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.

Just when you think the russians can't get anymore disgusting, here they are dancing on the corpses of literal children.

Trump shared an article casting doubt on Russia’s claim of an attack on Putin and accusing Moscow of being the one standing in the way of peace.

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.

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:
