Russia says it cannot accept US peace plan for Ukraine ‘in its current form’

Insisteixo: mitja esquerra occidental, despistadíssima nivell ser més a prop de Trump que de Sanders en aquest tema.
Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
