There are no "peace talks" being negotiated by Trump. This is entirely a mafa deal to enrich Trump's family and Trump's friends in exchange for Ukraine surrendering to the Russians their best fortifications in Donetsk that have been holding for 4 years.

Key points from President Zelenskyy's press conference today:
-The U.S. peace plan has been reduced to 20 points. The United States seeks compromises, but none exist when it comes to territory
- Ukraine has no right—under its Constitution, international law, or moral law—to surrender territory

💔 This is Avdiivka in Donetsk Oblast – wiped out by Russian missiles, drones, artillery and occupied since Feb 2024.
Once home to thousands, with schools, hospitals, jobs at the plant and even a direct train to Kyiv. Now it exists only in memories and pre-war photos.

In Kherson Russian terrorists murdered scientist Tetiana Asaulyuk.
On December 2, at about 20:30, Russian forces shelled the city with artillery. A 37‑year‑old woman was killed inside her own home. Her life extinguished not on the battlefield, but in the supposed safety of her walls.
