Trump RIPS Zelensky For Blocking Peace Deal! (Jimmy Dore)

President Trump on Wednesday lashed out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying he was harming peace talks with Russia after the Ukrainian leader said Kyiv would never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula.

Trump, in a post on his site Truth Social, rejected Zelensky’s red line on Crimea being excluded from negotiations with Russia and said the territory was “lost years ago” and “and is not even a point of discussion.”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the unwillingness of Zelensky, his European backers and the mainstream American press to acknowledge that Ukraine has lost this war and is not in any position to be making fanciful demands about the return of Crimea.



Dore's characterisation of the war in Ukraine, starting with the 2014 US-backed coup and immediate aggression against the eastern Russian speaking regions of the Donbas, is entirely correct. The simple fact of the matter is that the US has been at war with Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy, and they've lost. Any deal to end the fighting now has to be made on Russian terms.
