Donald Trump has said that he and Vladimir Putin have agreed to begin negotiations to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine, as the secretary of defence, Pete Hegseth, said that Ukraine would have to cede territory and reject Nato membership in order to reach a deal.

The rapid entry into negotiations with Russia and open demands that Ukraine concede land will have set alarm bells ringing in Kyiv and among its European allies that the Trump administration will offer minimal resistance to Putin’s demands in order to cut a deal as quickly as possible.

In a social media post, Trump said that held a “lengthy and highly productive phone call” with Putin and that they agreed to “have our respective teams start negotiations immediately”.

      Ukraine doesn’t have to acknowledge any of it. They are their own nation. Trump is just acting a fool as always

        Yeah they can just say piss off to Trump, and take your support with you. We don’t need your help!

          They can hold on with EU help alone. That said, it will suck balls, and I winder if the EU can pull its head out of its ass for once.

            It might be a case where the EU needs to help Ukraine stick it out long enough for the US to pull its head out of its ass in the next 4 years.

            At that point, the war will have been going on for 7 years. Ugh.
