  1. Trump is such a treseanous fuck is hard to wrap your mind around it.

    Europe should close the Danish straight.

  2. > Plan breaks US diplomatic convention but likely to go ahead despite concerns among Kyiv’s European allies

    > The Telegraph understands that Donald Trump has sent his peace envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to make the direct offer to Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

    > One well-placed source said: “It’s increasingly clear the Americans don’t care about the European position. They say the Europeans can do whatever they want.”

    > In a new interview with The Atlantic, Mr Yermak, who negotiated the latest peace plan, said: “Not a single sane person today would sign a document to give up territory.

    > In recent days, leaked phone calls showed how Mr Trump’s lead negotiator, Mr Witkoff, was found to have coached Russian officials on how to court the White House.

  3. This is paywalled, so from an alternative source citing the Telegraph:
    [“The original peace plan comprised 28 points. In it, the USA offered Moscow “de facto recognition” of the Russian occupation in several regions. Following crisis talks between Ukrainian and US delegations in Geneva, the document was reduced to 19 points – but according to several sources, the crucial passage on possible recognition remained. Ukraine consistently rejects renunciation For Ukraine, a formal renunciation of its own territory is out of the question. President Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak told “The Atlantic” magazine: “No sensible person would sign a document that gives up land.” The Ukrainian constitution prohibits territorial cessions without a nationwide referendum. According to the Telegraph, Jermak and security advisor Rustem Umjerow are to travel to Florida at the weekend. There, the Ukrainian delegation wants to discuss the next steps with Trump’s team at the Mar-a-Lago resort. According to the report, the most sensitive issues – in particular the territorial reorganization – will only be clarified in direct talks between Trump and Zelenskyi.”](https://www.bluewin.ch/en/news/international/usa-apparently-wants-to-recognize-russian-occupied-territories-in-ukraine-2984813.html)

    Edit: turning the quote into a link fucked up the formatting, somehow. Oh well.
