The idea the Russia is going to give Ukraine money sounds kind of insane. I see no world in which a broken Russia hands over cash to Ukraine. Never gonna happen.
So from what I'm reading, Ukraine will concede all the territory that Russia had originally demanded before the war started, all in exchange for a fifteen year guarantee from the United States that Russia won't take any more land?

Seems like the idea is that Ukraine would get the frozen Russian assets. So not so much Russia 'giving' them money, but them getting Russian money.
At least that's what I'm gathering from it.

Trump is upset about the alleged attack on one of Putin’s residences, which is super strange. Donald does not get upset about many things in this war but he is upset about that?

This is just Putin Trump pillow talk.
Remember that Ukraine already had these guarantees in place when they dismantled all nuclear capability. USA guarantees lost their shine.

There's no guarantee that it even happened, but the orange moron said Putin told him so, so of course Trump is going to push any pro-Putin propaganda he can.
It's so sad that in a time like this when Ukraine needs a solid American ally, they need to rely on a mentally unwell convicted felon who clearly has been compromised by Russia. Could not be a worse person leading America right now for Ukraine.

Russia carried out a record number of missile and drone attacks on Ukraine in 2025 The enemy used more than 60 thousand guided bombs, about 2.4 thousand missiles and more than 100 thousand drones of various types. https://twitter.com/user/status/2006428348436603163
Russian retired general Leonid Ivashov, after watching Putin’s New Year address, demonstrated a clear understanding of what is happening in Russia: “Listen, I am a professor, a general, and a geopolitical researcher with decades of experience. I watched this four-hour show and saw neither a leader, nor a commander, nor a defender of the people. I saw only a man living in a fairy tale, while the rest of the country is trying to survive on 16,000 rubles a month.” Ivashov opposed the idea of invading Ukraine from the very beginning, and in this interview he once again emphasized his disagreement with what is happening in his country. Here are some of his other notable statements: https://twitter.com/user/status/2006161811968594416

Truly, one of the most disgusting things I've seen the russians do. Literal Al-Qeada ISIS #### to strap on a suicide "vest" like this and send them running in.

TEA OR BALCONY? Staggering Russian casualties at Pokrovsk and Huliaypole have led to the dismissal of Russia Lieutenant General Sukhrab Akhmedov. He was responsible for the massive losses of Russia’s jinxed 155th Marine Brigade. https://twitter.com/user/status/2011636356611457450

Putin is unrepentant. He is ever, and will always be, the KGB agent. He is a dictator with decades of bloodshed on his hands. He's the biggest thief in the history of the world
Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin states that there is only one option for ending the war: “We must make sure that Ukraine wins and regains all of its territories, including Crimea.”

Russian propagandists are simply having a breakdown... of consciousness. It's so intense that you could warm your hands on the monitor. The British The Times published an article in which, citing intelligence data, it revealed information about Russian losses in Kupiansk. British intelligence officers believe that in the battles under Kupiansk, the Russians lost 27 soldiers for every Ukrainian. https://twitter.com/user/status/2012208622269321683
