Trump Backs Putin’s Route for Talks, Dashing Ukraine’s Hopes for Swift Cease-Fire

(Tell me... what part of Trump's statement that they are seeking a peace deal as opposed to just another useless ceasefire is out of line? The ceasefire Zelensky wants is just an opportunity for him to beg for more money, skim part of it off the top and then retool his ragtag army for more casualties and more death on behalf of foreign interests.

He said that “it was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up.”...
