So…as far as official details as to what these two countries have agreed to… the details are really quite skinny. Ukraine wanted security guarantees, & America didn’t want to provide them.

Aside from American geologists & mining professionals (& bureaucrats) being on the ground in the Ukraine in the future, is there any other security guarantees that are mentioned so far? Anything concrete at all?
Well, we're usually pretty reliable at protecting what's ours. So. . . give your country to us, and we'll protect it.

Ta-daaaaa!

Trump now claims he will liberate Mariupol for Ukraine. Rapid turnaround

Trump's position on ending the Russo-Ukrainian war is achieving a restoration of the pre-war status quo (also known as the Status quo ante bellum.) The Russians will never agree to such a thing.

Because that story is from a Thursday? Is it different today already? Is it different from Wednesday? Not being facetious but seriously… it’s like somebody flipping a coin every four hours.😁

Trump and Zelenskiy talked over each other as Trump insisted Zelenskiy was losing the Ukraine war and said, "people are dying, you're running low on soldiers."

He threatened to withdraw U.S. support in a standoff in front of reporters ahead of a planned signing ceremony for a revenue-sharing minerals agreement.

"You're either going to make a deal, or we're out, and if we're out, you'll fight it out. I don't think it's going to be pretty," Trump told him.

"You don't have the cards. Once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position. But you're not acting at all thankful, and that's not a nice thing. I'll be honest. That's not a nice thing."

Zelenskiy openly challenged Trump over his softer approach toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging him to "make no compromises with a killer."
Zelenskiy pushed back on Trump's claims that Ukrainian cities have been reduced to rubble by three years of war. Trump stressed that Putin wants to make a deal.

"You are gambling with World War Three," Trump told Zelenskiy at one point, urging him to be more thankful.

Vice President JD Vance interjected that it was disrespectful of him to come to the Oval Office to litigate his position, a point Trump agreed with.

"You didn't say thank-you," Vance said. Zelenskiy, raising his voice, responded: "I said a lot of times thank-you to American people."
