So trump was trying to flexing his muscle. To bring Ukraine to a point where they wanted a ceasefire.
Which is ridiculous in the first place( they were attacked) ofc they want a ceasefire
Moscow is making impossible demands, to block a ceasefire.
What pressure will trump apply to Putin.

Zelensky going anywhere near Washington. Would be every bit a mistake, as it was last time.

Next time the Trump administration misleads Americans, remind them of the real numbers on aid to Ukraine: Europe has contributed $138 billion, surpassing the U.S., which has provided $120 billion.
Despite America’s substantial support, Europe’s collective effort is even greater.

Britain is one of the most surveilled states in the world.
Other western nations don't need to put their citizens at risk, nor does Britain.
This is not consistent with a free democracy.
