🤡🤡🤡 American reporter Brian Glenn, who had asked Zelensky about his suit back in February, received a bottle of Russian vodka as a token of appreciation.

Trump looked weak and inconsequential. He’s diminished the office of President and made the United States irrelevant.

What a blatant ridicule: Putin said that he agrees that the security of Ukraine should be ensured.
“I agree with (US President Donald) Trump that the security of Ukraine must be secured, and of course, we are ready to work on that,” he said.
