• Source says Putin demanding control of entire Donetsk region
  • Trump says Zelenskiy has ‘gotta make a deal’
  • Zelenskiy reported to have rejected demand
  • Zelenskiy to visit Trump on Monday with European back-up
  • Europeans say they will maintain or increase pressure on Russia

WASHINGTON/MOSCOW/KYIV, Aug 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Ukraine should make a deal to end the war with Russia because “Russia is a very big power, and they’re not”, after a summit where Vladimir Putin was reported to have demanded more Ukrainian land.

After the two leaders met in Alaska on Friday, Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Putin had offered to freeze most front lines if Kyiv ceded all of Donetsk, the industrial region that is one of Moscow’s main targets, a source familiar with the matter said.

    They almost did. Then Elon turned off skylink. It’s hard to muster a counter offensive when your tactics are dictates by a single person.

    So, to answer your question. Yes, I do think they could. If they were actually allowed to fight off the leash.

    Elon should have gone to jail for that shit.
