Putin-Trump Call, Russia-Ukraine War, Zelensky, NATO, Peace Agreement, Biden Grants

Vladimir Putin claims vic­to­ry in the Rus­sia-Ukraine war, empha­siz­ing uncon­di­tion­al sur­ren­der in a can­did call with Pres­i­dent Trump. Despite West­ern media nar­ra­tives of Ukraine’s suc­cess and Russia’s col­lapse, Putin high­lights Russia’s robust oil exports and trade with non-sanc­tion­ing nations. He demands a Ukraine gov­ern­ment friend­ly to Rus­sia, an end to NATO expan­sion, and no fur­ther weapons to Kyiv, crit­i­ciz­ing Zelensky’s cor­rupt par­lia­ment and alleged per­se­cu­tion of Ortho­dox Chris­tians. Trump urges Ukraine-Rus­sia talks, warn­ing that Putin could seize all of Ukraine. Moscow is draft­ing a peace agree­ment, and many coun­tries are resum­ing air traf­fic with Rus­sia, sig­nal­ing warm­ing diplo­mat­ic ties. Trump frames the con­flict as a Euro­pean issue, insist­ing the EU should lead, as Biden’s finan­cial aid to Ukraine dries up. Zelensky’s defiance—“we will not give away our land”—faces pres­sure, with Russia’s For­eign Min­is­ter Lavrov vow­ing to pro­tect Ukraine’s Ortho­dox Chris­tians. Crit­ics argue this pres­sures Zelen­sky to step down, as Putin remains stead­fast, claim­ing no rush to end the con­flict.

• Putin and Rus­sia won the war. The phone call between Don­ald Trump and Putin. Putin has said over and over that he is will­ing to accept an uncon­di­tion­al sur­ren­der. There are a lot of peo­ple that claim that Rus­sia is on the verge of col­laps­ing. We were told for 4 years that Ukraine was win­ning the war, every­time the Biden grants need­ed to be sent over to Ukraine. Rus­sia has been sell­ing oil and their prod­ucts. Rus­sia has avenues to export what they want. Many coun­tries are hon­or­ing the sanc­tions but there are many more that have been trad­ing with Rus­sia. Our team is meet­ing with Rus­sia to restore rela­tions. Putin keeps going back to the fact that he won the war. Our net­works and our media are not going to tell you the truth. They want to tell you that there is anoth­er round of sanc­tion ready to imple­ment. These are the head­lines we have in Amer­i­ca. Putin is stand­ing strong in the phone call, he wants peace in the region. Putin is giv­ing the root caus­es. NATO keeps creep­ing on Rus­sia bor­ders, the NATO aggres­sion has to stop. Zelen­sky, his cor­rupt par­lia­ment and the Nazis have to go to Ukraine. There needs to be a Ukrain­ian gov­ern­ment that is friend­ly to Rus­sia. No more weapons in Ukraine. Aus­tralia wants to send tanks to Ukraine, why to con­tin­ue a war that is killing them? Putin doesn’t want legions of peace­keep­ing troops at the bor­der.
• We don’t want unfriend­ly gov­ern­ments, nor does Rus­sia. 
• Trump backs off meet­ing with Putin, calls for direct Ukraine-Rus­sia talks. Zelen­sky has a tin cup going all around the world. 
• Rus­si­a’s posi­tion is clear — to elim­i­nate the root caus­es of the cri­sis. Putin and Trump had a very can­did con­ver­sa­tion. Moscow is inter­est­ed in draft­ing a peace agree­ment with Kyiv. Rus­sia will pro­pose the agree­ment to Kyiv. 
• Avi­a­tion agency says many coun­tries are ready to resume air traf­fic with Rus­sia. Diplo­mat­ic rela­tions are get­ting worked out all over the world. 
• Trump is ready to say… this was a Euro­pean sit­u­a­tion, it should have remained a Euro­pean sit­u­a­tion. Europe keeps want­i­ng to push against Russia’s bor­der. Go it alone!
• Zelen­sky “We will not give away our land in an unjust peace”
• Trump threw out a warn­ing. He is try­ing to tell all of us that Putin could take the whole thing. 
• This is a sig­nal that Zelen­sky has to go. Take a look how zelen­sky is treat­ing chris­tians in Ukraine. “Rus­sia will nev­er aban­don Ortho­dox Chris­tians in Ukraine and will do every­thing to restore the church there.” Lavrov says. Putin is in no rush to stop. He won the war. 
• Trump says the Biden grants have run out. The EU knows that they can’t go with­out the US. What you don’t hear in con­gress is the push back on the for­eign pol­i­cy. The con­sti­tu­tion gives the exec­u­tive branch a lot of pow­er in for­eign pol­i­cy. 
• Trump back­ing away, may be the last thing to push Zelen­sky to the table.  Zelen­sky will have to leave Ukraine. 
• Trump is head­ing to Capi­tol Hill.
