💥Zelenskyy HARSHLY responded to Putin: Drew the line! Trump STUNNED with a statement - War & Politics 24

The Armed Forces of Ukraine will not withdraw from Donbas in exchange for a ceasefire. The Constitution does not allow changes to the country's territorial integrity, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy states this at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Donald Trump assured European leaders that he would not discuss territory at his meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska and would demand that he negotiate with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Bloomberg reports. According to the agency, citing sources, Trump assured European leaders during a telephone conversation that he would not negotiate with Putin on Ukrainian territories during the meeting in Alaska and would insist on a meeting between the Kremlin leader and Zelenskyy. He reiterated his public statement that he would quickly find out whether the Russian president was serious about negotiations and said that the U.S. would be ready to contribute to supporting certain security guarantees, apart from Kyiv's full membership in NATO. - 08/14/2025.

am i confused , or does "the art of the deal" amount to taking from ukraine something that they will not have under new lines (the rare earth macguffin) and , in return, giving russia the rare earth of alaska?

before deal ukraine and alaska each have rare earth. after deal all rare earth ("the stuff that dreams are made of, sweetheart" bogart) belongs to putin. now that is 8 dimensional chess.

the multidimensional chess meme seems to manifest in this new luna committee, congressional oversight of interdimensional contact. those hearings should be great for c span ratings. meanwhile "interdimensional contact? " "congress has evidence"? whoa.
