest president alive.

Why would you go and start a war with an enemy that is bigger and better equipped than you, every month he goes cap-in-hand to beg Europe and America for money.

Very stupid goat!

It is because of his idiocy that Russia destroyed the world's largest cargo plane The Antonov 225 Mriya angry
He didn't start the war, he is just unlucky that he is facing a superior country. Putin took the advantage of his country capability against Ukraine, Putin started the war knowing that Ukraine is not his country mate.
Imagine Putin invading USA (which he can't try), what do you think will happen to him and his people, then you will know that the restriction placed on the use of nuclear weapons is just limited to other countries except for USA
