Russian forces continue to batter Ukraine, devastating civilian areas. Ukrainian troops have mustered a resistance, but their resources are growing perilously thin.

Donald Trump pledged to end the war in Ukraine within his first 24 hours in office. But nearly 100 days into his second term, the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv grinds on.

Trump has lately shifted blame back and forth between the two leaders, lashing out at Zelenskyy for “prolonging” the “killing field,” and then blasting Putin for complicating negotiations with strikes on Ukraine late last week that were “very bad timing.”

As Trump struggles to resolve a complicated geopolitical crisis that started more than three years ago with Putin’s brazen full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he has admitted he’s been frustrated by the negotiations — and now says that his promise of an immediate end to the conflict was an “exaggeration” made in “jest."

Trump has vowed lots of things. Three marriage pacts and two oaths of office, for example.

Its a joke. Trump is just frustrated because Zelensky didnt just gave up Ukraine territory to Russia, the aggressor, ran by a dictator / mob boss.

Trump is on the side of evil in this one. His solution is “give Putin what he wants so I can focus on taking Greenland or Canada”. These clowns are not leaders, they are the symbols of narcissism and evil.
