USA hasn't done anything FOR Ukraine, except to cost them more distruction, and loss of life.
Zelensky is right... Without security, they might as well continue fighting. Because it only means Russia will not be held to account, as they are permitted to go without now.
Russia owns 200k war crimes

It's a sabotage operation, and the Europeans are wise to it.
Just as he promised, he’s destroying NATO which has kept Europe & the US together for 80 years. This will open the doors for Russia to wage war or ultimatums on Europe for takeover & China to take Taiwan & eventually Japan along with other islands. To officially give presidents the dictator title.

Trump’s administration will never go to war with Russia. He can’t even bring himself to pressure Putin by offering Ukraine real security guarantees, so we don’t have any, and right now they’re worth nothing.
His team keeps repeating, “Don’t rely on America.” Well… unfortunately, there you have it.

Donald Trump said Russia wants to make a deal and that President Zelensky must start acting or risk losing a great opportunity. He stressed that Zelensky needs to move forward on the issue.
Listen Donny. Zelensky doesn't need to do anything. And specifically not listen to a traitor.
