💯 Trump's peace plan is pro-Russian, it cannot become the basis for a just peace, — BILD citing Ukrainian officials
🗣️ "The plan is one-sided. Russia receives concrete benefits, Ukraine only vague promises." Trump wants to end the war, but does not make any commitments regarding our security.

If the Trump adminstration really has legitimate national security concerns, they can always set up a Signal group and include judge Boasberg.

Great thread on Russian negotiation tactics and the Trump-Putin Pact.
The Trump-Putin Pact already exists, and we should act accordingly. There are some things we will never change with nice words or smart clothing. If you are worried about those things, you should understand where Trump's tactics come from. From Russia.
