Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he remains “ready to sign” a US-Ukraine minerals deal despite leaving the White House without an agreement following a contentious meeting with Trump.

Speaking in London after a European leaders’ summit, Zelensky emphasized that their fractious meeting only benefited Putin.

Refusing to discuss territorial concessions, he stated the “best security guarantees are a strong Ukrainian army.”

Responding to calls from Senator Graham that he resign, Zelensky quipped he is “exchangeable for NATO” membership, saying this would mean he had “fulfilled my mission.”

    I guess, man, but we’re talking about people that seem to have an unlimited capacity to distort reality in order to make the narrative true. Never forget that on J6 the capitol was stormed by righteous patriots trying to save democracy and that they were just on a peaceful tour after being told to go in by capitol police and also that they were a violent antifa mob.

      It’s less about bringing Trump and US conservatives around than it is about maintaining the moral high ground for help from Europe.
