KYIV, March 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. is making its offer of security guarantees for a peace deal in Ukraine conditional on Kyiv ceding all of the country's eastern region of ‌Donbas to Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Reuters in an interview.

With the U.S. focused on its own conflict with Iran, President Donald Trump is applying pressure to Ukraine in an effort to bring a quick end to the four-year war triggered by Russia's 2022 invasion, Zelenskiy said.

I mean… trusting the current regime to actually back up any security guarantees would be… shall we say, foolhardy.

Well being that the U.S. Russia and U.K. gave security guarantees to Ukraine to turn over any Nuclear missiles/silos and such to Russia instead of attempting to update/maintain them.

We are currently seeing what the U.S. security guarantee looks like. Attacked multiple times and one president that took their attackers words before theirs near every time they spoke despite all evidence.

Fr holding on to those fuckers would have been the play tbh

Not worth it.

Security guarantees written by the current regime aren't worth the paper they're written on.

Iirc, this condition was rumoured before, and was then backtracked. Seems the pressure is back or never left.

Don't fucking do it

No worries, Zelensky won't and he actually can't give up any territory. It would be unconstitutional unless there's referendum. But doing this during wartime with drones & rockets falling on your head is bit undoable.

agreements with america have the half-life of a snowball on the beach in the tropics.

If it means Ukraine giving up territory, it won't happen. Which won't stop Trump from saying he stopped war #9, or whatever imaginary number he's up to in his head.

Still hostages in Ruzzia unfortunately. Where they are exposed to Ruzz propaganda, brainwashing techniques etc . Even the few who somehow got home need deprogramming via intense therapy. They pay a heavy mental emotional toll, and it takes years.

Propaganda and brainwashing are the least of it. They're being sexually abused, by the thousands.

Trump can go fuck Putin, then himself.
