Authoritarian pro putinazi #slovakia and #hungary regimes are anti European
and must immediately be stripped of EU voting rights and money.
Trump will mit Putin über Beendigung des Krieges in der #Ukraine reden. Was sagt die #UKR dazu? Was sagt #Europa? Was wirklich zählt: Der #Ukraine alles Nötige geben, damit sie ihre vollumfängliche Freiheit & territoriale Integrität erkämpfen kann. #StandWithUkraine #DemocracyVsAutocracy
Trump's narcissism has no bounds. He invites Putin (who has an international arrest warrant outstanding) to a summit. There has been virtually no preparation by the Trump camp, the only reason seems to be to satisfy Trump's self love. A just peace requires perspicacity & thoughtfulness, these qualities seem lacking in the current US administration. #StandwithUkraine #ClimateCrisis

KYRYLO #BUDANOV on UKRAINE in the new geopolitics! THE BIG INTERVIEW!
In this 10-min video, Vexler perfectly voices my own frustration with #Europe. “You cannot fight against putin without fighting against trump too.” #StandWithUkraine https://mastodon.ie/@EugeneMcParland/115000172270368313
In a sign of his growing frustration with #Putin's refusal to halt #Russia's military offensive, #Trump had threatened to impose new #sanctions & #tariffs from Friday against Moscow & countries that buy its exports unless the Russian leader agreed to end the conflict, the deadliest in #Europe since World War Two.
It was unclear by Friday evening whether those sanctions would take effect or be delayed or canceled.
Under the putative deal, according to Bloomberg, #Russia would halt its offensive in the Kherson & Zaporizhzhia regions along current battle lines.
Since his return to the White House in January, #Trump has moved to mend relations with Russia & sought to end the war. In his public comments he has veered between admiration & sharp criticism of #Putin.
Tyson Barker, the US #State Dept's former deputy special representative for #Ukraine's economic recovery, said the peace proposal as outlined in the Bloomberg report would be immediately rejected by the Ukrainians.
"The best the Ukrainians can do is remain firm in their objections & their conditions for a negotiated settlement, while demonstrating their gratitude for American support," said Barker, a senior fellow w/the Atlantic Council.
#Putin claims four #Ukraine regions – Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia & Kherson – as well as the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, which he annexed in 2014. His forces do not fully control all the territory in the four regions.
Earlier, Bloomberg News reported that #US & #Russia officials were working towards an agreement that would lock in Moscow's occupation of territory seized during its military invasion.
In a video address to the nation posted on his Telegram channel on Saturday, #Zelensky said that any decisions without #Ukraine would be decisions against peace.
"They will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They are unworkable decisions. And we all need real & genuine peace," Zelensky said.
